November 29, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on political conditions in the world during 1917. Publication by the Bolshevik acting government in Petrograd of letters and proposed treaties, found in the archives of the Foreign Office, has been denounced as the blackest of treasonable crimes. The intent was to discredit a previous regime. The presence of British troops in Italy is now confirmed by British Field-Marshal Douglas Haig, who speaks in his address of congratulation to his army of the sudden movement of troops to Italy. It is stated that since the declaration of war America has had 500 strikes, though there were but 144 in the same period last year. This confirms the impression of labor unrest, and of the perplexity of the government.
