Revolutionary Committee Calls
Entire Army to Revolt
WASHINGTON, Match IS.
The State Department thi afternoon received cablegrams from
I'ct'roKiad substantiating in general terms the Hcrlin report or a
Russian revolution. The department's information indicates that
the Duma is in contiol or the situation, but the message does not
show whether the uprising is general throughout the country or
confmed to Petrograd alone.
UL-RLIN, March 13.
An executive committee of the Russian Duma has accomplished
a successful revolution in Russia, imprisoned all the Ministers and
now controls the Government, according to "an official statement
from Petrograd," issued by the official press bureau loday.
"The Duma declared that the Ministers and the Cabinet do no
longer 'fist," the tatement said. "Today (the statement was dated
March 1,1), on the third day of the revolution, where o'rder has
returned swiftly, the capital is completely in the hands of the execu
tive committee of the Duma and of troops which are garrisoned in
Petrograd and which number more than 30,000, all of which support
the revolution. . v
"D.puty Engelhard, colonel of the General Staff, has been
appointed commander of Petrograd by the committee.
"Yesterday evening the committee issued a proclamation to the
population and to the troops, railroads and banks, asking them tor
rosume-their regular life. Deputy Gronski was charged by the com
mittee provisionally to manage the Petrograd telegraphic agency."
Tte statement issued by the official Government press bureau
pegan: ., w . .,.wv-y.
"About the successful Russian revolution, the following official
reportvas issued from Petrograd March 14:
"The population of Petrograd, incensed by complete disorgani
zation of transport services and of alimentation, had long been irri
tated against the Government and had become restless. The popula
tion held the Government responsible for all its sufferings. The Gov
ernment, expecting trouble, took measures on a large scale to
maintain order, and among other measures ordered dissolution of
the Council of the Empire and the Duma. The Duma, however, on
March Undecided not to accept the imperial ukase, but to continue
meetings. The Duma immediately instituted! an executive commit
tee presided over by President Rodzianko.
"That committee declared itself as a, provisional Government
and issued the following appeal:
Considering the difficulties of interior order which we
owe to the policy of the former Government, the executive
committee of the Duma feels obliged to take public order
in its own hands. " vully conscious of the responsibility
arising from this decision, the committee expresses the cer
tainty that the population and the army will lend their
assistance for the difficult task and create a new Govern
ment which accepts the wishes of the people and enjoys
the people's confidence.
"The executive committee based itself upon the population of
the capita, which is in full revolution, and upon the army, completely
united with the revolutionists, and arrested all Ministers and 'sent
them to jail."
ARMED FORCES AIDED DUMA REVOLT;
CZAR MAY ABDICATE IN SON'S FAVOR
s .
LONDON, March 1C.
Revolution has succeeded in Russia. The Czar may abdicate.
The Duma and the army or at least powerful elements in both groups
have overthrown tho Government. '
Their object was to drive out of power forever the pro-German officials who
since the start of the war have been reported as hindering Russia's fulL par
ticipation vyth the Entente against Germany.
Three days of intermittent fighting preceded assumption of full control by
tho revolutionists. i
' CLASHES IN CAPITAL
The Drincipal clashes occurred in
Armed-forces were repeatedly in encounters. Many houses were burned in
each city during th? fighting.
'' Dispatches from tho Russian capital today said tho Cza,'s Ministers had
been captured, including Premier Stunner and Minister of tho Interior Pro
topopoff.. These two were later released.
Dispatches late today from Petrograd emphasized that the revolution was
n nwninut the ruling dynasty. Rather, it represented tho army's de-
, terminatidn, coupled with that of the
Russia's military success, ihoae, impediments, n was, assumeu, were tne pro
German elements in Russia's bureaucracy. ,
jTho Petrograd, advices made it plain that pro-Germunism among Russian
officialdom, -was stf.rampant that the Russianrpeoplo believed -it responsible for
hindering Itussia's successful prosecution of .the war . ',
The-provisional government, it was fcjaid, had established governmental com
mittees at Petrograd and Moscow. , i, ' ,'
That the revolution has been successful was Indicated in the establishment
of these provisional governmental branches alt the two largest Russian cities.
Advlce3 from tho. capital Indicate severe fighting may have -attended the over
throw of Itussisin absolutism. Tho Bridge over the river at Petrograd was
reported to have been blown up.

I'nlted States marines, according to a report
trd.iy, during fight on tho deck of th

The story, which was denied nt the navy

ofllco would not discuss, runs as follows:
Marines in tho guard tent at the entrance
to thn "Herman vll'age" area In tho nay
yard noticed flashes of light on the rear
deck of tho Kronprlnz Wllhclm about 8:30
o'clock Inst night. Two marines were sent
about d to Investigate. Tbey boarded the
Prlnz Kltel Krlcdrlch. which Is moored
alongside the dock, and crossed a gangplank
leading to tho deck nf the Kronprlnz Wil
helm Aft they found eight Germatsallors
setting off tlaBi powders. The marines,
fearing that the flashes wro slgna's of
some sort, called upon them to stop. Tho
Germans sprang upon tho marines. In the
scuttle the marines' rifles wero discharged,
,each bullet wounding a Herman. Klfty men
of the marine outpost guard oarded tho
esscl. arrested the six unwounded Hermans
nnd turned, them c?r to Commander Max
Thlerlchens, of tho Ucrman-hlR,.who placed
them In lions. r "" "- -

were the wounds of the Hermans, who were
said to have been treated aboard their ship.
