COUNTRY ■■ STILL IN DANGER
LONDON, July 22. A wireless Russian message states
iThe Provisional Government has issued
a manifesto to tho army saying:— •*.' Three weeks ago, in accordance with tlie War Minister's order, the armies oil the south-western front made an offensive with a mighty revolutionary impulse, taking prisoner 36,000. These heroic fighters, although threatened at the front by German bayonets, and nearby with a treacherous mutiny,
iield that their honour and the Father-
Hand's existence, and the success of the revolution, was more precious than their lives. The nation's;, forces supjpressed the mutiny in the interior, lint thti- revolution is still a great danger. The external oneray-, having
gathered its, strength, has assumed the offensive, cunningly coupled with a traitorous blow in the rear. The soldiers go forward, heedless of cowards, to san> the freedom of the Father,land."
