GERMANS OFFER IS
TERMED "THEATRlC''
"Act of Publicity to Prepos-

Russ Official.

PETROGRAD. Dec. 16.-tVia Lon
don. 1911 p. ma further eXposi-
ton of the Russian governments at
titude toward the German peace pro-
posal is contained in the following
statement obtained by the Associated
Press from the Russian foreign Of
flee:
"a complete and emphatic rejection
by Russia of Germany's offer can
hardly have been necessary to con-
vince America and other neutrals of
the attitude which the allies will take
toward Germanys insincerc and the
atric peace proposal. Germany's wish
to impress the neutral nations must
have failed thru the very nature of
the proposal and the transparency OF
the motives which Inspired It. The
nation honestly desirous of commenc-
ing peace negotiations uses more
dignified and direct methods. She
does not advertise her intentions thru
out the world before her proposals
have even been transmitted to the
powers concerned.
| "Thc German declaration has the
! character of a sensational act of pub
| licity calculated to prcpossess the
neutral powers. Beyond this il does
not merit serious consideration. What
! the enemy suggests is n peace dictated
! by her and in accordance with the
very ideas which tho allies are fight
ing to destroy-ideas of German
hegemory of the Prussian type.
Russia cannot speak of peace will
an opponent who has proclaimed
himself the victor. The rejection o
Germanys proposal in no sense place
Russia in the position of a nation no
desirous of a durable peace or in
sensible to the urgent necessity o
rescuing Europe from the calamit
which has cast its shadow over tn
entire world. But Russia will con
tinue to suffer this calamity and adj
indefinitely to the sacrifices whic
she has already made rather than sub
nit to the greater catastrophe threat
ened by German imperial ambition!
"What Russia wants in commo
with her allies is not destroyc
Germany but the final defeat of thes
ambitions OF German domination
= When Germany desires fair and last
ing peace Russia will be disposed {
consider the time ripe for peac
