REVOLUTION IN GERMANY IMPROBABLE.

GERMANY’S INTENTION TO AT-

TACK AMERICA

Eecoived 11.25. WASHINGTON, April 27. Mr Balfour’s message to London will explain to the allies that the United States has not merely agreed to technical questions, but has established a basis for the future conduct of the war. Mr Balfour was particularly impassed by the enormous powers of the press in assisting and moulding American opinion and preparing the country for participation in the war. In denouncing Champ Clark’s opposition to conscription Mr Gerard said if Clark had not suffered constitutionally from cold feet, he might now have been President. Referring to conditions in Germany, he said it was absurd to expect a revolution there. American newspaper men in Berlin misled the German people respecting American

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.

RUSSIA’S ONLY DANGER.

QUARREL AMONG LEADERS

WASHINGTON,, April 26,

Mr David E. Francis (American Ambassador for Russia) reports that all the Russians need to defeat Germany is a plentiful supply of money, munitions and railway equipment. He is pained and provoked at the suggestions of separate peace, which are unfounded, but the submarines have reduced the ammunition supplies received from Britain, and the supply from Japan is inadequate.

The only danger is that the revolutionary elements might quarrel before a strong central authority is established. BRITISH POLITICS WAR CABINET’S RESOLUTION. FAVOURABLE TREATMENT TO ALLIES.
