But it the army stands back of the Duma order will emerge from chaos, the pegple will become united as never before, and the offensive against Germany will assume a character be- yond .anything of which Russia has shown herself capable in the past.” Mr. Kennan, who spent years in Russia, who speaks the language and whose sympathies for the . people, coupled with his writings and general activities, resuited in being barred from the country simce 1901, .dis- cussed the sitdation yesterday in his home, 1,038° Fifth avenue, from the viewpoint df an observer who has maintained his own clipping bureau on Russian affairs, and who sub- acflbes regularly to several Russian perjodicals. The present revolution, Mr. Keénan believes, is the remsult if forces which had been operating in the empire since the beginning of the war, brought to a climax by the increas- ingly acute food situation in Russia. These forces have been the slowly spreading education of the people and, .a growing appreciation, as dis- closed’ in war activities,. of the fajlure of the bureaucracy to meet the complex situations, arising from the war. They were manifested in the past by an increased determination in the character of the Duma, which de- manded, and caused to he made, fre- quent changes in the ministry. Since the pu;brnk of the war there had ‘Deen mnearly twenty changes in the ministry, but, though the Duma was gtrong enou.h to effect a .change, of ‘personnel, It _had not the strepg to bring a change of policy, and #as | deeding, ministers had eac ve and. peactip of | Thus- Goremykin was forced out of the premiership and his place was turned over to Sturmer; the latter was succeeded by General Trepof, and after a few weeks he turned his portfolio over to Prince Galitsin, who now, presumably, 1s in jail. How | poorly the Duma fared in striving to effect a change of politics with its changes of Prime Ministers is dis- closed, according to Mr. Kennan, by the fact that Prince Galitsin is little knbwn outside of Russia, . snd . in Russia is chiefly renowned: for : His razgrom, or violent dispersal of the Zemstvo of - Tver, the provincial as- sembly of the Province of Tver, of which he was governor some _eight or ten years ago. The Zemstvo was notably Liberal in feeling, and Prince Galitzin lost no time in dis- banding {t by bringing charges of se- dition inst” its leading ‘members, and, under the military law, un(-hmz and exiling them, Ministers Were l’nvflenu,n, The cabinet, which has just now ceased to exist as such, was nearly as'reactionary in tendency ss was its leader. the premier. . Protopopoff, the minister of the interior, was suspect- |- ed with Ghlitzin, rightly or wrongly, of sympathy for Germany, or at least a lukewarmness in war. Others were known to the people to be under the influence of Rasputin, the disreput- able pseudo-monk who was the czar's chief adviser, and were known to have attended at his levees, where officials in search of preferment were forced to hunt ‘it. = This was the political complexion of Russia’s ruling body, according ts Mr. Kennan, but, bad as this was in the minds of the people, it &would mot have sufficed to bring about a revo- lution had they not \been fired by a | series of affronts at the hands of the bu ucrats. 'he cause of the general discon- tent may be summarized in this way,” sald Mr. Kepnan, ‘“Keep in Mmind that the war party is the people. The peace party is the bureaucracy, which naturally fears for its jobs if victory, in the war should lead to the grasp of greater power by’ the peo- ple. Now, it was seen early in the war, that the bureaucracy was un- able to cope with the tremendous problems the conflict created. There had been many Germans in Russian service, and many of these professed their allegiance and stuck to their posts with the hope of hindering Russla’s military ' procedure. ~ How well they succeeded became known when it ‘was reported to the Dum. that' a ‘trainlgad of ammunition ha’d’ been dispatched across - Biberia to Vladivostock, while the Grand Duke Nicholas was awaiting it anxiously in “Presently's delenuon of 'orkmag $3.50 and 34-00. v tog, it um. to the amnflon of the’ Duma that the government ammuni- tion works was observing ninety-one An nnusudly‘m“ display of correct tailored suits spring at $25. oo each.

This included Sun- |/ days, but the Duma realized ,as did the common . people, that the men should .work ‘e day in.the week, including even days, if the army was .to he supplied praperly. The Dumas put the unrest of the people into’ words and demanded a ministry in which'the people could have con- fidence’ and which should show by its acts that it was not in sympathy with Germany and, perhaps, ready to con- clude a separate peace Wwith the enemy. Press Censorship Adds Fuel. *The Liberals were loudest in voic- ing the demand, They effected & change of ministry, though not of policy, and then, under excuse of mili- tary necessity, the bureaucrats ten- sored the press and farbade the pub- lication of the deliberations of the Duma, even where these concerned internal affairs. Naturally, the people were frightened first, fearing 'some terrible -defeat, and then were outraged at this further curtailment of their liberty. “There was scarcely an effort to concegl the purpose hind this cen- sorship, for the governor of Kiev or- dered that only the speeches of liberal members should be suppressed and he freely permitted the publica- tion of speeches by the conservatives and reactionaries. Rodzianko, presi- dent of the Duma, took the matter up, and, instead of complaining to the Crar or to the Council of the Empire, the Russian upper hous? and the as: 'sembly of nobles, he telegraphed his camplaint direct to the Grand Duke Nicholas in'the field: He_ followed this up with a visit to the Grand Duke’s headquarters, and, on his re- turp, it was freely rumared that Nicholas was in_symbathy with the liberal block in the ma. “The Czar took rm, 'and this probably -had much to do .with the transfer of the Grand Duke to the Caucasus. However, the incident had served to arouse the people, and they were further aroused when Pratopo- poff issued an order that police officials must be admitted to every meeting of the Union of Zemstvos and the Union of ‘Municipalities, and even to meetings of their executive com- mittees. “These great unions had ,been formed by the people to ald the gov- ernment, and they resented the re- flection on their patriotism when Pro- topopoff ardered that the police cen- sors should have the right to stop any speech and even to disband a meeting. “The uniops had establishied shops be- hind the lines, where soldliers could have talloring and cobbling dane. iThey had attended to disinfection and vaccination, and in & hundred other 'ways. had. served t)u government, Tl\bf- resented the - mvammnt‘ tives 165 1 ; We will also/have HOT OROSS BUNS, Coftes Brown Bread and Baked Beans, Chariottc Russes, V Chocolaté : i W last fall, and which, the m\pk ‘was due to no' lack of food but tirely to the ineficlency ' of . the bureaucracy and its-desire to ‘squ For instance, the govérnment made .

This was partly due to a division of authority between the minister of the interior and the minister of agricul- ture, but it was primarily due to the policy of the government in manning the railroads with reactionaries of the most pronounced sort and ‘of a which' devoted half its energies to the collection ‘of graft. This policy was adopted after theattempted - revolu- of 1905, when a-political strike of the railroad men paralyzed the nation's energies completely, ( “All these things contributed to produce a national frame of mind capable of conceiving ‘a revolution.
