Following Russin's Example

Attest adviccs regarding government MAX
/. ing in Germany indicate developments OF
the greatest Importance, i'll which the COM
bination of conservative elements heretofore
in control seems to have been displaced and
radical system substituted analogous to
that OF the existing Russian government. AS
officially announced, agreement has been
reached between the German soldiers and
workmen's council and the government pro-
viding that all power is TO be in the hands
of the German Socialist republic and the sol
dierS and workmenS council whose aim IS
to defend and develop what has been achieved
by the revolution and to suppress all coun-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT tivity. Pending the cleo
ton Of representatives of the soldiers and
workmens council to an executive council OF
the German republic, the executive council
in Berlin, created under the agreement. is
to exercise its functions. with full powers
of control of all governmental operations.
This is the kind Of government that the
Lenine-TrotZky combination pretended to set
up when the Kerensky government was over
thrown, and which quickly developed the
eXtrava sances that led TO the disintegration
ana anarchy, with accompanying terrorism,
prevalent throughout Russia. London
newspapers express the gravcst alarm over
the new turn of affairs, fearing that it may
portend n drifting into conditions not unlike
LipSc III 1huSSla. llbWeNeE, White the pOSSl-
bility of such Decentralization is not mini
mized. the view is expressed by some Of the
newspapers that the new development is part
% big bluff aimed at persuading the al
lies that the old Germany is OF the past and
their future dealings with it should take
into consideration the fact OF q chastened
and regenerated Germany, with its future
firmly committed 10 righteous popular gov
erument.
That the allies arc deeply concerned in the
Kaleidoscope changes taking place in Ger
many is a matter OF course. 1t is to their
interest and to the interest of the civilized
world that stable government be established
there as speedily as possible. The problem
OF subduing anarchy III Russia is big enough
to create gravest apprehension, without the
allies having to contend with any more of
that kind Of disorder ne rer their own bor-
ders. Germany realizes their fear Of spread
OF Boshevikism. hence it may be. as sug-
gested by the London press, that the Berlin
authorities are playing up the situation in
the hope of getting a modification Of the ar
mistice il possible, and, failing in that, to get
speeder action and more lenient terms in the
making of treaty.

IN this country and in Europe. for the
purpose of historical record These
have been stored in various places in
