Washington, March 16.-All doubt
that the successful revolution in Rus

minds of officials here today by the
receipt of further unofficial details of

While press dispatches indicate that
good order prevails in Russia, two
disquieting possibilities are apparently
to students of Russia. The first is
that the deposcd autocratic pro-Ger-
man party may attempt counter
revolution possibly aided by the en-
pcror, which might be sufficient to
handicap if not to paralyze Russia's
war efforts. The second, a less serious
but more probable danger. is stated to
lie in the arrangement of general mill

season is not propitious for German
advance. but 1t is believed that any
considerable Russian Generalization

forces to the French front.

Speech Meant War
for All Liberals

That was a declaration OF war which
the liberals and radicals Of Russia
could not but accept. They began to
organize secret societies which carried
the IDEAS of revolution to the peasants
in the villages, and to the workers in
the towns. The leaders in the move
mcnt were the professional. men. the
we'll to do middle class, and particu-
arly the students in the colleges and
universities.
The terrific decentralization of Rus
sian autocracy revealed by the Russo
Japanese war too much even for the
patient Russians, and led to the up
heaval of 1905 which forced Nicholas
II. to issue his manifesto of October
81 granting constitutional govern
mcnt to the country. During 1906 -06
the democratic and revolutionary
forces made steady progress and came
very near achieving their plan which
was to abolish autocracy entirely and
to declare Russia a democratic re-
public.

July, 1906, was the turning point in
the history of Russian democracy The
forces of reaction and autocracy re-
gained ascendancy and from 1906 to
1911 Premier Stolypin ruled Russia in
the most ruthless and brutal fashion.
He was backed by the old nobility who
now rallied to the banner of the czar
in the fear OF having their estates con :
fiscated by the peasants. The liberal
| elements lost heart and went into re-
treat.
These were years Of desrair and of
intellectual and moral .xcesses Young
men and women, even boys and girls in
the upper grades, formed suicide
clubs" and other secret societies de-
voted to the most abnormal purposes
The literature Of Russia was infested
with morbid mysticism, pcssimistic
most disheartcning character. After
the death of Stolypin in September,
1911, conditions began to change. The
workers in the cities regained an in
tcrest in politics and came forward
again as the champions of democracy.
The peasants who had learned to read
newspapers and to follow national pol
itics. stiffcned in their resistance to tho
| arbitrary government of the car. The
| end Of 1913 and the first months of
1914 saw q revival of the democratic
movement which called to mind the
most revolutionary days of 1906. In
July, 1914, just before the war broke
out. Petrograd was the scene OF big
strikes and street manifestations which
would probably have ended in the com
plctc overthrow of czarism This gen
cral movement was one of the chief
causes which induced the car to dc
clare war on Germany. He hoped To
divert the attention of the people from
national problems to international af-
fairs.
