TRE ALLIES
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, April 24.—Events in
Petrograd recently were the heaviest
blow against the German empire yet
struck.
This war is the most popular Rus
sia ever waged. From the start the
people put their shoulders to the
R'heel. But also from the start Rus
sian bureaucracy bungled at every
turn.
The army was left without supplies
Patriotic organizations like the /.em
stavos or municipality union, stepped
in and saved the situation for two
years.
The purely “peoples’ organizations”
have done everything.
Meanwhile the old regime grew un
easy. It saw the ground slipping
from underneath its feet. So it did
everything to hamper the patriotic
peoples’ workers. It declared the
Zemstvos, the war industry commit
te and other such movements “politi
cal organizations.” The Russian bu
reaucrats did their best to abolish
them.
Things went from bad to worse, as
this situation developed. The reac
tionaries tried their best to seize the
reins of control in the summer of
1916. They began by ousting Saza
no.% the liberal foreign minister.
Sturmer took the job, contralizing all
ministerial power in himself.
All along Russia’s soldiers knew
just what was happening. They have
always known who were their real
friends. They anticipated just what
■ - _ -
occurred—but they thought it would
not take place until after the return
of the soldiers from the war.
Abuses precipitated things—and the
revolution came sooner than ex
pected.
Such leaders of the provisional gov
ernment as I.voff (premier) Guchkoff
(minister of war), Milukotl' (foreign
secretary), Chingareff (duma leader),
and others are known and respected
throughout Russia. They were the
men behind the Zemstov movement.
They were prominent in all the peo
ples’ movements.
More than once they saved Russia.
From the start they have determined
to see a victorious Russia.
I had an opportunity to talk to each
one of these men when in Russia a j
few months ago. They all told me:
that a separate peace by Russia was i
impossible.
News of the successful coup by
which these firm men now control
Russia indicates that the real nation
now seems ready to enter the arena.

THE JAPANESE
AMSTERDAM, April II).—Under
the caption “The Biter Hit” the Kiel
nische Volks Zeitung prints an article
under a Berlin date which purports
to explain America’s plan in the Far
East. It says
“The antagonism between America
and Japan arose over China, but
Washington proved craftier than To
kio and forced China to break with
Germany by which action Japan like
Eseau was cheated of its rights as the
first born. President Wilson realized j
the importance of Chinese and Japan
ese questions better than any of his
predecessors and adopted a strong
policy in support of the prestige of
the United States, a policy which also
became anti-German.
“It would be wrong to attribute this
policy to pro-Britishism. During the
war President Wilson pursued an
American policy above all, to which is
ascribable America’s huge develop
ment of armaments. Every child
knows that no one in Germany ever
thought of the possibility of a Ger
man-American war. President Wil
son himself hardly seriously contem
plated a German danger, but did
contemplate a Japanese danger. This
is also fully understood in Tokio.”
The article says that on the sur
face nothing is more natural than
America should equip a giant armb
and fleet. It continues:
“They are not for use, however, in
this war, in which they will practical
ly not fire a shot, but for use after
ward against Japan. Thus our ene
mies play with their own allies the
game of the biter bit,’ with Japan
acting in the leading part.”

JUNKAU.—Senator Hill, who was
a Colorado legislator a quarter of a
century ago, and who is an Alaska
pioneer of 20 years’ standing, is now
on his way to Ixake, on a novel mis
sion.
The story begins with the fact that
Cordova has a live commercial organ
ization. It is that which is responsi
ble for the present mission.
The experience that the United
States government has had with rein
deer imported from Iceland also bears
an important relation to the project.
Along the southeastern Alaska
coast in the vicinity of Cordova, there
are a number of islands. Among -
. . ........ ’ . . ■ ■ .......
these are Montague, Hawkins, Mid
dleton and Hinchinbrook. They have
an abundance of vegetation and get
little snow in winter, and are capable
:>f sustaining thousands of deer.
I'here are no bears and no wolves.
I he Cordova Chamber of Commerce
intends to stock these islands and
provided for a future supply, of veni
son.
‘ The Alaska reindeer herds.” said
Senator Hill, just before he left for
Kake, “began with a half dozen and
now their numbers crowd a hundred
thousand. They furnish most of the
meat for the north country and very
soon they will furnish a valuable item
>f export. The Sitka deer may not
he so valuable an animal, but the
Cordova business men propose to see
what can be done with them.”
