Cars Chair Cast Out
By Holy Russian Synod
Czarism Gets Its
Brutus Blow from
Within the Church
Priesthood Hitherto Mighty
Tool in the Hands of
Rcactionaries

NEXT 10 the overthrow OF the Gar
/ Y the removal of the Emperor's
chair from the synod's first session is
the most dramatic event that could
happen in Russia, for it means a rev.
olution in the chief buwark of Gar
ism. the Orthodox Church of Russia
The synod is the highest authority in
that Church. The influence of the
Church on the Russian peasant masses
is enormous, for the moujik IS still
deeply religious. His attitude 10 the
Gar was largely d religious attitude.
The new governments control of the
synod g.. therefore, Of vital import TO
its success.
IN case OF reaction, for instance, 1t
would be the Church that would serve
as a mighty tool in the hands of the
reactionaries for the accomplishment
Of their purposes. As a matter of fact.
one OF the most powerful elements of
the overthrown Germanophle govern
ment was Pitirim, the Petrograd Metro
politan. Next 10 Rasputin, he was the
most Influential member OF the dark
forces in the court Of Nicholas II. To-
Cether with Sturmer and Protopopoff
he plotted against the Allies.
1t is consequently Of great signifi-
cance that the chief dignitsries of the
Church should side with the popular
cause. The first session of the synod
took place under the presidency of the
Kiev Metropolitan. The latter has
been one Of the most enlightened and
broad-minded members of the Ortho-
dox Church. lie would undoubtedly
know how to fulfil the wishes of the
new government in such manner as
to strengthen the new political order
with the superstitious peasantry.
The plebiscite by which the Russian
people will determine their future form
Of government is likely to prove
source of trouble. While the more civ
ilized elements Of the nation axe GER
tain to vote for republican form of
government, the attitude Of the peas
ants is likely to be quite different. And
there is no better instrument for in
fuencirg the moujik than the Orthodox
Church. This was the aim of the Com
mittee of Safety when it appointed
Lvof, a remote relative of the Premier.
10 the post of procurator Of the synod.
The procurator Is Cabinet member.
The swiftness with which the Church
has been recognized and is being re
organized by the new ministry shows
how alert the latter is to eliminate all
the possible obstacles in the way of the
new Russia

No Hint of Making Stand

The Berlin announcement gives no m
dication of the present alignment Of the
opposing forces nor any hin; as to
where the Germans intend 70 face about

possible to mark the front as IT stands
at this hour, as 1t is constantly chang

French troops sweep away the German
rear guards. VINO have been placed at
every advantageous point TO delay the
pursuers.

German Guns Reply Feebly

Undoubtedly the Germans have
drawn back most OF their heavy artll-
lcry long since. perhaps weeks ago. as
ourinq the last few weeks the Germah
Guns have replied but feebly to IN
fire Of the French and English pat
teries. a..
On the Allied side o. the line many
difficulties are TO be encountered also;
The feeding of immense torces oi
troops on the offensive. ana, aGVahG
ing at the rate the British ana rIehcn
are now doing. is a difficult task IoI
the commissary department must MAKE
constant changes OF base and hercu-
lean efforts to keep supplies moving
over a broad front that takes ne"
line almost every hour
Then there is the mad dash forward
of the signal corps. which must keep
in, constant touch with the ofiicers dl-
recting affairs, and the frantic and des-
perate digging and building Of the en-
gineers. whose duty il is to prepare tne
way for the advance Of the held ar
nllerv and ammunition trains.
News Of the Allied advance has now
taken the proper perspective as u is
received by the people OF England ana
France Though a heartening move
nent for the Allies. no thoughtful per
son here considers il more than
prelude 20 the great, decisive campaign
IN the West.
In any case. The British thoroughly
realize that they are in for lot Of heavy
work this spring. They are ready for
the blow wherever It falls. Ihey
blocked the way to Calais once. when
they were poorly prepared. and they
are fully confident they can repeat the
performance under the more favorable
conditions that now exist.

town Of Peronne this morning they re-
ceived a similar erecting from the few
residents left there. The town itself
they found TO be little more than a
she'll. battered beyond recognition by
the furious lighting of many months.
Just l02 years ago the same town was
entered By another British army. after
it had capitulated to the Duke Of Wei
lington. Peronne is an equally famous
name i'm the history of the wars of
France as Bapaume. Before the war IL
numbered 1000 inhabitants.
To gain the best idea OF the extent
of French territory evacuated in the
last three weeks. it is only necessary
10 state that it amounts TO more than
three times the area of ground Won on
.he Somme front during the eight
months previous.
Not since the first days of the war
has there been so much activity on Doth
sides of the line. What is going on IN
the German ranks can only be mag
med. but some appreciation of the SIT
uation can be gained from the lnci-
dents OF the French and British re-
treat in the summer OF 1914. Merely
moving the Wounded and transferring
the field dressing stations Is tas%
which requires almost superhumah
labor.

