Bt. Petersburg, Feb. 8.—For the mo­
ment ths startling crime in Helsingfors
has withdrawn attention from the strike
situation throughout Russia. Today’s
events in Poland and the Caucausus,
however, are quite serious enough to
a^ail themselves.
Disorders in the
smaller industrial towns of »Poland
have added more than a score to tbe
total of the killed, and troopa have
been sent to Warsaw and Kutno, 83
miles west of Warsaw, to quell upris­
ings there. Tbe strike continues in the
Caucasus and conditions are becoming
worse, and traffic on the Trans-Caucas­
ian railway is interrupted.
The central committee of the Social
Democratic Workmen’s party has issued
a violent proclamation, which has been
widely circulated in the factories of
St. Petersburg,- calling on the opera­
tives to array themselves under the red
flag of the Social Democracy and pre­
pare for an armed renewal of the Janu­
ary demonstrations. The proclamation
bitterly assails church and state and
the higher classes, and concludes:
"In order to gain victory,-we must
organize a vast workmen’s army. Then,
again we will start for the palace to
preeent our demands, not like ikons
and not with supplications, but with
arms in our hands, under t,he blood
red standard' of the Russian Bo/ial
Democratic party.”
