Berlin, Nov. 15.-The Berlin press
generally gives = friendly reception
to the peace manifesto Of the Russian
Maximalists.
The Vorwaerts, the Socialist organ.
and the Germania, the Catholic organ,
each raises the question whether the
bolsheviki will retain the power.
A temporary cessation Of hostilities
between Russia and the Central Pow
ers, the Germania says, would bring
peace nearer. It adds that Germany
and Austria-Hungary would promptly
agree to limited armistice as pro-
posed and that Russia's allies could
not escape the effects of such step.
The difficulties Of arranging such
an armistice are pointed out by the
National Zeitung, which asks how an
armistice would be interpreted. 1t
asks also what Great Britain will e.
pect should the war be halted.
While the allied blockade of Ger.
many would be raised. the Zeitung
objects to such q procedure on the
ground that England could then calm
ly rest0ck herself while Germany
would not enjoy any benefits, adding:
For who would supply Germany
The overseas countries not neutral
would count for little"
