the Officers of the Jewish Confer

complete list taken from the direc-

to be laid so as to reach every Jew
in the city who is in position to
contribute something to the War

To make sure that every element
in the city will work whole-heart-

two hundred names of men and

the active workers were to be

RUSSIA REJECT. ING
SEPARATE PEACE
PROPOSALS
New Government Will Not Respond
to TeuI0niC 0VertureS
UNITED STATES ASSURED
Plan of Socialists Looks to Overthrow
of Monarchies in Germany and
Austria.

Washington, April 19.--Assurances
reached here yesterday that under no
conditions that are now conceivable
will the provisional government OF
Russia yield to the overtures from Ger
man and Austrian socialistic represent
tatives to negotiate separate peace.
The entente embassies, with this
assurance before them, frankly con-
fessed the great sense OF relief they
felt from the apprehension, under
which they have labored for the past
two weeks, that the extreme socialis-
tic elements have dominated the pro-
visional government through soldiers
and workingmen's committees so as
seriously to leopard the integrity of
the entente alliance.
The gathering of socialists at
Stockholm, known to be fomented by
Germans and Austrians, was looked
upon with dread and suspicion and it
was feared that cunning appeals to
the altruistic principles Of socialism.
the universal brotherhood of work
ingmen, and such considerations,
might force the provisional govern
ment to consent to separate peace to
terminate the war.
II. is now learned from an authorit-
ative source that these apprehensions
and mlsgiyings were based upon
Misunderstanding of the aims OF the
extreme socialistic element in Russia
and of the real strength OF the provis-
ional government. The information
received yesterday is that, so far from
contemplating any peace on the basis
of existing governments, the advanced
Russian socialists want TO carry their
democratizing ideas by force into the
enemy countries, and to appeal to
their brother socialists in Austria and
Germany TO rise in revolt, oyerturn
the rnonarchies and establish true So
cialistic republics in their places.
This movement is reported to be
gathering strength rapidly in Russia
among the soldiers and workingmen.
The former are falling into line again
to renew the campaign in the east and
the workingmen are going back to
their shops to turn out shot and shell
and powder on the greatest possible
scale From every quarter comes as
surance of support for the provisional
government
