Two Difficult Situations.

Nevertheless the financial and labor
situation continues difficult. but it should
not be forgotten that all the present
evils had their origin in the ancient
regime and that one cannot clean in
three months the Augean stables of
czarism.
Il am able to add finally that the fate
of Belgium stirs all classes of Russians
with intense sympathy and that NJ
TcheIdse. president of the Soviet or
committees of delegates of soldiers and
workmen, exclaimed last Sunday in their
name:
Tell your Belsian comrades that the
restitution of their independence is as
dear to us as the destiny of our own
revolution
II said at the end of our interview that
the fate of one and the other was bound
together. because liberty is indivisable
and it will either exist throughout
Europe or it will not exist"

IS. READY TO STRIKE
Belgian Minister Of. State Asserts
Slavs Are in Better Shape
Than Ever.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 30.-A dispatch to the
Havas agency from Stockholm quotes
an interview with Emile Eandervelde,
Belgian minister of state, on the Rus
sian situation. Mr.. Vandervelde. who
was passing through Stockholm on his
return from Petrosrad, said:
1.-THE situation in Russia has sensibly
improved since we arrived there six
weeks ago. There is between men like
Tseretelli. kerensky. Tereschtenko and
Prince Lvoff not only the apparent
union necessitated by the troubles of
these times, but an accord becominc
it concerns immediate action in the fu-
ture. AS for the army. the Germans
will have their trouble for their pains
as far as conference for separate
peace and the dissolution of the Rus
sian military forces are concerned
When he left for the front the Ger
mans We're relating that the Russians
were weakened by assertions and had
been dissolved by the propaganda of
the Belsheviki party and were ready
for anything except to fight. The Ger
mans declared the Russian armies no
longer counted.
Spirit of Men Excellent.
1--WE spent fifteen days at the front
and talked with hundreds of officers
and we have spoken in impromptu
meetings to thousands of soldiers Our
impressions thus gained have been
verified with an exchange of views
with the soldiers and workmen's COM
mittees Everywhere we found that
the spirit of the men was excellent
We are convinced that Gen. Brussiloff'
the new Russian chief
was fully justified when he said on the
Gay he assumed the chief command
The Russian army has had grave
Illness. but it is ended and the army
today is fully convalesrent.'
Il would add, without being too
precise. that the Germans will soon be
able to see for themselves the Russian
army's complete recovery. The army
today is better equipped and trained than
1t ever has been. Impartial judges are
assured that the morale also has never
been more excellent
