RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
A FATEFUL MEETING.
PEASANTS TO ASSEMBLE
NATION'S FUTURE IN THEIR HANDS
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received May 3, 8.45 a.m. ODESSA, May 2.
A great mass meeting of peasants is announced to assemble here at the end of May It will probably be of immense importance to Russia's future, as it will constitute three-fourths of the Russian nation, which furnishes at least 80 per cent of the troops. Russia's fate lies largely in their hands, but they are still unorganised and unconscious of their power. The land question is the most prominent topic of discussion. Agitators demand confiscation of all land, and the agitation threatens to divide the peasants themselves in the struggle for possession.
