Men in Power for War.

The TaEeblatt says: "One fact about
which there can be no doubt is that the
leaders of the new movement above all
other things intend a determined pros
ecution of the wa and will do all in
their power to avoid any friction that
may hinder their plan"
In the same vein the Lokal Anzeiger
comments: I'VE in Germany have
every reason to watch Soberly the
further developments. We should be
careful to guard against the belief that
these events will decide peace or war
Only one matter should cause US worry.
and that is the fate of the many Ger
mans throughout Russia. against whom
constituencies men may arouse the
ignorant mob to save themselves from
justice. ---
The Frankfurter Zeitung says: THE
significance of these events on the
progress of the war cannot be judged
from fragmentary news. 1t Taay be as
sumed that the new men in power will
attempt to put new vigor into the fight
against the central powers, especially
as nothing did so much to undermine
the old regime as the accusations that
il was seeking an unsatisfactory peace
with Germany. But to convert these
intentions into acts at the present
stage of the war will be difficult. par
ticularly as internal weakness is sure
to follow the events in st. Petersburg.
Preach War to the Knife.
AMSTERDAM. March 16. via London,
March lin discussing the Russian
revolution the Nolks Zeitung of CO.
logne says:
ut should not be forgotten that all
those elements which have undertaken
the revolution and now hold the fate
of the capital i'll their hands preached
war to the knife with everything Ger
man. They hate us not less than the
government which they have just over
thrown. These elements which
have now seized supreme power will
do everything to prosecute the ma
tional war against Germany.

GERMANS REALIZE
SPIRIT OF REVOLT
Under No DeIusion That New
Rulers of Russia Will
Abandon War.
HEADED BY SUPERPATRIOTS

Rv Associated Press.
BERLIN March Is, via London.
March 1.-THE German papers still
hesitate to discuss at length Russian
developments. due to the confusion in
the reports of the progress of events.
The Norwaerts, the socialist organ. is
the only paper to 60 into details in the
expression of its views. The Norwaerts
says:
This revolution is not. as might first
appear, the rebellion of people who
want peace against a war-like gov
eminent 1t is true that hungry and
war-tired crowds in the labor quarters
of St Petersburg played Il decisive role,
but they We're only a tool. Their dis
satiSfacti was used by political lead
ers who are anything but pacifsts. nor
is the revolution one of landless men,
but revolt of national superpatriots
and Russian liberals like Milukoff and
Rodzianko.
Two Courses for Liberals.
This war party has crowded czarism
into a corner because the latter DEM
onstrated its incapacity to carry the
war into victory for Russia. There
are only two possibilities of success to
the Russian liberals: one is a great
victory over Germany and the fulfill
ment of all pan-Slavic desires of con-
quest: the other is the hurried con-
CluSion of an honorable peace. Be
tween these the new Russian govern
ment must choose.
VIII il recognize that the first of
these aims is impossihility. while
the second is within reach" The ques-
ton is will it. desiring the first solu
ton. be forced by the influence to
which it owes it's victory to accept the
second. II the Russian government
does not want peace the Russian people
will demand it and then the remark
able development which helped the war
department to victory Will sweep be-
yond the men who are at present in
power.
The mass of the laboring classes of
the Russians in the cities are not ready
TO support war to finish. This is
testified to by the speeches of Chkheidse
and Kerenski in the duma. The new
men in Russia should learn from Ger
many that their fate depends on their
own decision. They are free to choose
whether they want peace or war.
The other German newspapers frank
~ recognize that the Russian revolu- |
ton is under the direction of men who
are committed to a policy Of vigorous
prosecution of the war.
