It seemed to be known in advance ! what would come from thg-Ryssian revolt--à revolt-- à pro-Germari^ dictatorship under under German agents sent to Petrograd for that purpose. The very boldness of the scheme causes unbelief with many, but Lenine, long in thé pay of Germany, detected, following the revolution, and chased from Petrograd as a German spy, with a price on his head, returning in a few weeks to be the head of a so- called Russian dictatorship^ is capable of most any kind of treachery and deceit. While Trotsky, his coadjutor, a year or so ago in New 'York, joined with notorious pro-German agents in urging urging the U.S. to keep out-of the war, returns to Russia to become Lenine's right-hand man in directing the Russian Russian lamb into the jaws of the tiger. And strange to say, these men are hailed as Russian patriots by every German sympathizer in this country, as well as by deluded Russians. Their communistic program in any took the lead a few days- ago in a humanitarian letter published on the day that the Paris conference opened. To one in the evening of life peace is desirable at almost any cost. The Lansdowne plea for peace, though à restatement arid modification of the allied terms, would have caused less sensation if it had come at any other time. Coming as it did from a person who, in another decade, occupied a high position in British affairs, and at a time when peacb is in the air, it naturally naturally set all the capitals in a flutter. flutter.

The small nations are unfit in the. cosmic struggle; they must align themselves, with their protectors ~br perish in the incessant strife." So long as the U.S. remained neutral the nations adjacent to Germany fared fared well. Despite the British blockade, they were able to import great- quantities quantities of food stuffs, for re-export to Germany at greatly enhanced prices. The Allies were well aware of all this, and tried, as. far as possible, to prevent it, but when the blockade was enforced.too strictly, the American exporter exporter appealed to!

They know, and Germany knows, the moves that are to be taken when the break comes. If Norway goes first and goes the way she is inclined, the submarine will not even be a secondary secondary factor in the war. Allied circles believe that Norway and Denmark hvill join the "allied cause. Sweden's government, being largely^pro-German, is expected to go with the central powers, although her people will resist, and in all probability probability force a revolution and change the monarchy to a republic.
