MORAHT OPPOSES
 MOVE ON RUSSIA
Germans May Be ThHarted by
 Spring ThaW

Berlin, March 27, via London. March 2S.-The idea Of a great of- fensive against Russia in order to take advantage of her supposed demoral- ization is not regarded with favor by Major Moraht, military expert of the Iageblatt. Major Moraht writes:
 The foreground of interest still lies Tn the situation on the western front. From a purely military standpoint I must say that for the time being no change need be expected Political which our military au- thorities must take into account, prob ably will not be influenced by events m Russia. This must be emphasized because many politicians already see the sun of peace rising in the East and peace that we ,s are to win through operations of force.
 T would consider, It.. .Wiser to give the conflict between the Russian army and the provisional government more chance to develop. This weakening of our enemy can continue without our help and yet without precluding our attack at the moment when an Inclination is shown to give up resist ance.''

END AUTOCRACY, IS
 CRY OF THE WORLD
Freedom Vs. Serfdom One Plank
 Of Universal Platform

London, March 2s.-Through Eng land and France there is a universal discussion of the proposal that, in view of the Russian revolution. the close of the present war must be fol- lowed by the promu1gation of peace terms which will bring. an end to autocratic institutions anywhere in the world.
 It is urged that as China, now a re- public, has entered the war, Russia has become a democracy and the United States is practically certain to enter the conflict. the worlds democ- racies will be pitted against the last remnants of autocracy and it will be possible. by pushing the war to a de- cisive finish. to place the entire world upon a permanent democratic basis. With that accomplished 1t would be possible to effect a worldwide feder- at;on of democratic governments safeguarding future peace and pro- noting the general welfare of man. kind.
 The idea has been seized upon en- Enthusiastically and is being cham pioned by the press in both France and England. Parliamentarians have pointed out that such program would be. certain to command the support of the socialistic and demo- cratic clements in Germany and Aus tria Hungary, thus weakening the hold of the Hohenzollern and Haps- burg influences.
 The plan, as discussed by writers in newspapers. gives added enthus- iasm to the proposals for making war on the greatest possible scale, direct- ly forcing the issue and bringing about complete victory.
 The participation of America will be regarded as a signal for the world wide democratic crusade It is be- Viewed that the political and military cooperation of America will make the furtherance of such cause more than possible.
 Special enthusiasm has been occa-f stoned by the reports that the United States will tender enormous financial support to the Allies It is widely felt Is authoritative military and po- litical circles that the United States can give most efficient aid in this way. rather than through actual mi1- itarv participation.

SURPRISE FOR AUSTRIA.

The authorities are dis pleased. these persons say, that the representative men of Vienna should have shown so little confidence in national loans as to ignore chances to invest in them, but embraced the, opportunity to lend to the city, there by at least inferentially discrediting the value Of national securities.
