In January, 1918, the Soviet Government sent out the following wireless message--one of the many appeals to revolt that were continuously going out. The Russian sailors are in complete possession of their battle- ships. The Sailors' Committee are the High Command. The yacht of the former Czar, the "Polar Star," is now the headquarters of the Fleet Committee, which is composed of common sailors, one from each ship. They had no love for the Keren sky Government; yet when it was threatened, by the thousand they came pouring out of their ships and island citadel to line up against the wild divisions of Kornilov.
