M. KERENSKY'S PREDICTION SOVIET’S OVERTHROW CERTAIN. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 6. M. Kerensky, interviewed, said that the downfall of the Soviet is certain. It will be brought about by the workmen in the towns and the army, and probably na a violent manner. The Government and the people are strangers to each other.

CONSTRUCTION OF AEROPLANES. CONTRACT WITH GERMANY. LONDON, March 6. The French newspapers, after investigating in Russia, declare that the Soviet has concluded a contract with a German group of aerial designers and manufacturers. There are developments on a large scale, enabling the Germans to evade their treaty provisions. The newspapers regard this as a most serious menace. They believe the Germans are taking advantage of facilities to evolve giant troop-carrying aeroplanes made of metal. The idea of a'Red array of the air is said greatly to appeal to the Soviet. The Echo de Paris declares that one of the factories in charge of the Germans employs 1000 workmen.—A. and N.Z. Gable.
