ind local institutions prepared to
cope with the situation, it was
learned from officials of the gov

banks last night.
Banking institutions have taken
every precaution to guard against
a surprise attack. =.
1t Is no longer the custom to send
runners on a mission with large
sums of money without an escort
of picked men. In many instances
the guard Is composed of members
of the banks staff who have seen
service in the late war.
Methods to protect the tellers
have been worked out In detail
and embody the latest devices for
the use of banks in frustrating at
tempts at robbery. As the effec-
tiveness of these devices depends
largely upon their secrecy. officials
prefer not to divulge their char
acter.
Several watchmtn are now en-
ployed, and burglar alarms have
been brought to a high degree OF
efficiency.
Marines Guard Mails.
The mails are being guarded by
the Marines, who since their as
signment to that task have pre-
vented any loss to the government
through robbery of mail trains, and
1t is understood that special guards
have been assigned to accompany
government paymasters to and

Soviet Rule Nearing
End, Says Miluikov
Leader of Constitutional Demo
Gratis Arrives Here to Watch
the Arms Conference

The overthrow of the Bolshevik re-
gime in Russia as the direct result of
its unfltness to rule "is a matter of
months" according to DR.. Paul N.
Miliukov, former leader of the Con-
stitutional Democrats in Russia, and
member Of the executive committee
Of the exiled Constituent Assembly,
who arrived in this country from Paris
yesterday, with DR.. Nicolas Auzentieff
to represent Russia in an unofficial
capacity at the Conference on the Linn
itation of Armament.
The Bolshevik government. DR.. Miliu-
kov declares, no longer has the sup
port of any party in Russia, and is a
machine which is existing only through
its own defensive power. Revolts are
constant in the country, two being in
operation at the present time. These
uprisings, while not being of sufficient
size to attract attention in America,
are Indicative of the approaching end.
The great famine, which the doctor
asserts is direct result of Bolshevik
misrule, will hasten this end of the
present rule
The government, DR.. Miliukov predicts,
probably will not be overturned by ac-
tual revolution, but by conditions and
opposition which will force the pres
ent leaders out, and a Soviet system,
he believes, will continue for some
time
