The Russian situation continues to
hold an absorbing place in public in
terest.
Scant adyices from Petrograd in
dicate that while the Germans now
are striking against Finland and that
in the south the Austro-Hungarians
are making inroads into Podolia to
expel the bolsheyiki and secure the
country upon which SO much depend
ency has been placed for the feeding
of the Teutonic allies.
Ostensibly the German operations
in Finland are intended to drive out
Finnish revolutionists and bolsheviki
red guards from southern Finland,
but it is probable Germany desires
control of southwestern Finland to
as far as Helsingfors. This stretch of
territory along the northern shores Of
the Gulf Of Finland, taken in con-
junction with the holdings of the
Germans on the southern shore to
the region of Reval, would give the
invaders absolute mastery over the
western approaches to the gulf and
paralyze completely the movement Of
Russian ships Of war or commerce in
the Baltic.
To Ratify Treaty.
The terms of peace between the
Germans and the bolsheyiki have not
been made public. The treaty is.to
