At the plenary session Friday of the Petrograd Council of Soldiers' and Work men's Deputies, which was attended by soldiers who were absent from the pre vious meeting, thero were repassed tho Maximalist resolutions, ndopdd Thursday, putting forward an extremely radical pro gram demanding exclusion of all repiesenta tlves of the propertied classes from power, abolition of prlxate property, the Imme diate declaration of a democratic republic, etc. The delegates also adopted a resolution setting forth that the tragic situation of the country made necessary the constitution of a strong revolutionary power free from all compromise with the counter-revolutionary bourgeois- elements, nnd announc lug they had decided to convoko Imme diately a general conference of representa tives of tho whole organized democracy for the settlement of the question of consti tuting a power capnhl? of lending the coun try until the time the constituent assembly assembled.

WASHINGTON'. Sept. 17. TheT-liuHslan Republic has emerged from thrcrCtd dC counter-revolution stronger than ever, before. The entire nation has been unlfle'd by the attempted Kornlloff re bellion. Increasing military pressure against tho Germans on the Riga front may now be expected. This i tho situation In Russia, as out lined In dispatches from Petrograd to the State Department and the Russian embassy todav. The complete breakdown of the Kornlloff movement Ih confirmed In these cablegrams. The Cossack movement hat not been quelled In all districts, hut It is not regarded B3 serious by tho Petrograd government. General Alexleff was to have been placed In cpmmand of all the Russian armies' N'o confirmation of the report that he had com mitted suicide, following nn Interview with Premier Kerensky, has reached either the Russian embissy or the State Department. 'New generals have been appointed by the Petrograd War Office In nn effort to re store "confidence among the troops. Stern discipline will bo exercised everywhere under orders from Premier Kerensky. Cablegram!! dealing with tho military situation assert there are more German troops on the Russian front than ever be fore, but that the Russians are beginning to exert new pressure against them. On the Riga front tho Russians have advanced seven miles In the last five days. Russian diplomats believe today that the Kerensky government now is In posi tion to quell quickly any new uprising. Allied diplomats asserted today that the Kornlloff revolt had demonstrated the strength of the Kerensky government, nnd that the result would bo to allow Russia again to take an active part In tho military operations against Germany, Eggs Sixty Cents a Dozen, Prediction HAZLIVTON".

Tho members of the Jnpaneso Mission aro at present away from Washington touring several cIIIbs, but on their return In a few days will resume the conferences.

Indeed, It has been the poor railway service that Is responsible for much of the food shortage In Petrograd and other centers where counter - revolutionary In trigues have nourished. Thus. If the United States Is able to re organize the Russian railroads by next spring, there are many officials here who believe that the Russian bear can again be made a factor In the war by the time the supremo crisis of tho war arrives. Thero Is only the slightest mention here of Germany's reply to the Pope. Attention Is centered at present on prosecuting the war.
