HUN OPPRESSORS
HATED BY RUSSIA
Growing Resentment to Germ ans;
an Inspiration That is Drawing
All Glasses Closer Together.

According to news received from
Russia through independent Swedish
and Dutch channels. as forwarded from
Christiania in dispatch to the London
Times. rumors of the overthrow of the
Bolshevik government, which have been
current recently, are unfounded. They
probably are due to the fact that the
Soviet administration is now moving in
the direction Of greater moderation.
The council of national commissioners
is now being compelled to fight the
Anarchists, SAWS the dispatch, just as
kercnsky's government had to tight the
Bolsheviki Leon Trotsky, minister Of
war and marine. is advocating conpui-
sorv labor, resulting in friction with the
anarchists
Next to the establishment of the new
amy. the dispatch continues, the most
reass,,rinr feature is that officials of the
kerrnsky regime are resuming work. This
has resulted in restoration of order to
remarkable degree, especially in the dis
tribution of food: ifs. Many things
which no amount of speechmaklng could
formerly induce the people 10 do are now
be,nr done under the inspiration OF
steadily growing hatred on the part OF
the Russian nation for the German OPP
pressor.
ALLIES CAN SAVE RUSSIA
In commenting on its dispatch from
Christiania, the Times SAYS:

of the Russian people has never failed.

which is not surprising.
