REVOLUTION FORCE
MAINTAINED ORDER
DESPITE CONFUSION
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 16.-One of the
most remarkable features of the Rus
sian revolution. says Reuters Petro-
grad correspondent. has been the
speed with which the people have re-
sumed normal life. Order is the
watchword of the day. The CORE
spondent continues:
Still more remarkable, looking
hack over the events of the past few
days. is the way in which the same
spirit of good order prevailed through
the hours when the revolt was at its
HEIGHT Unorganized crowds Of re-
VOTERS seemed to take pride in doing

For instance, in all sections Of the
city the crowds commaudeered all
motor cars on the streets but In every
case took the names of the occupants
and promised to report the names and
circumstances to the duma committee
and facilitate the return of the car.
I'm the view of the populace the
revolution was practically bloodless.
Certainly there has been some loss of
life but it Is insignificant as compared
with the tremendous results obtained.

ding much zest to the preparations.

REVOLT IN GERMAN NAVY.
MiIitarists Driven to Desperate
Measures by Present Conditions.

London, Oct. 12-Having faced
what was established as wide
spread revolt in the navy and with
mutterings of discomfort in the
army, the German military machine
was expected by observers here TO
seek eradication of all opposing eIe-
ments by new iron hand methods.
Belief was expressed in certain
quarters that German militaris5S
would seize the opportunity afforded
by their preliminary suppression of
revolt to sweep away all radicals.
The independent socialists, of the
type of Le5knecht Ledebour and
Haase, have always been thorns in
the side of the pan-Germans. Lieo-
knecht was removed by imposition
of long term of Imprisonment be-
cause he circulated petitions OF stop
page of the war. That was several
months ago. His work of internation-
alism was taken up by Ledebour,
Haase and small minority group
of socialists. They have constantly
harassed the government.
Now the government retaliates by
seeking to connect them with the
naval revolt. The fact that the Ger
man censors passed the news OF the
naval rebellion was taken here as
evidence that the mil!tarists had
managed again to gain complete as
cendancy and that they were seeS-
inc an excuse for even more rigorous
measures against popular. rule. The
first outbreak of the uprising in the
navy occurred about September I,
according to Holland dispatches. NJ
was at Wilhelmshaven. The move
mcnt was widespread and organized
ard was suppressed only with the
greatest difficulty. At least four bat
tleships crews were affected. A ttth
ioined later. The German censor
passed one dispatch asserting tnat
the direct cause of the revolt Was
inadequate and poor food.
Other dispatches received here IN
dicated that disaffection had been
noted in various army units, bur ap-
parently there have been no direct
outbreaks. Just how many navel m"-
tiueers had been executed anG m
prisoned was not revealed in any
German dispatches. Only three were
apparently executed on the kaiser 5
personal orders at WllnelmshaNehL'
How many were shot down in the
fighting which marked the capture
Of one of the vessels from the mu-
t;neers was not made known.
