It cannot be said that lie met with great success. The great unbridled proletariat under the lash of German and anarchist propaganda Went mad. For Ke rensky, the socialist minister, was no longer the violent pro tagonist of tbe socialist-revolu tionists, preaching the necessity of arilied force and coertion. He had become a mild and pacific idealist. Without understand ing this, one will be at a com plete loss to explain - the events since the revolution or the policy in Russian “hoorzliewy,” is a term of reproach conferred by t)m so cialists upon all people who wear white collars and therefore have/ capitalist ideas. \ l Caokt vis ' ail abbreviation formed of the two initial letters of the Constitutional Democratic party, of which Haul Miliukov, former Foreign.
