To these may added few of the great musicians

to say, about the only men, Jews prominent in

THE KAISER WOULD OVERTHROW THE BoLsHEvlkl.
Outside of the contractual parties the Brest-Litovsk
treaty between the German Empire and more or less
de tacto 8oshevlki government is not regarded
manent document in the worlds history And yet it
binding between the two sgnatories thereto

side of the bargain The Germans acknowledged and
recognized the vctors and it might be reasonably
expected that they would deal in liberal magnanimous
spirit with their vanquished foes.
Not only they not but they ruthlessly
and barbarously unjust They secretly violated the pre-
mnary terms of the armstice and after has
been formally and legally agreed they keep their armies

The explanation is obvious. 1t is the reversal of the
Russian revolution with all that implied in

their caow and crude schemes of administration and
Kerensky in hiding, Trotsky has resigned
