the world upheaval are toward en
tering the conflict. The Spanish note
to Germany may result in Germany
abandoning her uncompromising at
titude Ih regard to the ruthless sub
marine warfare as far as it affects
Spain or that Germany will have to
aeüëpt a new and important foè.
Rumors are growing concerning
the great German attempt planned
against Petrograd. Inhabitants are
fleeing to the interior as a result of
the rumored German plan to com
bine a land and sea assault on the
Russian capital.
The Russian political situation is
confusing. It is reported that radical
socialists are active and that there
are indications of renewed out
breaks of agrarian troubles.
The state of interior unrest ' in
Germany is having new manifesta
tion in a fresh outburst against
Chancellor Von Bethman-Hollweg
by «he Conservatives and National
Liberals. The Chancellor is being
violently attacked for alleged sub
servience to socialist influences.
The visit of the King of Denmark
to Stockholm is considered peculiar
ly against the government.
A twelve o'clock Associated Press
dispatch to The Daily Review Says
that the British attacks only be
tween Cojuel and the Scarpe
rivers has resulted in their cap
ture of additional ground which has
been fortified by the Germans. The
report states that south of Arras
the British are steadily pushing into
the German lines between Cambrai
and St. Quentin.
London, April 25.— Petrograd dis
patches report a revolutionary spirit
manifested in the rural districts of
Russia which is bringing to a head
the long standing agraeian troubles.
Soldiers are ^siting rural homes and
spreading news of the revolution. It
sems that the soldiers are offering
to lead the peasants in a revolt
against land owners.
Copenhagen, April 25.—A special
dispatch to The Review at one
o'clock today that a movement for
the overthrow of Chancellor Von
Bethman-Hollweg is again becoming
evident in Germany. The agitation
is being encouraged by the dissen
tions over internal forms arising out
of the prevailing internal disorders.
The message also states that such a
movement would possibly mean the
proposal of peace terms by the Teu
tons. Food troubles are also men
tioned.
