Russia May Intervene.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. Is he
Movie Vreyma in an editorial raises
the question OF Russian intervention
in northern Persia. asserting that this
may soon be necessary to prevent all
of Persia falling a prey to anarchy,
and to safeguard Russia's commercial
and other interests in northern Persia.
The Novoe Vreyma sees no hope OF
the shah's forces restoring order In
the province of Azerbaijan. Satar
Khan. the constitutionalist leader, and
his brigand followers, the paper says,
with their victory. have es-
tablished an autonomous government
at Tabriz and are about to carry the
standard OF revolt into southern Per
STA. with fair chances of success.
Russian trade has been completely
paralyzed. and the outbreak threatens
to cross the frontier into the eau
casus.
In conclusion. the Novoe Vreyma
says: Great Britain and Russia have
tried TO play the role OF disintertest-
ed advisers to the shah, but without
success. Russia in justice TO herself,
though unwillingly. may be forced to
assume the task OF restoring order In
Azerbaijan."
