The refuge OF every human soul is
the hope of divine pardon. None are
30 good as 10 be beyond the need OF
Il. The great message OF the Gospel
Is comprehended within the word OF
the old seer. Let the wicked forsake
his ways. and the unrighteous man

unto the Lord. and he Will have
mercy upon him. and 10 our God,
for He will abundantly pardon"
All sorts OF mere ethical isms and
ologies rise and flourish for a brief
day and then pass away into the
limbo OF forgotten things. because
they do not satisfy a human souls
deep need OF forgiveness. The Cos
pei that is winning the world is
Gospel OF pardon.

Gerard Tells Wilson
Kaiser Ignores u. S,
Says Germany Will Not Mod
ify U-Boat War-Failure
Would Aid Peace

Washington, March ia personal
report on conditions in Germany and
the events leading UP to the break
between the country and the United
States was made to President Wilson
to-day by James w. Gerard. former
American Ambassador at Berlin. Az
terward it was learned that there was
nothing in the report to change the
situation from the viewpoint of the
United States.
The former Ambassador expressed
his belief that Germany is stalking ev-
erything on the ruthless submarine
campaign and that failure of this would
brighten prospects for peace. He was
with the President for more than an
hour. repeating and amplifying the
statement already made TO Secretary
Lansing, in which he said Germany
was determined to put no restrictions
upon the relentless operations of SUBJ
marines, despite the prospect Of war
with the United States.
The President congratulated Mr..
Gerard upon the manner IN which he
handled the difficult situation in Ber-
lin.
After his visit 10 the White House
Mr.. Gerard went to New York, where a
reception is 70 be given in his honor
tomorrow. His plans for the future
nre indefinite. A severe cold is giving
him trouble. and he will seek a rest as
soon as possible.

essary to charge Immediately some
person trusted by the people to form
a new government. 1t is impossible
to linger, since delay means death.
Praying God that the responsibility
in this hour will not fall upon a
crowned head"
Later President Rodzianko sent
the following to the Emperor:
"The position is becoming more
serious. 1t is imperative that immc.
date measures be taken, because to-
morrow will be too late. The last
hour has come, when the fate Of the
fatherland and the dynasty is being
decided"
Similar kilograms were sent TO all
the commanders at the front, with an
appeal 10 use their influence with
the Emperor in support of the
Dumas action. General Alexis Brus-
siloff, commander in chief of the
armies of the Southwestern front,
and General Nicholas Ruzsky, com
mander of the Northern armies, re-
piled promptly.
The former sent this message
Have fulfilled my duty before
fatherland and Emperor" General
Ruzsky's reply read: Commission
accomplished"
The new Russian Cabinet is
coalition government. It represents
the Octobrist, the Constitutional
Democratic and the Labor parties OF
the Duma. The German influence
appears now to be entirely eliminated
from the government Of Russia.

Fate Is Recalled

Berne. Switzerland (via Parls)'
March l5.-The crews of armed Amer
lean merchantmen who venture TO hre
upon German submarines before q
state of war exists between Germany
and the United States must expect 10
meet the fate Of Captain Fryatt, warns
the Muenchner "Neueste Nachrichten'
a copy of which has reached Berne, IN
commenting on the announcement OF
the State Department that American
merchantmen will be armed.
1--WE assume" the newspaper says,
"that President Wilson realizes the
fate to which he is subjecting his ar
tillery men. According to the German
prize laws, it is unneutral support OF
the enemy if a neutral ship takes part
in bostilities. If such a ship opposes
the prize court, then it must be treated
as an enemy ship.
"The prize rules specify that II the
crews of such ships. without being at
tached to the forces OF the enemy 'ahe
part in hostilities or make forcible re-
sistance they may be treated according
to the usages of war.
"If President Wilson, knowing these
provisions Of international law. pro-
ceeds TO arm American merchantmen
he must assume responsibility for the
eventuality that American seamen will
meet the fate of Captain Fryatt.
The Captain Fryatt referred to
in the above despatch was Captain
Charles Fryatt, of the Great Eastern
Railway steamer Brussels. He was
tried before German naval court
martial in July, 1916, and sentenced to
death or charge that he had at
tempted TO ram a German submarine.
The sentence OF the court-martial was
executed.

The revolution was brought about
by a union Of the Duma, the army
and the people. 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 VI. Rod
zianko informed the Emperor, then
at the front, that the hour had
struck when the will of the people
must prevail.
Even the Imperial Council realized
the gravity Of the situation and add
ed its appeal to that of the Duma
that the Emperor should take steps
to give the people a policy and gov
ernment in accordance with their de-
sires in order that there should be no
interference with carrying on the
war to a victorious ending.
The Emperor hastened back from
the front, TO meet a new government
and demand for parliamentary gov
ernment. He abdicated.

staff of the temporary govern
ment: Michael V. Rodzianko, n. V.

V. Alexieff, former chief Of staff,
had been offered the military dicta-
torship.

Petrogra1. March 15.-The three
DAYS revolution that has unsested tho
Gar and destroyed the bureaucracy
has been one of the most remarkable
IN history. Beginning with minor food
riots and labor strikes, the cry for food
reached the hearts of the soldiers, and
one by one the regiments rcbelled
until 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.
Although considerable fighting took
place, il is not believed that the cas-
ualties will exceed 500. So far as is
known, no foreigners were injured.
The early period OF the uprising. be-
ginning week ago, bore the character
rather of a mock revolution staged for
an immense audience. Cossacks
charging down the street did so in 4
half-hesrted fashion, plainly without
malice or intent TO harm the crowds
which they playfully dispersed. The
troops exchanged good-natured raillery
with the working men and women, and
as they rode were cheered by the popu-
lace.

production, which was using the whole
city as a stage.
Until Sunday night this pageant con-
tinued without serious interruption
Then in a fash the whole scene lost IT'S
theatric quality; it became genuine
revolution.
The regiments had received an order
from the commandant 10 fire upon peo-
ple assembled in the street. 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 offence was that they were
hungry and were asking the govern
ment to supply bread. The Nolynskl
regiment shot its officers and deserted.
Several others followed. and a pitched
battle began between the troops who
