On the Italian front the weather con-

brought to bear by the allies has been
of firm character. The Austrians have
been forced to readjust their positions
back of Monte Tomba, in the mountain
region between the Brenta and the
Piave, they having retreated several
hundred yards. The recent French Of

these are questions asked in practically
all entente capitals.
There can be no doubt but that the
bolsheyik negotiators at Brest-Litovsk
have torn the sheepskin from the back
of the German wolf and barred the shall
lowness of Germanic promises and demo-
cratic intentions, thereby mocking the
kaiser's repeated protestations of Teu-
tonic purposes in the present great
struggle, but though this may have been
accomplished, Russia has been thrown
to the uttermost depths of chaos by the
bolshevik leaders who, during the period

unable to respond in case Teutonic de-
mands aiming at aggressions are rejected.

Now President Wilson demands the
restoration of Serbia and Rumania. If
this be achieved the German Mittel-
europa is cut in half almost at the
waist; both banks of the Danube, its
main artery, will be in alien hands at
the Iron Gates; the Berlin -Byzantinm-
Bagdad railway. it's rail lifeline. will be
severed from Belgrade to the Rumanian
frontier. Turkey and Bulgaria will be
separated from Austria and Germany.
And with such a separation the whole
gigantic scheme must collapse.
But the President did not pause here.

raine. be surrendered on the west, and

Reasons Why
Distrust Crews,

n;.4r.4 c trusted to carry
''A "S' oa""s' out the principles
which they espouse, much as this is
desired by the working classes.
Hunger and desolation reign all over
the land. The bolsheviki at first won
followers by declaring that the bur-
geoise management of the transporta-
ton lines was starving the people
The breakdown has been even great
er under bolshevik control.
The bolsheviki promised the peas
ants land for themselves and immedi-
ately issued decree providing for
distribution. But the peasants have
not yet received this land They be-
lieved they would get it at once, but
have been held off under one pretext
and another.
Much as the masses desire peace they
do not desire peace which will en-
slave millions of their own flesh and
blood and this is the peace the boil
sheviki will now be forced to give
them. Notwithstanding their heralded
promises that there would be no an
nexations and no indemnities and that
all peoples would be free to decide
their own aairs. Bolshevik failure
in this case has further heightened
discomfort
The bolsheviki. instead of uniting
Asu1"i.' iie" ~ ehcii principles SO d1S-
organized it that today there is not
one Russia, but dozens of little Rus
sias, all working independently and in
opposition to authority in Petrograd.
Instead of financial security there is
complete disorganfzation Banks have
been seized. private fortunes confis-
Gated, paper money has lost value,
while the standard rule is practically
worthless, its purchasing power prac-
tically nil. Through the breakdown in
the financial affairs of the nation. the
utter lack of standard values, and
definite avenues of conducting even the
smallest of businesses, the people are
suffering untold hardships. The rich
and the poor alike are equal victims
or the misguided, anarchistic, financial
policies or the so-called peoples COM
missaries in Petrograd.
Through the lack Of coal. factories of
northern Russia have been closed. In
stead of steady employment, the work
men are idle and hungry and lilly clad.
The workers promised Eutopia has
proved an industrial hell
Instead of brotherhood of man and
equal rights for all. the bolsheviki have
ruled with iron hand, and hundreds
have been slain in the enforcement of
the radical regulations promulgated by
those in power in Petrograd There
has been brotherhood for bolshevik
brothers. but for no other class.
But possibly the chief thing to stir
dstrust in Lenine and Trotzky is their
complete opposition to the constituent
assembly. which the people believed
was to represent them. This body met
in Petrograd, but after one session. the

ment as expressed through Won Hert-
ling will be resented by a vast section
of the German population. which, ac-
cording to latest advices. is undergoing
severest Of hardships. AS one neutral
pressed it, "All militarisic policies of
tho world cannot forever Withstand
the gnawing pains of hunger" That the
German people are growing physically
faint, no matter what their determnia-
tion in the present struggle may be, is
indicated by advices emanating from
Germany in all directions.
Should Germany insist in inflicting
her territorial aims on Russia or cause
the breaking up of negotiations be-
tween the Russians because of demands
tainted with aggrandizement, the reac-
ton among the people who are eager
for peace and who have been led to
expect much of what they once deemed
was the democratic trend of the gov
eminent will be great. Whether or not
hunger and disappointment will lead to
the overthrow of the present German
regime is another question. The many
riots In Berlin and other large cities in
recent weeks may be taken as an indi-
cation Of the temper of the people.
There are increasing signs that the
pan-Germans not only have enemies
within Germany who are straining
every eHorC TO undermine their power,
but that Austrian people are in hearty
accord with the effort to strike the pam
Germans.
The recent disturbances in Austria
were heralded in Austria as a demand
for peace, as an indication that the
people would not go much further. The
German socialist papers seized upon
this and proclaimed to the German peo-
pie that peace sentiment, and not food.
was the cause of the disturbances
There has been marked demands for
peace by conciliation on every hand in
Germany, and SO unpopular have the
doctrines of the pan-Germans become
that many of their meetings have been
broken up by those who demand
peace without annexations and indem-
mites.
Though possibly not openly demand
ing annexations, there can be no other
safe Interpretation of Won Hertling's
speech. Just how far and how power
full the reaction among the people will
be remains to be seen, but that there
will be a reaction goes almost without
question.
