WASHINGTON, December 1--(Asso-

terday issued warning Of the danger
of eausing a reaction on the part of
Russia that would prove even more
faNorable to Germany and the central
powers than are the present serious
conditions. This might be occasioned
by any interference in the political aft
fairs of the desperate nation and a
caution is issued against a too hasty

LONDON, November 0-l(Associa.
ted Tress) - Delaycd) Lord Lans.
downe, who is a typical Tory. has given
to the public through the press of the
country letter in which be asks that
thorc be made forthwith revision Of
the war aims Of the Allies, which has
created decided sensation throughout
the United Kingdom, and is being used
by the paeifists ,as an argument for
the ending of the war and for early
negotiations for peace.
In his Letter Lord Lansdowne takes
the stand that the war aims as stated
by the Allies were such as to preclude
the possibility Of their acceptance by
the Central Powers and could NEAR
nothing but an indefinite prolongatior
of the war with its terrible slaughter
Of men and expenditure Of monies.
