The most important news that comes from Europe today is the report of the overthrow of the Bolsheviki government in Russia and the flight of Lenin and Trotsky, believed by all to have been employed by the Germans to deliver Russia into the hands of her enemies. The arrival of Kerensky, "the man of the hour" whose influence in Russia prior to the advent of the traitors, Lenin and Trotsky, was wonderful, in London, to arrange for help to deliver Russia from German domination coming at this time is encouraging. If Russia can be revived and induced to again enter the fight, the end would come quickly.
Germany and Austria are both in sore straits, due to the utter defeat of the Austrians in Italy and the utter failure of German arms to achieve what had been promised the people of Germany would be accomplished, and the kaiser is reported to be in a towering rage at his prime minister, Von Kuehlman, for having stated in the reichstag that Germany cannot hope to win by force of arms.
That another big German drive in the west is planned seems certain, but the allies are so confident of again defeating the Germans that they welcome this chance to kill a few hundred thousand more Germans and express entire confidence that they can hold the Huns at all points and slaughter them by the thousands. The telegraphic and cable news today follows:
