Petrograd, Jan. 21 The Bolshevik
members and those of the left wing
of the social revolutionists and the
Socialist revolutionary members with
drew from the constituent assembly.
The constituent delegates, threaten
ed with treatment as a "counter revo
lutionary" organization, hurriedly
adopted decrees awarding the -lands
to the peasants and proposing to send
delegates to all the warring nations
to arrange a world peace.
The decrees were adopted at

cial Revolutionists, declared that the
Constituent Assembly should immedi

M. Tchernoff granted an interview
to a correspondent during the mid
night recess. '
"Do you think Russia can continue
the war if Germany refuses peace on
democratic terms?" M. Tchernoff
was asked. He replied:
"Everybody says that Russia can
not fight because of the extreme state
of disorganization. All know that the
decision in this war will be on the
western front
"But Russia can act as a magnet
to draw German forces and prevent
their being thrown over to the western
front. The Russian army may re
treat, but in doing so, will benefit
the allies by diverting the Germans
deeper and deeper into Russian terri
tory, with no gain for them."
The All-Russian Railway Men s Con
gress has passed by a vote of 273 to
61 a resolution supporting the Con

will consider what to do with that
counter revolutionary organization."
Chairman Tchernoff, making him
self heard, notwithstanding the wild
stamping and shouting of the sailors,
announced that the Assembly would
sit until it had passed the land de
cree. The decree was nurrieaiy reaa
and adopted with a standing vote.
