resses to the new order.
Moscow, Kharkof1 Tsaritsyn and
Volgoda have already formally ac-
knowledged the new government, and
so far as known not a single quarter
of the country appears to be holding
out for the old regime.
The first anxiety of the new gov
eminent is to gather up the reins
with as little confusion and delay
as possible, so that there will be no
period of uncertainty of which Rus
sia's enemies can take advantage Ev-
eryE effort is being made, first of all,
to keep supplies and munitions NOV
ing to the front.
None the less, the future looms
large in all eyes. One Of the most
striking figures Of the day was Min
lister Of Justice Kerensy, a Socialist,
who in speech from the gallery Of
the lobby Of the Duma told throng
of soldiers and workmen that he had
already published a decree of full
amnesty to all political prisoners.
Kerensky, it is stated, consented to
take office only on condition that a
Constitutional Assembly, with full
power to decide on the future char
acter of the government, be elected
and convened as soon as possible, and
that universal suffrage be given in the
election of the Assembly.
