PETROGRAD, April 18, via London.
April 19. (Special Cable.) The sensa
tion of Russia is the arrival in
Petrograd from Switzerland, by way
of Germany, of a party of extreme
radical , Russian emigres, including
Klcholas Lenine. As they are the only
Russians since the war to be granted
the astounding privilege of crossing
Germany, though the car in which they
traveled was closed, it is said here the
Germans helped them homeward In the
hope tney would complicate the dif
ficult political situation.
It is indicative of the broad, new
spirit of Russia that they were never
theless invited to speak before a gath
ering of Social Democrats in the Hall
f the Duma, at the Tauride Palace.
The result was an exciting verbal duel
oti the part of Lanine with Tseretelli,
a returned exile from Siberia, in which
Tseretelli, upholding the government
and demanding that the war be fought
out, to the end, carried the assembly
against Lenine's proposals that the
proletariat take command, bringing a
Quicker end to the war.
International Kevolntlon Urgred.
"War has killed democracy," was
Zenine's plea
"The Russian Socialists must lead a
iew international party and force the
allies to agree to a peace without com
pensations, or break off relations with
them.
"The provisional government are Im
perialists the same as the old, but more
dangerous, because partially enlight
ened. We must not support such a gov
ernment, but must stand at the head of
an international revolution."
There was considerable applause, but
was noticeably bunched and not gen
eral. Tseretelli replied sanely, seeking to
show that the Russian liberties were
already gained and the power possessed
by the proletariat.
"If we upset the government," he
Bald, "we ruin the results of the revo
lution. We are advancing steadily,
making the most rapid strides in his
tory in the power of the people. The
proletariat has shown its ability also
by taking a national, not a class, atti
tude. The other course would, be play
ing into the Germans' hands."
Government Is Supported.
This was greeted by continuous and
general applause.
The scene was indicative of the fail
ure of the Germans to interfere with
the balance of the majority of the So
cialists, In whose hands much power
obviously rests. -....
The attention, of the public Is now
turned to the coming gigantic con
gress of .soldiers, workmen and- peas
ants. The result of the recent people's
congresses has been decisions to sup
port the government, with many fail
ures to upset It.
DANGER IN BREACH IS REAL
Workmen's Organization Makes It
Difficult for Government.
PETROGRAD, April 18, via London,
April 19. (Delayed.) With conflict
existing between the government and
the council of workmen's and soldiers'
deputies one cannot speak of a sole
strong power in Russia, because a
power which is menaced is not a power,'
but a semblance of power, says the
Ttusskia Volla, a statement which is
considered a conservative estimate of
existing internal conditions.
Optimistic assurances that the danger
from the breach between the two gov
ernments is only trivial are transitory
and extravagant. Statements to the
effect that the country is facing com
plete disaster are equally misleading.
It is not an exaggeration to say that
the economic disturbance caused by the
revolution has raised a problem the so
lution of which is not yet in sight.
As at present constituted the Gov
ernment is without means to enforce
any of its mandates except by appeals
to the patriotism of the people. With
out any strong central authority the
masses realize that power is in their
own hands.
The existing breach dates from the
1 triumph of the revolution, when the
council of workmen's and soldiers' dep
uties Issued Instructions to the people
to disregard the orders of the Govern
ment, where these conflicted with those
of the council. In this connection the
Jlusskia Volla says today:
"The position of the temporary gov
eminent is most difficult because it Is
not supported by any parliament. The
council of delegates Is a live force, but
It cannot take the place of a. real par
liament. The situation is more dlffl
cult inasmuch as the revolutionary
council is not always clear and the
composition of the council itself is not
definite. On the other hand, the coun
cil' is a power in competition with the
government.
"We are far from the belief that there
la any conflict which cannot bo set
tled between the two bodies."
There Is evidence that the Council
of Deputies Is endeavoring to influ
ence the government. Their task, how
ever. Is rendered difficult by a few
radical members and professional agl
tators Influences working against the
success of a Russian democracy. To
these influences can be attributed in
a large measure the disorganization
In the factories, where the working
men, who became easy prey for the
Socialistic propaganda, made preposter
us demands. '
These demands Include a four-hour
working day, 700 per cent increase In
wages, a month's holiday, two months
extra wage at Easter and Christmas
and a general usurpation of owners'
privileges which would be tantamount
to confiscation of factories.
The disorganization, which has con
tlnued for more than a month. Is es
pecially serious. With the completion
of Easter holidays, it is expected there
will be Improvement in the factory
situation.

(Special.) "I believe we ehould spend
six months organizing and preparing a
special force of men to go to France,"
said Representative Addison T. Smith,
called here from "Washington by the
illness of his son.
"This force should consist of older,
more experienced men, and only those
desiring to go. If a sufficient number
can be nlisted, and I do not doubt
but that it can. I am heartily in favor
of the enactment of a law providing
for two separate organizations, one for

men promptly, we can more quickly
bring about peace in Europe."

the rule. The interest taken causes
Farmer Smith and the O. A. C. people
great satisfaction, for the numbers
showed that Wallowa County will be
no laggard in food production this year.
The season is here like everywhere
else in Oregon and Washington, al
most a month behind normal condi
tions. But today it is warm and the
sun has shone brightly, giving a hint
that Spring has arrived at last. As the
Etreams are full of water for irrigation
and the earth well .oaked, it is ex
pected that this section will have large
crops of every description usually
grown here.
In both Wallowa and Enterprise
strong committees have been formed to
carry forward the good work, and it is
sure there will be more attention paid
here to small gardens than ever be
fore, especially among the Soys and
girls of the towns, not only In those
visited but all portions of the country.
The County Superintendent of Schools
and the other county officials are
keenly alive to the situation and will
make a vigorous campaign throughout
the country.
