st. Petersburg, Dec as. according 10
information reserved By the revolution.
sry leaders here, an armed rebellion on
o large scale has been planned in Poland.
hTe Socialist Fcvalutionaries, encouraged
BY the sieccsr of The Insurgents id the
Baltic provinces and cf the situation At
Moscow and in Russia generally, have
decided that the moment has come TO
try to east off the yoke Of the auto
craey.
The tactics to be followed are the
same as those adopted at Moscow, the
rising to be preceded by general strike,
which already has practically come into
operation. bringing about half the rail
roads III Poland to 4 standstill.
An open rebellion in Poland would
immensely eomplieate the situation for
the government, as, If is should gain
enough headwa to warrant reasonable
hope Of success, it probably would draw
in the entire population and the govern
ment would practically have to recon
quer the country.
