them with Iemlne. In at Jeast one

The objective of the Germans, to obtain

the famous guard regiments were
taken. From them It was learned
that the attack had been arranged
several davs previously, but the
erman crown prince decided to
await the arrival of special units of
shock troops before making the as

only point along the whole line ol
attack from Craonne to Hurtebi at

The government is determined, as a
needful war measure, to push the corn

fore parliament rises for the su aimer
recess. The bill which proposes to
pay fixed prices to farmers for eereal
crops for a number of years after the

Is meeting with strong opposition in
the house - of commons, especially
from members of the Asquith party.
The bill proposes to pay farm laborers
a minimum wags c twenty-flve
shilliags weekly.
The opponents of the bill contend
that reckoned by the present high
cost of living, Uiis is an adequate wage
and their strong support of the
amendment presented by George J.
Wardle last week, making thirty
shillings the minimum, threatened
the government with the prospect of

PETROORAD. July !l An au
thorised statement announces that a
partial solution of the ministerial
crisis wa reached at a ministerial
council held Sunday morning and con
Arms that the principal reason of
Prince LvofTe resignation from the
premiership, wa the agrarian policy,
on which an Irreconcilable difference
arose between the premier and th
socialist minister, especially the mln
lster of agriculture. The statement
adds:
"It waa established that th
divergence of opinion -3 to tha ad
vlsablllty of issuing a proclamation
declaring Russia a repobllo arose
principally from the fact that cer
tain members of the o&bmet believed
It necessary to publish immediately
an edict proclaiming a republic,
which while the declaration now be
ing drawn up on the subject repre
sent a parliamentary measure with a
new to promulgation by a constituent
assembly of an act establishing a re
public and in no way infringe on the
prerogatives of that assembly.
"All the remaining member ara
agreed on thla subject and also on tha

cult moment when our front is
broken for raising questions such as
whether the duma and the council of
state should be dissolved -questions
which ara'ualmportint from the vlewr
point of the government' activity."
The statement confirms the minis
