Given UItimatum They Must
Join With Government.
LOYAL TROOPS WIN IN TEST
Suppress Mutiny of Three Regiments
at the Front-Train Guns on Rebels

.Copyrlght.)

~ Petr0grad, June l4.--IEe kr0nstHdf
revolt has reached new stage of de-
veloplneHt owing to the formal re-
naaiat tlslsa siss
Of deputies. The garrison also vtrtu-
ally unanimously passed h resolution
demanding that the council obey all
the commands which the provisional
government issues in defense of the
revolution or in defense of Russia
against a foreign enemy.
Rebels Are Frightened.
This resolution so frightened the Sc
cessionist council that it's president,
the student Lamanotf, has come to Pc
trograd to again offer concessions to
the cabinet.
This action followed the adoption Of
an ultimatum by the all-Russia con-
gress of peasants delegates, sitting
here that Kronstadt must obey the pro-
visional government or starve. By a
vote of 1000 to A. the peasants adopted
the following resolution:
"The congress wishes to inform the
inhabitants of Kronstadt that the peas
ants will stop the dispatch Of all food
to Kronstadt If the town does not inn
mediately join her revolutionary forces
to those of the Russian democracy and
unless it recognizes the provisional gov
eminent"
The forces in the army at the front
which are loyal to the provisional gov
eminent have had their first test of
strength with disloyal pacifists and
have won atnotable victory.
Two days ago Lieutenant General
Stcherbatcheff, commander on the Rou-
manian front, gave an order to- disband
one infantry, one Tirailleur and one ST.
berian Tirailleur regiment, all of which
We're considered useless for fighting
purposes.
Troops in Mutiny.
Three regiments of another division
were ordered to take. up a new po-
sftion, but refused to do so, and there
upon received an order to disband.
The soldiers openly mutinied.
The men Of one of the regiments
arrested the commander and seven Off
GERS, tore their badges from their uni
forms and beat two officers, leaving
one insensible on the road.
A regimental committee resolved that
the regiment should not move. There
upon loyal committee of soldiers of
the whole army, after celebrating
with the army staff, pronounced for
stern action against the mutineers,
the ringleader of whom was named
Philipoff.
A resolute general was chosen and
given two divisions of loyal cavalry,
two battalions of infantry, one light
battery, armored motor cars and air
planes. When the loyalists generals
had occupied positions against the mu-
tineers he sent an ultimatum demand
ing the surrender of the ringleader,
that they take up positions as ordered,
and that they undertake to serve faith
fully in the future.
The mutinous soldiers, seeing that
they were surrounded, attempted to me-
gotiate, but at the last moment Phil
ipoff melted them to new resistance.
The loyalist general Immediately or
dered his guns into acton, whereupon
the rebels Internationally accepted the
ultimatum and surrendered Philipoff
and others.

STATES AIDED WITH FEDERAL
 ROAD MONEY
Take Advantage of Large
 Appropriation by Congress For Better Roads.

Washington, Dec. 21.-All the States of the Union have availed themselves of the opportunity of participating in the benefits of the Federal Aid Road Act, which appropriated $75,000, 900 for the construction of post roads and $10, 0,000,0 900 for forest roads, according to the report of the Director of the Office of Public Roads and Rural En- gineering, United States Department of Agriculture. That the passage of the act has stimulated road building is shown by the fact that in 1916 there were approximately $41 1000, 900 of State funds expended for all highway pur- poses, and it is estimated that in the calendar year 1917, the aggregate ex- penditures of State funds for this purpose will be at least $60, 900, ,000. A number of the States have made spe- ctf1c appropriations to meet Federal aid dollar for dollar. Among these are New York, Illinois, Michigan, Rhode Island. Nevada, Iowa, Florida. and Vermont
