RESIDUE-RUSSIA NEW
NAME FOR RUSSIA

Amsterdam, April 3O.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
"Residue-Russia" is the name given
to what is left of the Russian empire
by Prof. Paul Rohrbacy, the German
historian. Lecturing before a large
audience in Berlin, he said:
"Petrograd, shorn of the western
provinces, the Ukraine, and Bessara-
bia, is only a residue. Danger from
Russia in any shape is no longer to
be feared by Germany. Russia is
now a mere geographical conception
and nothing more. And it will be
anything else. Its powers of cohe-
sion, reorganization, and reconstruc-
ton, are gone forever.
GAS a world-power Russia has ceas-
ed to exist, and all the talk about
the great nation which has not yet
been destroyed is simply sentimental
rubbish. The nation no longer ex-
lists save as an inchoate mass. Resi-
due Russia may still have 100,000,00O
inhabitants. This looks stupendous,
but it contains no element Of danger.
The great resource and reliance of
Russia used to be her export of grain.
Residue Russia dees not possess this.
All the talk of Russia's inexhaustible
resources is a legend. Residue-R Rus
