KERENSKY HAILED AS RUSSIA'S
SAVIOR.
for Drastic Powers in Dealing With
Army.

Petrograd, Aug. 4 (via London,
Aug. 6.-The all-night political con-
ference at the Winter Palace which
was concluded this morning by pas
sage of a resolution in which conf
dence in Premier Kcrensky was ex-
pressed by each of the five parties
represented and in which he was in
vited to form his own cabinet, was
conducted in the strictest order, but
with intense emotion. All the par
Elephants were obviously convinced
that the decision to be reached meant
Russia's regeneration or ruin.
In conversation with the Associated
Press correspondent who was per-
mitted to be present. the minister de-
clared the conference to be the most
momentous event in the empire since
1913, when the election Of the first
Romanoff by similar conference of
notables at Moscow saved the country
from dissolution.
The debate resolved itself into a
series Of panegyrics Of the absent
Kerensky. who was acclaimed the
only man invested with the qualities
necessary to restore order while pre-.
serving liberty. Foreign Minister
Tercstchcnko declared that Russia
OF xn Gvht O,,t h
winter and that Kerensky alone pos
sessed the confidence of the nation
M. Tseretelli, the minister Of posts
and telegraphs, in an emotional
speech, echoed the view that Kerensky
was the only man who could save the
country. In order to allevite his task
declared the speaker. the government
would abstain from forcing through
the party program. The procuratol
of the Holy Synod, NJ. Lvoff, said that
he, too. considered the premier the
man destined to be Russia's savior
Minister Of Justice Efremoff described
the premier as indispensable.
Paul N. Milukoff, leader of the Con.
stitutional Democrats, stated that his
party was still ready to attempt the
formation of a coalition governmen,
with NJ. Kerensky as a chief who has
all the qualifications for success.
After an interval the debate was
resumed and Vice Premier Nekrasofl
announced the demands made by Gen
Korniloff for assurances from Petro.
grad that he would have drastic pow.
crs. without which he would not take
over chief command Of the Russian
armies.
A counterrevolution exists, added M
Nekrasoff, and is. growing day by day
Therefore, the restoration of strone
government. he declared, must be i'm.

Drastic Action, Give
Up Fight.

Washington, Feb. 19.-News-print
paper manufacturers, facing criminal
prosecution in United States courts
for alleged combination in restraint OF
trade, proposed to the Federal Trade
Commission Friday that it fix a reason
able price for the output OF the princi-
pal plants of the United States and
Canada. Personal action by Presi-
dent Wilson to restore normal prices
of print paper and special session OF
Congress to pass remedial legislation
confronted the print-paper manufac-
turers, known before they gave up
their fight against the Governments
attempt to restore normal conditions
in the trade.
The presidents intentions were
placed before the manufacturers by
Secretary McAdoo, who told them
that the Administration did not intend
to see an alleged monopoly, through
exortionate prices, place greater re-
