IN RUSSIA.

Ominous is the word best de- scribed the report comes out of Russia that that nation may be com pelled to have a dictator in order to force order.
 The cure of the evil is worse than the disease. Surely Macaulay IS right when he says the cure for the evils of Liberty is more Liberty a truth should not be forgotten Ill countries less remote than Russia or in times far more presently than are those whereof the English his torian spoke.
 That Russia is in serious inter ma; condition one cannot doubt. u is impossible to suppose revolt which changes as it were overnight the established system and that the various social molecules will be- come there and then immediately auiescent and stable.
 Quite the contrary is to be ex- nected The revolution let loose the forces that had been actively Ter menting under the regime or the Tzar and the Bureaucracy. Those forces will surge and rise and man. tain a considerable internal activity for considerable time until uiti- matelv they will become again lnte- grated in some sort of social coale- scence.
 Ii may be quite reasonable to un' derstand that the Entente ana no" also the United States would much ,rafer that Russia would continue be an active factor in the war. Rus sia. it will be rightly maintained was the reason for the active paru- cipation of Great Britain ana France in the war.
 Rut when we speak of Russia we sneak of the bureaucratic authorl's of Russia which asked no permis- sion to engage in war Of the hus' sian people, but the latter actiVelS engaged therein upon peremptory orders from those in authority.
 Hence after fighting for three years and enduring unheard or prl' vatious and desperate slaughter the Russians are tired of the war which thev had no voice in bringing abou' and which they fought in because of the sheer impossibility Of escape from doing so.
 Moreover, the elements which arc now the most vital elements Ill the present life of Russia, the revoiu tionary socialists showed no dlspo sition to unequivocally support th' war and today they are admittedl! ready for peace and not only read! but anxious and eager.
 To them apparently the possiDli itv of a German military menace ha no terror. Without strong mlii tary organization they successluii. held it at bay. Russia at no tlm was defeated unless when entrappe' by treacherous leaders like Renneh kampf and others, or when actuail. without arms and without ammunl tion. A great and growing country with greater riches to be opened u than any other, the Russian seem willing to give way to his love o peace one of the essential charac teristic of the Slavic race.
 The mere fact that many l Russia are anxious to make peac with Germany reveals the fact Una Germany has no terrors at all fo them They are not conJuring Il wild bogies of a Prussian milital ism nor are they alarmed at all . the specter of Prussian imperialisi with a destiny to conquer the worl' They rather despise the bomba' of the junkers who asked six week to conquer France, six months conquer Russia and year to vii England off the map. They kno very we'll that the Germans cann' do it, and they are not afraid give them another era of peace all allow them to build up another m litary organization to again try u impossible task of foisting that D culiar thing that we are all mike up about, the German kultur.
 So it would be big mistake
 imagine that it is because the Ru sians, that Is the Russian people, ( a large portion of them, want peac
