MILUKOFF.

1t is difficult to say at this time who will rank as the greatest and most in- huential figure in the Russian revo- lution but many of those familiar with conditions in the land of the Tsars in cline to the belief that history will accord the greater glory to Prof. Paul N. Miiukoff who was made Foreign Minister in the newFgovernment. Mi lukoff, like the present head of the United States, is a college professor. He began his career as an educator as professor of history at the Univers- ity of MoskOw, his alma mater. While engaged in that capacity he wrote numerous books and magazine arti- cles dealing with Russian history, and animated by democratic and liberal spirit which soon brought down upon his head the wrath of the police. He took refuge in Bulgaria, where he was engaged in organizing the govern ment university in Sofia, On his re- turn to Russia he again embarked on career of liberal propaganda and gained such disfavorA in government circles that he was given 8 one-way ticket over the Siberian railroad to a penal camp for political malcontents. After time he was released, but his spirit was not broken, and he was ban ished from the country. He took refuge in the United States, and be- came member of the faculty of the University of Chicago, in the mean time making 8 close study of the gov ernment of the United States During the Russian revolt of 1905 he deliver ed a series of lectures which have since been brought out in book form.
 Milukon was a thorough democrat, with socfalistic tendencies, when he was again permitted to return to Russia. He soon became the lead CT of the Constitutional Democratic party, and was elected to the third Duma just 10 yeafs ago. and was re- elected to the present Duma. AS editor of the Reich, the great liberal newspaper of Russia, and as an ora- tor and agitator, he has in the last 10 years made powerful impression up- on the minds of his countrymen. Prof. Milukoff has always distrusted Ger many and the Teuton influence in his country.

GERMAN MANUFACTURERS WORRIED OVER INDUSTRIAL SITUATION AS1 RESULT OF U. 5. WAR DECLARATION

enemy we no longer have our handS tied and there is no longer the fear that we might have to make an un- dignified peace through exhaustion. The slogan is now victory or death with honor"
 Dr. Hasslacher of the Rheinische Steel works of Duisburg, answering the questions laid stress on the declar- ation that nothing must interfere with ruthless submarine warfare. He says:
 'This is the only way to impose on Americans respect for Germany's po- litical and economic existence. Peace will ensure our quick economic revival and enable us to find our own way in the world in spite of America"
 Privy Councillor Kirdoff of the Gel |senkirchen Mining Co.,, says: Unrestricted submarine warfare could not be bought too dearly at any price. The German government ought to have realized that in time and so avoided the useless loss of many Ger man lives. America as an open enemy will hurt us less than before" Herr Kirdoff) regards forecast of the future as fruitless.
 Councillor Springorum of the great Hoesch steel and iron foundries ex- pressed similar sentiment and is con- |fident that means will be found later to strengthen Germany's economic po- sitionr against America.
 An unnamed Rhenish industrial leader says in answer to the second question::
 "The economic consequences of a Characterization war are extremely serious. We cannot do without certain l-%, America which, as we'll as other enemy countries, will systematically bar our products
 Tn answer to. the third question he says: we have only a few. means of reprisal, but it is most difficult to make ourselves completely independ- ent"
 He advises the strictest economy and thinks that American oil may be suc- ceeded by more extended use of Ger man coal.
 Paul Stellar, general secretary of the Industrial Union of Cologne. thinks that difficult times will come after and not during the war. He says that great hopes had been built on America for the reconstruction period and that German manufacturers had bought and paid for large quantities of raw ma- terials in America for post bellum de- livery. Herr Steler says, however, that the fact that Germany is now compelled to be self dependent and form a closed commercial state will be rather favorable to her develop ment.
 Herr Stelhler suggests nationwide introduction of various substitutes for former American imports and te opening up of hitherto neglected channels for those things for which substitutes cannot be found He thinks copper may be obtained, for instance. from Serbia and Poland, and predicts a glorious future for Ger many through the speeding up of her technical production.
