(P.y United Press.
Washington, Nov. 10. Russia's de
facto government set up by the Maxi
malists was tonight the biggest ques
tion mark in the Russian crisis. Ker
ensky's star was in the decendancy,
even Russian embassy officials admit
ted, while declaring they would nev
er accept the Maximalists authority.
Russia will be allowed to work out
its own destiny by the United States
and the Allies. None will recognize
any new democratic government there
until the atmosphere clears. But
Allied diplomats stated they would
not deal with a Russian government
which clings zo t policy "immedi
ate peace.
He asked every lawyer to volun
teer his services and every doctor to
do the same, in order that free legal
and medical aid bureaus may be es
tablished for thek registrants in con
junction with each local board.
The President estimated that the
classification, which the Provost Mar
shal General announced will begin
throughout the country about. Decem

days.
The questionnaire itself is now in
the mails to the local boards and will
be made public in a few days.
Under its terms the exact physical,
mental, moral, social, commercial and
industrial status of every registrant
will be fixed. It will give the gov

builders, foresters, brick layers, hod
carriers, musicians and every other
type of man power .is at its disposal.
