Meantime Mean-time we have reason to helieve that tne revolt was du to a misundifrstatKlinK with KornllorTs emissary to Kert-nsky, Vladimir J,voff. who has not the reputation reputa-tion of beinsr a respectable man." The newiy completed cahinet a?n!n Is a mltin pot. The newspapers report that representatives of the Social - Democrats and the Social -Revolutionists vie! ted Premier Keren sky and announced their nartles would withdraw If the Constitutional Constitu-tional Democrats were taken back Into the ministry. J The story of the visit is not true, but M. Soskice, secretary to Premier Keren-sky, Keren-sky, who Is a member of the council of the' Soi-ial-Revolnttonlst party, informed the Associated Press that the difficulty actuallv has arisen. Yesterday committees of both parties drew up Identical resolutions resolu-tions declaring it would be impossible to col In bora te with Premier Kerensky if Constitutional Democrats were made ministers, min-isters, but otlng on the resolutions has been postponed until this evening and there is every hope of an agreement. Must Leave Party. Both parties accept the 'principle of a coalition cabinet and have no objection to Constitutional Democrats becoming ministers on condition that they immediately imme-diately leave that party. The grounds for this decision Js the view of the parties par-ties that the Constitutional Democrats as a whole, although there is no evidence of their complicity In the rebellion and In the demonstrations at Moscow, sided with and encouraged General Kornlloff. The parties further demand the convocation convoca-tion of a new congress on the lines of that held In Moscow, from which, however, how-ever, tli e members of all four dumas would be excluded. It Is suggested that the congress meet not later than September Septem-ber 23 and sit until the meeting of the constituent assembly. Secretary Soskice added that Premier Kerensky now Is in excellent health, despite de-spite the fact that throughout the recent crisis he has worked eighteen hours daily. Army Alone Can Save. Judging from Hie tone of press com7 ments, party and individual expressions of opinions . which are raining in the Kornlloff episode has had the effect of quickening interest in the war and convincing con-vincing the public that only a well -disciplined army, with a vigorous fighting programme, can save Russia. General Palchinsky, the new commander of the troops in the Petrograd district, in an interview assures the public that the revolt re-volt "has had not the slightest unfavorable unfavor-able Influence on the fighting capacity of our troops." Telegrams from the front announce that the spirit of the soldiers Is good, while an official dispatch refers to the devoted braverv displayed by the soldiers fighting at Okla. It Is stated that the revolting troops everywhere are returning to their positions. General Stcherbatcheff, the commander on the Rumanian front, has issued a stirring stir-ring appeal, declaring that it is the supreme su-preme duty of the soldiers to defend the fatherland' against the foreign foe. |
