This war is the most pop ular Russia ever waged. Prom, the start the people put their shoulders to the wheel. But also from the start Russian bureaucracy bungled at every turn. ' The army was left with out supplies. Patriotic or ganizations like the Zem stovs or Municipality Un ions, stepped in and saved the situation for two years. The purely "peoples' or ganizations" have done everything. Meanwhile the old regime grew uneasy. It saw the ground slipping f rom under neath its feet. So it did everything to hamper the patriotic peoples' workers. It declared the Zemstovs, the War Industry Commit tee and otliier such move ments "political organiza tions."

Sturmer took the job, centralizing all ministerial power, in him self. All along Russia's soldiers knew just what was happen- ,ing. .They have always known who were their real friends. They anticipated just what occurred but they thought it would not take place until after return of the soldiers from the war. Abuses precipitated things and the revolution came sooner than expected. Such leaders of the pro visional government as Lvotff (premier), Guchkoff (Minister c-i war), Milukolt (Foreign Secretary), Chin gareff (Duma leader) and ethers are known and re spected throughout Russia.
