Count Mirbach, the German Ambassador at Moscow, was assas- sinated
last Saturday by two men, who attacked him with revolvers and bombs. The same day, according to the Bolshevik account, the Left Social Revolutionaries, the party to which M. Kerensky belongs, attempted a rising in Moscow, but, after capturing part of the city and the telegraph office, were suppressed. The Bolsheviks, in the character of Satan rebuking sin, have informed their German friends that Terrorism is repugnant to them, and that the Left Social Revolutionaries, hundreds of whom have been arrested. must be held responsible for the murder of the Ambassador. We have yet to learn the true story. In Siberia, if not in Russia, the forces of order seem to be gaining ground. The Czecho-Slovak troops have occupied Vladivostok, and a Siberian Provisional Government has been established there. The Bolsheviks have also been expelled from Irkutsk and defeated in Western Siberia. The Czecho-Slovak "march to the sea" will easily rank with that of either Xenophon or Sherman, and we long to read the story of this wonderful adventure, which has yet to be written.
