countries" according to a Petrograd
/ dispatch reporting on the outcome
/ of the visit by Bolsheviki military
! delegation to the German lines on
the Russian front for negotiations
with the German military authori-

indicated in the 1916 peace offer and
in the German reply to Pope Bene-

Reichstag resolution of last July.
The Entente Government and the
United States, on the other hand,
have shown no disposition to nego-

/ world" continued to be menaced by
"a vast military establishment, con.
