TO DESERT KAISER
PHTItOORAD, Sept. 11. The com
mitteo of the Twelfth Russian army,
before leaving ltiga, left an appeal
printed In German and addressed to
the German soldiers, pointing out that
the latter wero making war on tho
side of the autocracy and. against a
revolution ot liberty and justice. The
appeal said:
"A victory of Kaiser AVillielm would
mean the end of democracy and lib
erty. Wo are leaving Higa, but we
know the revolutionary spirit will
prove stronger than your cannon; wo
know that in the end your consclcnco
will see more clearly and that you will
march on to victory and liberty, side
by sido with tho revolutionary army.
'Your strength Is greater than ours
but your superiority Is merely of
physical and material force. Moral
forco is on our side. History will re
late that the German proletariat
marched against their'ltussian broth
ers, forgetting tho dictates of inter
nal solidarity."
