"HE retirement of Bethmann-Holl-
veg, it appears, was not the con-
- clusion, but the beginning OF the
Kaiser's political troubles. The appoint
ment of Michaelis as Chancellor left the
German people in the dark as to the future
course of the German government. But
his subsequent choice Of ministers for his
reorganized Cabinet clearly enough indi-
Gated the nature of the new adminlstra-
ton. When DR.. Won Kuehlmann succeeded
Zimmerman as Minister for Foreign Al
fairs there was still hope that new era
might be inaugurated in the German gov
crnmental system. But the full list Of new
ministers dispelled all such illusions. The
Berlin "Tageblatt' thus commented:
at cannot be denieo that the events occur
ring In our internal politics lack historic
dimensions, as compared with our present
military achievements. The great German
nation, which Is the only 'Kultur' people in
the world, exercises neither direct nor In
direct influence In the selection Of It's SER
wants.
"The present Reorganization Of the govern

mental personnel, which Is Of little moment
as regards the internal development of the
empire, shows Chancellor Michaelis for the
present facing the question Of democratiza-
ton or parlamentarization with the same
bewilderment as though he stood in the pres
ence of some exotic sea monster. With us
the making of history appears to be the sole
privilege of the army"
The "Roersen Zeitung," expressing the
views Of he National Liberals, had little
good to say of the ministerial changes:
ais the result which we now contemplate
that which we and many others have looked
forward to? The question may promptly be
answered in the negative. We have again
Simon-pure ministry Of officials. Two par
iamentarians, DR.. SPAIN and DR.. Won Krause,
cannot be considered an evidence of a sim
cere desire for parlismsntarization. While
their appointment are a compliment to their
parties. the fact remains that the widely
beralded change in personnel is not satisfy
ing"
The "Zeitung am Mittag" also found
little promise in the governmental shifts.

going very badly. Lincoln's famous remark
about the peril of swapping horses while
crossing a stream is often quoted by Prus-
sian writers, and the Kaiser to-day is strug-
Cling with irresistible stream that is
sweeping him to destruction"
"a Marionette Cabinet" is how "The
New York Times" characterzes in sar-
castle editorial the Michaelis government:
"When the great German crisis was CRAP
pied with so grandly by Chancellor Michaelis,
he met the demand for peace by declaring
that Germany would accept only a victor's
peace, and that with that understanding he
had no objection to the Reichstag's adopting
a resolution declaring for a peace without
conquest. Germany wac to get what she
would get by forced acquisitions only she
was not to call II process Of forced acquisi-
ton As for the demand for democracy, he
met that by proposing to give the political
parties some government Jobs, provided they
were accepted on the clear understanding
that their holders should have nothing to do
with the direction Of affairs, which was to
remain In the hands Of the Kaiser and his
servants"

Eve never gave the aid that Russia had
the right to expect. The Root commissiou
had no mandate to assure the Russian idesls
lists that we are with them. France and Engs
land sent to Petrograd equivocal MESSAGES
with indefinite promises Of some future
meeting to discuss the Allied war aims. Tho
Italian semi-official press even intimated that
Japan would spring upon free Russia's back
If she dared turn back from pursuit Of the
aims to which the deposed Gar had coma
scented.

Kerensky and his compatriots turned to their
allies in vain. Entente folly was German OPP

Russia has grown and thrived upon the re-
fusal Of diplomatic support to the Russian
government. The idealsts who wanted only
peace without annexations and indemnitisS
and the overthrow Of German autocracy-s
these idealists have had to admit themselves
unable to bring the other Entente powers
to the Russian viewpoint Pacifists and Ger

driven by their government to fight for ana

selves, but for others. That is the whoh

Tornilof's Acceptance and
II Its Conditions

While order was being evolved out Of
chaos in Petrograd, the retreating front
began to show signs of steadiness. The
plucky General Korniloff was given the
post of commander in chief, held by Brush
loft, to restore organization in the army.
He accepted it on the following conditions,
which he telegraphed to Kerensky:
First, wish to be responsible only to my
conscience and to the people.
Second, no one shall intervene in my
fighting orders and appointments.
Third the measures adopted during the
last few days at the front also shall be ap-
piled at the depots in the rear"
Of Korniloff's services and methods the
Russian correspondent of "The London
Morning Post" cabled the following:
"Korniloffs prompt severity has saved all
that was worth saving in the armies at the
front. The first corps to set the example and
lead the general exodus from the fighting
lines was the corps d'elite of Guards from
Petrograd. Their commander, General

