LONDON. Nov. S.-Premier Keren-
thrown according to a dispatch today
from Petrograd.
The Maximalists are declared to be
in full control and it is reported that
they will Immediately sue for a sep
arate peace with Germany.
No word reached London of what
has happened to Premier Kerensky
One dispatch stated that several MEM
bers of the provisional government
had been arrested.
The Maximalists were enabled to
overthrow the provisional government
it was said as the result of several
Cossack regiments going over to their
side. The Cossacks had been expect
ed to support Kerensky, even in an
armed clash.
None of today's dispatches made any
mention of the womens battalion of
death Previously it had been re-
ported that the women soldiers had
been drawn up in front of the Winter
palace and that they would remain
loyal to the premier.
Leon Trotzky who returned to Rus
sia from America following the revo-
luton and abdication of the czar, is
the leading spirit in the present activ-
tiles of the Maximalists.
The Bolsheviki are the most ex-
treme radicals of Russia, correspond
ing in many ways to the 1. w. w. of
this country. They are a branch of
the Maximalists that broke away from
the slightly less radical groups after
the revolution and began at once a
determined drive for a separate peace
with Germany. They have been ex-
tremely susceptible to the wiles OF
German agents, it is understood.
Among their desires is an imme-
diate peace without annexation or in
IDENTITIES. Later objects are division
of the land among the peasants and
the abolition of privately owned prop
erty and other wealth. They are a
big factor in the council of soldiers
and workmen's delegates of Petrograd
This is an official organization. They
only hold forth in Petrograd and are
not in evidence elsewhere in Russia.
The Maximalists are in control o
all of the telegraph and cable lines
from Petrograd and every dispatch
sent out is censored by their repre-
sentatives.
1t is not known definitely whether
there were any serious clashes be
tween troops loyal to Kerensky anC
the military forces controlled by thu
radicals.
A Bolshevid manifesto has been is
sued calling a constituent assembl.
at once to administer the government
Dispatches say it is planned to dis
tribute all of the land to the peasants
