OUTLINES ATTITUDE.

London. March 24-Foreign Min
lister Milukoff has outlined the attitude
of the new Russian government in
foreign affairs to number Of Petro
grad and Moscow Journalists. A Reuter-
dispatch from Petrograd quotes the
FOREIGN minister as saying:
"By the change In regime We def
initely won the svmpathy of ne,ltrals
while Finland. thanks to the restora-
ton of her constitution has become
our friend.
To-day Russia is no longer dead
weight in the coalition of allies. She
is productive force. Henceforth all
rumors of separate peace must van
ish at once for all. 1t would be anti
national for freed Russia to come to
an understanding with reactionary
Germany"
The central committee and the par
liamentarv representatives of the con-
stituticna1 democratic party at Petro-
grad voted today in favor Of a repub-
lican form of government for Russia,
according to Petrograd disDatch.
Prof. Paul N. Milukoff. the foreign min

Simpson, Brennan and Capt Fox are

time, and along with other setbacks
comes the weather which is by far the
slowest at drying up in history of
Cardinal baseball. The spring days at
the end of this week have somewhat
relieved the situation by melting the
snow. but the lower campus is in such
condition that it loks as if the players
will go out on their Easter training
trip direct from the annex field.