described as follows his fearless and
vigorous attack against the government:
philip Scheidemann, Socialist member OF
the German Reichstag, in a speech delivered
at Mannheim, Baden, before 5000 people, de-
manded in the interest Of peace the speedy
substitution, for the present government of
Chancellor Michaels, of government really
representing the will of the German people,
The American press was just as quick
to perceive the nature of the Berlin
changes. "The New York Sun" warned:
Americans will be wise not to attach too
much Importance to the wholesale changes
in the German Cabinet. Except as indicative
of a certain amount Of political unrest, they
are probably without much bearing upon the
conduct Of the war.
1.-THE Kaiser may have snapped horses
while crossing a stream, but the United
States had better figure on the probability
that he did it in order to get better mount
for Hohenzollernism."
"The New York Herald" said:
THE first thought that will occur to most
readers Is that the changes are confession
to the world that affairs in Germany are

zone will look vainly for a new method
in this system of ministerial appointments.
The new government does not even suggest
definite programme, and the only positive
guarantee the newcomers offer is a pledge
to carry out the terms Of the imperial mes
sage for electoral reforms. This, however,
is an obligation, not confession Of faith"
The organ of the Catholic, or Centre,
party, "Germania," speaks plainly:
persons so foolish as to expect a great
gain in the direction Of a parliamentary
regime will naturally be disappointed"
Disappointed, indeed, we're the Socialists
who had supported the Kaiser since the
beginning of the war. The "Vorwarts"
criticised the new government as bureau
cratic, and declared that it must be the
last Of its kind. The "Vorwarts" is the
official organ Of the majority Socialists.
The leader Of the latter, Scheidemann,
who is an astute politician, was quick to
scent the popular feeling about the new
appointments. An Associated Press dis

India and Russia
TINE question of the Russian revolu-
tons effect upon the people OF

TIME question of the Russian revolu-
tons effect upon the people OF
- India is raised in the English
"Review of Reviews" and commented
upon in the following manner:
"No one in this country has troubled to
gauge the effect that the triumph of freedom
in Russia has had upon the Indian mind. No
elaborate attempt is, however, necessary to
ascertain the result. The Indian press is full
Of articles and notes on the revolution, and,
though they are written under the shadow OF
Draconian press act, they tell US enough.
Mr. Ramananda Chstterjee, the editor OF
The Modern Review (Cslcutta), writes:
"All men and women in India who have
heard of the revolution in Russia understand
its meaning and know what vast range OF
peoples it will affect for the better; they will
have their minds filled with longings for po-
Htical betterment, and with conviction
that they themselves are not unfit to exercise
political power and rights. One OF the argu-
ments used by our opponents to prove midas
unftness for home rule is the large number
Of races, speaking different languages, which
inhabit India. The list of races inhabiting
Russia is an answer to this argument
"The editor Of The Modern Review makes
It clear to his people that they should con-
tinue their agitation in constitutional man
ner and preserve the British connection In
tact. To quote him:
@Tntellgent, we'll informed and thinking
Indians will not think that there can be or
ought 20 be a revolution in India like the one
which has taken place in Russia; for the cir
sumstances Of the two countries are different
But, whatever the circumstances OF country,
one thing holds good Experimentation by
themselves are made. II we would have the
rishts of free men, let US be ready with the
DEVOTION and self-sacrifce which political
b.tternent requires. The Russian revolu-
tonaries have succeeded in spite OF, not De-
cause Of, the crimes and bloodshed and o.
destinations rightly or wrongly associated
With the revolutionary movement. We must
.hun all criminal methods. We must avoid
the mistakes OF the Russian leaders. We
aust keep the British connection intact. But
We must be inspired with the devotion and
sslf-sacrihce Of the Russian leaders. They
rave away everything for the sake OF service
to the motherland. Are we ready with the
