1t is quite evident that Trotzky has
been counting on a real revolution Of
the workers of Germany. and It is
equally evident that no such revolution
is forthcoming in the near future. The
widespread strikes which were hailed
with joy by the foolshly optimistic
were quickly crushed by the military
power Of the government, many Of the
leaders forced into the army and the
rank and file OF the workers driven
back to their labor. In this internal
struggle the German autocracy seem
ingly did not yield single point to the
democracy, though some effect of the
strikes may appear in the future. The
radical leaders in the empire are not
backing water, any more than are their
autocratic opponents, and the situation
there is still critical.

Adding to their own troubles, the
bolsheviH decreed the separation of
church and state and seized all church
property for the people, which aroused
the patriarch of Russia to excommuni-
cate some Of them and to call for
holy war.
An uncokhrmed report said Polish
troops had captured MohIleV, head
quarters of the bolsheviki army, and
had captured Commander in Chief
Krylenko and his staff.
A deadlock over the question of the
Ukraine put an end. for the present

Brest-Litovsk The Germans, 1t was

soldiers council at Moscow called on
the government to form volunteer
socialist army and continue resistance.
Meanwhile economic and food condi-

Russia are growing steadily worse.

HARRIS CONFE:RS

WASHINGTON, Mar. 29.--Cnaifnap
w. J. Harris, of the federal trade com
mission, who is the administration can
didate for United States senator in
Georgia to succeed Senator Hardwick
obstructionist held a long conference
with President Wilson at the White
House this afternoon In the course
OF the conference Georgia politics was
naturally referred to and it is no Sc
cret although Mr. Harris refuses to dis
cuss the matter, that the president is
not only thoroughly familiar with
every feature of the Georgia situation.
but IS keenly alive to the great re.
spCnsibility resting upon the patriotic
citizenship of that state to show frat
states loyalty at the polls in Septem-
Der by defeating the incumbent, who
has led the faction in the senate that
had temporized on every essential war
measure and embarrassed the govern
ment in its prosecution in every posi-
bic way
That President Wilson is openly and
avowed for Mr.. Harris for senator is
now generally known, and there is no
longer any speculation as to his posi-
ton 1t has been made clear in letters
from the president to friends of the
administration in Georgia, and the
president is willing that his position
shall be known and thoroughly under
stood. I made this clear in my dis
patch of last week on the subject.

Who Is to Blame Tor This Lxnchna

Who Is to Blame for This Lynching +?
Says the Dalton Citizen:
The Citizen has no desire to un-
justly criticize any Public official of
THIS state, but it is ashamed of the
states record as to Iynchings for
any cause from misdemeanor to
the unspeakable crime.
We recognize that any person, white
or black, is entitled to fair trial for
his life and liberty. We also know
that the courts delays in many instan-
ces have been responsible for lynch
ings.
We have just noticed in the papers
about the unfortunate lynching at
Clawfcrdville last week as the re
suit of Governors respiting> a negro
who was under sentence of death for a
critical crime. We are not saying the
mob was justified in its action be
cause Governor Dorsey respited the
negro, for there is no excuse for mobs.
They are always as lawless as the
acts of which they complain. How
ever no public official, either execu-
] tive or judicial, should commit an act
that tends TO give to lynchers a sem.
blance of justification for their COW
ardly work
We are not acquainted with the
merits Of the case in question. We
are simply making illusions to it
and few deductions form it.
II will be remembered that one OF
the strongest planks in Governor Dor
seys platform was non-interference
with court decisions as to capital
cases, and if we have read Alright
Governor Dorsey himself has used this
prerogative as much. if not more
than the governors Immediately pre-
ceding him. When a man runs fol
a high office on very extreme ant
radical platform he has hard time
living up to his professions once ht
is in Office

was sunk at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. forty miles of the Vir-
einia capes. according to an an
nouncement of the Navy Department
last night. The entire crew was res
cued by a Navy supply ship.
This news makes it evident that the
raiders have been moving steadily
southwark from the New Jersey coast.
Apparently they were back on Tues
day to the locality where they drst
began attacking coasting schooners.
When they attacked the Eidsvold
the raiders were closer to the shore
than on any previous occasion, except
when they launched mines picked up
off the Delaware capes. The tanker
Pratt struck one of these mines. and
a number of others which were not
exploded have been picked up In the
same vicinity by patrol craft.
The French tanker Radiolefne, un-
successfully attacked at $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning off the Maryland
coast, probably was hundred miles
north of the place where the Eidsvold
was sunk eight hours later.
The statement announcing the de-
struction of the Eidsvold was brief.
1t said:

rine about forty miles or the Vir-
