KAISER'S PEACE OFFERS
DENOUNCED BY RUSSIA
"Hypocritical, Enigmatic and Contrary
to Reichstag Resolution"
Terestchenko Declares

WASHINGTON, oct 17.-Russia regards
the Kaiser's peace offers as "hypocrltical,
enlgmatic and even contrary to the Reichs-
tag resolutions" according to cable TO
the Russian embassy today from Foreign
Minister Terestchenko. His statement did
not disclose the slightest leaning toward a
separate peace with the Teutons
"The German Government does not re-
nounce German peace which conflicts
with principles of law and Justice" said
Terestchenko 1T would only consent to
peace negotiations on the basis OF main
tanning the conquered territories. except
perhaps some partial resolutions, which
would be decided upon at the peace con-
ference itself"
After declaring that President wilson's
reply TO the Vatican precisely formulated
the Allies general aims, Terestchenko said {.
ION the other hand, renewed Russia has
announced the principles for which the
free people Of Russia are fighting. with
regard to this, Germany has made no open
and frank declaration, always proclaiming
the supremacy of force to law, awaiting the
moment when she will have the possibility
of consolidating her attained conquests by
force"
