THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

Tho Bolshcvik regime IN Russia
seems to be nearing its end. From the
mass Of contradictory reports that come
from that country, il seems reasonably
certain tina; the Bolshsvik LEADERS arc
without funds without supplies and
without means of relieving the distress
that prevails among their own people
This situation. however. does not make
absolutely clear the policy Of the AL
lies. Even with the Botshevik e1innnat-
cd IL does not seem that safe and sano
clements in Russia are numerous
enough 20 form stable government
ON the other hand the Allied powers
have no great desire to send an uny
into Russia and 10 sacrifice the lives OF
their own soldiers 70 restore peace TO
that disordc-ed country. The Russian
pot may boil for some time to come, and
Prussia pcnt. up with her own misery
may be compelled TO undergo longer
.rv7n OF suffering before = foundation is
laid for a stable government
