GOVERNMENT DECLAREES IT 18
NECESSARY TO STRENGTHEN
THE ORGANIZATION.
DKIi STILL MEM
A Cabinet of Five Members, Includ
ing Premier Kerensky, Has Been
Na^ned to- Take Care of All Matters
of State.
A Russian republic has been pro
claimed. The provisional government
under date of September 14 issued a
proclamation declaring that to
strengthen the organization of the
state a change to a republican form
of government was necessary.
Danger still threatens Russia, the
proclamation says, .although the .re
bellion of Qeneral Korniloff has fail
ed. The plan of a Russian republic
has been one of the chief aims of
the radicals and the councils of sol
diers' and workmen's delegates and
wa s _ given approval by the recent
Russian congress at Moscow.
A cabinet of five members, includ
ing Premier Kerensky, has been
named to take care of all matters of
state. .
The only party men are Premier
Kerensky and M. Nikitine, minister
of posts and telegraphs, both of
whom "are social revolutionists. The
others, including the ministers of war
and marine, are the members of no
party.
_ Although the position of the Ke
rensky government appears to be im
proving, the action of the grand coun
cil of the Don Cossacks in refusing to
surrender General Kaledines, their
hetman, is ominous. The leader of
the Cossacks is accused of complicity
in the Korniloff revolt The Cossacks
protest their loyalty to the govern
ment, while Ignoring the govern
ment's request for the giving up of
General Kaledines.

Count Luxburg still is unknown to

The Argentine minister at BerliDj

Strenuous efforts of Representative

The Internal situation in Russia re

M. Kerensky, head of the provisional,
government, or General Korailoff ,the

army, who is opposing Kerensky and
who demands almost dictatorial pow
ers, will be engulfed.
At the present moment neither side
seems willing to make concessions.
Kerensky at the- head of the govern

energy toward the supppression of the
turmoil created by the Korailoff and
tjls followers, while Eorniloff ia T re

is faithful to the Kerensky rgime,

Denlkine, of. the southwestern Rus

that he would give his support to
Korailoff. Official reports are to the
effect tdat Denlkine and: several other

Washington. ? The administration'*
soldiers' and sailors' Insurance bill,
amended so as to equalize the allow
ances of the d?pendents of enlisted
amia tnunaerous appiause.
As the bill went to the aetata, pri
vates and officers and their depend

Benefits and allowances now provided
for are slightly higher than thof-Q
originally proposed as the minimum
for privates by the committees and
considerably lower than the maximum
amounts which officers and thoir de
pendents would have received.
President Wilson scored a personal

an amendment raising from $5,000 to
$10,000 the maximum amount of op

service. The original draft of the
bill carried $10,000, but it wag strick
