while the Maximalists were under the
leadership Of his chief lieutenant.
Leon Trotzky. whose home was in the
United States when the revolution
broke out but who sailed for Russia
shortly afterward. He was one Of the
leaders in the 1905 revolution. Tho
strength of the Maximalists has lain
IN the support which they obtained
from the military. chiefly in the Pc
trograd garrison, among which. they
have been able to work with little
interference from their government.
They had failed. however, to impress
their policies upon Russia as whole,
as has been shown by the manner in
which they were outvoted TN the ALL
Russian congress and the minority
part played in the organization of the
preliminary parliament, in which they
refused to participate after they were
shown to be outnumbered.
Nevertheless their influence -l1pon
Russia's policy, both internal and ex-
ternal has been marked because of

wars Most serious Move.

Wars Most SERIOUS Move.
The present situation seems by far
the most serious that has presented
itself, overshadowing in its potentiali-
ties all the other movements of the
moment in connection with the great
war.
The threat to the western entente
powers and their allies involved in the
coup d'etat in Petrograd lies in the
announcement by the Petrograd
Maximalists that they propose mov-
ing for an immediate peace.
Danger of civil war is also seen in
the pronouncement Of the radicals
against elements in the army that do
not bow to the new regime, and dec
laration Of forceful measures against
tho propertied classes.
Il remains to be seen, however, how
far the Petrograd radicals will be
backed up in their movement by the
Russian democracy throughout tho
nation. SO far there Sis no hint as to
what measure of support they may
expect outside Of Petrograd.
An Exchange Telegraph Dispatch
from Petrograd says strong detach-
ments of troops Of the soldiers and
workmen's delegates occupied the
Baltic railway station and that the
government commandeered all motor
cars. confining the troops to the bar
racks.
A wireless dispatch from Petrograd
says that the council of soldiers and
workmen's delegates has announced
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-11-08

that the split in the council has been
healed and that q call has been sent
out for a delegate from each $4,000
of tho population to express the will
of the Russian army.
Kerensky Deposed.
A proclamation sent out through
the wireless stations of the Russian
government today, and picked up
here. states that the garrison and
proletariat of Petrograd have deposed
the kerensky government.
It has been indicated for some time
past that an attempt was to be made
by the Maximalists in Petrograd to
seize control of the capital. Noveyn-
ber 2 was the date originally set for
an extremist demonstration which
was expected by its promoters to re-
suit in the taking over of power by
this element. A postponement to an
unannounced date was afterward de-
cided upon.- however.
The Maximalist, or Bolsheviki ele-
ment, comprises the most extreme
class Of the Russian revolutionary So
cialists. It first sprang into prom
inence in the early days of the revo-
luton under the leadership of Nikolai
Lenine, the radical agitator. who lat
er was put under the ban of the pro-
visional government. because Of his
ultra-radical preachments and his
suspected pro-German leanings He
is known to have been in Petrograd
for some time past. however. but a
government order for his arrest failed
