The Russian kaleidoscope has been roughly shaken stoke On Thursday
week M. Kerensky, despairing of his efforts to Tome to terms with the Moderate parties, announced his intention to resign. The Provisional Government then called a Conference of all parties, which met on Friday week and, after sitting all night, came to an agreement. All parties concurred in regarding M. Kerensky as-the indispensable Premier, and he therefore withdrew his resignation: The Socialists required that he should uphold their general policy, and the Cadets insisted that he should have entire liberty 'of action and not be controlled by the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates. On these conditions he resumed office and formed a Coalition Ministry, in which all the Revolutionary parties are represented. The now Ministers have to restore order out of chaos, while General Komiloff at the front is struggling to reshape his beaten and mutinous armies.
