PARIS. December 4.-The statement

British Press Generally Silent.

The declaration of the agreement is
given a secondary place in the morning
papers, and is only comented upon by
two of them. The conservative press,
which formerly vehemently supported
the British statesmen of the nineteenth
century in keeping the Russians away
from Constantinople, receive the news in
silence and give it no prominence.
The liberal Chronicle and the liberal
News are the only papers to make any
comment The Chronicle says that the
announcement deserves to be highly
welcome in England and sets out reason
why it thinks it desirable. The News,
with less enthusiasm. thinks that the
present settlement of the veXed question
will shorten and simplify the proceedings
at the ultimate peace conference.

Premier Trepoff read a proclamation
announcing officially that an agree

Great Britain in 1918, and later ap-

hearts of the Russian people, now is

Scores German Influence.

PETROGRAD. December 3. via London,
December 4.-The meeting of the duma
yesterday was the most significant demon
stration of the accumulative force which
the cause of the duma has acquired since
the opening of the present session. For
the first time demands for change in
ment were not only voiced in unequivo-
cal terms. leaving not the slightest
doubt. but were allowed to be pub
Iished in the newspapers.
NJ. Purishkeyich, in a long speech, Sc
verely arraigned the government and
spoke frankly of the German influence,
which, he said. pervading not only the
interior of the country, but even the
army, had conspired to extinguish pa
triotism and the fighting efficiency of
the nation. and of mismanagement and
corruption in the economic life of the
country, which included the conversion
to personal use of the public resources
Of the country at a time when they
were most urgently needed.
Added weight was given to NJ.
Puriskevich's words by the fact that he
group, which. siding with the govern
ment. has given little sopport to the
campaign against the present cabinet.
The chaos and disorganization exist
ing in the ranks of the government"
said NJ Purishkevich, has postponed
tinue to spread rumors of peace it
means that somebody is trying to con-
clude it," (Cries from the left. ''True")
Our allies speak very little of the pos
ribiIity of peace because there are not
broad any dangerous currents which
here. entering the organism of the gov
ernment, are destroying the will of the
highest representative. The internal
disorder has been caused, no doubt, by
the German party. which is working
with extraordinary persistence. The
present government is doing more than
any other element to kill the patriot
ism of the people, and by want of sys-
tenn is weakening enthusiastic desire
for victory"

Favors at Public Expense.

The speaker went on to say that the
instability of the government made
agreement between it and public opin-
ion impossible. He then gave exam
pies of personal privileges. such as
railway facilities for private business,
bestowed upon individuals to the detri-
ment of the country at time when
the people suffered from shortage of
the ordinary necessaries of life. He
said that, despite all measures and pre-
cautions to eliminate German influence
there were concrete instances of per-
sons of high rank attempting to fur
ther the German propaganda in Russia
by means of German capital. This ex
tended to factories and other indus

Offers Made to Turkey.

From the beginning of the war.
wishing to spare human lives and suf-
fering, we and our allies did our ut
most to restrain Turkey from mad
participation in hostilities. Turkey re-
ceived formal assurances guaranteeing
her, in exchange for neutrality, the in
tegrity of her territory and inde-
pendencc, and also comforting on her
compensating privileges and adVan-
tages. These efforts were vain. Tur-
key surreptitiously attacked US and
thus sealed her own doom.
We then concluded an agreement
with our allies, which establishes in
the most definite manner the right of
Russia to the straits and Constantine
pie. Russians should know for what
they are shedding blood and, in accord
with our allies, announcement of this
