FETROGRAD tvia London). May 49,

viewer that his resignation was due
to an impossible position arising rom

then, let them take the responsibilities"
The last straw which led to the com

lof's orders should be presented to the
committee for its indorsement. Cen

In an order issued on May g. General
Is kornilof warned the inhabitants of

the capital was impending by way of

Let us not endanger success by COM
