Berlin Paper Derides
u. S. as Aid to Allies

Amsterdam, May via London).-
One German view Of the weeks devel-
opments ut Washington is reflected in
the Berlin "Zeitung am Mittag," which
discusses the results of the Anglo
French mission TO Washington. IT says
that after beautiful speeches and grand
and general promises the members Of
the missions have come down TO hard
facts to find that the United States
cannot produce ships by magic, and,
moreover, the ocean is ruled by Ger
mar submarines. The newspaper adds
that the loans to France and Italy so
far amount TO mere tip IN order TO
keen those countries Uulct
I'VE do not underestimate the
American danger where II really eN-
lists namely after the war on com
mercial questions says the "Leltung
am Mittag," "but for the Entente's mo-
mentary needs America has nothing to
offer but blown egg she'll.
"Therefore. the whole fury Of the
party assembled at Washington burst
over the neutrals. Food that cannot be
shipped TO England shall not be shipped
TO Scandinavia, Holland and Switzer-
land. The alleged reason IS lght crops,
but more probably it IS political re
venge for the refusal of the neutrals
TO come under the heel.
"Neutrals should not be unduly
alarmed. 1t is an empty threat, for If
the American farmer has grain to sell
he will sell il to neutrals if he cannot
sell II to England
Elsewhere the "Zeitung am Mittag
runs a column of heavy jokes on the
patriotism OF American milllonaires, IN
which il says:
What we have long feared has be-
come a horrid truth. The millionaires
are being mObilized."

said. would facilitate the task Of the

similar vein, and argued that without
an indemnity Germany faced ruin.
Deputy Keil (Socialist accepted the
challenge and declared that the Ger

attempt to FIJI its pockets with gold.

hardly had a hearing in the world, al
though it is the most influential one
with the revolutionary masses. The
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers

the masses made up their minds to

time creating every opportunity for

II is clear that the masses that won
the Russian freedom intend to run the
affairs of the nation. They Will force
the Provisional Government to exert

Provisional Government refuse to be
controlled By the workers and soldiers
Russia would Immediately be divided

In one camp would be the provisional

Against it would be the Council OF

Desire of the Masses for Peace
May Plunge Russia into Civil War
Present Conflict Inteferes with Enjoyment OF Newly Wor
Liberty-People Fail to Realize Dangers
Of Prussianism
BY ISAAC DON LEVINE

Russia is not through with revolu-
tons yet. The demonstrations against
the Provisional Government in Petro-
grad yesterday may prove the begin
ming Of an attempt at another revolu-
ton, with the almost certain result of
civil war.
The Russian masses, like the masses
Of any other European country, want
peace. intoxicated with the liberty
that came to them through the over
throw of Czarism, these masses ex-
pccted the proletariat of the rest of
she world to follow their example,
raise the banner Of revolt and stop the
world slaughter
j. IS i'm this expectation that the eX-
PLANTATION of the present movement lies.
fine German masses would not react
10 the Russian upheaval as the Rus
sian masses expected them to. They
did not turn upon their masters and
did not dethrOne their Kaiser. The
Russian workers and soldiers could
not understand this failure of the leu
tons TO revolt, Prussian psychology be-
ing closed book to them.
Since the revolution in the middle Of
March Russian public opinion was
split into two main currents, each Of
which offered its individual cXplana-
tion of the Teuton failure to respond
10 the call of the Russian revolution.
One current, representing the views
Of the Provisional Government, the
Duma, the liberal and radical leaders
who know and understand Prussianism,
appealed to the people to continue the
fight for the safety Of democracy and
civilization.
Fails to Stir Masses
The alarming reports issued by Alex
andcr Guchkov, the Minister of War,
about Germany's preparations for a
drive against Petrograd were part OF
the activities OF this section of public
option, Its press, which is quoted al
most exclusively by the foreign CORE
spondents in Petrograd, has been try
ing to throw some light on the German
character so as to convince the Rus
sion masses that the only way to peace
is the defeat OF the Central Powers.
But there is another section Of pub
