misunderstanding messages from
Russia to the effect that no separate
peace will be tolerated, but that the
armies under Gen. DukhOnin Will
fight on, have been received by the
Russian embassy in London.
DR.. J.. O. Gavronsky, special COM
missioner of the Russian provisional
government. and N. NJ. NOrdmann, di-
rector of the Department of Econom-
les in the ministry of foreign affair
who are now in London, declared that
it was only a matter of a few weeks
it may be sooner-when the BOlShe-
wiki will be repudiated, as the forces
in south Russia, which is ovcrwhelm-
ingly opposed to a separate peace,
control the supplies and are working
quietly but in the right direction.
The fact that the embassy staffs in
London are carrying on their routine
work with the Dukhonin headquarters
as well as with part of the Russian
navy, the same as usual, is said by
the embassy officials to indicate that
there is no intention TO recognize the
Petrograd usurpers.
According to Gavronsky and Nord-
mann, the situation is most delicate
because of the ignorance of the
masses, therefore, the forces which
are working to put Russia gain on her
feet are doing so quietly.

DRIVE ON BRITISH LINE HALTED.
Gen. Haig Saves Front in Spite OF
Terrific Raid by Germans.

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 5.-The Germans evidently have
stopped their tactics Of sacrificing
men in an effort to break through tn"
British lines near Cambria. The Lon
don report says, however, the success
of the enemy in gaining a footing at
two places is minimiZed. by the
achievement of the British in hating
the attempted advanc'. The Germans
still claim the capture of 5000 men
and 100 guns around Cambria, but the
British war office says the number OF
captured prisoners on each side is Tar
in excess of that figure.
The expected drive of the Austro'
Germans in Italy has not begun, but
II is believed new infantry operations
will begin as soon as the weather
clears a little.
On the Aisne and Meuse fronts tn"
French and Germans are continuing
their artillery duels, but no infantry

U.S.. GUARDS IN FRANCE

Represent Every State and Were
Given Hearty Reception by
French Population.

With the American Army in France
National guardsmen from every
state in the Union have arrived II
France, it is now permitted to be an
nounced. They are among the troops
now training or lately arrived.
While it is not permitted to dis
close the identity of units, it may bt
said that all those which sailed from
the United States have arrived safely
are in good health, and that some al
ready are in training within sound OF
the guns on the battle front.
They are showing q spirit in keep
ing with the purpose of all concerned
to make the American eXpeditionary
force a homogeneous American army,
in which each division, whether regu
lar, National Guard or National
Army, cannot be distinguished in eff
cheney from the others. The former
state troops are billeted over a wide
area and are pronounced excellent sol
diers.
The guardsmen have been arriving
in the American zone for many weeks,
They are scattered somewhat, but as
far as possible the units from the
same state have been kept close to-
gether, except in II case. They found
the regular army had made good prep
arations for them, and while many are
billeted in houses in French towns,
others have been auartered in low
wooden barracks specially erected.
The troops from the various states
have been recognized by the French
population and have been welcomed
enthusiastically. Many of the units
on arriving in billet towns wore the
French red, white and blue cockade
pinned to their campaign hats. These
were given to the soldiers when they
landed at base ports. After a suffi-
cient time to rest from the journey.
which in some cases has been ex
tremely tiresome, the troops have
been set to work training for actual
service at the front. In all quarters
they are declared to be most enthu-
s~iastic, and their soldierly qualities
have drawn high praise from the
French instructors.
