Russian Peace Moue Means
Cutting of of u. S. Supplies


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-There will
be no formal announcement for the
present of the attitude of the United
States and the Allied nations toward
the Bolsheviki regime at Petrograd.
The American government is waiting
both for official information about the
relations of the Bolsheviki leaders with
German army officers and for further
developments in the tangled situation
throughout Russia.
In the meantime the only official ex-
preston has been made in statement
to the Russian General staff by Lieu
tenant Colonel Judson, head of the
American military mission, giving
warning that the logical outcome of
the movements for an armistice and
peace will be the cutting off of Ameri-
can supplies. This statement was made
without instructions from Washington,
but officials said to-day it Summarized
the situation accurately"
Steps already have been taken to
forestall the possibility of any part of
the vast stores of supplies bought in
this country for Russia falling into
enemy hands. Some ships are on the
way. but they can be diverted by wire
less at any time.
or course, official confirmation OF the
news that German staff officers are in
Petrograd advising Lenine. and his fol-
lowers and that some Of the Bolshevik
actually have crossed the German Dor
der 10 talk srmistice and peace will
make it necessary to recognize the
Petrograd radicals as enemies. This
would make Il necessary for the Amer
lean and Allied diplomats Immediately
to withdraw either 10 neutral coun-
Try or 70 some other part Of Russia.

German Socialists to
Support Peace Conference,
Says Berlin Newspaper

LONDON, Nov. 2s.-Concerning the
proposal Of r. Staining, leader Of the
Danish Socialist party, for a confer
ence of the Socialist Internationale
next month TO further general peace,
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Fredensborg, Denmark, says
THE Vorwaerts,' of Berlin, saying
that the German Socialists would sup
port the proposed new international
peace conference warmly and energeti
cially. as they did the unsuccessful
Stockholm conference, declares the
new conference will not be dependent
on the issuance of passports by the
Entente Powers. The conference, it
adds, held only for international So
cialists, cannot allow the governments
of states, which are only apparently
democratic, to deprive them of the
right to influence the peace question"

coming the presence here for the con-
ference o. the American delegation as
making available fresh minds and fresh

When the mission arrived it was
understood that only its chairman,
Colonel L. VI. House, General Tasker
II. Bliss, the chief of staff, and Ad-
miral William S. Benson, chief of
naval operations, would attend the full
sessions Of the conference, but it may
be that all the members of the mission
will take part. This point, which is
not yet quite determined, will depend
upon what the makeup of the repre-
sensations of the other countries viii
be.

The conference will continue two days.
Germany, it was learned in an au-
thoritative diplomatic quarter, has
brought great pressure to bear not
only upon Norway especially, but the
other scandinavian countries also, TO
counterfeit the growing pro-Entente
feeling and to secure fresh advantages
for the Central Empires. A Scandi-
navian diplomat said to-day:
Norway Greatly Aroused
ut cannot be denied that the pres
tige of Germany has been greatly in
creased in Europe and her situation
largely improved through the total col
lapse of Russia and the defeat OF the
Italian armies, with the subsequent in
vasion of Italy. These circumstances
have made vastly more difficult the
situation of the northern neutral coun-
tries, and Germany has taken advan-
tage OF their condition to prefer new
claims.
ut is now harder for these neutrals
to meet the wishes of the Allies, be-
cause if they take any further action
against the Central Powers, or even
if they refuse 10 grant 90 Germany
all that is required by strict and i'm
partial neutrality, we will be drawn
into the war.
1--WE maintain that il would advan-
tage neither side for US to enter the
war. That is not wholly correct, and II
would be nearer the truth to say that
we could not benefit the Allies by join
ing them. The Allies know, or ought
to know, this fact as well as ourselves.
"The situation is considerably more
difficult and delicate than is generally
supposed Germany does not bluff
when she makes threats. Germany
means what she says when she informs
neighboring countries that certain
course of action on their part will com
pei the Berlin government TO consider
the adoption of necessary measures to
meet the situation created by such n
course of action. Germany has moth
ing. certainly nothing for many months,

Saws Their DoctrinesW Would
Upset Social Systems of
All Nations
Would Be Greek Gift
Lenine Not Representing Rus
sian Interest, but Solely In
ternatic nal Proletariat

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 2S.-"hiie lhdi-
cations are lacking in the current 1er-
man comment as to what the response
of the Central Powers TO the BolsheVik
neace proposals will! be, the press Ut
terances indicate that there are ALREADY
many Germans who are convinced that
Nikolai Lenine's doctrines would upset
the political and social systems OF all
the nations of the world and bring a
peace which would prove to be Greek
gift. ..
Russian affairs, Hans Worst, writing
in the "Tageblatt." of Berlin, raises.
warning against the delusion that the
Polshevik peace programme CORE
sponds with the programme OF the
Central Powers.
German Parties Opposed
"No party in Germany he says
would be willing 70 subscribe TO such
q programme. The Independent So
cialists have no right to consider them
selves representatives of the same
ideas as Comrade Lenine, who contln-
uously condemns them as Oppor-
tunists." -,
Herr Worst points out that the Dol,
shevik demand for the freedom OF all
nations. regardless of their degree
of civilization or geographical sltua-
ton" involves the condemnation ana
overthrow of every nations colonial
policv. The BClsheviki realize that
their kind Of peace is possible only
after social revolution in all coun-
tries. he adds, but they do not realize
that it would also be impossible then
The German government, Herr worst
continues. has taken the standpoint
that il does not intend TO interfere
with the internal affairs Of other coun-
tries, but Lenine, on the contrary,
wishes TO overturn the social struct-
ure of the whole world, and the peace
negotiations are for him and his lol-
lowers only a means to this end.
Cannot Treat With Lenine
"Anv government the writer goes
on chat thinks it can treat with lie
nine in the traditional manner is mis-
taken, for Lenire and his follower
have no desire to represent any Rus
sian interest, but solely the interest
of the international proletariat."
Herr Worst declares that the Boishe-
vik demand for an immediate truce is
no easier 10 meet than to repeat
Joshua's feat Of stopping the sun and
the moon.
1--WE must avoid growing excited
until Russia's will for peace moves the
Bolshevik government to adopt a pro-
gramme which is not predicated on a
new order of things in the world, but
which actually offers the possibility of
a speedy and just peace" he concludes.
"The solution would be for the gov
ernments of the Central Powers to be
able to meet the Bolshevik doctrines
by presenting a comprehensive peace
programme OF their own"
