JJ If The Cabinet crisis etUled, the Korntlplt J rejvolt quelled and plans for reorcanltktloi) t of the army started under way. the pro fl"1 visional Government today turned Its .il ft glea toward preparing for the constituent '" assembly which will fix Ituisla's form of '' government Active steps were begun throughout the nation to establish voting boards and the ' complicated machinery by which delegates tilll bs selected for the, constitutional con ference on December 11. Premier Kerensky, from the rmy front where he is aiding In Investigation ot ths. Kornlloff revolt and In planning the re habllltatlon of the wholo army, today Is. sued a pioclamatlon expressing the Qov ernment'n thanks to the rommlttees on public nafety formed ut the time of the j Kornlloff rebellion He asked that they ' now dissolve, their functions having ceased to ho a necessity. Answering former Foreign Minister Tschernoffs attacks on him, the Premier also published through the newspaper Voll ana Iloda the retort that alt acts of which ' Tschernoff complained were approved by a majorltj of the Cabinet of which Teener- I noff was a member. f AKMV CONTINCKS ATTACK r A seml-orriclat news agency declares all positions on the whole of the Russian front nro now firmly maintained and that on the ' north front the ltusslan army Is organizing ' Its newly conquered lines, continuing its offensive The morale of the fighters b described as excellent. The Germans are destroying Milages from svhlch they are ejected and aro carrying off men of flglri Ing age. Orders for cancellation of the Instrur tlons to arrest General Kaledlnes, hetman of the Don Cossacks, who refused allegiance f to the provisional Government at the time Kornlloff started his rebellion, have beei. Issued , Tho Government Is adopting a lenient attitude toward those who figured in the Kornlloff revolt. Vladimir Durlshkevltclij. , a reactionary leader and leading figure In I tho "Itlght" In the Duma, was released from custody today. He likewise had fig ured in the Kornlloft uprising. With Premier Kcrensky at the front are General Verkhovskl, Minister of War, and Minister of Marine Varderocki. Cner ' Verkhovskl has Issued a proclama . '.,,-. daring that the new army will be a "mighty revolutionary" army, which "will soon be- , come strong again and will resist to the end ( for tho dignity and safety of the father- . land " .Firm discipline ls to be Instituted at once, and all advisory committees ot soldiers art to bo barred. Arrangements have been started where by the army will be hereafter kept in com pleto touch with developments, so that in tho future no leader will be able to play on tho soldiers' Ignorance, as KornllolT did. Premier Keronsky will be In supreme con trol of the military forces. In the mean time, a. systematlo weeding out process ls to bo undertaken, to remove all dlsaftectlng elements. Announcing his army reorganization plan. General Verhovskl said: "Uussla ought not to shut her eyes te tho painful situation of her army, but It should also be pointed out that Germany's, Austria's and Turkey's armies are no bet ter." The War Ministry, which has been In tho hands of civilians since tho revolution last fcpring, is being reorganized on a strict military basis. Alt of the attaches will be army officers and will co-operate closely with great headquarters. A delegation from the Finnish Senate called upon Premier Kerensky and pledged tho loyalty of Finland to the republic. At the same lime gratitude was expressed for the extension of political liberties granted to Finland by the provisional government Views, aro being exchanged by the Finnish leaders and l epresentattves of the provi sional government, and complete accord es tablished It was announced that flie Premier has promised to send a supply of foodstuffs t IlelslnRfors and other Finnish cities where there Is a great scarcity. i " Gold Bars for Coinage Purposes NHW YORK.
