A GOOD
S-PSite) CHILMIO DAILY NEWS. I
U. S. NOT SURPRISED
WASHINGTON PREPARED FOR UP
RISING IN RUSSIA.
Probability of Change for Better
Through Counter-Revolution or
' Some General.
Washington, Nov. . The newest
Itussliiu upheaval surprised "nobody In
our government. They had hoped for
tho permanence of the Kereiisky gov
ernment, but they never lost track of
the ever-present probability that the
radicals, with their program of Imme
diate peace, division of tho land and
other Utopian dreams, would seize the
government from the uncertain hands
of the young dictator.
Our military olllclals warned the
government nt the time of the orig
inal abolition of the death penalty for
military offenses that Uusslu had
ceased to bo a dependable factor In
the war.
Obviously tho other allies, with the
same Information, reached the same
conclusion, and plans were made ac
cordingly. Our task Is harder and longer than
It seemed when we entered tho wur,
but there Is no other change.
There Is always the possibility of
the Russian situation changing for the
better, either through tho rest of litis
sin refusing to accept tho Bolshevlkl
domination of 1'ctrograd or through a
counter-revolution lu the army.
