INTERNAL DISSENSIONS.
Fomenting Trouble. [LONDON TIMES SERVICE.—COPYRIGHT.] Petrograd, March 19 The delay in restoring normal conditions is due to the interference of tbe Committee of Labor Daputie?. There were wild disorderly meetings assembled by them daily, hoping to reta : n their hold on the soldiers and lower classes. Some students of both sexes are blindly co-operating in the anarchistic propaganda of the dotnagogue element who realise they will soon lose the power they have temporarily usurped, and are now fighting tooth and nail against the sober influence?, spreading the wildest rumours.
They repeatedly told that tie German nation had rhea against its rulers and that the Kaiser was slain and a deputation coming to inaugurate an era of universal brotherhood.
The object of the rumours is to impress the masses that tbe war has ended and that the nation need no longer consider tbo situation. There is already a reaction among the workers, the majcrity bang anxious to resume their avocations.
It is reasonable to hope that the excesses of the anarchist propaganda will rebound against the author?.
