The demonstration of the Russian
r.rmy and tli? consequent withdrawal
of (!orm:in forces from the eastern
front are having their effect in
France. The heavy reinforcement of
men and guns, which Field Marshal
von Hindenburg has been able to
throw into the defense of his sorely
KVttered lines have, for the time be
ing at least, caused a deadlock which
the most furious efforts of the Brit
ish and French have failed to break.
The fiist fruits of the chaos in Rus
sia are the more ominous in the hints
they offer of future possibilities. The
Council of Soldiers and Workmen's
delegates seems to have been aroused j
at last to the perils of the course
it has elected to follow, but it is a
qustion if its awakening has not come
too late. The soldiers in the ranks
evidently have the bit in their teeth,
and it remains to be seen if there is
a hand strong enough to check them
from bringing about practical anar
ch, y. .
The hopeful side of the? picture is
drawn by the multiplying signs that
the political and economic crisis in

Petrograd, May 1G. The govern-
i ment and the radicals who have been
hampering its activities have reached
an agreement on three important
points and cabinet reconstruction has
been inaugurated.
Following the publication of im
portant cazinet changes, including
the retirement of Prof. M. Milukoff,
foreign minister from the cabinet,
the official news agency issued this
statement :
"The three cardinal points upon
which the government, the excutive
committee of the duma and the coun
cil of workmen's and soldiers' dele
gates have agreed, are:
'The unity of the allied fronts.
"The fullest confidence of the rev
olutionary democracy in the recon
structed cabinet.
"A plentitude of powers for the
government."
x roiessor .uwukoii s uecision to re
tire from the cabinet was announced
at a sitting of the provisional govern
ment held last night. The cause, the
official news agency states, was a
difference in views on the reorganiza
tion of the cabinet.
It was suggested that Premier
Lvotf should take charge of the min
istry of foreign affairs, but the pre
mier declined. Finally the majority
decided it was best to entrust the
ministry of foreign affairs to M. Ter-j
escntenKo, wniie m. Jverensky was
appointed minister of war and marine.
warnings to the more extreme ele
ments who have become intoxicated
with their new found power.
Neither surprise nor alarm at what
is going on is expressed by those who
have recently returned from Russia.
They say that such an immense up
heaval as the revolution could not but
be followed by a period of uncertain
ty and that the present chaos is but
a healthy groping about to find a per
manent form of government with a
just distribution of authority. It is
admitted that -this internal conflict
necessarily is liberalizing and mod
erating the foreign policies of the

News received in this country i
felt to be unduly disquieting because
it all originates from the German-infested
center of Petrograd.

and sympathy will steady the more
radical elements to a practical course.
PLEASE RETURN ROOKS.
East evening eleven of the small
red song books were taken from tho
Methodist church by mistake, and it is
desired that these books be returned
as they were borrowed for the occasion
from the high school glee club and
must be replaced, so anyone who has
them will confer a favo by returning
them.

Lincoln, Neb., May If.. Teaching of

schools of Nebraska, made possible by
the passage a few years ago of the
Mockttt law, will probably be aban
doned next year in all schools, accord
ing to reports received by W. II.
Clemmon. state superintendent of
public instruction.
"The German language in our
schools is dying a gradual and natural
death." said the state superintendent.
"A number of schools dropped it im
mediately after war was declared. My
opinion is theie will be few petitions
to have it taught in any schools in the i .
state next year."

"Equivalent to Admission of Defeat'
Amsterdam, Via London, May 1C.
The Nieuws Van Der Tag regrets
that Chancellor von Bethman Holl-
weg's speech has not cleared the ob
scurity in regard to Germany's war
aims. It says that the chancellor's
words have strengthened bis enemies'
hands and must be considered equiv
alent to an admission of defeat.

cial confirmation of the withdrawal
from the Russian provisional govern
ment of Foreign Minister Milukotf,
coming on the heels of the retirement
of War Minister Guchkoff and three
f the highest army generals, failed
to weaken the belief here that Rus
sian democracy would find a way out.
Proof of the confidence of the Ameri
can government, as well as of its de
termination to lend unstinted aid,
was given today in the form of a
$100,000,000 loan to Russia.
Inquiries during the day among
both American and allied oilicials and
diplomats, including three officials
who have recently, been in Russia, re
vealed an almost unanimous opinion
that the storm now beating will not
be fatal, though its climax probably
has not been reached.
The recent wholesale resignations
of the more moderate and capable
leaders are interpreted as, in a sense,
