Can the Bolsheviki Strangle Free Russia? No hopeless view of the Bolsheviki uprising in Petrograd is taken by American editorial observers alth<i it is frankly recognized that the plan for a separate RussoGerman peace might help solve Germany’s food problem and release many German soldiers from the Eastern front. In the view of an Associated Press correspondent, just returned from Petrograd, however, the uprising gives the Bolsheviki the rope with which to hang themselves, and this view is shared- by the well-informed Russkoye Slovo, a Russian daily published in New York. -— “The Bolsheviki may occupy all the palaces and strongholds of Petrograd,” remarks this Russian journal, “as they did during their insurrection last July; they may impose their will briefly upon the members of the Government and claim control of the capital, but they can not dominate for more than a brief period, the indignant, loyal forces of the Russian nation.’’ For a clear explanation and understanding of the causes leading up to, and the possible outcome of, the overturning of the Kerensky Government you should read THE LITERARY DIGEST for November 17th. By direct quotation from leading journals, American and foreign, the reader is able to obtain a clear knowledge of all the facts in this very critical juncture in the world’s war. Other subjects that will claim your interest in this number of THE DIGEST are: Germany Thinks America u Worthless” as a Military Tower Sarcastic Comments of the German Press Upon America and the American Army New York’s Return to Tammany News of Finance and Commerce Torpedoing the Yellow Peril Suffragists Take New York State The Food-Problem in Europe Showing the French How To UnWhy We Catch Cold load Ships Pipe That Will Not Break Rebuilding Ruined French Towns Catapulting Seaplanes Our Husky City Boys Prison-Camp Verse The Boston Symphony and Patriotism Sixty-five Years in One Pastorate Another Tagore India’s Viceroy Indorses Home Rule A Chance for the Church to Lead Striking Illustrations, Including an Exclusive Reproduction of a Lithograph By the American Artist, Joseph Pennell Special, Commencing This Week — ‘War-Time Food Problems PREPARED BY THE U.
