The Socialist Ministers IN the provisional
Cabinet MN. Tseretelli and SBobeleff went

The supreme executive was governing

Socialist organizations
Ultimate authority rested in a Parlia-
ment OF 2lS members elected by the SOL
diers sailors and workmen, with three repre-
sentatives OF each Socialist organization
and three women factory hands, who are
said to be extremely active social workers
and enthusiastic propagandists.

were clearly defined. The social revolution
aries dominated in the general political
questions. being most eloquent and active
and mostly related TO the peasants, from
whom come a vast majority Of the military.
All departmental work was done by COM
missions, the members of which were to
have equal power. There were commits
sions resembling petty war ministries, which
controlled the actions of the military and
naval commanders, who were all locally
elected. and also a general revision COM
mission, exercising the functions of a con-
troler general, which checked up expendi-
lures and the work Of departmental COM
missions. The Government published an
official newspaper, with reports OF the de-
bates in Parliament and other news.

IN this section of burlington County. The

which needed a soaking. Some estimate
that this crop will be benefited 20 per
cent All vegetation has needed the
moisture, and everything will be given new
life, since the sun has come out and the
temperature is conducive to crop advance
ment. Farmers expect thousands of dollars
worth Of benefit through n replenshng of
their brooks and wells, as all of them have
been low lately, and this condition has con.
tributed to the backwardness OF the season.
