GERMAN INFLUENCES BLAMED
For Woes of the Russian People, Says
Reuters Correspondent.

London, March l6.-Reuter's Petrograd
correspondent sends the following dis.
patch concerning the Russian revolution
under date of March IA:
"Your correspondent has been in the
streets both night and day for the last
three days He has seen long lines OF
hungry men, women and children and
has seen the wanton firing of rifles, ma
chine guns and civil war in the main
thoroughfares, but has not heard a single
word against war.
"A shortage of food, the lack of or
ganization and the neglect of the most
elementary precautions are popularly
sscribed to German influences. This Is
a word of provocation on every lip With
combined fervor warriors, religionaries-
all Russians-resolyed the determination
of these influences.
"The killing of Rasputin was the
match that set fire to the vast heap of
patriotic determination that Russia
wouki deserve well of her allies if she
would give herself the chance. The fire
quickly spread, ran from class to class,
from civilians to troops. II smouldered
in Petrograd on Saturday, burst into
fame on Sunday and TO a confiagration
yesterday. This morning your CORE
spondent hears that its purpose has been
achieved. All of the regiments in Pet
rograd have declared for the Duma and
the people and the naval barracks have
been opened to enable sailors to make
common cause"

he has undertaken too much and en-
deavored to assume the responsibility of
too many of the tasks involved in the
management of the school, He is to be
credited with fine desire to aid to the
extent of his strength and ability in
carrying out the wishes of the board.
The committee believes that a better di-
vision of labor will lend to greater eff
cheney especially with respect to the
management of the farm.
From the testimony taken at the
hearings, the committee is of the unani-
nous opinion that there is absolutely no
foundation to the reports that the chill
dren are made to suffer from abusive
treatment The great weight of evidence
would 60 to show that the children are
well treated well fed and their interests
solicitonsly attended to. The living
quarters of the children are kept in the
best OF order and cleanliness is evidently
an unbroken law OF the school.
"Some testimony was given which
would tend to show that some Of the
children were not always clothed as
warmly as could be desired. 1t was
learned that some of the boys were al
lowed to work out of doors during the
cold weather when they were without
sufficient clothing. This condition, how
ever. did not prevail TO such a degree az
to warrant charge OF abuse.
Much creditable testimony was given
with respect to the friendly interest tax
en- in the children and it il believed
that when the school is established in
the new quarters, which will be ready
for occupancy this coming summer, the
children viii be much better cared for
than is possible under existing condi-
tions"

touch to tremendous theatre produc.
tion, which was using the whole city as
stage. ...e..-
Until Sunday night this pageant con.
tinued without serious interruption.
Then in a flash the whole scene lost
its theatrical quality; it became gen
uine revolution.
The regiments had received an order
from the commandant to fire upon peo-
Pile assembled in the streets. This
caused immediate dissension among the
troops, who did not understand why
they should be compelled to take vio-
lent measures against fellow citizens,
whose chief offense was that they were
hungry and we're asking the government
to supply bread. Several regiments de-
serted, and pitched battle began be-
tween the troops, who stood with the
government and those who, refusing to
obey orders, had mutinied.
A long night battle took place be-
tween the mutineer regiments and the
police at the end of st. Catherine canal,
Immediately in front of the historic
church built over the spot where Alexan.
der II was killed by bomb.
The police finally fed to rooftops, all
over the city and were seen no more in
the streets during the entire term of the
fighting.
Still, on Monday morning, the govern
ment troops appeared to control all the
principal squares of the city. Then came
a period when it was impossible to dis.
tinguish one side from the other. There
was no definite line between the fac
tions. The turning point appeared to
come about 3 O'Clock in the afternoon.
For two hours the opposing regiments
passively confronted each other along
the wide Liteiny prospect in almost
silence.
From time to time emissaries from
the revolutionary side rod to the oppos-
ing ranks and exhorted them to Join the
side of the people. For while the re-
suit seemed to hang in the balance. The
troops appeared irresolute, awaiting the
commands Of their officers, who them
selves we're in doubt as to what they
should do.
DesultoTy firing continued among the
side streets between groups of govern
ment troops and revolutionists, but the
on whose decision the outcome [
rested still confronted each ether with
guns and rifles in readiness.
Suddenly a few vOlleys were ex-
'hsngeii there was another period Of !

Washington, ID. G., March l6.-
President Wilson is expected to
make a move to prevent the
threatened railroad strike after to-
days cabinet meeting. The gen
eral impression prevails in official
circles that before going further
the president viii appeal to both
the railroads and their men not to
plunge the country into railway
strike at this critical juncture in
international affairs. Further than
that his purposes have not been
disclosed.
Some Of the presidents advisers
hold the view that he has full con-
stitutional authority to take the
railroads and draft officials and
men to operate them on the ground
of a national emergency.

A new national cabinet is announced
with Prince Lvoff as president of the
council and premier, and the other Of
fees held by the men who are close to
the Russian people.
For several days Petrograd has been
the scene of one of the most remarka BILE
risings in history. Beginning with minor
food riots and labor strikes, the Try for
food reached the hearts of the soldiers,
and one by one regiments rebelled, un-
til finally those troops which had for a
time stood loyal to the government,
gathered up their arms and marched into
the ranks of the revolutionists.
The president of the duma, Michael
V. Rodzianko, was the leading figure
among the deputies who unanimously
decided to oppose the imperial order for
a dissolution of the House. They con-
tinued their sessions and NJ. Rodzianko
informed the emperor. then at the front.

of the people must prevail. Even the

the situation and added its appeal to
