VOLUME 59 se oe tee THE NEWS FROM RUSSIA. HINGS are happening again in Russia, The assassination of Count von Mirbach was one of the} sudden, unforeseeable acts of violence always likely to occur among the currents and counter currents of revolution. It may have been the result of motives and forces relatively insignificant. Yet iti none the less capable of starting a train of formidable consequences. The Bolshevik Premier, Lenin Germany. It may well be, however, that Germany has no intention of permitting herself to be placated. The shooting of her Ambassa- dor is too good a pretext for closing her military grip on Moscow and proceeding more boldly with a programme in which the “policing” of Russia may be used to cover German plans of domination. There are signs, however, that the job will not prove the easicr for what has happened. Forces in Russia begin to work once more against Gerinany and for the Allies. The Bolshevik Government in Moscow is already exchanging bullets with what seems a serion counter revolution, Anti-German of Russia become more frequent. the Allied side in Siberia, The more Germany reveals a purpose which threatens German occupation of Russia, the more is Russian resistance likely to harden. The more troops Germany sends into Rudsia, the more she will have to send. Where is Germany to get an army big enough for an effective invasion of Russia unless she takes material for it from the western front? Events in Russia are not shaping themselves in a w it easier for the programme makers in Berlin. More than ever does an Allied military force to which anti-Gor- man elements in Russia could rally for strength and support seem to| offer strong hope of bringing Russia back into the fighting line and| ruining Germany's eastern schemes. —— demonsirations in various The Czecho-Slovaks still fight on to mak Charging that the Hvening Mail was bought for the Im- perial German Government with money advanced through Count von Bernstorff, former German Ambassador, and Dr. | Heinrich Albert, German agent and propagandist, the United States Federal authorities have arrested Dr. Edlward A.

MMENSE practical benefit in relieving freight congestion at steamship piers and railroad terminals should result from the plan adopted by Director General McAdoo establishing a store door delivery service in this city. The plan, as recommended by Interstate Commerce Commis sioner Harlan, is substantially the same as that urged by The Evening| World last January when it pointed out how traffic troubles were] increased by the huge piles of goods awaiting removal at docks and) freight stations. Under the new rule these freight terminals may no lon need as convenient places of storage. “The inbound freight must be taken away by consignee: Commisstoner Harlan explains, “not after forty-eight hours of free storage, as 1s the present practice, but as the freight is un- loaded from cars to pier and station floors. The plers and freight stations must be constantly free and open. They must no longer be permitted to become obstructions to back up the flow of the traffic of the country on the rails of the carrier: t be is reported anxious to placate) parts } i | EDITORIAL PAGE Tuesday, July 9, 1918 Coppriaht, 1918 by The Brow iibliehing 06 (The New York Evening World) : oe Meee clare ante = | BOERS |named Turne witn travel, gladly accepted an invitation to spend the night at Turner's | down with chains ur | France Orr lived on in safety and wealth fe | @ Stories 1915 by The Press Pobtishi No. 39-—-GEORGE ORR, the Invasion of Ireland.
