to joint session of the senate and

Dassador, may | state that Russia re-
Jects any idea of separate peace. What
Russia Is aiming at is the establish

cratic nations. The triumph of Ger
man autocracy would render such a
peace impossible"
No previous incident of the war has
stirred the senate and house to such
enthusiasm. Senators and representa-
uNes, VINO had restrained their ap-
plause at the appearance of Marshal
Jofire and Foreign Secretary Balfour.
