OUTBREAK AT wILHELMSHAVEN

TT is a little premature, we believe, to
L talk of revolution i'm Germany. An
Allied military victory Of the first magni-
tude will be necessary before the forces Of
advanced liberalism can act vigorously
and successfully. The Hoheuzollern ira
dition is still strong and cannot be
excsed until the religion Of frightfulness
has been definitely driven out of the
hearts of men. The mailed fist remains
an idol. because it has not been crushed.
But the seeds of revolution are i'm the
ground and they will be swollen into
bloom by more German blood.
The outlook recently recalled one Of
Napoleon's utterances at st. Helena. 81

What was true then is true now. and
the President unerringly put his finger on
the CruX Of the situation when he decided
that the power to make war must he
taken from the Hohenzollerns. They con.
sttute the peril to the human race Their
power must he taken from them either by
revolution or by the armed might Of the

RUSSIA'S NEW PROMISE

TODAY the railroad trains in Germany

rushing troops from the Russian lines to
nh the appalling gaps that Haig has torn
in the Kaisers Iegions Eut now Rus
sa's new Cabinet announces that it will
support with it's entire strength" the
cause of the Allies.
OF course. this promise must he dis
counted. Provisional Governments in
Russia ave indeed provisional rather than
provident. But any help at all must be
considered more than we could reason
ably hope tor. since the plans of Ger.
many's foes are now made on the basis
that Russia for many months is to count
as nil Can kerensky bring industrial
peace To Russia? If SO, we can begin TO
count on military assistance from that
country.
1t is never wise to reason from the
premise that mems natures differ very
much i'm different parts of the world. We
doubt not that the reason that impelled
$4,000 men in our Pacific shipyards to go
ON strike recently was the same as that
at the bottom of the many Russian
strikes If our shipyard workers had
struck for peace they would not he at
work today. In some Russian factories
the workers demanded and got 100 and
$50 per cent increases in wages. But
they went back to work when they got
them. And $50 per cent raise did not
look very unreasonable To men whose
wages allowed them to live little better
than dogs.
1t is no more reasonable to suppose
that the Russian people would abandon
Poland to Germany than that the French
would give up their claim to Alsace OF
that the pacitists are more numerous in
Russia than I'm any other invaded coun
