Amsterdam, Nov. 9.—The Rheinishe Westfalische Zeitung of Essen, Germany, publishes a Stockholm tele gram saying that Premier Kerensky has been arrested. Petrograd is under control of the Maximalists, while Premier Kerensky has fled the Russian capital. The downfall of the provisional government's authority in Petrograd. at least, came suddenly and without great bloodshed and several ministers of Kerensky's cabinet are in prison. Unofficial opinion in allied capitals seems to be that the Maxi malist attempt to guide the destinies of trouble-torn Russia will be short lived. Civil war with the more conservative elements of Russia opposed to ,the extremists of Petrograd is not unlooked for and in some quarters it is thought that even now Kerenskv at the head of loyal troops may be marching against the Bolsheviki. News dispatches received from Petrograd are subject to the censorship of the Maximalist; and probably portray only one side of the situation. The action of the Maximalists has been endorsed by all the all-Russia Congress of Workmen's and Soldiers' Councils. A proclamation has been issued by the revolutionary government declaring that it purposes to negotiate an "immediate democratic peace." It also plans to turn over all the land to the peasantry and to summon the constituent assembly. Arrest of Kerensky Ministers Is Not Act of Vengeance, Says Trotzky Petrograd, Nov. 9.—At a meeting of the Congress of Soldiers' and Work men's Deputies last night a member fl|"f the revolutionary military commit- said that on Wednesday Premier Kerensky at Gatchina, thirty-five versts (twenty-three miles) from Pftrograd addressed. 6.000 soldiers who were on their way from the front to Petrograd. After a conference the soldiers decided not to proceed for the time to Petrograd. Leon Trotzky. president of the ejeeutive committee of the Petrograd Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's Delegates, explained that the arrest of certain members of the Kerensky government was not an act of venge ance or political repression. He said all the members of the late govern ment \Vould be tried for complicity in the Korniloft movement. The political parties to which the Socialist ministers belong have de cided to turn over all the ministers. Socialist as well as others, for trial. In the meanwhile they are being held under arrest. Confirmation was obtained last night that the former ministers of the provisional government who were arrested by the military revolutionary committee have been incarcerated in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. The cabinet ministers placed under arrest were A. X. Konovaloff, minister of trade and industry; M. Kishkin, minister of public welfare; M. I. Terestchenko, minister of foreign af fairs; M. Malyontovltch, minister of justice, and XI. Nikitin, minister of the interior. Lieutenant General L. G. Korniloft was commander-in-chief of the Rus sian armies when early last Septem ber several detachments of troops under his command marched on Pe trograd. He was removed from of fice. Some of his troops reached a point thirty from Petrograd when they deserted to the provisional government. The movement collapsed on September 13 and General Kornl loff surrendered. A board of army officers inquired into the revolt but General Korniloft has never been biought to trial. 1 THE WEATHER 1 For Harrisburg and vicinity: Fair to-night tin l Saturday; not much change In temperature, lot* cut to-n in lit about ID de grees.

Publicity Director By Associated Press Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 9. —The sei sure of the Russian government by the Maximalists was described as a "toy revolt" here to-day by A. J. Sack. director of the Russian In formation Bureau in New York, who declared that only a few fanatics and following of provoeators and German spies" were in favor of a separate peace. He expressed confi dence that if the allies continue to trust and materially help Russia her armies will be reorganized and take an actual part in the military operations against Germany next spring. "If Petrograd is really taken by the Maximalists then we may ex pect that a national government, a new provisional government will soon bo established, at Moscow, and at its command will be all the progressive forces of Russia. "If the allies will not cease to trust in Russia and will render cur country at this critical moment all the material and moral help f he needs, w;e may predict that our army, reorganized, will actually participate in the allied operations next spring." Uprising I. W. W. Revolt, Says Russian Arch-Priest Missoula, Mont.. Nov. 9.—"The fall of Petrograd is not the fall of Rus sia. The Maximalist uprising is noth ing more than an I. W. W. revolt that has temporarily gained control of the city." This was the statement to-day of the Rev. Vladimir V. AlexandrofT, arch-priest of the Russian Orthodox Church in America. Father Alexan aroff is on his way to Washington, he said, with messages from Premier Kerensky to the American Govern ment. Town Meeting Party Confident of Victory; Win First Test Case Philadelphia. Nov. 9.—After hear ing argument the election court to day decided to order the opening of the ballotbox in the' test case from the Fifth ward involving the validity of votes marked for the Town Meet ins party candidates in lust week's election and also for .Samuel p. Ro tan. candidate for District Attorney on the Republican ticket, the Town Meeting party having no candidate for that office. This decision means, according to the Town Meeting law >ers. that in all election divisions where the ballots with a double marking were thrown out by the election officers on the technical rul ing that they were illegal the boxes will lie opened. Thev claim that enough ballots were thus Invalidated to insure the election of the inde pendent or Town Meeting party can didates who apparently were defeat ed by majorities ranging from 2 750 to 9,600, Just as the independent ticket was put on the ballot by the courts, so the Town Meeting leaders and Sen ator Penrose, who left the city yes terday to go "bear-hunting," now'be lieve the courts will rule that the Town Meeting ticket had actually carried the election.

RUSSIAN COUP PASSING PHASE PRESS BELIEVES Situation Should Not BeTakcn Too Tragically, Opinion of London Papers By Associated Pres London, Nov. 9. —The situation in Russia, the Daily News urges, should not be taken too tragically. It points out that Petrograd is not Russia and advises the outside world to await developments, which it says, qannot fail to be swift and dramatic. "Nevertheless," the News adds, "this situation coupled with the con tinued advance of the enemy in Italy constitutes a sufficiently black outlook. The allies' position has suf fered a shock. The burden falls in evitably more than ever upon the shoulders of this country, France and the United States and the duration of the war would seem to be pro longed."

It must Have been the weather, too, which prompted a bit of persiflage between John Nawton, 2458 Market street, and Edmund James, Camp Hill. The Penn-Harrls corner was a merry spot. "Mr. James," said Mr. Newton, "why is the contracting tlrm building the Penn-Harrls hotel almost like Scherezerade, the girl who told the tales In the Arabian nights?" Editor's Note—The author of this story may have spelled the name of the Arabian Night's heroine cor rectly, but It looks ddd it looks odd. • "i do not know, Mr. Newton," re plied Mr. James in his w'ell-known Neil O'Brien style. "Tell me: why is the contracting firm building the Penn-Harrls hotel almost like Scherez —whatever you said her name was —the girl who told the tales in the Arabian nights?" "Because," replied Mr. Newton, "while the girl built a story a night the firm is building a story a week. HARRISBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1917. TO BERLIN!

"Such a fool conundrum," darned Mr. Newton. "Anybody knows that." "They does, do they," chugged this here, now, Vendig. They do, docs they? Why is d' concrete lifter like d' dad blame rag business?" "Because It's picking up," said Newton. "Y" t'ink yer smart, doncha?" says this here, now Vendig.
