London, Dec. 1o.-As eyes are ,nr--.
toward Russia to see whether She i
willing TO fight Japan, accounts ro,,a
from h former country that within
her own borders there IS serf2rs isn.
ger Of a revolution before the wfrtsr is
past. 4 letter from Ekatartnos1a,.
dated December ., says the corr=s9n-d-
ent has been for several weeks iE,1fr-
ing into popular discomfort. h De.
~clares b q the recent disturbances were
mere s~putterings which p0Ttend a com
ing confagration. Chronic distress dTa
to bad harVeSts and lack OF empiUy-
ment. incline the people toward rerolu-
zion, but more is due TO tyranny.
The Russian aSTdTian and socialist
party has circulated & million COPIES
OF a proclamation denouncing the gov
eminent. From Moscow, Tamboff. Sc
bastapol and elsewhere socialist groups
are actively carrying on a similar prop
uganda. Every town is a focus from
which the rural districts are worked.
The revolutionary agitation has spread
from h universities to the schools.
In several recent outbreaks, notably at
kieff, soldiers refused to fire on civil
ians.
The revolutionary movement and its
infection of the army are undoubtedly
at the bottom of Russia's hesitation to
war on Japan, which would draft
a large number of soldiers to the east,
and dangerously denude Russia.
Gear Not Well.
The St. Petersburg correspondent c.
the Telegraph a y that a degree of
nervousness has been noticeable lately
in foreign office circles. Keen disap-
pointment is expressed that Japan has
so long refused to knuckle to Russia.
In some quarters the belief is eX-
pressed thai Russia will give way
rather than risk war.
In connection with this indication of
a possibility hat Russia may tenn
porarily throw up the sponge, a st,
