(Continued from Page One) began meeting and selecting delegates. Peasants elected their representatives. Other classes of workers elected theirs. These delegates met at the larger cities and named delegates to an all Russia conference at Petrograd, which would represent the voice of that particular class of peo ple. Mrst of these all-Russia conferences to meet was that of the Soldiers and Workmen. It absorbed at once the small local Petrograd council. Then came the peasants' con ferenceliterally of the agrarian party believers. The workmen's party in Russia is literally the party of the peasants, so that before long the all-Russia conference of Workmen and Soldiers began to represent all of Russia an impromptu parliament, sensitive to the fullest degree to every shade of public opinion and the most democratic assemblage in the world. When the big conference ad journed, it left an executive council to represent it. This. .executive council today has become the real Rus sian government. Its supportei-s and representatives dominate on the ministerial board. The ministers them selves are virtually responsible to it. It is a radical body. Its members would class as socialists in the United States. Some of them are even more extreme in their views than socialists. ,; This centralization of power in the people's hands through a people's assembly which will make shift to administer until Russia can call constitutional convention and decide on the exact form of her government, was not achieved without bloodshed. . them. Germany knew the plain Kus sian citizens had always hated Ger many, as much because the Czar and all his ministers were pro-Germans. Therefore when the plain citizens of Russia assumed the power of that nation. Germany grew apprehensive. Never in all the voluminous pages of Germany's record of machination and intrigue will there be recorded sucn a story of propaganda as the Kaiser and his ministers worked on Russia. Pseudo-socialist cajoled and coaxed Russia's true liberals to make a sep arate peace; troops at th front fra ternized under orders; the German so cialist party was. deceived into trying to jockey the Russian party K.em bers into a German ' inspired gather in at Stockholm, under guise of "an international meeting." Thousands of Germany's Bpies wormed their way in to Russia and emboldened by the free dom of thought and of speech permit ted in Russia even went so far as to make speeches in the public streets urging peace, Germany worked on ex iles returning to Russia to aid her in trigue. She had agitators stationed in Petrograd. Sho even sought as sassination of officials who stood in her way. Millions of money must have V hcan nnnrfld into this WOrk. ' V And through it all, Russia survived. On July 1, General Brusiloff started a major offensive, with Minister of War Kerensky personally leading the revived troops of the new nation. They swept forward in Galicia tearing down the Austro-Gorman lines. Ger many was then thoroughly alarmed. She sent reenforcements to this front and she redoubled her efforts to cre ate dissention in Rus&ia itself. Numerous reports seem to indicate conclusively that it was German money that produced the revolt in Petrograd beginning July 8. Adher ents of the notorious Nicholai Lenine, subsequently proved a German agent, with malcontents of sinster purpose, joined in an effort to tear down the slowly building democracy. Once again Petrograd streets were dyed with the blood of those who fell in street fights. But the government survived and began house cleaning of the dis turbing elements. Out of all Russia's chaos there has. apparently risen a Savior of the De. mocracy. He is A. F. Kerensky, bare ly in his thirties, with a frail physique and body racked with illness. He has been named the "Lloyd George of Russia". In methods and in his dy namic energy he closely resembles England's Man of the Hour. He is a socialist; more than that of peasant 4 4 4 4 4 To The Army of Men- win- i ft TToa t.r Shoes We siarnal today. Our dows contain economical suggestions Every article marked in plain figures.
