The application Of the old methods,

The government sudden access OF
optimism, however, is in reality trace

astrous fall in Russian securities at
home and abroad. The one thing which
the government cannot do without Is
money, and, whatever the response to
the outlawed parliament's appeal to the
people to refuse any longer to pay
taxes, the whole future depends on the
its foreign loan operations.

can hardly be blind to the evidence nm

trail committees Of social democrats, So
cial revolutionists, Peasants league,
Railroad Mems union, Telegraphers'
union, and the military COMMITTEES have
been comforting both separately and
jointly with the parliamentary groups,
not only. on the question of calling q
general strike, but actually on the ques-
ton Of attempting counter coup

No final decision has yet been taken,
but practically all the proletariat or
i CARNATIONS, including that of the rail-

have already pronounced In favor OF
this step.
