IENINE ELAN oPposED.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 26.-Lenine' S
peace proposals have apparently start
ed a dangerous break in the Bolshe-
Wiki. The Petrograd soldiers and
workmen's council is dissatisfied with
the Lenine-Trotsky peace offers.
Deputy Kamineff suggested that peace
not be proclaimed until the Germans
promised not to withdraw troops
from the Russian fronts for use
against the allies. Other Bolsheviki
are aroused because Lenine and Trot-
sky did not consult the council re-
garding peace terms. The Lenine and
Trotsky dictatoria1 methods are Bit
terly denounced.
The German refusal to negotiate is
expected to ALLEVIATE many other Boil
sheviki supporters. The cadet party
has formally proclaimed that the
Trotsky- LeniDe statements must not
be- considered as representing the
Russian peoples will. 1t is learned
that the monarchists are arranging
meetings. General Brusiloff and Nj.
DraGomiroff are reported leading a
movement for the restoration of the
monarchist regime.
General Kryienko. newly appointed
commander of the Russian armies is
unable to assume control. General
Dukhonin, whom the Bolsheviki dis
missed, insists upon retaining CON
troll. He formally notified the Bolshe-
Wiki leaders that II Krylenko appear
