deviltry has not been equalled any
where.
Why the Russian Army Blew Up.
The Russian soldiers, Of course,
shared in the universal rejoicing
when the old corrupt government
fell.
The Germans now appealed to them
with handbills and circulars declar-
ing that the first result Of the revolu-
ton was to be the division Of all the
land in Russia among the peasants
and workers, but as the division
would be made at once, every peasant
must hasten homo or he would not
receive bis share. Some Of these an
nouncements had a semi-oficial ap-
pearance and all seemed to be au-
thentic.
AS soon as the news ran along the
trenches whole regiments threw down
their arms and bolted for home. The
railroads were speedily packed and
congested with a vast horde scram-
bling frantlcally to get into range for
air these good things.
For weeks every train moving form
the front was a spectacle the like Of
which has never been seen on this
earth. Men rode on brake beams,
couples, air pipes, door steps and the
roofs Of cars. Hundreds fell off and
were killed.
When they had made their way
home they found, OF course, that
there was no distribution Of land, and
not likely to be one.
1t was this exodus, purely the work
of German agents, that figured in the
dispatches as the Wholesale deser-
lions on the battle 'front.'" 1t shat
tered discipline, scooped the inside
from some of the lines and paralyzed
military operations. Altogether it
was worth more to the czar than a
victory on the field and almost as
much as pacifist speech from Vel
low Streak in the United tSates Sen
ate.
Free Speech, Free Press in Muscovy.
You will want to know why the
government tolerated these naturali2-
ed Americans that were active dis
seminators of treason, the German
press agents on the front and the rest
Of this perilous scullduggery.
The answer is that with the COM
ing of the revolution speech and the
press became absolutely free in Rus
STA and tat first this was supposed to
include freedom to oyerturn the gov
eminent and betray the country to
Germany, If anyone desired.
The wise men Of Russia have learn
ed better since. They have learned
or are learning that when democracy
is fighting for its life with a power
like Germany, remorseless, savage and
cunning, bent upon absolute DONNA
ton of the world. all other consider
ations must for the time being wait
upon the supreme necessity of rescu-
ing liberty.
1t is a wholesome lesson. We
might take some wadS of it in the
United States.
