TIDE IS TURNING
IN ALL RUSSIA
End Of BoIsheviki Regime Is
In Sight
REVOLUTION IS DISSOLvING
No Separate Peace Is Now Expected
-Washington Officials Encour-
aged BY The Turn OF
Events.

Washington.-The tide has turner
In Russia. The fungus revolution
against the provisional government /!
dissolving and, while Il Is far too soor
to determine what the future holds
for that unhappy country. II is not toe
soon to foresee the end OF the Bol
sheviki regime. This Is the substance
Of a series Of rumors, reports ant
facts which have filtered through tc
the Government In Washington dur
ing the past "a hours. The dispatches
bearing these tidings are coming from
sundry sources, some Of them from
Moscow by way Of Persia, SOME from
Finland by way of Sweden and some
through the censored lines OF com
munlcation out Of Petrograd.
Notwithstanding the fact that these
messages have originated at points
far from each other, they seem to
agree upon the vital circumstances
of the revolution. They differ some
what as to details, which is to be
expected, but they are in accord upon
the more important phases of the sit
uation.
And II can be stated upon authority
that feeling Of pronounced hopeful
ness has been aroused in official
circles in Washington. This does not
mean that the Administration has pro.
found confidence in the success OF
the Kerensky counter.drive or that II
looks to any of the personalities now
in the forefront of Russian affairs as
that country's deliverer. But 1t does
mean that the news is Of far more
encouraging character than any that
has been reported officially or unofii.
cially to the State Department since
the Maximalist coup last week.
The general burden of the messages
from Russia Is to the effect that no
separate peace will be negotiated by
Russia for long time to come, If at
all. in other words, no party can live
for long in power there by advocating
an immediate surrender to Germany
And as long as no truce is consented
to by the Russians Germany dare not
withdraw many more of her men from
the eastern front Advices from Ber
lin indicate. moreover, that no faith
is placed by Germany in the new out.
fit and no move has been made to deal
with 1t. 1t is regarded here as likely
that the Germans have more init.
mate line on the exact status Of af
fairs in Russia than any other nation.
II remains to be seen II Kerensky
can develop enough strength to re.
store the provisional government
swiftly or IL 1t is necessary for Rus
sia to go through the turmoil an
strife of prolonged civil war before
stable government may be set up.

THE PRESENT IS
CRITICAL TIME
President Tells Why a Teuton
Peace Cannot Be Agreed to
ADDRESS TO A. F. OF L.
Talk Warmly Applauded-Demands
Cessation OF Strife And Honest
Support OF All Glasses
Tribute To Gompers.

Buffalo, N. Y.-President Wilson
made a personal and eloquent appeal
in this city for the full support OF or
ganized labor for the Government in
the conduct of the war. Speaking
before the thirty.seventh annual con-
vention OF the American Federation Of
Labor, he declared the war could not
be won unless all factions united In
a common cause, sinking their differ
ences.
The President paid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
virtually called upon Federation to
give him united support. He de-
nounced paciflsts and critics. He ap-
pealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the President
declared fatty that Germany had
started the war and that he was will
ing to await the verdict of history on
that statement
New instrumentalities for better CO.
operation between labor and capital
was one statement by the President
which was of prime interest to the
delegates to the convention.
The President alluded to the pres
ent war "as the last decisive issue
between the old principles of power
and the new principles Of freedom"
81 believe" he said, that the spirit
of freedom can get into the hearts of
Germans and find as fine a welcome
there as II can find in any other
hearts. But the spirit Of freedom does
not suit the plans of the Pan-Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen-
trated force against free people II II is
used by free people.
"You know" he continued, "how
many intimations come to us from one
Of the Central Powers that 1t is more
anxious for peace than the chief
Central Power, and you know that il
means that the people of that Cen
trail Power know that IL the war ends
as 1t stands they will in effect them.
selves be vassals of Germany, not.
withstanding that their populations
are compounded of all the people of
that part of the world, and notwith-
standing the fact that they do not
wish in their pride and proper spirit
OF nationality to be absorbed and
dominated"
Referring in another part OF his
speech to Russia, the President said:
MAY not say it is amazing to me
that any group OF people should be
so ill-informed as to suppose, as
some groups in Russia apparently sup
pose, that any reforms planned in the
interest of the people can live in the
presence Of Germany powerful
enough to undermine or overthrow
them by intrigue or force. Any body
of free men that compounds with the
German Government compounds for
its own destruction"

NOW FLY UNDER U. S. FLAG.
All American Aviators Fighting In
France, Commissioned.

American Field Headquarters,
France.-All American aviators now
fighting in the French Army were
formally commissioned officers in the
United States army aviation service.
The famous Lafayette Escadrille of

Some Of the new American flyers
will continue temporarily with their
present commands and under French
direction until they are called upon

expeditionary forces. A great many
airmen, however, will join the Amer

The transfer of this big body of
aerial fighters gives the United States
a nucleus Of veterans of the air which
will be of incalculable advantage when
the American forces get into action.
