KERENSKY TO AMERICA.
Visit Hero Announced by Russian
Leader Iii London.

Washington, June 26.---The unher-
aided appearance In London today
OF Alexander Kerensky, former pro-
visioual premier Of Russia, together
with his announcement that he Is on
his way to America and that he is
certain Russia soon will be fighting
again with the forces OF democracy
against German domination, furnish
ed the subject for a discussion in OFF,
cial and diplomatic circles that COW
cred a wide range. AS there appar
emily had been no intimation Of Ke-
rensky's intended visit to this coun-
try, speculation naturally centered
around his purposes in his coming.
The belief seems to be genral that he
not only will seek to enlist the sup
port Of his own people in this coun
try in his efforts to rchabilitate Rus
sia and cast off the German yoke, but
will discuss the subject with the Off
cals as we'll.
Ear Reaching Importance.
Appearing as he does at time
when both the United States and the
entente governments are earnestly
considering how they may best aid
Russia to rid herself Of German in
auence and establish stable gov
ernment, the visit Of the one-time die
tator Of that stricken nation is re-
garded by officials as having many
and far reaching possibilities.
Coincident with the appearance Of
Kerensky in London, John Sookinc n
member OF the Russian commission
sent to the United States by the Ke-
rensky government year ago. and
now just back from France, an
nounccd to-day he had learned from
intimate reports from Russia that
the people would welcome military
action Of the allies to overcome Ger
man domination
Tired Of Germans.
A year ago Mr.. SOokine said this
action would have been intolerable
to the people, but German aggres-
sion, in spite Of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty had caused SO much suffering
and privation that allied intervention
would be hailed with relief.
Mr.. Sookine's statement and that
Of former Premier Kerensky con-
cerning the change in sentiment Of
the Russian masses serve to bear out
reports received at the State Depart
ment. 1t Is known that for .some
f,,I
cring within Russia itself, to restore
order and establish a government in
accord with the entente governments.
1t developed to-day that Kerensky
actually has been in Russia part OF
the period OF eight months since his
government was overthrown by the
Bolsheviki. he is understood to have
been hiding in Moscow and in the
Caucasus, directing his agents in
combating the spread Of German in
fiuence.
Seeks Aid of Allies.
London. June 2G.--AlcXander Ke-
rcnsky, former provisional premier
OF Russia, has arrived in London, on
his way to America.

81 believe, indeed | am CERTAIN"
added the former premier, chat the
Russian people will shortly join you
in the fight for the great cause Of
freedom "
Causes Surprise.
Kerensky's appearance before the
laborites was complete surprise.
When Arthur Henderson, minister
without portfolio in the British coun-
Gil. and former labor leader in the
House OF Parliament, introduced
him, he spoke in Russian and his re-
marks were interpreted to the as
semblage. He began with an express
sion of thanks. saying:
II am very much impressed by the
reception accorded me. do not take
it as an expression Of sympathy to-
ward me. 1t is an expression Of sym
pathy toward Russian democracy,
which is fighting for the ideals dear
to us all
