Russia's probable action is widely dis

Muscovites will endeavor to revenge
themselves by stirring up disorders in
Afghanistan, while the Russian govern
ment will lie low awaiting a moment
when Japan having organized the mill

with the latter and drive out all Eiu-

slams, who by that time will occupy an
