The great crime Of the late govern

into complete disorganization and SUD

state of affairs might even have mad
dangerous effects on the issue OF the
war. The increase OF popular discon-

people was such that the Russian revo--

most bloodless in history.
"The late government was completely
isolated. which confirms the fact that
no one had confidence in IL. The great
events of the last few days make II
possible for the people to gain fresh
confidence. These events will increase
popular enthusiasm and multiply the

representatives of the soldiers and
working classes, it is reported, have
reached a full agreement to waive all
minor differences until the meeting

fair way toward solving the great
est problem with which, perhaps,
any nation was ever confronted.
Order is growing with incredible
rapidity out Of the chaos Of the past

gathering up the broken threads Of
national and municipal life, is striv-

country in motion SO that the con-
duct Of the war will suffer as little
as possible from the revolution.

Washington, March 16.-The effect OF
the Russian revolution on the German
people MAJ be tremendous. Germany
has been taught to believe that the
European war was inaugurated By Rus
sia for aggressive purposes, Germany
democratic leaders repeatedly pointed
TO Czarism as the evil spirit dominating
the Entente. The object Of the Central
Powers was proclaimed TO be the over
throw OF the Russian autocratls menace.
Therefore, the Russian revolution may
profoundly move German democracy.
This is probably its greatest disilu-
sionment since the war began.
