RUSSIA ADVERSE.
Wilson's Proposal Amiably Re-
Sected by the Press aud Public.

~fErHoGRAD, Dec. ~. via London. Dec.
f5.--Presidcnt Wilson's note has called
forth from the Russian press and from
the nation itself a torrent OF criticism.
partly tolerant and partly sharply ad-
verse. but for the most part maintaining
Q tone OF polite. amiable rejection. The
Russian Government received the note
In the spirit of fricndliness In which II
was offered, but will find IL impossible
At present to uggest any terms which
would lead to a durable peace.
All the newspapers comment on what
- termed the iuopportunc moment for
Q peace step. The Reich says President
Wilson would better have been guided
~ the negative attitude which he OBJ
served In transmitting the ofYer.
1T Is too early TO give such counsel"
oays the Reich. AT such a time counsel
Fan he more harmful than useful. He
supposes both sides are following more
Or less the Same objects. What can the
people and Governments OF the Allies
reply after having definitely refused
0ermany's offer? Does President Will
ron think tho offer has been refused sim
ply on account of a lack OF concrete
terms and that II he fills this lack We
Q consider peace negotiations?
"Thcre is no necessity TO await terms
sh' wv N'l'" pflOltftllu 10 nj u0df-
ceptable. II President Wilson does not
understand that no offers can be mu-
tuaily acceptable to the Allies and their
enemies we at least understand it,"
Prominent members of the Duma and
al the political leaders from whom an
expression OF opinion could be obtained
concerning the note were united in the
conviction that the American suggestion
vas i'll timed and impracticablc. Prof.
Paul N. MilaukoN. leader OF the Const!-
tutional Democrats, said
"President Wilson's offer makes an
odd impression. The President said al
the time the German proposal was pre-
oonted that he would consider comment
harmful and that the United States would
take part In peace mediation only IL Il
received a definite offer or a hint from
the Allies that they would md American
Interference acceptable. Quite the oppo-
site is the case. The Allies definitely
rejected Germany's proposals. In such
. case II seems that President Wilson's
offer Of assistance is futile. The note
can only make "A negative impression.
"The lack OF definite terms was no,
the only obstacle to the Allies consider.

6uess what the Central Powers will Of.
fer. and If they offered much more thar
was expected. even then the time would
not be ripe for mediation"
NJ. Rodzianko. President of the numa
said "My attitude toward the note |,
negative. Ii - not time for us or oui
Allies to conclude peace. There woult
not be peace for any length of time. ant
