M. Kerensky has formed a now Russian Government, representing Loth

the Socialists and the middle-class parties. The Democratic Conference hold last week in Petrograd failed to arrive at any decision, but its failure induced the party leaders to come to terms.

H. Terestehonko, who is not a Socialist, remains at the Foreign Office, and the new Government' have already announced that they will continue the war along-with the Allies. A Provisional Republican Council of delegates is to act aria makeshift Parliament until • the Constituent Assembly can be eleeted by the Russian people. Dr. Harold Williams, the Daily Chronicle correspondent, warns us that the Anarchists, who rendered the Democratic, Con- ference futile, are still trying to gain control of the State. Until they are definitely repressed, no Russian Government will enjoy any security.
