Rvssla's Internal Dangers
Prince Uchtomski. the Russian noble
man and friend Of the car, whom l
saw today. said In regard to the inner
political condition In Russia and the
danger OF . revolution:
ut would be foolish to try to deny
that there II muc dissatisfaction in
Russia, but this dissatisfaction is not
strong enough to bring about any
change In the existing regime.
There are thousands of Intelligent
and well meaning Russians who would
bring n sacrifice. yes ever sacrifice
their lives to freedom, but there will be
no revolution In Russia.
The country il too sparsely popu-
lated for that. A thousand Cossacks
are ready to suppress every liberty-lov-
ing MAJ who dares attempt to attack
the present system.
The only revolution which could be
dangerous to Russia would be a revolu-
no OF the peasantry, and should Rus
Ella be defeated in the present war the
possibility of a revolution of his kind
is not excluded, but 1t would hen not
be directed against the government, but

present regime ts now stronger than
