turbances large bolshevik procession.
consisting OF armed soldiers. workmen,
women and children and prisoners of war
was crossing the theater square when two
revolver shots were fired from the win

that ensued the Red Guard and soldiers
started a disorderly fire, killing and
Wounding many women and children.
Firing then began in other parts of the
town, from what cause is unknown. and
to increase the panic a field gun was
fired in the air in front of the governor
generals house. The premises of a ward
soviet were blown up. A large number Of
arrests have been made among the so
cial revolutionaries in Moscow and n
certain number here. During the last
few days number of former high ON

Gulf Separates Enemies.
The Daily Telegraph says editorially:
"Von Hertling's speech exposes in an
fact that in Germany these miIitarist
parties have gained remarkable as
cepdancy. The spirit throughout is that
of Germany as a conqueror, of the allies
conquered. Here is Count Won Hertling
calmly proposing that we. who have to
keep up communications with Egypt, In
dia and the far east, should abandon our
defensive security and deliberately smash
links. in the chain which connects Great
Britain with her vast empire. The really
Teutonic lack of humor verges on the
stupendous. No better instance than
this much debated freedom of seas could
be quoted to prove the absolute and
hopeless chasm which separates like a
great gulf the fixed views Of the allies
and the central powers"
Aimed to Shake Defense.
The London Times says: "A Joint at
tack is obviously intended to shake the
solidarity of the defense at several diff
ferent points. but President Wilson is

lieves if only he could trap the allies
into a conference he could surely divide

Declaring it probably will be neces-

which the study and analysis of the

be willing, at the proper time, to in

is my opinion, however, that it will be
necessary to study the law for a brief
time in action before it can be def
initely determined in what respects ad-
ministrative changes are required for
It's equitable and proper application. 1t
Is my idea, therefore. to let the bill
operate for a time, and, in the mean
time. give very careful general study
to our fiscal situation and future pos

introduced touching internal revenue
matters Will contain in a consolidated

LONDON, January 26.-The Morning
Post thinks Chancellor Won Hertling's s
evident anxiety to placate America Is
very remarkable and cannot reconcile his
professed agreement with President Will
sons general principles while differing as
to details, but assumes that the speech
was constructed, as SO many have inter-
preted it. with equal reason to opposite
senses. After making an indignant con-
demnation of. the proposal that Great
Britain give up Gibraltar and other de-
fenses the Post says:
Now having received another proof of

Peace Is Not Aided.
The Telegraph fears that the speeches
of the German chancellor and the Austro-
nothing to the pacif1cation of Europe and
believe there is no radical divergence in
the views of Germany and Austria The
Telegraph says that the chancellor S
views are especially important because
he exposes unmistakably the fact that
the militarist party in Germany has
gained remarkable ascendancy.
The Manchester Guardian draws the
conclusion from the two speeches that the
Austrian government seriously desires
peace. but that the German government
is determined upon a great new offensive.
"If, as appears says the Guardian,
Austria agrees to restore Serbia and
Rumania, and if the mediation OF the
United States can once adjust the diff
Guilty with Italy, there Is nothing between
her and peace except the domination Of
Berlin, and it will be the task of the
allies to support Austria in resistance to
that tyranny"

The Guardian considers that If Count
