From northern Russia came the
news that revolution against the boil
Sheviki had broken out in Archangel
and that the soviet troops had fled
from the city which had been oCcu-
pied by detachment of allied SOL
ders.
The soviet government of Russia is
reported to have renowned all claims
to the great provinces of Esthonia
and Livonia, and these, together with
CourIand probably will be united I'M
der general government under Ger
man auspices.
From Copenhagen, the source OF
many lies, came the statement that
Turkey had severed relations with
Germany and Austria because of the
disputes between the Turks and Bull
garia over territory taken from Rou-
mania and Russia. There was every
evidence that this was "greatly exag-
gerated," as Mark Twain said OF the
report of his death, but there is no
doubt that Turkey is tired OF the war
and Is getting all the worst Of II. How

Turkish finances and in command OF
