i KERENSKY'S STATEMENT NOT IMPORTANT. RUSSIANS NOT DESERTING ALLIES. Betrograd, Nov. ? 31. Kcrensky is reported to have said that Russia entered the war early, and is now worn out by the strain. Russia claimed .that the other Allies ought to shoulder the burden of the war. Reuter Service. Received Nov. 4, 5.5 p.m Washington, Nov. 3.

KERENSKY'S PESSIMISM.
LAWLESS AGITATORS FOMENTING RISINGS. WIDESPREAD PREPARATIONS. Times Service. Received Nov. 4, 5.5 p.m. London, Oct. 3. 'Petrograd messages indicate that M.

Lenin has reappeared, and he and the Maximalists are again most active in fomenting risings at Petrograd, aiming at the seizure of supreme power. The press uneasily discusses the widespread preparations. Even M. Gorky's paper denounces them as irreligious and lawless agitators, who are likely to precipitate a civil war and drown the revolution in blood.
