TREASON BROUGHT
RUSSIAN COUP
Editor Tells How Pro- German
Treason Brought Revolt

NEW YORK. March elbow |
ment and the court brought about the
revolt in Russia was described here
today by Herman Bernstein, editor
of the American Hebrew, and one of
the best informed men on Russian
conditions in this country. He said:
The revolution in Russia may be
the bitterest, bloodiest uprising of a
people in the history of the world.
IF the army is fully informed of
il, and follows its dominant inclina-
tion-which | believe is toward de-
posing the reactionary, autocratic
and pro-German elements at Petro-
grad-the revolt has great chances
of success, and new Russia may
emerge from the turmoil.
For patriotic reasons the Liberals
in the Duma have been upholding
the hands of the Russian government
during the war. They have prevent
ed general strikes, they have held
back their following among the peo-
pie from uprising while the war was
going on. They have done every
thing in their power to aid the gov
eminent, instead of opposing it as
they did in peace times.
But this was not appreciated by
the reactionaries and the court
clique, which is of German origin and
holds pro-German sentiments. and
which for long time has been seek
ing a separate peace with Germany.
And so these elements succeeded
in having the car issue ukaso or.
dering the Duma to dissolve. But
the Liberal members of the Duma re-
fused to be quieted, and, being pressed
beyond the limit of what they could
stand for, they allowed the revolu.
ton, which long was brewing, to

been favorably inclined toward a sep
arate peace with Germany is this one
that Germany has promised Russia
in the event OF such n peace being
concluded-to help Russia in quelling
any rebellion of the people that
might arise in the future. The PEG
pie OF Russia have constantly been
growing stronger, the soldiers in the
army have been gaining an education
and a broadening of fighting along
side the more democratic Frenchmen
and Englishmen. and altogether the
power of the small court classes has
been more and more threatened. This
has led them TO fear for their fu-
ture unless they allied themselves
with a monarchical nation like Ger
many.
EARLY in the war the car and
the Grand Duke Nicholas had a con-
ference. in the course of which the
Grand Duke warned the car that IL
he (the czar) continued to exhibit
indications that he edsired a separate
peace with Germany he would have
terrible revolution on his hands
And who will lead this revolu-
ton" the car inquired.
81 will lead it-with the army
replied the grand duke.
1t was shortly after this Nicholas
was displaced from the high ccm-
mand of the Russian armies and was
sent to an obscure position. WI lie

come TO a head.
This revolution means the ruling
powers in Russia so lost their heads
and went to such extreme lengths
they forced the people, represented
by the Liberals. to go also to ex.
IRENE lengths.
Conditions in Russia recently have
been terrible almost beyond belief.
The food situation and the transpor-
tation situation have been extremely
grave.
There have been no railroad cars
to carry food supplies to the armies
~ the front, and no cars TO carry
wounded men back from the front.
Yet il has been proved beyond doubt
wealthy Russian merchants, by brib-
ing the proper officials, could get all
the cars they wanted for their pri-
waite businesses.
This matter has been brought to
the peoples attention by the Liberals
in the Duma.
Their speeches have not been al.
lowed to get out of Russia because
OF the censorship, but they have been
published there. and have been re.
peated by word of mouth, so that
most OF the civilian population and
most of the army, | believe, by now
have heard of the outrages
These speeches. it will be under

and the soldiers, but also brought
down upon the Liberals the wrath OF
the government. 1t was in an effort
TO stifle such utterances apparently
that the order dissolving the Duma
was issued.

CHINA PREPARING
To ENTER WAR
Defies Germany In Sharp Note;
May Join The Allies

a copy of President Ii Yuan
lungs proclamation announcing
China's severance of relations with
Germany has been received by cable
at the Chinese legation at Washing
ton, together with a message saying
that the various department of the
Chinese government had been in
structed to devise measures for the
protection of German residents in
China and take other necessary steps
in conformity with the established
principles OF international law"
The proclamation, issued March II,
the day the German minister was
handed his passports, follows:
"Since the beginning OF the Euro.
pean war. China has steadfastedly
maintained neutrality.
quite unexpectedly on February 2
the Chinese government received
communication from the imperial
German government with regard to
it's new policy of unrestricted subma.
rine warfare, causing II to be known
'hht iiOh 'ht pulu uhlS Navigation
for neutral vessels in certain defined
zones would be exposed to danger.
"As the loss to China both in life
and In property arising from the de-
struction OF merchantmen by subma.
rines had already been considerable
and as the new policy was bound to
cause greater loss to China. the Chin.
csc government out of respect for the
sanctity OF information law and for
the sake of giving necessary protoc.
ton to the lives and property OF
Chinese citizens. made vigorous pro.
test to the imperial German govern.
ment declaring that unless Germany
abandoned her new policy China |
would be compelled to break of dip. |
lomatic relations with her.
I'm taking this step China was in
hopes that Germany might, in order to
preserve the existing friendly rela.
lions between these two nations, deem
Il advisable so TO modify It's policy II
rs TO meet che wishes OF the Chinese
government.
ITO the regret of the Chinese gov.
'pnment, since the protest OF China
vas made fully month ago. the unre.
trieted submarine warfare has not
cen abandoned, but on the contrary.
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1917-03-21

