GREAT PROBLEM IS FACED
jTi'ar Council ' of Co-Belligcrents
About to Assemble In Europe,
Confronted by Russian Debacle
and Italian Reverses.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. Kerensky's
fall and the collapse of his government
In Petrograd into the hands of the
Maximalists, who propose an armistice
to the end of an immediate and just
peace, is regarded here as threaten
ing Russia with the civil war which
all her friends hoped to see avoided.
The State Department, entirel- with
out official advices, was silent, wishing
to avoid making any statements until
the situation could be accurately as
sessed on the basis of intimate reports
from Ambassador Francis at Petrograd.
The Russian Embassy, too, preferred
not to make a statement until later
and until after there has been oppor
tunity for communication with Ambas
sador Bakhmeteff, who was traveling
in the South.
The embassies of the entente allies,
realizing that the development means
first of all probably a rearrangement of
their war plans, were shocked but not
disheartened at what is considered a
triumph of insidious German propa
ganda. New Government at Moscow
The general opinion here among those
in position to be best informed of Rus
sian affairs is that Kerensky and his
followers probably will at once set up
a new government at Moscow, leaving
Petrograd to the Maximalists and those
troops who adhere to them. An armed
clash is counted among the first prob
abilities, but it is said here that the
greater part of the army is expected
to remain loyal to the Kerensky gov
ernment. Whether the new revolt will go the
Quick way of the Kornlloff rebellion,
no one here ventures to predict, the
realization is that it is infinitely more
serious. The outcome, and Russia's
part in the next years of the war,
while she recovers her fighting power,
no one here assumes to contemplate at
this time.
The war council of the co-belligerents.
Just about to assemble in Europe
to arrange policies of co-ordination of
fighting forces, is now faced with a
new and great problem at its very out
set. Coming close on the Italian re
verses, the Russian debacle brings the
allies, including the United States, face
to face with action to rearrange their
fighting power to deal with the heavi
est possible blows on the battle fronts
while Russia works out her part and
destiny in the great struggle for world
freedom and Italy holds back the in
vader pouring through the Alps.
The immediate effect upon the part
which the United States must take, as
the shifting of world events turns the
burdens of war more and more to the
American people, cannot be assessed
accurately at this time. The treasury)
already has authorized credits of $325.
000,000 to Russia, and of that sum prob
ably half already has been drawn upon
for supplies' bought in this country.
There has been some disappointment
among American officials that some of
the money was used for needs of the
civilian population and not devoted
wholly to war purposes, but in Russia's
critical position consideration of the
economic crisis there has permitted the
expenditures to go on practically un
limited. . American! Aid Freely Given.
American aid has not been limited
merely to money, and the confidence
of the government in Kerensky and his
adherents has freely and frequently
been expressed. The visit of the Amer
ican mission' headed by Elihu Root is
fresh in the public memory. Every
member, and Mr. Root in particular,
returned optimistic and confident of
Russia's future.
An American commission of eminent
railroad men now is there bringing
order out of chaos on Russia's transpor
tation systems, and already has In
creased efficiency in some directions
at least 60 per cent. Meanwhile mil
lions of dollars" worth of supplies have
been piling up at Vladivostok and the
Americans have been applying the best
of methods to move them across Si
beria. Japan, at the same time, has been
supplying aid to Russia in practically
every way, principally in war muni
tions, for which the Russian govern
ment has been able to pay practically
nothing at all as yet.
A factor in the situation which has
been reluctantly discussed heretofore,
now comes to the front. It is the pos
sibility that Japan might send troops
into Russia to support the provisional
government, help restore order and
drive the revolting factions up to the
firing line. No one here who would
be authorized to speak on the subject,
cares to do so, although It has been
discussed by Japanese elsewhere, and
the consensus of their opinions, as pub
lished, has been that Japan would find
some difficulties in supplying an army
sent into Russia. Moreover, the argu
ment has been advanced that Japan's
forces were needed to preserve order
in the Far East.
Some idea of what Russia faces on
her firing lines may be gained from the
FIGHTING FOR HAPPINESS
When you get into a frame of mind
that makes life seem one tiresome
duty after another, with no pleasure
in it; when ill health seems to take all
the Joy out of life and you worry over
things that are not really worth wor
rying about, then your nervous sys
tem is becoming exhaused and you are
approaching neurasthenia.
Your happiness is worth fighting for
and red blood is your best ally. It Is
a hopeless task to try to restore your
health while your blood is deficient in
Quantity or quality.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 8. "The intent

Petrograd." declared Boris A. Bakhme

States, when shown Associated Pres,
dispatches relative to the reported over-

ernment. "Until just now I did not have any
personal or official information on the
subject," said Mr. Bakhmeteff, "and
therefore you cannot expect any offi

"But I can tell you that Petrograd
is not the whole of Russia and never
has been, and that the spirit prevailing
in Petrograd is not representative of
the Russian spirit as a whole.

regarded as matters impossible of set
tlement. Count von Hertling is re
ported to have succumbed to military

The Socialists declare that they have
no confidence In an administration
made up of Conservative, Centrum and
Nationalist elements imposed on a sab
structure of old-line bureaucrats, and
will remain in opposition unless the
desired places are given to the radi
cals, whom the Socialists regard as
their representatives in the ministry.
The Tageblatt and other radical
newspapers say that if Chancellor von
Hertling bows to the "hidden powers"
and the influence of the court clique
the opposition will introduce on Novem

a resolution of lack of confidence In

MAXIMALISTS CONTROL XEWS
London Points Out Petrograd Garri
son Is Not Russian Array.
LONDON, Nov. 8. Chancellor Andrew
Bonar Law informed the House of
Commons this afternoon that the gov
ernment! had no news of the latest de
velopments in Russia. The Russian
embassy also was without advices. The
only news of the deposition of the
Kerensky government thus far has
been received from the Russian wire
less and the semi-official Petrograd
news agency, both of which now are
controlled by the Maximalists.
It is considered possible that the
now stands is accepted, is held over the
progressive democratic elements in
Germany.

chancellorship is in danger of im
