NOLAN AND CO., Box 76, New Plymouth. him to lake (he viewpoint of an impartial observer. He had just spent six weeks in Petrograd. and save a pessimistic report of the lighting spirit in Russia mid of political and industrial conditions there. He.riaid: "There is no fighting spirit except among (lie Cossacks ann Caucasians, and that seems to be waning A Caucasian colonel said to me: 'There are no real fighters left in Russia besides us, and we are not Russians, thank God, but Caucasians and Mohammedans.' REFUSE TO FIGHT. "The interior cities and villages ar» filled with Russian troops who refuse to go to the front Young Russians of the better class are hunting the streets of Petrograd for men wlfo are willing to become officers. Since the murder of officers by men has become a daily occurrence only the most fervent patriots will assume the risk of taking commissions. I sat in the War OHice at Petrograd when the report was received of the murder of nearly one hundred officers at Viborg and of the preparation of proscription lists against oifieers in Tammersfors. Newspapers in Hclingsfors carry daily accounts of military deeds ot violence and of the murder of officers and civilians by soldiers, often accompanied by robbery The Government has not dared to do more than announce 'that matters will be investigated carefully.' "The Bolslievikis are gaining the upper hand in Petrograd and are increasing their strength in Moscow. I venture to predict their eventual supremacy. I know this means almost the elimination of Russia as a factor in the war, and places new burdens on America. "When Kornilofl' issued his ultimatum the news was received with joy by a great proportion of substantial citizens, and even* men in the Government Departments told me of their secret hope that he would come to Petrograd. The comments from English and American newspapers rejoicing at Korniloff's failures were received with amazement by these people, who saw in his success the only posibility of saving Russia."
