Although no move has been made by
the Federal government to compel the
registration of women of German birth
as alien enemies, it became known yes
terday that several hundred Of these
are under observation in this city and
nearby New Jersey. Others against
whom the suspicion of spying and plot
ting is held are under surveillance.
The difference between observation
and surveillance, a government oflcer
yesterday explained, is one OF degree
only. observation meaning in Secret
Service parlance that the subject is un-
der general supervision, while survell-
lance means that a close watch is kept
night and day.
Against women of German birth or
blood complaints Of suspicious actions
have been numerous since the out
break of hostilities. In addition, there
were MANY others whose relations 10
German agents we're known, or whose
actions as individuals had put them
under the watchful eye of the govern
ment while the country was still at
ncace with Germany. Some of these
arc known to have had rather close
connections with plots against muni-
tions works and shipping, and others
have been under watch as spies pure
and simple.

dangerous element in the German spy
system was declared yesterday by

Gorky Reveals
Bulgarian Ruse
ToObtain Peace
Author Rejects ENJOYS Plea
for Conference-Makes
Public His Offer

Petrograd, May 31.-MsXim Gorky,
noted Russian author, publishes an ac-
count of an attempt by D. Rizow, the
Bulgarian Minister at Berlin, TO in
yeiele him into clandestine negotia-
tions for separate peace. He prints
Rizow's secret dispatch, occupying three
columns, with concrete peace proposals.
and. although he himself is an almost
fanatical advocate Of peace, denounces
Rizow.
The proposal was delivered to Gorky
a. Petrograd in duplicate by two Ter
man agents, acting individually. Klzo~
begins by proclaiming that already IN
January he had approached the Russian
ministers at Stockholm and Christiania
and been rebufed. Immediately after
tho revolution Rizow renewed his at
.ernt with the Russian minister at
Cbristiania, who was an old acqualnt-
snce. and received, through the minis
YER reply from Professor Paul Miliu-
koF. then Foreign Minister, that there
couId be no question of separate
peace.
Urges Russia to Break Treaty
Notwithstanding this, Rizow, an
nouncing himself as Russia's real
friend. now approaches his acquaint-
ance. Maxim Gorky. lie attempts to
refute successively the arguments GUS
tomarily used against separate peace.
lie offers 10 guarantee that Germany
and Austria will not again undertake
an offensive against free Russia and
sddS that both powers are wiling 70
evacuate the occupied territory with
out the expenditure Of another drop OF
, Russian blood.
Rizow declares that Germany and
Austria in no wise menace Russias new
freedom. He accuses England Of beng
the real militarist state, not Germany
and declares that Russia has no moral
obligation TO keep her treaty with the
Allies because treaty-breaking has
been common in the present war.
I The Provisional Government addS
Rizow. must be forced TO answer the
question: "Who. after three years mas
sacre, gave you the right to continue
shedding Russian blood"
Asks Immediate Armistice
Rizow thereupon makes the following
concrete proposal: Russia 70 conclude
an immediate armistice with her foes
both belligerents retaining their pres
ent fronts, and 20 summon Immediately
Russian constituent assembly with
the aim Of deciding on peace or war.
This, says Rizow, is the only means
