RUSSIA FACES
FRESH CRISIS
IN ITS CABINET
Three Members Resign as Re
sult of Controversy
Over Ukraine
Petrograd, July 17.—Three mem
bers of the cabinet have resigned and
a special session of the Council of
Ministers has been convoked in an
effort to avert a crisis. Their names
arc A. I. ShingnarofT, minister of
finance: Prof. Munullof, minister of
education, and Prince Shakovsk.v,
head of the department of public aid.
The resignations of these cadet
ministers followed a sharp disagree
ment over questions involving the
Ukraine, an extensive region in Rus
sia, embracing part of tho territories
of the old kingdom of Poland.
Premier Lvoff has requested the
ministers to meet at his private resi
dence when the cause of the dispute
will be considered. It is known he
will attempt to prevail on them to
withdfaw their resignations. The
sjilit in tho ministry occurred last
night at a ministerial conference
called to consider a report submitted
by M. Tereschtenko, minister of for
eign affairs, and M. Tseretelli, minis
ter of posts and telegraphs, as a re
sult of their negotiations concerning
the Ukranians.
After the report was read the ca
det ministers promptly took excep
tion to the form of a declaration
drawn up by M. Tereschtenko and
M. Tseretelli and agreed to the fact
that these ministers without the au
thorization of the government took
it on themselves to commit tho gov
ernment to a definite policy regard
ing the Ukraine.
Tereschtenko and Tseretelli, the
cadets maintained, simply had been
chosen delegates in the Ukraine, but
had not been given the power of
making a declaration in the name of
the government. The ministers de
clared that upon receipts of frag
mentary information from the en
voys of the ministry. Mm. Teresch
tenko and Tseretelli, they specially
warned the latter at the beginning
of the Ukraine conference at Kiev
that they must return to Petrograd
to confirm the 'temporary govern
ment so that a decision might be
taken after mature deliberations by
all the members of the ministry.
In addition to this cause of com-i
plaint the cadet ministers criticised
the text of the Ukraine declaration,
first, because it did not specify of
what territories the Ukraine consists
or make clear how it shall be gov
erned.
Mm. Prokopovlch and Charnosky
have been appointed ministers of
commerce and education, respective
ly.

By Associated Press
Vienna, July 17—Austria-Hungary*
ideas on peace were made known to
the constitutional committee of the
Reichsrath in an address by the pre
mier, Dr. Von Seydler. After referring
to the unbreakable unity between
Austria and her allies, Dr. Von Seyd
ler declared parliament would work
for "the aim for which Austria is
fighting, namely, the unassailable, sa
cred right of her peoples to decide for
themselves their Internal destiny.
This task, at same time, will be
a long stride in the direction of an
honorable peace which we desire to
create on the basis of justice, mod
eration and conciliation—the fir In
unity of all civilized peoples and
their uniform endeavor to abolish
those circumstances which brought
about the world war. We are all
longing for this peace. Until then we
are determined to hold on in firm
co-operation between front and home
land."
Dr. Vojj Seydler referred to the
usefulness of all past efforts to carry
out the principle of equal rights of
all nationalities laid down in the con
stitution. This, he said, was the
cause of th'e political t-oubles which
made Austria appear sick—a state
which, however, every clear-minded

DRAWS ANALOGY BETWEEN

OF POWERS ENGAGED IN WAR
Recruiting Sergeant Sees Peculiar Connection Between
Breaking of Staffs: Old Glory Comes
Through Fray Victorious.
Sergeant Joseph W. Durbln, of the
local office for signal recruiting this
morning related a story of Ave flags
that had idorned the front of his au
tomobile. To him the flags illus
trated the position of the nations
of the world in the present war.
When he bought the flags to adorn
his radiator an American flag stood
between a Belgian, Russian, British
Jack and French flag.
On a stormy night a short time
after they had been placed on the
radiator cap. Durbln took a long trip
through the mountainous country
near WiUlamstown. A few miles out
the Belgian flag began to bend
against the thirty-mile gale thaw was
blowing. Farther and farther back
It went but still It did not break. It
struggle a few times to rise against
the gale but Anally lay bent, but not
broken, on the hood of the car.
On the next tri{>, the Russian flag
snapped in the middle and dropped
down over the front of the car. A
little later the British flag went as
the Belgian one had done, fighting a
losing battle against the blasts that
assailed it.
Only the French tricolor and the
finally this morning: without a dis
senting vote.
Ordinances were passed finally
providing for street changes at Clov
erly, including the widening of Nine
teenth street, placing of Caledonia
street on the city map and changing
and relocating Cloverly Terrace.
Commissioner Dunkle introduced
an ordinance providing for exten
sive repairs at the city filter plant,
pumping station and reservoir which
will cost $5,000. This sum was trans
ferred from tho appropriation for a
machine shop for the fire and water
departments, which has not been
used for that purpose.

American flag yet remained. A trip
through the rain ontfa windy night
and the two flagß drooping, their
red intermingled, were clasped to
gether. The next trip proved too
much for the tricolor, it stayed un
til next to last but was finally forced
to bend and break. Only the Ameri
can flag yet remains. The car has
been driven two months since the
last flag disappeared but that Ameri
can flag is still standing as erect as
ever.
"That," says Sergeant- Durbln,
"seems wonderfully significant to me
at this time. The Belgians put up a
stiff light again great odds but
couldn't stand the pressure. ' The
Russians' offensive snapped early in
the war when it was needed the most.
While I wouldn't like to commit my
self on the position of France and
Kngiand when we entered , the war
one thing was sure, they were bad
ly bent. But," continued Durbln,
"that old American flag reminded me
of the litle verse with much the same
symbolism:"
"The Lily may fade and its leaves de
cay,
The Rose from its stem may sever;
The Shamrock and Thistle may pass
away.
I But the Stars will shine forever."
