London, Aug. 16.-"Military aid for
the Czecho- Slovaks and "A joint mani
festo TO the Russian people by the al
lies assuring absolute disnterested-
ness is the best move to bring Russia
back into the war effectively" today
declared DR.. Jacob o. Gavronsky, for
merly Kerensky's commissioner and
now here. Gavronsky is credited with
being closer to Kerensky and knowing
more of the former revolutionary
prime minister of Russia than any
other man in London.
.Kerenslky is here in retirement until
he determines whether he should go to
America or return to Russia" said
Gavronsky.
England has officially promised
troops entering Russia are being sent
to assist Russia against Germany, but
we will not retain one foot OF your
territory
IN that spirit should be made the
formal declaration of all the allies.
"The Russian people have never be-
lieved they are out of the war because
of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty. The
Russians believe that they continue In
a state of war with Germany and that
all treaty obligations with the allies
at Brest- I.itovskH
"The allies should send military help
to the eastern front as well rs the
western theater of war wht re the
French, British and Americans are CO.
operating.
Russia may mean defeat or victory
for the allies There can be no allied
victory on the western front alone.
The allies must win everywhere IN
this great world struggle. ......,.. I.
lowing to the impossibfe interna-
tional situation, the conditions In Rus-
sia are unbearable. The man on tho
street feels that he must rid himself
and Russia of the unbearable tyranny
of the bolsheviki, and he will very
likely be influenced by anybody's
promise to rid him of the bolsheviki.
'Tf no joint manifesto guaranteeing
military and economic help and the
allies disinterestednes Is issued. Ger
many will make very good use OF the
circumstances to persuade the Russian |
people that II not one ally then another
of the allies will want to get some
thing out of the offer to help Russia.
THE renewal Of the fight against |
Germany already is started and under |
way. Necessarily it has taken some |
what unusual forms. The task Is to
intensity that campaign and 10 reor- I.
ganize so In Russia that Germany will
be compelled to draw to the east some
of her fighting strength in the west
and so facilitate the task OF the allies
on the western front. For every unit
at the DISPOSAL of the Russian parti-
sans the Germans must have several
fighting units, for they can never know |
from what point the Russians may |
strike.
1.-THE Germans and Austrians. even |
with 100000 soldiers in Russia. are not
certain to succeed in getting the crops |
the seizure of which is being so strong !
Iy resisted by the peasants"

operative movement and formerly hold
ing leading positions in the provisional
government.
'T say temporary" declared Gavro"-
sky "because all roaliZe that in tho
future Russia will hc n federated re-
nublic comprising all territory of the
former empire.
"There is. however. serious dnnger
from the rcactioraries. They all nre

Discussing nrohnble develorments IN
tho near future. Mr.. Gavrorskv sn'd:

But" and Gavronskv became vcrv
emphatic. "Russ'nns win mover acuui-
'sce in cermnr domination or restora-
tion of the old regime.
"There nro only two nossihi'tes for
Russia. Either mornrchv and vcrv
