, pers and it is therefore quite fami ] liar with the Russian revolutionists. Hence it would be mistake to ima- zine that they are not to some de- gree as familiar with men and things in this country as in their own and that they understand that Root has been always connected with reaction and privilege and tory ism in the United States.
 It is highly improbable however that there will be effected any alli ance or a peace with the Central ! Powers upon the part of Russia as 1 long as the Kaiser stands there. That is made quite clear by the re- volutionist manifesto to the soldiers. 1 They know that this war began with : the imperiallsts and capitalists and they know right well that the very 1 first thing that junkerism and prob ably capitalism would endeavor to do if triumphant in Germany's tri- umph would be to return the old system of imperialistic bureaucracy to it's throne in Russia.
 Indications are however mani 1 festing themselves that the Ger mans themselves are slowly becom- ing revolutionary and have no mind to be sacrificed much further in the interests of the Kaiser or the capi- talists. letter fromsa socialist in Zurich makes this clear enough after a visit to Dr. Liebknecht who was doing hard labor for treason. The Russian revolution has made it clear to the German masses, that time is coming when it will be the easiest way of ending the war by making common cause with the Russian rcvo'utionists and establish ing an industrial democracy in Germany.
 That such condition would be as displeasirg to the capitalists ot France. England and the United States is without doubt quite likely. But that the masses of the people would support war against a Ger man republic is literally unthink- able. There has been no such en- thusiasm for the present war that it would warrant the belief that it is strong enough to carry the mas ses beyond all barriers and make them attempt to justify the destruc- tion of a people who have taken the government into their own hands.
 AS we see it this war begun by capitalists is to end in a workmen's revolt. The Russian proletariat has shown the way. The middle classes began it with objections to imperial autocracy and they were engulfed in the revolution as soon as real re- volutionists asserted themselves.
 The German socialist Adolphus Fureer, writing from Switzerland says: We do not expect sudden overthrow of our monarchy. For a time for weeks, perhaps for months we will proceed slowly. Cooler people have prevailed. Germany is not Russia. The Russian people have been trained in rebellion. We are not We are only two years old. A little schooling and then we will come up to the measurement.
 This is the same Fureer who now cannot return to Germany but who let out the ominous fact that the great number of soldiers stationed upon the Swiss borders are those who will not fight. That at Aachen four trainloads of soldiers were brought back from the front in Bel gium where they had mutinied and large numbers of whom were shot The beginning of the new Inter- national is tinting the sky with red in German and Austria as well as in Russia. That 1t will extend to all countries before normal conditions return seems certain. It begins to look as monarchists and imperialists had bitten off considerably more than they can chew.