many more vessels of different ma
lions have been sunk. causing the loss
of many Chinese lives and a great
deal of Chinese property.
ION the tenth instant the imperial
German government made its formal
reply. stating. to the great disappoint'
ment of the Chinese government that
the German government could not
abandon it's new submarine policy.
Under these circumstances, the Chin
csc government has no recourse but
TO sever from this day on the exist
ing diplomatic relations with Ger
many in order to manifest our respect
for the sanctity OF international law
and our due regard for the lives and
property of our citizens"
Plans to Join Allies
After announcing the severance Of
diplomatic relations between China
and Germany. Foreign Minister WI
Ting Fang called meeting OF the
ministers OF the entente nations and

sent to an increase of import duties

Denmark is looking after Chinese

In the light of previous dispatch

Much in Little.

Senator James A. McDougal was an
orator who abided by shakespeare
maxim that 'brevity is the soul Of
wit" He could compact more elo.
quence into a few sentences than 9th
er speakers diffused through long
harangues. When urged to particl-
pate in mortuary ceremonies he said:
Il doubt whether or not we should
mourn for any of the dead. l am con-
fident that there should be no mourn
ing for those who render themselves
up as sacrifices in any just and holy
cause. 1t better becomes us to praise
and dignity them. 1t is true that
cities and kingdoms die, but the eter-
nal thought lives on. Great thought, In
incorporate with great action, does not
die, but lives universal life, and Its
power Is felt. vibrating through all
spirit and throughout all ages"

LAWNS NOW POTATO FIELDS
Velvety Parks of the Show Places of
France Transformed to Meet
Economic Crisis.

The rare American tourists who visit
the chateau of Touraine in France
may find the velvety parks of the
most interesting show places trans
formed into potato patches.
Aristocracy has taken up the "tuber
campaign" and. beginning with the
Countess of Noailles and the Duchess
Dues, chatelaines all over the coun-
try have promised to dig up their
lawns and plant vegetables. Flower
gardens, also, will be consecrated to
the solution of the economic crisis.
The rose, the vine and the orchard
are not to be touched, but all annual
flowers and all green swards must
give way TO the democratic potato, in
the interest of the national defense.
Since there Is not enough labor for
the farm lands already under cult
walton, the temporary release from the
srmy OF, greater number of farmers
and the Importation of more Indo-Chi-
nese and North African labor Is ex-
pected to count more effectively in
solving the agricultural problem than
the efforts to transform the chateau
parks into vegetable gardens.

New Talking "Movies.n

Application has been made for a
patent on very elaborate device
which would produce combination of
the cinematograph and the photograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new,
but the difficulties Of svnchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
By synchronizing Is meant the exact
coincidence of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which is produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech of
the character is transmitted by wire
less telephone to monograph whose
complex receiving mechanism is syn
chronized with the movements of the
moving picture camera.

Attack Being inspired BY
Allies, Says Berlin.

I.ondon.-The soldiers of new Rus-
STA have assumed the aggressive. For
the first time since the revolution last
March Russian troops have begun an
attack on an extensive scale. Along
Il front of eighteen and one-half miles
in the region of Brzezany, Galicia,
Russian troops have stormed the Ger
man positions Berlin says the Rus
slams suffered heavy losses and were
compelled to retire before the German
fire The attack was made in the sec
Con southeast of Lemberg, where the
artillery firing has been heavy re-
Gently
The Russians also made night at
t.cks on both sides of Brzezany and
near Zwyzyn, and Berlin reports as
saults between Zlota Lipa and the
Narayuyka. The artillery arm OF the
Russian forces has been active and
from the Berlin report it is learned
that an intense duel has been in prog
ress from the region of Brzezany to
as far northward as the middle Stok-
hod in Volhynia, distance of about
IT'S miles. Brezezany is one of the
keys to Lemberg, the Galician capital
Berlin declares that the Russian at
Jacks, which 1t says were powerful,
were brought about through the pres
sure of the leading entente powers.
Field Marshal Haig continues to
tighten his grip on Lens. On the north
bank of the River Souchez British
troops have captured German positions
on front of half mile southwest
and west of Lens. The British army
during June captured 1886 German
prisoners, including IT'S officers, and
sixtyseven guns. including two heavy
guns, as well as much other war ma
terial.
The French and Germans continue
to battle at various points on the front
from Cerny to, the Verdun region.
East of Cerny the French have re-
pulsed German attacks ana IN the re-
gion of Prunay, east of Rheims, Ger
man surprise attack was thrown back
with heavy losses. On the left bank
of the Meuse the fighting has brought
no change in position.

weakly, as l remembered afterward.
Now was only thirteen years old and
had been out playing in the hot sun all
morning and was all in when l met
my father. after playing a ten-inning
game with our side the losers. My
first impulse was to refuse, but one
glance at his kind gentle face stopped
me. Surely I will go, father I said
pleasantly.
""Thank you, son. was the answer.
I was going myself, but I don't feel
very well today and I thought you
would not refuse, as you have always
been a good boy to me, joe
II walked away thinking father did
not care much about his only son, or
he would not send me on this jaunt
(about one mile and a half), on such
hot day. But somehow the words,
I thought you would not refuse and
