Show 00 RUSSIA AS A BEACON LIGHT TO FREEDOM. Russia's revolution may have a ! psychological effect on the German?. The Russkoye Slovo of New York expresses ex-presses this thought in the following: "The Russian people are opposed to war and to militarism, but they bo-lieve bo-lieve that their own success as revolutionists revo-lutionists will mean revolution on the part of the Germanic peoples. Then they hope and believe there will come ' a consolidation of all the revolutionary' peoples, Russian and Germanic, a combination com-bination that by its very force and weight will compel the militarists of Europe's warring nations to ceaso their strife. And so, out of revolution will come the great peace." It is more than a possibility that this will be accomplished, and that out of a despotism will come the greatest advancement in liberal government I tho world has ever known. nn |
