Russia Very Close TO Civil War.

Russia Is now in the thrOes of a
mighty strike beside which the previ-
Gus demonstrations in the strife rid
den empire sink into nsignificaEce.
Railways all over the empire are para
lyzed and factories idle and yet the
leaders of the movement say that this
is NOT final. but merely test OF
strength. and that revolution will
come later unless the government
grants reforms. The fact of the mat
ter is thar Russia is dangerously near
TO civil war right now. There are
many things asked. but some of them
are not mistakenly demanded and
some others the government is ready
10 promise TO accede. The pivotal
thing. however. is the demand for uni
versal suffrage. The workingmen feei
that all other matters would adjust
themselves in due time If they had the
right 10 vote. and the royalty realize
that the one autOcratic government of
the world would go with the granting
of the right of suffrage. Sucn radical
changes are rarely brought about
peacaably and q revolution seems in
eyitaJle.
The government is SAID 20 De dunn
founded ut the strength of the present
movement. For many years the people
have sought TO throw OFF the yoke, but
the demonstrations have been sporadic
and have been ridden To- death by the
murderOus COssacks.
