RUSSIA.

FOR THEIR RELIEF WILL BE
TAKEN UP.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. Is. - Disquiet-
ing reports of the progress of agrarian
disorders in Poland were received hast
| night. The military authorities arc
rushing troops and machine gums into
the affected areas. Inhabitants of
| Karsk and Tugansk are organizing for
the protection of their respective
towns. The village of Balanda, in the
! government of Saratoff, has been fired
by peasants.
1t is generally believed here that
both Germany and Austria have given
Russia assurances of support, but OF
what nature cannot be learned. Whetn-
er or not this is true, both Germany
and Austria naturally are Interested
each of them having a Polish problem
on their hands-in not raising the Pol

ent movement in Poland certainly will
not receive the sympathy of he's gov

All Parties RaIlyine.
Private and reliable reports from
Warsaw say hat all the parties there
are joining in the nationalist move

for a complete strike. So far as their
attitude of naCcivn raCjCt annn pDntin-
ues the issue will be one of endurance.
The danger is that the Poles may pro
yoke active measures which would
mean nothing short of civil war.
1t would be extremely difficult under
the present conditions to attempt to-
withdraw any troops from European
Russia. The number of troops in Pc
land, however, is supposed to be ufh-
cient to
Cope With the Situation.
With the Polish "qu%adrilateral' on
each side of the Vistula and on the
Bug, there are over SOC, 900 troops.
The government has decided to-
make an appeal to the peasants. With

left but to turn to the peasants, and
the emperor has approved an ukase
informing them that measures for the

The discomfort of the Poles n

movement largely contributed to the
governments decision.
