"A KAISER FOR A CAR
II Germans Take Riga 1t WIN Not
Cause Collapse Of Russia.

tFrom New York Timea.o

a4HzfrE - GILT ~
II the Germans take Riga and adj
vance on Petrograd. 1t will not cause
the collapse Of Russia. IT would not
cause.-the collapse OF Russia, II they
were to capture Petrograd.s But it
would have two results, onescertainly
and the other provided Russians are
like other men and like what they
themselves been in the past.
In the first place, the taking Of Riga
alone would probably force the trans
ference Of the government to Mos
COW. This step should have been
taken voluntarily long ago. and prob
ably the onlysreason IT was not taken
was that the government feared it
would precipitate riots. Petrograd is
the brain and heart oflanarchy and
treason. The, embarrassment OF the
government and the decentralization OF
the troops were wrought from Petro-
grad. Russia is not an industrial but
an agricultural state, the heart Of
which is sound; but all the elements
OF sedition, streachery, and folly con-
gregate in Petrograd and poison the
streams of the nations life.
Doubtless the government would
long ago have moved to the purer
atmosphere Of Moscow, a city in
hampered and from which it would
be able to exercise raj control, but
for the fact that the fanatics and
traitors who are seeking to 9 its
ruin in Petrograd are as we'll aware
of the Significance OF such a step as
Kerensky is himself. The order to
move would stir them to desperation.
1t was the attempt OF the Girondin
government to move from Paris to a
city in which it would be free from
the mob that brought about the res
whit which 0yerfhrey MAT 1ovarn-
control of the French Revolution.
But IL Riga falls the government will
have 70 go 70 Moscow. In al proba-
bility: 1t certainly will II the Ger
mans continue to advance. and the
fanatics and traitors would be unable
to stir up q revolt against q step to
which there was obviously no aiterna-
tive. The result would be that the
Russian government would atlast be-
Come measnrabiy tree and powerful.
The second resutt which might be
expected from a German advance on
Petrogra6 would be the uniffcaion OF
