 Tn my opinion in this present awak- ening of the army and the people to the criminal neglect and corruption of their officials there are the germs of the most serious revolution Russia has ever known-a revolution supported by the army. This revolution will come as soon as the war is over."
 In. this protest, which is being so bitterly expressed in Russia, there Is not an atom of disloyalty. It is, in fact, a very high expression of a loy- a1ty which is resentful that the pur- pose of the nation is being frustrated and the chances of victory weakened by some of its own officials. A com- mon view is that the evil is account ed for by the residue of German infiu- ence which still exists in the various departments of the government Il was spirit of revolt against this per. I sistent German element in Russia thai caused the terrible Moscow riots o | two months ago. WheR the order ex polling all Germans from the city wa. | not enforced by the city authorities | the mob decided to take the matter fl | its own hands and expel them forci

LooKs LIKE cARRANzA.

From the announcement made by the Pan-American representatives, fol- lowing consideration of the Mexican situation, that the time has come for the extension of formal recognition to a government in Mexico. there are
 good reasons for Carranza 70 believe
 that he will be the one-to get that recognition. Having wisely determined
 that there shall be no intervention by
 force of arms on the part of the
 Americans, and being unable to get
 the factional leaders together for Q
 conference which might assist or actu-
 ally result in the establishment of
 peace it is apparent that If anything is going to be done to help Mexico it
 must come through recognition Of
 which has been set up
 Carranza may take the credit for forcing this decision through his re- fusal to join with the other factional leaders for 8 peace conference. and he has ground for believing that he will be the choice of the governments for recognition because of the strength and control that he possesses. but 1t is nevertheless a fact that he must show | that he has the material and moral capacity necessary to protect the lives
 and property of nationals and foreign ers.' This means that he must show that he is stronger and better equip 1 ped than Villa to carry out these re- quirements, fact which ought not tc be difficult under the existing circum' 1 stances. This country has only the l best interests of Mexico at heart, bu l it does not intend to lend its inf1uenc' | in support of a new government ther' | until it is satisfied that it is deserv | inR

AIRsHlP RAIDS.

Nothing has stood out more glar-
 lngly to the discredit of the German airship raids than the large loss of life of non-combatants. largely women and children, that has resulted.

 Phe Gerrnans statement calls atten- ton to the factsthat the allies are mak- ing attacks on aNpdefended places and people. It is impossible to defend any such attacks regardless of the side which commits them. but it is not to be forgotten that with Germany the aggressor in this kind of inhumane warfare it has no reason to expect anything different than 1t gives and retaliation is one of the most natura' things under such circumstaces though there may be nothing to justify it.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Profound Effect on Russian National
 Feeling.

Profound Effect on Russian National
 Feeling.
 The fall of Warsaw and the failure of the Russian defensive campaign to prevent the German invasion of Po- land have had a much more profound effect upon Russian national feeling than is admitted in despatches from Petrograd. says a Stockholm despatch. The feeling which has shaken the con- stitutionally stolid and international country from one end to the other is not one of diScouragem or submis- sion. It has not moved any one to talk of ultimate defeat or the possi- bility of Russia's undertaking peace | negotiations with Germany. RusStaS s reaction is one of intense indignation at the government officials who have been Irresponsible for her tragic short age of ammunition.
 The full tragedy of this shortage has been observed only by the men at | the front who. with empty gun cais- sons. have helplessly faced the con- centrated artillery attacks of the enc my and have watched the assured progress of the German and Austrian trench builders under their very po- sitions without the possibility of stopping them.< These soldiers were determined. experienced fighters. Rus sia's best troops, acQuitting them selves in unusual bravery in every bayonet action, but crippled and final ly demoralized by insufficient ammu- milton and the knowledge that it was
 this lack of ammunition that ordered | their continued retreat from one posi-

 the world and national and inherent
 inhibition of free comment has failed to check the avalanche of criticism
 and the accusations which have been
 made against the government officials
 who are held responsible. For once ' expression of opinion in Russia has become unhampered. No attempt is , made to conceal this reproach against
 the methods of the bureaucrats who are accused of having crippled Rus
 sia's fighting strength and materially delayed the ending of the war. It i. not expressed alone by men of revo- 2 ilutionary inciinations or opposition

