N|H|LISB STRIKES
BLOW At GERMAN
MILITARY AUTOCACY
Terror Of Russian Bomb Op-
posed to Terror Of
German Sword
By j. w. T. Mason

Omitted Press war expert)
New York, July S.-Nihilism has re-
turned to Russia. The assassination of
the German ambassador, Won Mirbach,
at Moscow, is the beginning of Rus
sia S re-awakening.
The same measures of desperate self
defense, enforced on the people by the
the absolutism Of the Romanoffs, have
been called again into play by the
ruthlessness of German dictation to
the present Slav government. Russian
liberty enmeshed by the Hohenzollern
militarists, is taking to bombing its
way to freedom, This new phase of the
revolution was bound to occur sooner
or later. The people who risked their
lives uninterruptedly for liberty under
the czar are not of the breed to be
c0wed forever by German militarism.
Opposed to the terror of the German
sword has come the terror Of the Rus
sian bomb Germany cannot destroy
this new enemity by force. Nihilism
floumshes best WHEN effonts at its
suppression are most relentless. 1t is
strange that the famous nihilist lead
ers have not gone into action against
the Germans before this. But, there
probably has been some reluctance to
set the terrorist bands at work anew
for fear they might interrupt the sue
cessful working out clf the revolution,
Now, however that German influ-
ences are plainly seen to be insidi-
ously trying to undermine the revolu-
ton, there is no reason why nihilism
should not resume its former policy of
meeting blood with blood.
The Germans are placed in very
difficult position by the assassination
of their ambassador If they take no
measure of reprisal their prestige will
fall. If, on the other hand, they insist
on assuming control Of the police de-
partments of Moscow and Petrograd,
they will inevitably invite still more
ferociOus bomb attacks.

hearings and favors an immediate re-
port.
Smith found some support and much
opposition to his plan for an immed-
late report. Many committee members
will demand exhaustive hearings.
