BOLSHEVIK RULE DOOMED.

GERMAN PREDICTIONS. NO DIRECT INTERVENTION. The German Government is intent on disseminating information to the effect (hat (he Bolshevik regime is approaching its end, says the Zurich correspondent of the Morning Post. The Frankfort Zeilnng asserts that not only are the Bolsheviks in Russia harassed and pressed on all sides, but that the' excitement betrayed in the orders issued by Trolsk> proves that the gravity of the situation is fully realised also at Moscow. The Berlin correspondent of the Frankfort Zeitnng speaks of (lie increasing strength of the pressure on Moscow from the north, from the east, and from the south-east, and of the fact that the Czechoslovaks are already within menacing distance of the Bolshevik capital, and mentions that over and ahove the severe coinhats in which the Bolshevik’s are involved they are specially imperilled hy being cut off from the outside world. The scarcity of food also tells against the Bolsheviks, and the peasants seem to be abandoning (heir cause, so that their dominion can now be supported only by the proletariat of the large (owns.

Jiie Knrier also discusses the question, "Aha! next/" And alter asserting that Germany is hound to the Bolsheviks hy no close ties, and has no intention of interfering in Russia’s internal all'airs, declares Dial Germany concerns herself with Russia only in so far as her own interests are affected. it assorts that Germany will not im'tale the policy of the Entente. !ml will probably also this time avoid direct, intervention, and will, as the Imperial Chancellor remarked, content herself with “'silent observation.” .Professor Olio lloizseh, lecturer in Modern History, Berlin Cniversily, who writes the weekly survey of foreign polities in the Kreuz ZeiUmg, says; —The political advantage accruing- to ns from Russia, s withdrawal from the world coalition threatens to slip out of our hands again, and the danger threatens today that the elements which desire the downfall of the Bolsheviks, and will eventually accomplish it, are assembled under the (lags of the Entente against Germany, If tins development, if the enterprise undertaken hy the Entente, compels u- to take corresponding counter-measur-es, do we know exactly what we want politically and what we must want 1
