ENTHUSES RUSSIANS.
Washington is Assured That Provis-
ional Government Has No Thought
of Making Peace.

Further encouraging reports from
Russia came yesterday in dispatch
to the State Department, telling Of
the effect of President Wilson's war
address, and declaring that Russia,
under the new provisional Govern
ment was no more likely to abandon
the war without achieving her object
than was the United States.
Recalling that one of the impelling
causes for the overthrow of the impe-
ial regime was the belief that it was
planning separate peace, the dis
patch said the revolution would eN-
pedite the defeat of Germany and the
estabE shment of a general peace.
Prompt recognition accorded the
new Government by the United States
gave encouragement and help to the
Council of Ministers and their sup
porters, the department was inform
ed, while President Wilson's ailuSion
to the Russian revolution in his adj
dress to Congress made deep, last
ing impression on the people. The adj
dress has been translated, together
with other Of the Presidents utter
ances concerning American participa-
ton, which are being given wide cir
culation in pamphlet freely dlstri-
buted.
No people, according to the report,
so circumstanced, ever mad made
greater sacrifices for freedom than
the Russians, and they fully. realize
that separate peace would leopard
ize all they have gained. The Amerl-
can form of government has been
taken as the model of the Russian
people, and the participation OF the
United States has infused in them a
confident spirit and imbued them with
a firm determination.
f If Americans are incensed at the
intrigues and undetermined machlna-
tions of Germany in their midst and
on their borders, the message decla1-
es, the Russians have fourfold cause
for like resentment, and will make
any sacrifice rather than conclude a
separate peace.

THE GERMAN AWAKENING

As is observed by a cotemporary'
Tho outside world can gain only an
inkling of internal conditions in Ger
manv from such reports as the Ger
man newspapers are permitted 70
publish of industrial and political un-
rest in that country. The extent %
the strikes and attendant dlsturban-
ces that have taken place in Berlin
and other large cities, can cnly be
guessed at, as obviously the censor
ship would require the intimidation
of such occurrences. Enough mas
leaked out, however, to demonstrate
that the underfed laborers in German
establishments, including even some
of the great munitions pants, nave
engaged in at least sporadic revoits'
and that political dissatisfaction IS
rife and growing.
It must be remembered that the
nrecariousness of the military situa-
ton has nothing to do with this seeth-
ing of the German cauldron. The Ger
man people are being assicuously fed
on lies as to the real position of their
country in the great war. 1t has been
officially stated to them that thele
armies are achieving great success
ON the western front, and the Kaiser
has even congratulated his noble son
on his remarkable prowess IN beating
the French. A most optimistic plc-
lure is drawn for them of the results
Of the naval raid on Dover, IN winch
the Germans lost two torpedo ooac
destrovers without even gripping a
British ship, and the people are tod
bv the German Admiralty that the
German forces sunk one British ship
with torpedo, probably SUNK an
other, and seriously damaged seVeral
more by artillery fire, Every defeat
is converted into glorious victory
for home consumption.
If the German workmen are unruly
when they suppose their battles are
being won by land and sea- what Will
be their attitude when the authofl-
ties are at last forced to tell them the
unpleasant truth ABOUT the military
situation? What will be their re-
Spouse when they learn that their
heaviest sacrifices made in behalf OF
selfish rulers have been made IN
vain?
There will be an awakening in Ger
many when the German people shall
at last get hold of the data upon
which to make a true calculation OF
the profits and losses of the enter
prise into which they were driven by
the pride and lust of those to whom
they committed for safekeeplng their
lives, their fortunes and their honor.

NORWAY DEPENDS ON U. S,
If Exports Are Forbidden, Country
Faces Starvation.

Christiana, Norway, April "a
Newspaper reports that America
would cease exports to neutrals nave
caused much anxiety here Norway
is entirely dependent upon America
for grain, sugar, salt pork and othef
provisions, petroleum and certain I'd"
materials. The export of these articles
from Norway is forbidden, as the
country is in need of them.
The country's supply of grain IN
Guiding the coming crops is sufficient
until September if none is exported.
The embargo on American oil would
hit Norway especially hard as the
fishing fleet uses oil-driven motors.
Unless the United States permits
exports to Norway under special IL
censes forbidding re-exports from
this country all of Norway will soon
be on the verge Of starvation.

MODERN GHoULs.

ats bad enough to steal from
the living, much less from the dead"
declared Police Justice Crutchfield IN
Richmond yesterday when Harry Du
Val, thirty years old, faced him on
the charge of stealing flowers from
graves in Hollywood cemetery. Il
must go out there one of these days
and / don't want anybody stealing
even grass from my grave"
Dn Val was sentenced to four
months at hard labor on the roads.
He said that he took the flowers to
replant them in his frontyard.
Du Val was carrying pansies IN his
shirt bosom and other flowers IN his
arms when arrested. 1t developed IN
court that he was converted at tent
revival meeting year or so ago and
has since been active in the Bible
class of a church in Richmond.
The action of Justice Crutchfield
will be heartily affirmed not only in
Richmond, but throughout the state
During the past quarter. Of century
or more complaints have been made
to the authorities of Alexandria of
vandalism in our grave yards. Not
only have flowers been stolen, but
in one instance many years ago a
tombstone was missing from a lot
1t was later found that it was being
utilized as a front step at dwelling
half mile away.

OBNOXIOUS STATUE.

Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, said
recently in the United States Senate:
Frederick the Great is now the
ideal of the Prussian military au-
tocracy, Only a year or two ago the
United States was presented a statue
of Frederick the Great, and it is
standing before our War College now.
NV own opinion is that the statue Of
Frederick the Great ought to be gent
ly and quietly removed from its spot
and dropped in some quiet place IN
the Potomac River, where it will not
longer serve to give dignity and nom
or to this cruel and INSCRIPTIONS
prince. The imperial German gov
eminent presented us with its ideal
in the statue of Frederick the enl-
bodiment of war and rapacity and
broken treaties. France presented us
with the French ideal, Bartholdfs
wonderful conception, standing guard
at the entrance to our greatest port
New York where all the world
may see Liberty enlightening the
world" God bless France and speed
her prohecy.
While we would not 60 as far as
Senator Owen and throw the statue
into the Potomac river, we think this
effigv of a despot, who had consci-
ence like a flint, should be yelled at
this time. 1t is an insult to our free
institutions to have the statue Of a
heartless tyrant standing in close
proximity to our War College.
