fiL Kerensky has succeeded Prince Lvoff as Prime Minister of
Russia, and the eyes of-friend-sad foe alike are fixedon this brilliant and energetic figure to see whether he can save his country. There were differences-of -opinion between Prince Lvoff and the Socialist members of the tlovernment as to whether Russia could properly be proclaimed a Republic before the meeting of the Constituent Assembly, hut the gild point of difference had reference to the land. Prince Lye& could not accept the Socialists' agrarian policy. Mr. Henderson, who returned from Russia on Tuesday, said that it was a- misfortune that the Coalition Government could not last. In his opinion, the extremists in Petrograd represent only a small minority of the population, and yet they hadeneceeded-in creating such anima- of terror that good and stable government was rendered "difficult; if not almost impassible."
