RUSSIA. ARMYOfSLY NEEDS TO BE TOLD THE TRUTH: I TEN MILLION MEti IN ARMS. PARIS, Wednesday. The Petit Parisien" publishes an article on the state of the Russian Army by M. Marcel Cacliin, French Socialist Deputy. who was a member of the recent mission to Petrograd. The writer says the Russian Army has just passed through a most critical period, and that although the crisis is not yet over, each day brings an appreciable improvement in the situ- ation. It would obviously be an injustice to regard the revolution as responsible for this state of affairs. Russia had inherited an old regime, which was leading the country to ruin, defeat, and separate peace. For the moment the Russian Revo- lutionary Government must dress the wounds of the country, and they are mak- ing efforts to instil confidence, discipline, and organisation into the Army. The Russian Armv still numbers 10,000,000 men, including 100,000 officers, and this huge body must not be allowed to decay. All that the Russian soldiers v* ant is that the reasons for the necessity of the struggle should be clearly explained to them. They also want to be sure that the revolution will not be threatened by any internal iniiuciice whatever. The Russian soldiers have demanded a com- plete re-organisation of the Army, and this has been granted to them by the simple system of the election. From among all ranks in their companies, regi- nfnte, and divisions, they elect delegates, both privates and officers, who discuss in common the interests of the units which they represent. Some observers are alarmed at this democratic innovation, but it is a fact that on the Russian front we met many officers who fell in with and adapted themselves very well to these new insulations. M. Caehin recalls the resolutions nassed by the delegates of the Russian Army, all of whom were in favour of a continuation of the struggle and the re-organisation of the Army, and concludes it is to help M. Kerensky in his mission at the front and to do all in their vower to give the lie to the prophecies of disaster made bv the enemy press and enemy governments that the French Socialists have passed their recent resolutions. Another member of the mission, Deputy M. Murius Moutel, interviewed by the Petit Journal," said Petroirrad. on mature reflection, has ceased to be hostile to the Stockholm conference. We, the French Socialists, could not refuse to re- spond to the appeal of the Russians who are going to Stockholm, and we could not abandon these men who. out of hatred for the regime which they have overthrown, are disposed to welcome all arguments directed against the regime which they consider responsible.—Press Association War Special. TO END CARNAGE." I Decision of Russian relegates From the I Front. PETROGRAD, Tuesday I (Received Wednesday). The congress of delegates from the front, utter debating the war, passed re- solutions that the army in the trenches declare it1 indispensable to take every measure to end as quickly as possible the international carnage, and conclude peace without annexations or indemnities on the basis of the right of all nations to di-sposo of themselves: that tho Russian front must he provided with more muni-, tion, and appealing to the Russians to rally round the Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's Delegates and the Provisional Government.—Renter. and the 1) .rovigional I WITH RUSSIAN ARMY. I French Minister Carried Shoulder High. PARIS, Wednesday. M. Claude Anet, special correspondent of the Petit Parisien." who is accom- panying M. Albert Thomas, French Minister of Munitions, and M. Kerensky. Russian Minister of War, on their tour of the Russian front, gives an account of the visits paid by the French Minister to Russian regiments. The soldiers, he says, saluted their officers. The General spoke to thu men in the language of a true leader, showing them that without victory they would become slaves again. He then presented M. Thomas to them. The French Minister told them in eloquent terms why every Frenchman had under- stood that it was necessary to finish with German militarism, which would never permit Europe to taste a durable peace. Russian democracy, he eaid, must unite with the Western democracies. So great a movement for li))erty had liorcr been seen. The Russian army, at the hour when all the Allies were fighting, would also enter the battle in order to show the enemy what a free people could ùo- M- Thomas delivered five such speeches b^orc different regiments. The soldiers, with a thousand Hurrahs," seized the Genet-al and M. Thoma? and carried them on their shoulders to their motor-cars. More ^^jious, perhaps, were the friendly among parties of soldiers, at which M. Thomas replied to all questions put, and refuted sophistic and pacifist arguments. He convinced his audience, who drank in the words of the Socialist Minister wherever he went. The spirit of the troops and the moral of the soldiers are good. Their General will be able to keep up their military spirit.-Reuter.

I KAISER AT THE h fRONT.
KAISER AT THE h fRONT. BRITAIN REVILED. 'How Long-In Bod's Hands." AMSTERDAM, Tuesday ^received Wednesday). During his visit to the Arras front, eight days ago, the Kaiser was received at the station by Crown Prince Rupprccht. After reviewing the troops, the Kaiser addressed the soldiers as follows: After a preparation lasting all the win- ter, on the basis of his experiences in the Bomme battle, the enemy attempted, with gigantic resources, to carry out his inten- tion finally to break the German resist- ance on the entire line this spring. With glasses of munitions unknown in the his- tory of war be opened fighting. Regarding our French enemies, we Can well imagine that the hope of liberat- ing their homeland from the enemy who had victoriously penetrated in justified Belf-defence, spurred them to the highest sacrifices, a motive which a noble-minded Enemy will appreciate. But the English, on the other hand, have no such motive. They only light ob- stinately and tenaciously tor the enlarge- niefit of their power at our cost. We Etand lifm in fidelity to our task, and the fulfilment of our duty. On which side the right is there is no doubt, and there- fore this fight has become a holy tight. For this reasn our whole people at home Btand united to give you out here every assistance as long as the fight lasts. How long this may be is in God'6 hands. It is not our business to ask this. We have to do our duty, and leave the rest to Him. I came to see you to-day in order to express to you, in the name of our people, my thanks, my greatest thanks, and thanks of your beloved ones at home, for your heroism in obstinate resistance. As long as it may he necessary, we at home are prepared to share with you every danger and distress. It is not Prus- sian or German to boast what yu have achieved. You know, and I thank you for it, I assure you. And so I send you Again to the front. It is now our business to hold on, how- Over long it may last. Meanwhile, your •Dmrades on the liea are working to cut Jpiece by piece the vital nerve of tl-ie i Atomy who devised the base plan to de- liver to starvation a whole people, our Jfomen and children." The Kaiser then distributed crosses, and vi-sited a hospital.—Press Association War I Special.
