Allies, He Says at British
Labor Conference
EXP Premier Hopes
To Get Help Here
He Declares His People Are
Fighting Tyranny; Hiding
Since November


ensky, former Premier of the Russian
Provisional government, who fled in
disguise and disappeared after the Boil
shevik uprising last November, came
suddenly to light to-day in dramatic
appearance before the British labor
conference.
Announcing that the Russian peo-
pie were still fighting against tyranny,
he declared that they would shortly
rejoin the Allies in the fight for the
great cause of freedom.
Coming to England for conferences
with prominent Russians over the me-
cessity of Allied assistance in Russia,
Kerensky has been busy since his ar
rival in meeting a few of his country
men. His health is said to be bad.
Kerensky reached London four days
ago, after remarkable escape from
Russia, where he had been living in re-
retirement. Few persons in London
were aware of his arrival, aside from
the British government, which through
the present strict passport regulation
has knowledge of the entry of all
aliens.
Expects to Come to America
kerensky expects to go to America
IN week or ten days.
kerensky was introduced to the
British Labor Conference here this
afternoon and was received by the
delegates with loud cheers.
Kerenskys appearance before the
laborites was complete surprise.

without portfolio in the British War
Council. and former labor leader in the
House of Parliament, introduced him.
he spoke IN Russian. His remarks
were interpreted to the assemblage.
He began with an expression of thanks.

II am very much impressed by the
reception accorded me. l do not take
it as an expression of sympathy toward
me. 1t is an expression of Sympathy

delegates:

and Socialist to tell you and the peo-

Although Kerensky's evasion of +he
ponce agents of his own country was
facilitated by mustache and a long
beard, which he grew in his lone
months of hiding, he did not think
this sufficient to disguise himself, and
added the dress of a soldier servant.
"A friend procured for him the pass and
other papers of an orderly, and finally
ne began to move more publicly about
the streets of Moscow. Finally he
rlsked passage on the railway and got
out of the country.
One man with whom he has con-
ferred much since his arrival here is
M. Stachovich, his own appointee as
Ambassador to Spain. who was sum
moned to London a few days before
kerensky's arrival. His chief object
IN going to Paris is to confer with M.
Maklakof, the Russian Ambassador
there, who is reported to be favorable
to the growing sentiment of Allied in
tervention. M. Stachovich is one of
those who signed the communication
appealing to President Wilson for in
tervention in Russia.
At the conclusion of Kerensky's
speech there were scenes of consider
able disorder. One delegate asked the
reason for kerensky's appearance and
whom he represented. The chairman
replied that he was not in the conf,
dence of kerensky and did not know
whom he represented.

here, why not Troelstra 2" referring tn

such a question in the presence of "a
