LONDON, Oct. 7.-Presidont vii
sons review OF the work OF the last ses-
sion OF Congress holds conspicuous
place in the London newspapers to-day
His message makes heartening reading
for those who had only limited knowl-
edge OF what the United States was
doing in preparation for the war. The
British people have the greatest conf
dence in the President, and his every
utterance is followed closely.
In the early days Of the war Britain
made the serious mistake Of letting the
world learn in whatever way it could
lust what she was doing Instead Of
helping the neutral and Allied press 90
get material about her activities. those
in authority either frowned upon the
propaganda ss something below Brit
ish dignity or treated il as a fifth rate
question. which could be handled by
some one who had nothing else 20 do.
Il took q long time for the government
20 see the error Of It's policy. and 81
was not until the Germans had scored
heavily that propaganda became a seri-
Gus subject here.
Now Part OF War Machine
With their usual thoroughncss the
British then took up the question in
great detail. and to-day 1t is being
handled as part Of the war machine,
lust as the enemy has done for more
than three years.
America has profted by Brita'n'3
blunder, but the activities OF the Wash

Railwoy Mems Committee
Indorses Russian Strike

PETROGRAD, Oct. The Railway
Mems Congress has given its approval
to the strike on all the railway lines, as
decided upon by the railway mems com
mittee, the congress declaring that the
strike does not run contrary to the in
terests OF the state. as a refusal Of the
government to grant the demands Of
the men for an increase in wages
threatens TO precipitate conditions Of
anarchy on the lines. The congress,
however, has agreed that the strike
shall not affect the railways serving
the fighting front.
Premier Kerensky telegrsphed the
railway men on Friday that their de-
mands would be met next Tuesday and
asked them to countermand the strike
order.
The semi-offical news agency to-day
announced that the employees OF the i'm
portant VladikavkaL railway system
(Ciscaucasia), as well as a number Of
other lines. have decided not to join in
the strike.
This news, says the statement, gives
ground for hope that the efforts Of the

Britain Fears Radicals
Will Seize Russian Power
No Real Government Exists in Petrograd London Advces
Saw. Maximalists Overpowering Strength
of Premier's Popularity
Bv Arthur S. Draper

London. Oct Although over
Swallowed by recent events halg
great drive on the Western front, the
peacc mannuyrcs of the Central Pow
ers and the air attacks on England the
Russian news deserves considerable Mt
tention. Unfortunately. there Il little
that is hopeful or encouraging to DC
said. Militarily impotent and politl-
eally disrupted, Russia is near an eco
nomc collapse, according to British
opinions.
In the military situation there has
been little change in the last fortnight
but politically and economically the
situation has gone from bad to worse
Having successfully withstood the
Kornilofr challenge, Premier Kerensky
seems 70 have lost his grip and al
lowed the Maximalists TO get the upper
hand
There is no real government in Rus
STA to-day, according 10 my source OF
information, for the Provisional Gov
ernment now hardly exists more than
in name.
Three weeks ago I wrote that there
was a plan on foot TO form n national
government, with Savinkof as Pre-
mier. Students Of Russian affairs still
believe events arc shaping that way
but IL il a hope rather than. an expecta-
ton. The Maximalists thus far have
successfully baked at coalition. bend
ing their efforts toward the establish
merit OF a government in which they
would WELD all the power.
The democratic congress. which is
said TO be virtually the Soviet in a
new guise. has yet TO form govern
ment, but has successfully thwarted
Kerensky. Efforts to reach compro-
mise are being carried on. though prl-
yate reports give little hope that they
will succeed.
A Miracle Could Save Her
The truth is that Russia is so torn
by the warning political factions that
nothing short Of miracle can bring
them together in common policy.
The only points which are clear in the
Russian reports are that five members
of the executive committee Of the
Democratic Congress have been dele
gated to draw uD a scheme FOR the
creation OF strong revolutionary au-
thority" and that this authority must
follow the programme Of the Moscow
conference of August to formulate a
policy OF general peace
The frequent assertion that Russia
will not conclude a separate peace still
stands. but frankly there is grave
danger that she will fall into a state
o. chaos. Already certain parts OF the
country are being pillaged by bands

but throughout the island there has

the American fighting forces. In no

effort on the part of any of the insulsr
citizens to avoid conscription.
Likewise the island has been free
from any campaign againS war, and
although the cost Of living is higher
here and the native products have gone
