THE RUSSIAN PENDULUM.

A+
 { The Russian nation has swung from autocracy to democracy so vio lently that the extreme socialistic $ ate is the result.
 Democracy is an economical as we'll as a political ideal, according to the writers on the subject; and the Russians insist on getting 100 per cent democracy.
 The Russian democracy is differ ent from that enjoyed by other dem cratic states. It is not hampered by convention or precedent. The rights of the forces inimical to the best in- terests of genuine democracy are not intrenched.
 The Russian nation has learned of some of the failures in other lands, and, like the lady who nas read of persons being buncoed by sharpers, is careful to a fault.
 It is unjust to judge Russia accord ing to the standards of older democ- racies.

KAISER AND GROWN PRINCE.

The world is speculating much regarding the future of the German Hohenzollern dynasty,
 Will the kaiser be allowca to hold his throne? That is the question.
 Suppose he does hold ii What then lies ahead for .he German peo- pie?
 Tn the course of time the kaiser will die. and the present crown prince become king.
 II so happens that the crown prince is as popular throughout Germany as a rattlesnake in sitting room. The crown prince is reputed to be at the head of the war party and this has not added to his popularity; for de. spite the great war in which they have engaged, the masses of the Ger. man people are no more fond of war tbar the masses oG other nations.

SUBMARINES AND GERMANS.

It is said that as soon as the Ger man people realize that the vaunted submarine ruthlessness is failure that it cannot "starve gland"-they will demand an instant peaceful set clement of the war, with sufficient concession by the German military autocracy to insure peace.
 In this connection the drive in Flanders, aiming to weaken the Ge-- man submarine bases. will do much to force the German people to realize the 1utilty of frightfulness on the high seas.
 And in due course the necessary in- formation will become known in Ger many. News of this kind will take time to circulate, but sooner or later the true situation will become known.

COPENHAGEN, April 9-Talk of

developments on this line appear

he sees signs of the dawn of peace

"The fortress walls of our enemies
are beginning to show cracks" he
writes. "The events in Russia por-

in mind.
