The evening newspaprs declare that the government is united in its re ponibiIUy for the note to the allies, promising co-operation in the war against Germany. They say that the A't-rnment is supported by the ex ecutive committee of the duma. A committee representing the Rus sian provisional government will leave in the near future for America t'i confer with the American govern ment ii!icials concerning the indus trial economic and financial relations of the two countries. Information to this effect was obtained by the Asso ciated Press from a high official source. Petrojrrad. May 4. (Via London.) Detachments of soldiers have gath ered in front of the palace, which is u.-ed as the headquarters of the pro visional government, carrying red lhiirs with inscriptions demanding the re-iirnatiun of Foreign Minister Mi lukotf. The resignation of M. MilukofT was dmar.ued by thousands of soldiers and workmen who marched through the streets yesterday afternoon and last evening, bearing banners in scribed "Down with MilukofT." Discontent has been smouldering f r some time on account of the be lief that the minister was not fully in sympathy with the viewpoint of the workmen and soldiers. The pres ent outbreak which began yesterday was a direct result of the announce ment made by the foreign office to the allied nations to the effect that Russia would not slacken her effort in the common sturggle against the cen tral powers and would observe strict ly her engagements with her allies. The workmen and soldiers declared that they should have been consulted before this communication was sent. All yesterday afternoon crowds gathered in groups in the public squares, listening to exhortations of impromptu orators. Workmen on leaving the factories in the evening paraded the streets carrying red fags. At a meeting of the council l soldiers and workmen's delegates " ie formation of a coalition cabinet as favored. Later the executive com mittee of the council attended a meet ing of the council of the provisional government. There were also demonstrations last evening in favor of the govern ment. M. Rodzianko, president of the duma. exhorted the people to con ue the war until the attainment of victory worthy of the Russian people. Friction Apparently Subsided. Some of the banners carried by the paraders .Gutchkoff were inscribed "Down with " (the minister of war), "nd "Down with the provisional gov ernment!" The executive committee of the Worwmen's and Soldiers" delegates discussed M. MilukolT's note to the allies all on Wednesday night. It ad journed at daybreak yesterday with, out reaching a decision. Later in the lay the committee sat in special ses sion with the council of the pro visional government for a discussion of the government's motives in issu ing the note. The executive commit tee finally decided that it must take some action regarding the note, but that it saw no reason for demanding the resignation of the provisional government. The committee induced the soldiers engaged in demonstra tions to return to their barracks. When Forign Minister MilukofT saw the words "Down With MilukofT he addressed the demonstration from the balcony of the palace, saying that he was fearful, not of MilukofT, but for Russia. If the inscription inter preted the feelings of a majority of j the citizens, he asked what must be J the condition of Russia. The entente allies would say Russia had betrayed her allies and had struck her name from the list of allied powers. "The provisional government can not accept that view of thnigs," con tinued M. MilukofT. "I declare to you that the pro visional government and myself, as minister of foreign affairs, will de fend a position in which no one will dare to charge Russia with treason. "Never shall Russia consent to a separate peace. "The provisional government is a sailing vessel which can only move with the help of the wind. We look then, for your trust, which is the wind that is to make our ship go for ward. I hope you will supply us with that breeze and that your confidence wil laid us in propelling Russia to ward liberty and piosperity and in upholding the dignity of our great, free country." U.S. LOAN DIS TANCES WORLD SUBSCRIPTIONS SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY MAKE IT FOUR BILLION Nearly $20,000,000 Hourly Offered in Greatest Record of National Wealth. Washington, D. C, March 4. Sub scriptions to the liberty loan poured in to the treasury department today at the rate of nearly $20,000,000 an hour. The greatest outpouring of the world was foreshadowed by the first day's response to the offering of the loan. Five hundred telegrams from less than 2 per cent of the total number of banks from which replies are ex pected had been tabulated when the office closed. These carried offers of subscriptions to the amount of 138, 074,000. Subscriptions tabulated indicate that the $2,000,000,000 offer will be over subscribed at least 100 per cent. With all other agencies of subscription, such as department stores, express compa nies, newspapers and patriotic soci eties yet to be organized and to exer cise their efforts in obtaining sub scriptions, the oversubscription may be much larger. Should the ratio of the first responses be maintained in replies from the other banks, the banks and their customers alone would offer subscriptions totaling ap proximately $7,000,000,000. One subscription of $20,000,000 was received from a bank in New York. Another was for $5,000,000. The smallest subscription was $5,000. New York led the list of states with sub scriptions, aggregating approximately $72,000,000, more than half the total amount. Amounts subscribed by the first banks to respond, grouped by states, included: California, $87,000; Colorado, 81, 100,000; Illinois, $19,895,000; Iowa, $710,000; Kansas, $675,000; Minne sota, $160,000; Missouri, $320,000; Montana, $25,000; Nebraska, $480,000; Nevada, $25,000; New Mexico, $25, 000; North Dakota, $170,000; Okla homa, $140,000;- Oregon, $610,000; South Dakota, $75,000; Texas, 81,201, 000; Washington, $152,000; Wyoming, $175,000.

He'll find quite a gap in Main street on his return. Quartis Parmele with a horse and sled to which was attached three other sleds, had a big ride on the sleety loads last Saturday. The Livingston puny also diew a like array of sleds up and down the street. Mr. Waverly Allen called upon the Herall Tuesday morn.

The only objection to these things is, you can't always tell who is at the other end of the wire; now Phil Young was talk ing along innocently enough to his wife the other tfay about her head ache in the morning, and whether she could come down to hear Janausheck next week, when a customer came in and he turned away. Mike Murphy instantly stepped to the machine and kept up the talk, "Want some beans for dinner?" says Mike. ''Beans; what for says Mrs. Y. "Oh, I've got com pany coming home today and they all like beans, old army boys, you know. Have some big, old-fashioned white beans, none of your modern, half-black little things, and plenty of 'em, for my friends are hungry." Mike slid out after that and when Phil went home his wife had about two bushel of beans cooked and every pot, kettle and pan full, expecting a regiment of men. Phil says' he'll lock that tell-a-fun up next time. Rock Bluff Notes. Ei. Herald: Philander has been a faithful servant, to write from Rock Bluffs, when others had ceased to take any interest in it.
