SENSATIONAL HISTORY
OF COLOSSAL, BARGAIN
Russian Bolshivk and Anarchists in Deal With German
SOCIALIST Majority in Which Fate of Nation Perhaps
Entire Europe, Is at Stake-Ultimate Aim Is Peace

I While the German political crisis
was on. the dark forces" in Russia
made sweeping Roadway In gaining
control OF the bulk Of tho Muscovite
| army. When the climax came they had
the majority OF the troops virtually in
| the hollow Of their hands.
! CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS
SHOWS STARTLING PARALLEL
Now comes the chronology of events
of the last seven days, showing a
| startling parallel between the events
in Germany and Russia, and tending
strongly to bear out the story of the
| bargain.
On July ia week ago last Satur-
day-Bethmann-H ollwegs fall came to
pass
On the same day five of tho Russian
ministers resigned. The crisis at
Petrosrad. which had been brewing
for some days. became acute.
The following day the Russian Of
fensive stopped. within the reach OF
triumph.
All dispatches from Berlin, though
interpreted and rclayed In multi
colored ways, indicated to close OBJ
servers that the Reichstag had the
whip hand. and that tho peace resolu-
1ioh Woulu pass.
The next day-Monday, July IS
the Russians In Galicia began their
retreat
AT that tuncture. Hindenburg ap-
peared on the scene. Regardless OF
any and all plans or programs the
Socialists might have. he determined
to lose not a moment IN exploiting the
turn of the tide in Galicia to the full
est extent.
On Wednesday. July Is. the dark
forces" set the torch OF revolt afame
In Petrograd. To the army they had
preached that it was fighting the bat
tie or Foreigners" to the people at
home they carried the message that
the government was sacrificing the
revolution and freedom for the sake
OF foreigners
That day. after new violent street
lighting. the Russian capital was placed
under martial law.
GERMAN SOCIALISTS PAY
THEIR SHARE OF BARGAIN
For tho following day-Thursday,
July 19-the new Chancellor's speech
had been set 1t was delivered at 5
o'clock in the afternoon. What con-
nection the holding up OF the speech
had with the effect 1t was feared-or
desired-to have upon TIE Russians, is
matter of Guesswork. The fact Is.
that the Chancellor accepted the peace
resolution and that it was passed.
The German Socialists had paid their
share Of thef bargain.
Not until the following morning did
the world learn the full text OF DR..
Michaelis's speech.
But, like the Russian revolution.
this reported bargain is drawing It's
fateful circles immeasurably farther
and wider than It's makers had hoped
or feared.
In the very hour that DR.. Micha ellis
was making his speech. tho Bavarian
Prince Leopold made his great break
through" in Galicia. mcnacing 275
miles Of Russian front with being
rolled up and destroyed
Meanwhile. Berlin dispatches are
giving belatcd details of the garden
party at which the Kaiser chctted
with visible friendliness ana rnpre-
cedented informally with the Social
list leaders. who had been especially
invited.

kcrensky. whose elevation to virtual
dictatorship Of Russia was reported
yesterday. early to-day received the
formal grant OF unlimited powers
from the hands Of the two most pow
erful representative bodies-the Coun-
ell of Soldiers and workmen's Dele
gatos and the Council Of Peasants of, All
Russia.
In his hands alone rests tho task
of avertinE a complete military debacle
at the front. and crushing anarchy
at home.
The correspondent is able to reveal
exclusively, upon the highest author
ity. sensational chapter from the
most recent history of the dark
forces" that have almost succeeded in
bringing about this debacle and this
anarchy. 1t is as yet only whispered
in the inner circles Of the powers that
be. but it is destined to become the
property of the world before many
days have passed.
IT appears from this secret inforna-
tion that the present state of affairs
in Russia is the result Of the most CO.
lossal bargain in history-a bargain,
the Bolshiviki (Russian majority So
cialists) and anarchists. on one hand,
and the German Socialist majority and
probably part of the Centrists, on the
other. The fate Of a nation, perhaps
of all Europe. was the stake, Theobald
Won Bethmann-ITollweg head the
price. with his successors Endorsement
OF peace without annexations and in
IDENTITIES thrown in for good meas
ure. The ultimate aim of the bargain
ing parties was. and is. peace; not
necessarily separate Russo Teuton
peace. but a general peace formed by
Russia's elimination as active beIlis-
erent.
BARGAIN CONCLUDED AT
CONFAD IN STOCKHOLM
The bargain was concluded, II liz
alleged, at the recent confab in Stock
holm between Russian and German del
eGates. Significant in this connection,
perhaps. Is the fact that DR.. Matthias
Erzbergcr. leader OF the Ccntrist party,
whose shrewd maneuvers led directly
to HollweE's fall. to the formation Of
the ReichstaE's bloc. and to the pas
sage of the peace resolution, was with
Scheicemann and the other Socialists
at Stockholm.
The Russian ult imatum at those his.
toric, though, at the time, scarcely
noticed, conferences in the Swedish
capital is said to have been an abb
solute surrender by the German gov
ernment to the principle of peace
without anneHat:ons and !ndemnities'
Russia had abandoned her centuries
old dream for the possession of the
Dardanelles. The Russian Socialists.
who had forced this reconciliation upon
the provisional government, insisted
that il was worth equivalent conces-
sions by Germany. Both parties were
spurred on by President Wilson's doc
trine OF peace without victory"
Immediately upon the return OF the
Scheidemannites TO Germany began the
drive against Hollweg. When, on the
eve of the Reichstag's session. the then
Chancellor fatty refused TO subscribe
to the Russian and German Socialist
peace formula ended meanwhile in an
underground way by the Centrists and
by powerful influences in Austria. the
party bloc was formed. and Bethmann-
Hollweg was toppled into oblivion
Even to-day the masses in Germany
are still completely at sea MS to the

Risino Curve of Human Eneroy

AS matter of health, it will be much
better to begin the day earlier and end
1t earlier. Humanity has a definite
cycle of physiological changes that take
place during the twenty-four hours. In
the early morning, temperature, pulse
and respiration are lowest, but begin
to rise. They reach a maximum in the
early evening hours, between four and
six, and then begin to descend again.
1t is on the rising curve Of human
energy that the days work ought to
be done. Rest should be as far. as pos
sible during the hours when the cycle
of energy is on the descent. The pro-
posed scheme for daylight saving
would bring us back to be more in ac-
cord with the human physiological
cycle in the twenty-four hours than is
true at present.

Priest Invents Protective Device.

One of the Episcopal clergy of Mary
land, Rev. W. A. Crawford-Frost of
Baltimore. who already has several in
ventions TO his credit, has recently in
vented a device for the projection of
merchant vessels against torpedoes
fired from submarines. This is designed
purely for defensive purposes, and is
said to be of simple and inexpensive
nature. He has sent drawings of it
to Thomas A. Edison and to the naval
consulting board, and is offering it to
the governments of the United States,
France and England.-Living Church.
