In the larger towns full compsnies of 133 men have been formed, the organization comprising leaders and 125 men. A squad eight men is the unit, each platoon for four following military lines, be responsible for more than four men, which is an especialls good arrangement if everybody is to be reached quickly over the telephone. Every squad leader would have an as- sistant, who would be responsible for the other three. By providiig tw automoblles for each squad the ques tions of assembly and mobility,would be_simple. In_case an organization is formed in Wosterly the special police con- stables, some 30 in number, would be asked to join the organization with the mhr police officers and all receive tary training. —e Information has been received by the committee in charge of the evang- elistic campaign _from Dr. Milton 8.

On Sunday the committee which had met to discuss the foqd situation was partly transformed into a provisional government under the presidency of President. Rodzianko of the Duma, and included representatives of the Duma, council of the empire and of the municipality. The garrison agreed to support the provisional govern- ment.” Reuter’s Petrograd _correspondent sends the following despatch concern- ing the Russian revolution under date of March 14: “Your correspondent had been In the streets both night and day for the last three days. He has seen long lines of hungry men, women and-chil- dren, and has seen the wanton firing of rifles, machine guns and civil war in the main thoroughfares, but has not heard a single word against war. “A shortage of food, the lack of or- ganization and the neglect of the most elementary precautions are popularly ascribed to German influences. This is a word of provocation on every lip. With combined fervor warriors, relig- onaries, all Russians—resolved on the extermination of these influences. “The killing of Rasputin' was the match that set fire to the vast heap of patriotic determination that Rus- sia would deserve well of her allies if she would give herself the chance. The fire quickly spread, ran from class to class, from civilians to troops. It smouldered in Petrograd on Saturday, burst into flame on Sunday and to a conflagration yesterday. This morn- ing your correspondent hears that its purpose has been achieved. All of the regiments in Petrograd have declared for the Duma and the people, and the naval baracks have been opened to en- able sailors to make comon cause. BRITISH NOT SURPRISED AT RUSSIAN REVOLUTION Had Previous Knowledge of Struggle Between Duma and the Reactionary Party. London, March 15, 6:55 p. m.—News of the Russian reyolution reached Lon- don too late for the evening papers, but it will not begaltogether a surprise to the public. The sudden closing down of the Duma and the council of the empire in _Petrograd, news of which reached London on Sunday. to- gether with news.of food riots in tho Russian capital, caused considerablo susplcion here. ‘The proclamation by the military governor in Petrograd forbidding any street ‘assemblages’ and declaring that any disorders would be ruthlessly al- lowed indicated that affairs were graver than was shown by the des- patches allowed by the Russian cen- orship. Then came two days of ab- solute silence from Petrograd, which extended even to official war bulletins and from the Scandinavian capitals rumors began to circulate that a rev- olution was taking place. These re- ports were declared to be groundless, but suspicion remained. The struggle between the Duma and he reactionary party in Russia has been known to be proceeding with great bitterness for a long time, and repeated changes in the ministerial ranks showed that matters were far from settled. Little was permitted to appear in the English papers, but from time to time news percolated from different quarters as to how liberal Russia was struggling against pro- German. influence in the persons of Sturmer, Protopopoff and other high personages. The assassination of Rasputin also showed to what lengths the struggle was proceeding: The disapearance of this notorious per- sonage, however, appeared to leave the German reactionary influences _still exceedingly strong in the high places.
