THE OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 The Revolution in Russia. Russia is still the great unknown quantity in this war. She is the eter¬ nal question. What will Russia do? What can Russia do? Our questioning does not arise because Russia did not do what she could in the first year of the war, but because of her past .history, and because she is made up of a complex and discordant mass of people speaking a hundred and fifty different languages and dialects. How then, in the view of recent happenings in that extraordinary country, to look upon her as an entirety, as a single and influ¬ ential factor in the history at present in the making? It must be remembered that the ten yeais between the disastrous ending of Russia’s war with Japan and the stirring of her sense of nationalism, both religious and civil, were years of turmoil and confusion. There were times during this period when it seemed as though the torn fabrics of the Russian empire must fall apart of its own weakness of fiber. There were revolutions, enormous labor difficulties, much shed ling of blood, disasters, and social un¬ rest. Russia was in a state of chaos. Then came the great war. It is possible that Russia welcomed the wai, for it was the last opportunity to unit Russia. The result must have been gratifying to true Russian patriots. Broadly speaking, by the supreme fusing of war Russia was made one. The fighting men of the nation, the peasants, with the images of the Cz r and the Church before them, marched to the front singing songs and confident of the holiness of the conflict, iheie was none of that in the war with Japan There was neither enthusias n nor vigor then ; but for this war a sort of Russian national spirit was aroused, and Russia went out to fight whole-heartedly, enthusiastically and confi¬ dently. Russia began her offensive with a will. Contrary to the accepted mili¬ tary theory, Russia mobilized weeks sooner than it was believed she could. And, in stiict accordance with the German plan of campaign, Russia matched, toward the west, pushing all before her. There was talk that the soldiers of the Czar would have their Christmas dinners in Berlin. The Russians swept Prussian Poland, through Galicia, and far into the territory of the enemy. They took cities and ravaged villages, and seemed as irresistible as a t dal wave, advancing and engulfing the enemy. The two big features of the plan of the German campaign weie the quick advance on France and the apparent abandonment of a certain portion of the eastern frontier to the Russian advance. The plan w is to defeat France and then return at leisure and attend t) Russia. All the world knows what his happened when Von Hindenburg turned his attention to the eastern theatre of war The Russians were beaten back mile after mile. The Germans crumpled that brave advance into a retreat. As the Germans pressed on, the Russians, without the piopei supplies oi ammunition or even the necessary weapons, could do nothing but retreat. They lost cities they had taken. They gave up positions they had bought