Wilson Still Hopes
To Keep Out of War
President Believes End OF
Conflict Near, Friends Say

Washington, March 1s.- Some close
friends of the President declare that
Nr Wilson by no means has given up
the hope OF keeping the United States
out Of actual participation in the Eu-
ropean struggle.
They say that he feels the end of the
war is in sight. at last. and possibly
very near. Much that has happened in
Europe in the last week. they say. sup
ports his belief. His single purpose
now is 10 keep the country neutral to
the end, armed neutrality, perhaps, but
neutrality.

CATION of People, Prayer,
Berlin Says

Berlin, March IS (by wireless TO Say
ville).-"Prominent Belgisns, belong
ing TO different parties. recently ad-
dressed a prayer to the German En-
Teror to check compulsory transporta-
tion of Belgian workmen to Germany
and send home Belgians who had been
thus transported" says the Overseas
News Agency. "The signers of the pc
tition received information to the CT
feet that the Emperor had decided to
submit their wishes. as expressed, to
thorough investigation by the governor
general and other competent authori-
ties, rcserving a definite decision until
the conclusion of this investigation.
"In the meantime the Emperor has
ordered that persons enormously desig-
mated as unemployed, and in conse-
ouence transported to Germany, should
be permitted to return to Belgium, II
they had not already returned, and thai
compulsory transportation of unem-
ployed Belgians to Germany be sus-
pended"
This official account of Emperor
williams action differs from a press
dispatch received from Amsterdam on
Thursday, which indicated that the IN
yestigation referred to had been COM
rleted. and that as a result the En-
peror had ordered repatriation OF Bel
gians wrongly sent to Germany as un-
employed.

From 400 to 800 Square

rBy Cable to The Tribune

London. March 1S.-The Germans
continued their great withdrawal on
the Somme front to-day, yielding be
tween 400 and 500 square miles of ter
ritory 10 the British and French along
front Of nearly seventy miles, eX-
tending from the Arras sector &c the
Disc River Pressing close on the
heels Of the rctresting enemy, the
French and British troops occupied
mile after mile of open ground, and
are still pushing forward.
The German retiremenc reached us
greatest proportions within the ArraS
and Noyon sahents. ~hich now have
been nearly eliminated. At points in
tho former section the British ad-
vanced to depth Of ten miles, while
tho French forward movement reached
a depth of twelve miles ar places within
the Noyon loop.
About seventy villages and towns fel'
into the hands OF the Allied forces dur
ing the day. The important fortlhed
centres of Peronne, Chaulnes and Nesie
were occupied by the British, while the
French took the strategic town oil
Noyon, the largest centre to iall IN the
German withdrawal.
Nesle Residents Cheer Allies
In the Noyon sector the British and
French forces joined hands in the ad-
vance, their lines temporarily overlap
ming for a distance Of several miles.
Together they entered Nesle this morn
ing. where they were greeted with
cheers by the remaining residents.
At almost every point along the
whole front the Allied soldiers are out
of the trenches, and for the first time
in months the cavalry of both the
French and British armies is operating
extensively in wide open territory. In
every direction mounted troops are
being sent forward ahead of the main
forces.
At few points have the opposing
troops met in battle. Even encounters
between German rear guards and the
Allies advanced units have been rare
so rapid has been the German retreat
and so cautious nave the French and
British commanders Deen to prevent
their soldiers from falling into pos
sible trap.
For the first time since the great re-
treat began the German War once TO-
day makes frank admission OF the move
ment, announcing the evacuation OF
Bapaume, Peronne, Roye and Noyon,
and stating that "our protecting troops
inflicted considerable losses on the
enemy and then gave way, as had been
ordered"
