TIRING OF CHAOS.

LONDON, June 28. Tho ' Daily Chronicle's ' Petrograd correspondent reports that civil war has again been-averted. Tho Leninists, seeking orevenge for the humiliating defeat thev suffered at the All-Russia Congress of Workmen and Soldiers' Councils, spread alarmist rumors, raised cries of a counter-revolu-tion, and that a Cossack army was coming. Tho Leninists called on "the soldiers and workers to attend an armed demonstration against the Government. Tho Congress discovered the plot, and strongly appealed to the workers and soldiers to retrain from tho demonstration. Members of the Congress moved in motor lorries at 2 o'olock in the morning to the Taurida Palace for the sake of better telephoning facilities, and sat up all night long maintaining contact with the Government, who arranged with the commanders of the troops. The Congress's asents then motored to the factories" and barracks and persuaded tho workers and soldiers not to wreck the revolution. They met with a friendly reception, and the danger passed. The crisis has proved that tho Socialists are rapidly learning the lesson of responsibility.
