These writers are un animous in expressing the fullest con fidence in Field Marshal von Hinden burg. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says: "This is not the first stragetic re treat von Hindenburg has executed In this war.

March 20.?Early rcc-1 ognition by the United States of the1 new government set up by the revo-' lution in Russia was forecast here to day in the belief that with good or der now- prevailing the plans being 1 made for a permanent constitutional1' government, call for the moral sup-! port of this government. All reports;.1 to the state department Indicate that! the army and navy are supporting: 1 the provisional government. Ambassador David R. Francis at: Petrograd summarized the situation; today in the following cablegram: | "The last week has seen the most! astonishing revolution. Two hundred i million people who have lived under' absolute monarchy for one thousand! years and who are engaged in the! greatest war in history, have forced: their emperor to abdicate for himself; and his son and induced the brother] to whom was transferred imperial j authority to accept on condition that i constitutional assembly of people be: tn exercise cower under au-1 thority of government framed by that assembly. '.'There is no opposition to the pro visional government, "which is the council of ministers appointed by the committee of 12 named by the durna. Absolute quiet here and throughout all Russia. "Plan of provisional government Is to call a constitutional assembly or convention whose members sb.aU be elected by the whole people and who shall be empowered to organize good government. Whether republic or constitutional monarchy undecided but conclusions of assembly will be ] accepted by the people and enforced by the army and navy."

The Rus sian movement consequently has been received with deep sympathy here, where the quality of the present leaders is well known and highly es teemed. i mm As yet no official action has been taken because it is not felt certain that the revolutionary elements set in motion have entirely quieted down into a stable government. With each, day that passes, however, the con viction increases that democratic or constitutional Russia lias come to stay.
