plane and made all speed for the French
lines The Germans left their trenches
in pursuit. keeping up hot fire with
rifles and machine guns
Chasseurs from the French lines, wit

Germans. killing one and driving the

War Against Russian People.

German war against the soviet means
war against the Russian people. For
the hrst time the Russian people see
Germany as a menace to themselves
individually. Before they saw the
Germans only as a menace to their
car. Consequently there is growing
up throughout the country in every
village and every household the
knowledge that peace is impossible
and that If Russia is to avoid a re-
turn to autocracy Germany must be
beaten.
In the early days we might have
Drought this home through education
Experience, although it has nearly
wrecked the nation in the process,
has convinced them with more vivid
ness than education ever could have
done.
The bo1sheviki are decidedly un-
pleasant bedfellows. They are ex-
tremely hard to- work with. The soviet
is new. crude, extremely narrow
ana uncompromising government, but
sfne soviet is convinced that further
war with Germany is unavoidable
Thus the allies, after five months of
despair over the Russian situation. at

Lenine says: 'The present situation is
better than the one we will have in
the near future. In April and May
there will probably be no bread at all
ana the railways will be overloaded
with prisoners returning from Ger

ing altogether
It is doubtful If the allies can do
much with the situation, but we can
not AFFORD to overlook anything, no
matter how small. Perhaps Russia will
not put large organized army in the
0elds. She may cost us much useless
labor and large amount of money.

Fishermen operating nets in the

The drift net fishermen are unable to
drift their nets and the muddy water

Receipts of shad and herring from

Soviet Signed Agreement That
Even Itself Regarded as
/ Shameful.

~ LOUIS EDGAR BROWNE.
Cablexram to The Evening Star and

MOSCOW. Russia. April 15.-The
soviet pledged itself to the peace pro-
gram. The program was impossible OF
fulfllment. The soviet tried it and
found 1t wanting. The soviet was
forced to sign peace which even itself
regarded as shameful. The peace nego-
tiations and their result caused the
wool to fall from before the Russian
eyes and the truth is gradually being
driven home. The peace negotiations
showed Germany in her true light and
proved her greedy desire for ag-
grandizement. The peace program re-
suited in disaster.
Now the soviet admits that its policy
was wrong. Its other extreme ideals
are gradually being modified or dis
carded If wholly impracticable. Work
mems control of industry. repudiation
Of the national debt and the national
ixation of the banks are all sliding
toward a less radical position. The
soviet Is learning through bitter ex-
perience that many of its projects are
absolutely impracticable, but when the
4mpracticability of scheme is demon
etrated the soviet shows a tendency to
abandon 1t in favor of a more moderate
plan or abandons 1t altogether.
Germany pumped extreme socialism
into Russia. which received it with such
unexpected rapidity and violence that
the poison reacted and poured back into

Tainted With Same Poison.

Austria, the weak sister. was already
tainted with the same poison that de-
! stroyed old Russia If Russia again
goes to war we can rely upon her con-
Quoting a gigantic revolutionary cam
paign against Germany. The German
people are probably too sensible to
listen to her seriously, but one must
remember that the population of Aus
tria Is Slavic and akin to the Russian
Slavs. The Russian Slavs fell hard for
extreme socialism. Why should not the
Austrian Slavs also do so?
The soviet is as powerful as ever
despite its signature to a shameful
peace and its evacuation of the capital.
The soviet government today is as real
as the Russian people. There exist
within the country no visible forces
that can oust the soviet from power.
The soviet pledged itself to a program
OF peace. The soviet made peace and
now finds that it is a peace in name
only and not a fact. The soviet re-
members the threat of the German
Gen. HOFFMAN. who said that Germany
Invaded Russia for the purpose of ex-
terminating the bolsheviki (the soviet)
who endangered civilization. The
soviet Is not deceived by the false peace
which Germany dictated or the present
existing calm. Il expects further at
