Minister NerdereySki At first NcrkhOv-

lately seems TO have been courting
popularity among the Bolsheyikists,
with an eve. not 10 personal aggran-
dzement, but 70 creating good feeling
between soldiers and the upper com

Marine Minister Nerderovski. also an
Independent Socialist, succeeded Ad-
miral Maximoff as commander of the
Baltic Aeet.
Had Refused to Obey kerensky
He refused during the Bolshevikist
uprising last July TO obey Kerensky's
orders, and went with the Bolshevikist
delegation from Helsingfors to Petro-
grad to report that he would not obey,
and he was then arrested. His ap-
poirtmcnt as Marine Minister can be
stopped only by the BolShevikistS, espe-
cial!y as they are very strong in the
feet.
As interesting, and. perhaps, as i'm
portant as any entrance into the new
Cabinet is the exit OF that old revo-
lutionist, Tchernoff. who was Agricult-
ure Minister. He, representing the
revolutions left wing. or extreme view.
disappeared, and Avksentef. repre-
senting the right wing, replaced him.
