safety.
Trotsky, Lenine and others OF the
Bolsheyiki ring In Petrograd are
wildly striving by merciless persecu-
ton OF elements opposed to them. TO
reach a separate peace with Ger
many before the deluEe.
A separate peace would mean the
beginning OF a RussiaIwide civil
war.
Such was the story brought here
today by a Minimalist courier direct
FROM Petrograd
He told the United Press that the
Russian nation is rising 20 stamp
out the Bolsheviki.
The Bolsheyikl commissaries

GOVERNMENT DECLARES 1T Is
NECESSARY TO STRENGTHEN
THE ORGANIZATION.
DANGER STILL THREATENING
A Cabinet of Five Members, includ.
ing Premier kerensky, Has Been
Named to Take Care of All Matters
of State.

A Russian republic has been pro-
claimed. The provisional government
under date of September "a issued a
proclamation declaring hat to
strengthen the organization of the
state a change to a republican form
of government was necessary.
Danger still threatens Russia, the
proclamation says, although the re-
bellion of General Korniloff has fail
ed. The plan Of a Russian republic
has been one of the chief aims of
the radicals and the councils OF SOL
diers' and workmen's delegates and
wa S given approval by the recent
Russian congress at Moscow.
A cabinet Of five members, includ-
ing Premier Kerensky, has been
named to take care of all matters Of
state.
The only party men are Premier
Kerensky and M. Nikitine, minister
Of posts and t~elegraphs, both Of
whom are social revolutionists. The
others, including the ministers of war
and marine, are the members of no
party.
Although the position of the Ke-
rensky government appears to be i'm
proving, the action of the grand coun-
ell Of the Don Cossacks in refusing to
surrender General Kaledines, their
hetman, is ominous. The leader Of
the Cossacks is accused of completely
in the Korniloff revolt. The Cossacks
protest their loyalty to the govern
ment, while ignoring the govern
ment's request for the giving up Of
General kaledines.

Observation-Disclosures of the sol
diers' and sailors insurance bill for
allowances of from IS to $50 a month
to dependents during the service of

ed by the house.
Strenuous efforts of Representative
Heating of Colorado. speaking for va
rious humanitarian organizations, to
have the allowances raised, failed. He
maintained that statistics proved that
the proposed allowances would not
permit families to live in ordinary
comfort. but administration leaders re-
piled that higher payments would
make the cost to the government
prohibitory.
These are the amounts, in addition
to any sum taken from the pay. that
dependents would receive monthly:
