Lord Robert Cecil, interviewed by Router, says that Count Hertling's truculent speech is no more warlike than was expected,

Bertling was merely the nominee of the military party.

The Tires says that Count Hertling and Count Czernin spoke obviously by a re-arranged plan. Both speeches are-a concerted pesos offensive, in which Austria has been entrusted with the dis- gaised turning of a movement designed to envelope President Wilson,

Paris, January 25,

"

There has been no comment hitherto on Count Hertling's speech owing to the late arrival of the speech, but the newspapera express the opinion that Count Czernin, soting on the enggestion of Berlin, is endeavouring to entice the Entente into a peace con- ference or at least start negotiations with the United States.

RUSSIA'S INTERNAL CHAO3.

London, January 25. Apparently farther trouble is brewing at Petrograd. General Krylenko, addressing the Red Guarde, is reported to have said that all liberties must be set aside during the struggle with the bourgeoisie. "We eball ebrink from nothing, not even the spreading of wholesale terror and woe to all who attempt to cross our path. We will not stop until we have completely exter minated all our enemies.'

The Bed Guarda and sailors broke up a meeting at Petrograd of the Delegatee to the Peasante' Congress, which is supporting the Constituent Assembly.

It says that these are intended to appesse the Central Powers' proletariat, by a promise of a relief of the food shortage, and declares that the masses of Ukraine will never consent to such an agreement.

M Trofety, addressing the Pan-Russian Congrees of the Soviets, Baid that the presence of foreign comrades symbolised a general revoli sgainst the ancient capitalistic system of Europe and America. Universsi suffrage was obsolete and a dictatorship by the proletariat was the sole salvation.
