GERMAN SPIES OVERRUN RUSSIA.
POSING AS PATRIOTS IN ARMY j AND NAVY. !; Received June 1. 12.20 p.m. LONDON, May 51. | The Morning Post’s Pefrograd corn's- f pondent says: —“Russia is still waiting the' hour which must soon strike marking the crisis of ten weeks. Jubilation for (he conquest of' political freedom has given place to forebodings. There has been practically no war news in Russia for a month past.” The Workmen’s Council, in a manifesto, protests against the prevalence oi drinking. ■ and ascribes it to the machinations of the old regime. Nobody now doubts that the .revolution was originated entirely by German agents working among both- sides and influencing the Government and people in the interests of Germany. They are still active-in the interior persuading peasants to commit outrages, with a view to destroying the next harvest. German emissaries posing as Russian patriots have done possibly irreparable harm in the Russian army and navy.
