bet of peace, not the first letter OF the alpha

Then we will talk.
That is not all. War is q ghastly business
But it is not as grim as a bad peace. There
is an end 70 the most horrible war, but &
bad peace goes on and on, staggering from
one war to another. What do they mean !!
Do they mean peace when they talk! The
truth isl have followed closely every line
they have uttered, and ! have watched their
pspers-the Prussan War Lords have not yet
abandoned their ambitions. They are not
discussing that. They are Only discussing
the postponement of the realization Of these
ambitions.
There is q feeling among them, . genuine
feeling, believe me, that this time the plot
has miscarried. Hear. hear They are
perfectly honest about that. and they blame
this poor country, with its feet and its fac

Foreign Papers in America
Are Also Alive to the
Situation Overseas

TIME Russian crisis was perhaps the
chief topic of discussion in the for
eign language press of last week.
The Russian and Yiddish papers reacted to
it strongly. The speech of Kerensky, at
the Moscow conference, in which he warned
the counter-revolutionary elements in no
uncertain terms, provoked much comment
on both TANKS. Speaking for the ele-
ments upholding the Provisional Govern
ment, the "Russkoye Slovo," Of New York
City, said, editorially:
Nearly half a year has elapsed since the
first shot in the wonderful Russian revolu.
ton was fired. During these six months
the pendulum Of Russia's national life has
moved so rapidly away from autocracy and
bureaucracy that it I. dficult to believe

ter revolutionary movements in Russia,
enc at the extreme Right, the other at the
extreme Left Both. 1t is true, aim at the
overthrow of the present provisional gov
eminent but from totally different mo-
tives. The Rightists are the bourgeois pro-
gressives and ex-monarchists who believe
that the Socialist Cabinet Of Kerensky is
too radical and dangerous. Tho Leftists
are the anarchistic Maximalists and Lenin-
ties, who consider the government Of Kcr-
ensky too conservative and un-proletarian.
The former want to see a strong govern
nlent, headed by Mliukoff or Gutchkoff,
succeed Kercnsky, while the latter would
Ike to see Lenine and the internationalists
rule Russia
THE Council May Be House
i Built on the Sand.
In the centre, between the Left and
Right there is to-day a Great Unknown.
A couple of months ago this centre was
the most powerful stream Of Russian pub
lie opinion. The Council of Workmen and
Soldiers was its organ. And the councils
spokesman was Kerensky To-day the
councils prestige is still declining as a re-
suit of the debacle at the front 1t is still
considered, however, the strongest organi-
zation in Russia, but no one knows the ex-
tent of its recent losses, and many would
rot be surprised to see it crumble away in
tie near future like house built upon the
sands. Kerensky still speaks officially in
the name Of the council, but many suspect
that it is no longer the council that sup
ports Kerensky but vice versa.
And when Kerensky speaks, he must
therefore speak, by the very nature Of
things, as the leader Of the central current
He addressed harsh words both TO the Left
and the Right counter revolutionists. He
said:
Those who think the moment has csne 10
overthrow the revolutionary power with bay
onets are making a mistake. Let them take
care, for our authority is supported by the
boundless confidence Of the people and by
millions of soldiers who are defending rs
against the German invasion.
"Those who once trembled before the gov
eminent of autocrats now boldly march
against the government with arms in hand
But let them remember that our patience has
its limits and that those who go beyond them
will have to settle with government which
will make them remember the time of Gar
ism We shall be implacable, because we are
convinced that supreme power alone can as
sure the salvation OF the country. That is
why shall oppose theoretically all attempts
to take advantage Of Russia's national mis-
fortunes. and whatever ultmatum is pre-
scented shall subject II 10 the supreme power
and TO myself its head.

that all those events occurred within 20
brief a span.
According to Kerensky, healthy-minj ed
and clear-sighted Russia, which is now ready
to begin active and incessant efforts to at
tain her aims, is rspenting tho sins Of the
last six months and announces her decision
70 fulfil more actively and more enerseticsl-
ly the duty she owes to her historical des-
tiny. Russia's terrible sin consists In this:
that she has closed her eyes TO reality and
allowed a small band Of theorists and
phrase-monxers to lead her from the road
Of truth on to the road Of fantastic chi
meras
AT the present time Russia is in such
danger as has never before threatened her.
There is only one road 10 safety. The best
men Of Russia have gathered to hear from the
lips Of those who stand at the helm OF the
government what is the true present state OF
affairs. This convention Of great men will
bend it's best efforts to save Russia.
"Te its report on the state Of affairs. the
government ought TO receive from the pres
emit Congress at Moscow the following re-
ply: III Russia can be saved. by policy
Of blood and iron, from the danger that
threatens her, then let not the hand tremble
that has to exercise that grim authority"
u erensky Viewed as New
IL Type Of Gar
On the other hand, the extremist "Novy
Mir" is alarmed at the tone of Kerensky's
message, seeing in it danger to the revo-
luton. 1t writes:
"Ksrensky announced that the Provisional
Government would rule with a firm hand.
that it would take energetic measures TO
suppress all disorders. that it would most
resolutsly combat all those who aim to rob
the government Of its power. II is not dit
fcult to surmse that he had in view those
revolutionaries who regard the present sit
uston with open eyes, seeing that the gov
eminent Of Kerensky is marching along the
counter revolutionary path. OF the forces
Of reaction, Of the supporters Of the old
regime who are endeavoring to stab revo-
lutionary Russia in the back. Kerensky
speaks in another place. He declares that
these powers are not terrible, that the Pro-
visional Government, backed by the people
and the army, would have no difficulty In
coping with them.
ut Is the revolutionary internationslists
who are taxing the governments patience,
and these rsvolutionists the government will
fight with fire and sword. compelling them,
according to Kerensky's expression, to re-
call the times Of czsrism, l. e., il will avail
itself Of the same methods employed by the
government Of the Car.
"Ksrsnsky becomes more outspoksn every
day, having practically shown all his cards
in his last speech. He declares war against
the genuine revolutionary forces Of the
country. openly Announcing IN that nan ~
the revolutionary democracy which is still
loyal 10 the tenets Of the Internationale,
the tenots Of revolutionary socialism, We
march against you!' How will Russia's rev.
olutionary democracy answer KsrsnskyT

Of them, but they stammer, they stutter over
the word restoration. II has not yet crossed
their lips III its entirety. We have ehal-
lenged them. They can't say it. But before
we enter a peace conference they must learn
to utter that word to begin with. Loud and
