LEVINE IS AUTOCRATIC
LEVINE IS DANGEROUS

Geneva, November 25.--Commenting upon Lord Robert Cecils declaration against recognition of Lenines regime in Russia, the Journal de Geneva says:
 "Lenine never acknowledged that Russia had any duties toward it's a1- ies and they must realize that Lenine rules in Petrograd. His proposal of an armistice with Germany is dangerous because he can even find Russian gen. eral to sign this monstrous trea- son with him the agreement prob ably would result in the release of 100000 German prisoners against the allies"
 The paper suggests that if Lenine is to be bought the allies should buy him.

Petrograd. November 2y-tFriday, Midnight)-At a meeting of the cen- trai executive committee of the work mems and soldiers deputies tonight, the BoIshevil1i premier, Lenine, reply ing to criticisms directed against the order that the soldiers open negotia- tions for an armistice, which order a wounded soldier termed a grent blum der the part of the council of ua- sfOnnl commissioners, explained that the order was issued in the desire to combat the counter revolutionary tac- ties of General kukhonin and other high officers. making 1t impossible for them to prevent the opening of neEo- tiDti0ns.
 This, he said. was in keeping with
 the policy of the democratic govern
 ment that they mass themselves as
 bureaucrats, civil and military. were
 distrusted. He pointed out that the soldiers are not empowered to sign q treaty for an armistice but only to negotiate if.

 Germany; that the belief that an arr
 mistice on the Russian front would
 make it possible for Germany to throw
 large force on the French front was
 vroundless as the Russian govern
 ment before signing treaty for an
 armistice would communicate with the
 tllies and make certain proposals ito the imperialistic governments of
 France and England, rejection of which would place them in open op- position to the wishes of their own peoples"
 LEVINE IS AUTOCRATTC The autocratic methods of the coun. cil of national commissioners. as in- stanced by the issuance of decrees re- iating to an armistice without con sulting the central executive commit tee of the workmens and soldiers deputies which is the highest govern ing body in Russia today, have caused diSsension in the ranks of the Bol- sheviki camp. The conflict between the protecting members of the com
 mittee, notably the social revolution ists, and the council of the national commissioners is ripening.
 The question of the authority of the council to issue an order to the sol diers and open peace negotiations was heatedly discussed.

 The fighting, while severe, was not of that whirlwind character of the last two days and both sides are engaged in reorganizing their positions on the shifting front and taking momentary respite from the tremendous strain of the last few days.

 ARTILLERY FIGHTS WELL The Italian artillery has especially distinguished itself. In the fighting around Meletta D'Aventi. mountain battery was obliged to fall back with the infantry Every officer of the bat tery had been killed except the cap tain. who was badly wounded, while bleeding on the ground he called two gunners, ordered them to set up the wreck of the remaining gun and di- rected them to fire from this point. The last seen of him was on the ground behind this piece.
 GUNNERS JOIN INFANTRY The other batteries were brought into action yesterday morning. The en- emy fire was so fierce that whole bat . cry was nearly swept away. As the captain was killed his place was taken by lieutenant. When the last gun was destroyed in storm of shells the few gunners about him seized their bayonets and joined the infantry as they swept forward in charge and were among those who drove back the enemy in one of the fercest attacks. In another case an explosion almost buried one of the mountain batteries in debris and killed the captain. The Austrians tried to occupy the position over this buried battery. But the bat terymen first drove the enemy back. then dug out their guns and: 20 men and carried them back so that the guns again are in service today.
