The Lieutenant-Commander of the Staff accosted me with: "We really ought to be able to come to some agreement." But it was already too late. The whole battalion, with only thirty dissenting votes, had voted for handing over all power to the Soviets. The government of Kerensky was restlessly looking for refuge, now one way, now another.
The Constituent Assembly, owing to the character of its majority, was bound to turn over the government to the Chernov, Kerensky and Tseretelli group. Could this group have guided the destinies of the Revolution? Could it have found support in that class which constitutes the backbone of the Revolution? No.
There were angry shouts; the archtraitor, Protopopoff, was before them in person. But before actual violence could be offered the old man, Kerensky, the Socialist leader, leaped into the crowd and allayed the excitement, thus saving Protopopoff's life.
The twilight spread gently over the town, and through its dusky, star-spangled veil, loomed the old Cathedral reminiscent of Stenka Razin; now and then came the chime of its deep-toned bells. The Tartars at length succeeding in striking a bargain, rolled the goods up into neat little packs with their customary promptitude, paid out Kerensky notes from their bulging purses and left.
I then joined the British Military Mission with the offices at the British Embassy. About that time the Kerensky Government was overthrown by the Bolsheviks and a lot of fighting took place in the city.
The very meager representation given to the working class, through Kerensky, was, in the circumstances, remarkable for its stupid effrontery and its disregard of the most obvious realities.
The need of self-defence compelled the Bolsheviks to send their best workmen to the front, because they were the most reliable Communists, and the loss of them rendered their factories even more inefficient than they were under Kerensky.
For the second time Kerensky was Premier at the head of a Coalition Ministry. No other government was possible for Russia except a strong despotism. Theorists might debate the advisability of such coalition, but the stern reality was that nothing else was possible.
He saw Soviet government as the need of the critical moment, rather than as the permanent, distinctive type of Russian Social democracy as the critics of Kerensky have alleged. While the Provisional Government was being created, the Czar, at General Headquarters, was being forced to recognize the bitter fact that the Romanov dynasty could no longer live.
Sept. 16 Russia proclaims new republic by order of Premier Kerensky. Sept. 20 Gen. Haig advances mile through German lines at Ypres. Sept. 21 Gen. Tasker H. Bliss named chief of staff, U.S. army. October 16 Germans occupy islands of Runo and Adro in the Gulf of Riga. Oct. 25 French under Gen. Petain advance and take 12,000 prisoners on Aisne front.
