UNDIVIDED LOYALTY
VICTORIOUS RUSSIAN GENERAL WHO IS MADE COMMANDER-IN
CHIEF OF ARMY ON SOUTHWESTERN FRONT.
Proclamation Points Out
Losses Due to Treachery
ancl Blind Fanaticism.
FIRM ACTION PROMISED
Autonomy for Cities; Direct,
Equal, Universal Suffrage
Throughout Country Are
Chief Internal Policies.
PETROGRAD, July 22. The pro
visional government has Issued a proc
lamation to the nation setting forth the
seriousness of the situation, declaring
that Its first duty In to apply its whole
strength against the foreign foe and in
defense of the administration against
anarchical and counter revolutionary
attempts, and outlining important re
forms throughout the country. The
proclamation reads:
"Citizens: The fateful hour has
struck. The German Emperor's armies
have broken the front of the national
revolutionary army. This terrible op
eration has been facilitated by tlje
criminal levity and blind fanaticism of
some and the treachery of others.
At this fateful moment when, tak
ing advantage of the general confu
sion, the hidden forces- of counter
revolution can raise their heads, the
remodeled provisional government
clearly realizes its heavy responsi
bility. It possesses, however, full and
firm confidence in the strength of the
great Russian people and in the rapid
recuperation of the life politic, now
that the contagion, which has shaken
the National organism, has manifested
itself and burned itself out In an
acute crisis.
Enercetle Action Promised.
"The Government firmly believes
that the crisis will lead to recovery,
not death. Strong in that belief, the
government is ready to act with the
energy and resolution the exceptional
conditions demand. The government
retards as Its first capital task the
anDlication of its whole strength to
the struggle against the foreign foe
and to the defense of the new govern
mental regime against every anarchical
and counter-revolutionary attempt,
without hesitating to take the most
riE-orous measures In Its power. At
the same time the government relter
ates that not a drop of blood of a
Russian soldier shall be shed for any
foreign end, as already proclaimed to
thn whole world.
The proclamation proceeds to state
that by the declaration of May 19 the
government intends to summon the en
tente allies to a conference in August
to decide upon a general orientation
of the allies' policy and to co-ordinate
their actions with regard to the appli
cation of the principles proclaimed by
the Russian revolution. At this con
ference Russia will be represented. In
addition to diplomats, by representa
tives of the Russian democracy.
Assembly to Meet In September. '
"The government," continues the
proclamation, "considers it indispen
sable immedia.ely to proceed with a
series of measures rutting the princi
ples announce, on May IS into opera
tion, anc". adheres to the steps already
taken to convene a constituent assem
bly, on September 30. The speediest
introduction of autonomy for munici
palities and zemstovs, based on direct,
equal, secret, univers-l suffrage and the
extension of this principle to the en
tire country is the government's chief
problem in internal polic .
"Attributing at the Bame time par
ticular importance to the creation of
local executive bodies enjoying the
confidence of the entire population, the
government will forthwith proceed with
the organization of such authorities
and will also, at an early date, promul
gate a decree abolishing classes and
ranks of officials and decorations, ex
cept those for great military deeds."

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
PRANCE, July 22. A large group of
American officers left today for French
and British military schools to undergo
a lengthy course of training in modern
warfare. When the course is com
pleted, other officers will take their
places, and later non-commissioned of
ficers will have the same opportunity.
The General in command of the camp
refused to relax on Sunday from his
strenuous daily programme, and made
another inspection trip.
The chaplains wltr, the American
troops began their Sabbath duties early
today, and by 7 o'clock most of them
were in automobiles which carried them
from one encampment to another. They
spoke briefly to the men, delivering
no sermons in the customary sense of
the word, but talking to and with the
soldiers. The substance of their talks
was an admonition to the men to re
member they were engaged in a man's
game, not a child s, and to act accord
ingiy.
More than one chaplain paid high
compliments to the soldiers for their
manly bearing and urged continuance
of the attitude which has permitted the
men to settle down In the community
witnout the slightest friction and with
out any of the evils which sometimes
occur in such circumstances.
The services today, which were the
first since the arrival of the troops,
were undenominational In the main.
Soldiers of the Catholic faith not only
attended the chaplains' talks but in
many instances went to the small Cath
olic Churches that dot this section of
France. It was a day of rest for the
men, who were relieved of their drill
ing and long hikes. In the afternoon
there was a basketball game. Thou
sands utilized the opportunity to write
home, and the officers who act as cen
sors had anything but relaxation.

spondents is expected to arrive tomor
