 Big Export to Germany.
 Amsterdam, Netherlands. March 17.-This years export of tobacco to Germany is to be financed by the Netherlands Association Of Tobacco dealers. according to a view maintain ing it's exchange rate Berlin stipulates that German treasury, bills of two years term shall be taken in payment for such goods, the bills being guar anteed by the Reichsbank and six other leading banking institutions. Should the present shipping stagna- tion continue. or the shortage of car- go space become such that the Neth- erlands East Indian tobacco crop can- not be transported to the Dutch mar ket, endeavors will doubtless be made to ship the tobacco, or . large part thereof. to America.

intrigues and the existence of the mys- terious channels which seemed to run from court >circles into the camp Of the enemy. contributed to bring the imperial family into complete dis favor. Whether these were true or not, however, the weakness of the ruling family in allowing persons to direct the affairs of the country who were secretly designing against the best interests of the nation and ap- parently doing all possible to inter fere with the proper conduct of tho war. united them to- govern the country.
 There was little restraint in the manner in which this opinion was ex- pressed. Accusation were made against the empress in almost every gathering where people privately as- sembled to discuss the political situa- tion. From the tribune of the D6ma the same thing was hinted in yelled form. Professor Miukof. in his address at the opening of the Duma last November, read an account from a German paper which spoke of 2 group of persons who were gath cred around the empress. He used this article as basis for an attack npon the dark forces which re- nected the pro-Gefman influence at the court. ss.
 It was the general conclusion when the revolution began that 1t had been provoked by tho government. working through the medium of the police, and tha- the government had decided upon this daring expedieat as the means of completing its previous efforts to tie up the industrial activity of the country and bring the war operations to complete standstill. But the force which was set in motion and which first appeared easy to control. draw ing to itself all the discords of the country which were awaiting an op- portunity to revolt, soon became so tremendous that 1t was impossible to hold 1t. So swiftly. unexpectedly and and completely did the great change come that the people are almost dazed and seem scarcely able to understand what has occurred.
 Inured through centuries to the grinding oppression of autocratic rule and regarding freedom as a glorious dream which would forever remain a dream, the people seemed disposed to regard their liberation as at most merely temporary, respite which must soon give way to the ancient law of imperial will.
 All Depends on Army.
 The reception of the new manifesto at army headquarters is awaited. with the greatest anxiety, for it is known that unless it Is favorably met by the 6.0OO.00O men at the front the new regime cannot endure. There is no reason to suppose that the soldiers on the fighting line will show . diff ferent attitude from the soldiers and civilians in Petrograd and the other cities. except in as far as their re- noteness from the scene of the revo- lution and partial ignorance of the conditions which brought it about may affect them. But since upon their acceptance hinges the fate of the republic their answer Is being breathlessly anticipated. With them rests the decision as to whether Rus sia shall build up 3 new government on a prepared foundation or be plunged into further disorder.

a gentleman from Vermont
was travelling west in Pullman
when a group of men from To-
peka, boarded the train and began
TO praise their CITY TO the Yer
monter, telling him of It's wide
streets and beautiful avenues.
Finally the Vermonter became
tired and said the onlv thing
that would improve their city
would be 10 make it seaport.
The enthusiastic Westerners
laughed at him and asked how
thev could make it seapurt,
being SO far from the oce an.
The Vermonter replied that
1t would be very easy task.
"The only thing that you will
have to do" said he, is to lay a
two inch pipe from your city to
the Gulf of Mexico. Then
if you fellows can suck as
hard as you can blow YOU
will have it seaport inside
half an hour"
