THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

The Russian revolt, though mo-
mentarily crushed in Moscow, is
rapidly approaching that point
where it threatens TO become Ii
counterpart OF the French revolu-
ton. In France the sympathy and
aid of the army was at first wanting,
but the tri.colOr served to arouse
the people and France found Napo-
leon. With Napoleon came war and
carnage, but France was better Tor
it all and her progress as a republic
has been more rapid than she would
ever have hoped for under monarch
i'll rule. The Russian people are
not, perhaps, as competent to gov
ern as were the French and much
darkness and much misery will re-
suit from their efforts, but in the end
the efforts of a people struggling Tor
liberty and happiness will be crown,
ed with success and the world will
see born new Russia. free of the
tyranny and oppression of the Old.
The Russian people have the sym
patty of e,ery nation whose owr
people Lave fought for freedom, and
whether Russia becomes a republic
OF remains an autocracy their fight
for improved conditions is bound to
bear fruit. Though the cost be
great. the end justifies the means.
