RUSSIA TIRED OF WAR

Russia is not satisfied with It's share

discomfort confined to Russians OF
German sympathies. 1t ia more ap.
parent among Russians who have
only the interests Of Russia at heart,
the thinking classes and the men who,
under another governmental system !,
would be forming Russian policy.
Maxim Gorky, the noted RussIan
writer, is the latest of these 10 coun-
sci against continuing the war.
"Russia sacrificed herse}f for her
friends and in return has been aban-
doned by them" Gorkey is quoted as
declaring. "WeaithY England, which
could alleviate our misery, remains
dull or offers help at conditions which
are shameful and humlliating.
"Since it is impossible TO bring the
war to a happy ending, it would be
better TO terminate it in order to
avoid a peace by the grace OF Eng
land"
Tshenkell, q member of Lhe duma,
at the recent session of that body, in
q notable speech advocating the con
clusion OF q separate-peace with Ger

called progressives intrude them
selves in an effort to separate the
government from the people ia order
to enslave the nation to q ~so-called
allied power which today is even
more hated than all our enemies to-
gether."
Complaints have been frequent
