Germany Sees a New
War Spirit in Russia
Bv Associated PrcSs

Copenhagen, March IT, via London.
The German view of the Russian
revolution, so far as it can be made
out from the press comments tele-
graphed here and from utterrances in
informed German circles is that. the
revolution by no means pressages a
weakening of the conduct of the war
for the time being. No hopes of a
changge in Russia's determination to
continue the struggle or If overtures
for separate peace are expressed.
On the contrary, it seems to be be-
lieved that the new regime will prove
even more of war government than
its predecessor.
There seems to be disposition in
certain quarters under whose inspira-
ton Germany has maintained a head
quarters at Stockholm under the guild
ance of Hamburg banker as a hot
bed for cultivating sentiment for u
separate peace that the day of EN-
peror Nicholas abdication may be
celebrated as the birthday of peace
but this idea finds little favor in what
are believed to be the best informed
German circles.

against the Empress in almost every
gathering where people privately as
sembled to discuss the political stu
alton. From the tribune of the Duma
the same thing was limited in yelled
form. Professor Milukoff, in his ad-
dress at the opening of the Duma. last
November. read an account from
German paper which spoke of a group
of mysterious persons who were gath
cred around the young Empress. He
used this article as the basis for an
attack upon the dark forces which
reflected the pro-German influence at
the court.
1t was the general conviction when
the revolution began that it had been
provoked 'by the government, working
through the medium of the police,
and that the government had decided
upon this daring expedient as the
means of completing its previous eff
forts to tie up the industrial activity
of the country and bring the war oper-
ations to complete Standstill. But
the force which set in motion and
which first appeared easy to control,
drawing to itself all the discordant
elements fthe country which were
awaiting an opportunity to revolt, soon
became so tremendous that it was
impossible to hold.
People Almost Dazed
So swiftly, Unexpectedly and COM
pletely did the great change come that
the people are almost daZed and seem
scarcely able to understand what has
occurred. Injured through centuries
to the grinding oppression of autocra-
tic rule and regarding freedom as Il
glorious dream which would forever
remain a dream, the people seem dis
posed to regard their liberation as
merely temporary respite which must
soon give way to the ancient law OF
imperial will.
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
six million men at the front the new
regime cannot endure. There is no
reason to suppose that the soldiers on
the fighting line will show different
attitude from the soldiers and civilians
in Petrograd and the other cities ex-
cept in as far as their remoteness from
the scenes of the revolution and par
tlaI ignorance of the conditions which
brought it about may affect them. But
since upon their acceptance hinges

BURGESS FAVORS
EDUCATION PLAN
Explains How Badly Steelton
Needs to Educate It's
Foreigners

Burgess Fred Wigfield heartily en-
dorses the Americanization League
plan suggested by THE HARRIS
BURG TELEGRAPH, for the educa-
tion of the foreign element in the bor-
ough. Educational leaders are giving
it their hearty support and believe
that the plan will be a feasibility in
q short time.
In supporting the move the Burgess
to-day said:
'The need of an organization of
this kind is obvious in sections of
Steelton where foreigners are CEN
trally located. A nights visit to these
localities will give the visitor an idea
of the ignorance of these residents to
American ideas.
when coming to this country the
foreigner is housed in a dingy tene-
ment house and all he is aware of is
that he is in America. He cannot talk
a word of English and when employed
by an American among the first
things he learns to do is to use pro-
fame language. He is next educated
to the idea of drinking.
However, not q few of these peo-
pie have become educated to Amer
lean ideas and are trying in vain to
educate their newly-arrived fellow
men. This they find is a great task
and it is up to us Americans to de-
wise a method of training
Several residents could give a few
hours one day each week to assist in
teaching and the churches could be
used as school houses. The idea is
one that is worth serious attention
and educational organizations of the
town should not hesitate to take up
the work with the Young Mems He
brew Association, which has already
decided to give it's hall and an in
structor one evening each week.

slave our country God has wished to
send to Russia a new and painful trial.
Interior troubles threaten to have q
fatal repercussion on the final out
come of the war. The destinies of
Russia and the honor of our dear
fatherland require that the war be
prosecuted at all cost to a victorious
end. The cruel enemy is making his
last effort and the moment is near
when our valiant army. in concert
with those of our glorious allies, will
definitely chastise the foe.
I'm these decisive days in the life
of Russia we believe our people should
have the closest union and organ
ization of all their forces for the
realization of speedy victory. For this
reason, in accord with the duma of
the empire, we have considered it de-
sirable to abdicate the throne of Rus
sia and lay aside our supreme power.
Not wishing to be separated from our
loved son, we leave our heritage to our
brother, the Grand Duke Michael
Alexandroyitch, blessing his advent to
the throne of Russia. We hand over
the government to our brother in full
union with the representatives of the
nation who are seated in the legislative
chambers, taking this step with an
inviolable oath in the name of our
well-beloved country We call on all
faithful sons of the fatherland to full
fill their sacred patriotic duty in this
painful moment of national trial and
to aid our brother and the repre-
sentatives of the nation in bringing
Russia into the path of prosperity and
glory. May God aid Russia"

still think there is something in
that sentiment.


that sentiment.
1t is urged against the volunteer
plan that it takes the best men and
lets the Stacker get out of rendering
the service he ought to give, and this
is true. No Stacker is gong to en-
list if he can help it. But on the
other hand, because the best men
are the ones who volunteer, they
make the best soldiers. The kind of
men that an army is made up of has
much to do with its efficiency and
fighting qualities. Because Amer
can soldiers have been volunteers is
one reason for the honors they have
won, and there have been no better
soldiers than the American volun-
teers, whether in the regular or the
volunteer service.
Upon the other hand, CONSUMPTION

sacrifice they make in doing so. Be-
cause the methods each have much
in their favor is why the sentiment
in congress is so divided over which
to choose.