MoNTvILLE's HIGHWAY MURDER

Though he is unknown and possibly a rowing weaver. the man who was killed in the AGontville highway as the result of some violent collision, whether by an auto. motorcycle or wagon, has just as good a right to be there as the driver of the vehicle that killed him Indications point to his having been on the left hand side of the road. but with the electric car track on the other, he was to all ap- pearances in a position which should have insured him perfect safety and from the time that the accident oc- cured it could not have been so dark that he was not visible to careful driver.
 Perhaps one of the worst features of the case is the manner in whict he was abandoned by the sido of the road to die. after being struck | seems impossible for any vehicle tC have struck @ person such g. blow as he must have received and not hav, known 1t, allowing for the slight pos sibility that the man was not seen It Is most unfortunate fact that nt clue is possessed by the authoritie, as to whom was responsible for hic death. To have deliberately run ava, from such a scene indicates an act o cowardice which in itself indicates serious disregard for humanity am furnishes ground for the belief tha the responsibility rested with tn driver of the vehicle.
 It is only one of many instance where an improper regard for other on highways have been exhibited an unless 1t can be proved that it was a unavoidable accident, the guilty per son should receive due punishment

CHANGING STEAMSHIP ROUTES.

As an explanation of a slight delay experienced by the Baltic in reaching this country, it is claimed that it was part of plan for the avoidance of any German submarines which might
 be waiting for 1t had 1t taken its regular course. Instead of following it's usual route and going to the south
 of Ireland 1t is said that after 1t had
 started on such course and gotten
 as far as Queenstown 1t turned and
 went to the north of Ireland. This did not take it through waters
 which cannot be reached by the underwater boats, for they can operate there as easily as in St. Georges channel, but it meant a change from the beaten track and by keeping the information away from the submarines as to the locality where they can be expected, it fur nishes added protection. although i; may result in time in the employment of a greater number of submersibles ! for the watching of such maneuvers l As far as the safety of the live: of passengers and crew are concerned | or where neutral vessels which art not engaged in carrying contrabant | are involved, there should be no neei 1 of any such efforts to get past the wig l liant German submarines, but the pol I icy which they have carried out in thu past and the protection of vessels which are the legitimate prey of en emy ships make it advisable and it ii surprising that it had not been adopt ed before. It certainly forces the sub marines to guess at the locality o
 ships instead of having the assist ance of a regular schedule.

MUNITIONS AND THE LOAN.

In the preliminary considerations surrounding the loan of a billion or less to England and France for the purpose of establishing credit in this country, there appear to be strong indications that there will be a gen. eral participation in the loan by the leading bankers of the country regard less of what their sympathy in the war may be. This is because they rec ognize that it is as important to this country as 1t is to those seeking the loan that the arrangement contem- plated should be made. It vitally con- cerns the agricultural, manufacturing and mining interests of the United States.
 The important point over which there Is any possibility of hitch is that which concerns munitions of war The foreign finance commission desires that the loan should be used for the payment of such orders as it may place in this country for munitions but bankers who are o-German ant who hold an influential place in tht financial market are opposed to it ana their participation may depend upor the exclusion of such a provision. Thi! question is likely to be adjusted, how ever, to the satisfaction of all con cerned.
 It is impossible of course to los sight of the fact that this country ha declared the manufacture and sale o munitions of war in this country fo any of the belligerents is perfectl, proper, but from this loan only the al lies could benefit and when it comes t the German sympathizers using thei money to help out the manufacture o munitions to be used against thei friends it is readily understood tha they have the right to balk and de mand that if they participate muni tions must be paid for in another way
