LEON TROTSKY'S BOOK

 Leon Trotsky's book on "rhe Bolsheviki and World Peace" published few days ago by Bon & Liveright in New York, clarifies confused situation It is great pity that the book not available previously. It contains data which would have been immensely valuable to allied government since the autumn revolution It would have made the work of the diplomats in Petrograd vastly simple l. would have spared popular opinion in the Allied countries a grave misapprehension.
 If Trotsky faithfully inerpres his comrades there is no ground for thinking that the Bolsheviki are pro German It should be immediately added that there is ground for thinking the Bolsheviki proAmercan, proBrtsh pro-French. The Bol sheviki appear logical Socialists of the Marxian brand They pro-proletariat Russian radicals generally appear to thing that the loans of French and British capitalists to the Czars government de- bitterness is not toward France Great Britain.
 Austria Hungary he dslikes of all being the principal stronghold of reactonsm Europe. but he has bitter denuncation for his German Socialists complicy in the war. With vigor and lucidy to be found in the war writing of persons other of the national spokesmen excepting always President Wilson, he demolishes the German plea of defensive His analysis of the German apologies for fore. ing the upon Europe masterly
 Trotsky, in his book least does not want German peace. He says "Germany's victory would the taking of the edge off the revolution ment, its theoretc shaowing. and the dying out of Marxist ideas" For the Bolshevik foreign minister there could be no greater catastrophe than this.
 It is well to understand precisely the existing government of Petrograd Russia may probably never again bear its full military share the conflict, but the less Russia is closed the political democ races of France, England and America than she is to imperiac, autocratc Germany Selfinterest, if noth ing higher demands that Russia be not abandoned to the Kasers emissaries

THE TURMOIL AT WASHINGTON

It is tremendous proposition to The heads of the Washington government have their hands about the most stupendous proposition that the human mind attempted. And it doesn't make it bit easier that Washington is all in turmoil and that the heads of the departments give a good part of their time to answering the questions of Con- gross and attending hearings of investigators.
 Considering the tremendous energy with which the government has pushed the preparations, it should be admitted by all that it is heart and soul in the for all it is worth. Suggestions that its zeal is being moderated by proGerman elements al Washington does not look plausible

LONDON: Amsterdam newspaper publishes documents said to have been obtained secretly from Ger man archives, showing that at the close of 1915 the German admiral ty prepared a memorandum to show that unrestricted U-boat warfare would compel Great Britain to sue for peace within six months. It was also expected to cause whole sale flight of neutrals from war zone. The chief danger was thought to be the United States, but bitter feeling here was not thought worth considering, because if Germany succeeded she could dictate terms to assure favored treatment for her self.
