lection to six months' armistice, the
only chance for preserving common
understanding and common action OF
the guaranteeing Powers was to declare
with Russia in favor OF the equally OBJ
iectionable six weeks armistice, because

powers had perfect liberty Of action, even
England, which had already accepted the
six months armistice, decided to accept
the basis for restoration Of the so called
harmony by offering no opposition to six
weeks truce, but having at the same time
disclaimed the lead which she hitherto
held in negotiations with the Porte. The
initiative now devolves on Russia, and
Gen. Ignatiefr has returned to Brussels.

here OF the Russian Government an
nounces that General Ignatieff, Ambassa-
dor at Constantinople, will insist on six
