WHY THE RUSSIAN ARMY BLEW UP The Russian soldiers, of course shared in the universal fell The Germans now appealed to them with handbills and ciroulars, declaring that the first result of the revolution was to be the division of all the land In Russia among the peasants and workers, but as the division would be made at once, every peasant must has- ten home, or he would not re- ceive his share. Some of the: announcements had a semi-of- ficial appearance and all seem- ed to be authentic.

It was this exodus, purely the work of German agents, that fig: ured in the dispatches as the “wholesale desertions on the battle front.” It shattered discipline, scooped the inside from some of the Ines and paralyzed military op. erations. Altogether {t was worth more to the czar than a victory on |the field, and almost as much as a pacifist speech from a Streak in the United States senate. You will want to know why the government tolerated these natur- alized Americans, who were active disseminators of treason, the Ger. man presé agents on the front, and the rest of this perilous skulldug: gery. The answer is that with the com ing of the revolution speech and 1) the press became absolutely free in Russia, and at first this was sup | posed to include freedom to over. |} turn the government and betray the agents were turning a trick on the| country to Germany, if any one so for audacity and deviltry has not been equaled any- desired The wise men of Russia have learned better since. ‘They haye learned, or are learning, that when democracy 1s fighting for ite life with a power like Germany, re- morseless, ruthless, savage and cun- ning, bent upon absolute domina- tion of the world, all other consid- erations must for the time being wait upon the supreme necessity of rescuing liberty.
