Petrograd, May 18.—Generals Brus- siloff and Gurko have withdrawn thoir resignations ,and reports of further resignations are refuted by the definite amouncement that all the comman- ders have decided to remain at their posts, “ 1. General Alexieff, commander in chief .of the Russian armies, said: “The whole gist of the new-idea re- forms cannot be properly understood by the army, add this has brought about dangerous results, We can overcome the consequent loss of au- thority if irresponsible persons and ganizations will cease further to in- terfere with our work. “I feel assured that, under the new coalitfon government, it will be pos- sible to conduct military affairs in a more energetic' manner. It is time to wake .up and stép shouting ‘Peace Wwithout annexatians.’ Let us leave peace negotiations to the government.” Discussing the temporary govern- ment thé serious condition of affairs at the front, the commanders declared that the unfortunate phrase ‘“Peace without annexations” had found\ its way to the army ,and was there trans- lated into an argument against offen- sive warfare. This and other harm- ful doctrines pervading the army and the inability of the officers satisfac- torily to éxplain them had ruined dis- cipline and destroyed the authority and prestige of the officers, The dis- cord in Petrograd had naturally found an echo everywhere at the front, but the spirit. of the saldiers. was slowly recavering, and the power of the Rus- #fan army was by no means lost, 'RADIO OPERATORS NEEDED.
