The riotous demonstration In St.
Petersburg is another indication Of the
extent to which Russia's internal trou-
bles have been increased by the stress
of war, war that is becoming more snd
more unpopular with the Russian peo-
pie. With riots In st. Petersburg, with
peasants in resurrection in at least three
provincial governments, and with re-
pested cases Of mutiny among regiments
drafted for the war, the ferment Of revo-
luton is visbly working In Russia. II
