FsppFAPT7yc like one resurrected from the dead, the
II advent Of the former Russian premier and dictator
alexander F. Kerensy, to England is one Of the most
interesting events Of recent days FoI months IOe l1
known what had become Of him Truth to tell anyone
sat up nights waiting for news Of him. he iacI mas ny
become public. However, his somewhat draIauC
auoe before the labor conference in England created IN
terest through its surprise element
Kerensv at once assumed authority to speak Tor the
II hear witness that the Russian people never viii
recognize the BesLtoysk treaty which hurled Russia INTO
the sbvss Of annhation he said He added that Russia
still opposed the enemy invasion and would welcome aeo
assistance in driving Germany out
M Kerensy's mission seems to be to appeal for heP
for Russia both in England and the United States ne
has announced his intention Of visiting this country "lln
short time He viii find that both England ana A1eCa'
IN fact all allied nations, are Wlllng 10 neP HlsSa
soon as there is evidence Of majority sentiment IN Russia
Of people willing TO help themselves and at the same TINE
Wiling to accept outside assistance -
Ultimately through the defeat Of Germany, Russia VIII
he freed Of foreign oppression. That may take long time
# PusSia desires as Mr. Kerensy indicates, immediate
freedom from the invader, 1t is up the Russians them
selves say and to show their willingness TO heP
themselves
IF the Russian people were to rse and undertake even
guerilla warfare against the Germans and Austro-
Hungarsns meager forces Of the enemy now IN Russia
could not hold the country week Germany would oe com
PEELED TO abandon the offensive N the WesJ ana Ius
large contingent Of troops the east The Russian army
is dsorganzed is true, but there evidence that there
still remain under arms important units winch could soon
become the nucleus Of force quite troublesome TO any
enemy Moreover, have It from winters, that pIac-
rirs evev Russian soldier at the time Of the demobza-
tion retained his rifle and supply Of ammunition Il
that is true guerilla warfare could hold the feld ior
several months least until the allies could put troops
and munitions Russia and undertake to aid the TeoTgan
ization Of real Russian army.
II the Russian people really wanted help Tor the le
date expulsion Of the enemy they would invite the powers
10 send all troops possible into the country TO hight Ger
many, and would facilitate their transport instead OF
threatening oppose it. They would seek an under
standing with Japan that Japan would not make me SEND
ing Of ePedOnary force into Russia the prer 1oI
demanding territorial compensation and they would then
help Japan transport many troops possible over the
trans-Sberiau railway. They would welcome as many
trooas Of the other allies could be landed IN Russia to
seu their forces Creation Of an effective ughtg
force out Of an assembage Of allied troops and the dis
ORGANIZED Of Russian troops would be the most
monumental task ever faced by army commander II
the face O. enemy opposition but 1t conceivably could be
done not without the consent and aid Of the Russian
people.
AS matter Of fact there is nothing to indicate any
thing approaching unified sentiment IN Russia There
IS nothing TO indicate that the Russian people whole
have any opinion whatever in common Least Of all IS
there any indication Of united desire TO resist German
aggression
Therefore so far as judge the appeal Of Keren
sky falls fiat his statement that the Russian people
never viii accept the Bres-LoTsk treaty Is not borne
ont BY obvious facts. They have accepted It, whether
willingly CT not They enduring 1t. The enemy Is
having his way with Russia with scarcely trace Of oppo
stiou In fact leaders have opposed German DONNA
tion and pleaded with the country to resist have beer
eed OF shot their patriotism Most Of the million!
Of soldiers who composed Rusas army do not want
10 fight ANYBODY not even the dePoers Of their country
In fact they realize that they have country su
as Russia used to BE- They consider Russia split up int
large number Of independent nations Really they
interested little the home town the home farm
For the country whole they little none al all
Thus informed and appearances bear ont the IN
formation
There are but two hopeful signs in Russia, the frs
being the warfare Of the CzechoS07aks against the Bolshe
Wiki and probably that viii not amount to a great dea
