the interest of his imperial master.
The bolsheviki also have indicated
that they do not have the best inter
ests of all Russia at heart in the
custer OF all opposition parties from
the central committee Of soviets. This
step is taken on the ground that op-
position parties are working for a
counter revolution.
Just what the allies have done in
rendering aid to Russia is a ques-
tion, though there are increasing signs
that the allied countries Of Europe
are endeavor1ne to sway the United
States to their way Of thinking in
regard to Intervention in Russia by
the japanese. Toxic has made it
plain that she is ready, but must have
full-hearted indorsement Of this
country, and furthermore has indi-
Gated that II any military steps are
taken to preserve Japan's interests
these must be taken by Japan alone.
Whether Japan would refuse to sane
tion an army OF Intervention made up
Of representatives Of all nations ar
rayed against Germany, Of course, is
problematical, but 1t is believed that
Toxic would consent to such step
when 1t is made plain that only

Russia be redeemed and Germanic In

it is intimated that these peoples are
ready to apply the match to revolu-

realizes its danger in this direction is
indicated by the circularization of the
nation stating that all counter revolu-

by the weight of arms. Undoubtedly
the present food riots will be utilized
