 SHAkY

 which is not yet in sight.
 Government Powerless
 As at present constituted. the gov ernment is without means to enforce any of it's mandates except by appeals to the patriotism of the people. With out any strong central authority the masses realize that power is ill their own hands.
 The existing breach dates from the triumph of the revolution, when the council of workmen's and soldiers de puties issued instructions to the peo- pie 10 disregard the orders of the gov ernment, where these confiicted with those of the council In this connec- tion the Russgia yolia says today:
 "The position of the temporary gov ernment is most difficult. because it is not supported by any parliament. The council of delegates is live force, but it cannot take the place of a real parliament The situation is more difficult inasmuch as the revol- utionary council is not always clear and the Composition of the council it. self is not definite. On the other hand the council is a power in competition with the government,
 Still Hopeful
 We are far from the Deiief that there is any conflict which cannot be settled between the two bodies"
 Factories Disorganizes
 There is evidence that the council of deputies are endeavoring to infu ence the country D support the gov ernment Their task. however. is ren. dered difficult by few revolutionary and professional agitators- influences working against the success of a democracy. To these influences can be attributed in a large measure the disorsanization in the factories. where the wOrkingmen, who became easy prey for the socialistic propa- ganda, made preFosterous demands.
 Four-Hour Day and More
 These demands include d four-nour day, 700 per cent increase in wages, a months holiday. two months extra wages at Easter and Christmas, and general usurpation of owners privileges which would be tantamount to confscation of factories.
 The disorganization, which has con tinued for more than month. is espe- cially serious. With the completion of the Easter holidays it is expected there will be improvement in the fac tory situation.
 Army Better Than Ever
 Reports from the army are still con nicting. but in general they appear to show improvement in discipline. In for the coming planting season, Minister of War and Navy GuchkoG has ordered that soldiers more than 40 years of age who can be spared shall return to their homes for work in the fields as measure uo relieve the grain shortage.
 Jews Endangered
 From only a, few interior points are there disquierng rumors. Kishinev still reports attempts being made to organize 8 massacre of Jews an dthe intelligent classes and also asrarian
