Washington May
Brand the Bolsheviki
Regime 'Unfriendly'

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Oficials
of this government regard the Boil
sheviki move for an armlstice between
Russia and her enemies and the open
ing OF immediate peace negotiations as
an act that would place Russia almost
in the list Of unfriendly nations.
Press dispatches telling Of the peace
movement were confirmed by a cable
gram from Ambassador Francis re
ccived to-day at the State Department
IL is said that Leon Trotzky, National
Commissioner for Foreign Affairs in
the Bolsheviki government. had sent
formal notification TO diplomats at
Petrograd that his government had
proposed an armistice with view to
immediate peace negotiations.
Il was pointed out that should these
negotiations be successful II would be
most difficult 70 deal with Russia as
q neutral country in view of the posi-
ton she has held as an ally of the
nations fighting Germany and the
marked advantage in the war that such
a course might give the latter country.
Ambassador Francis has been given
no instructions 10 deal with the Bolshe-
Wiki government. In reporting TO the
State Department on the peace move. he
made it clear that he had not formally
acknowledged receipt Of the Trotzky
note. He said he had been advised
that the Soviet Congress had adopted
a resolution instructing generals at
the front 70 enter into negotiations at
once with the German commanders
relative to a three months armistice
with instructions 10 report TO the Con-
gress.
Reports that Russia was seeking
peace created the greatest interest IN
official and diplomatic circles, and every
dispatch from Petrograd was analyzed
during the day with the hope that some
promise might be found that Russia
would continue the fight against the
common enemy. Ambassador Francis:
dispatch. dated November q, apparent
~ dispelled any hope Of strengthen
ing OF Russia's resistance unless the
Bolsheviki government should be quick

Allied Mission to
Help China Prepare
For Her art in War
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-An inter
national commission, composed OF rep
resentatives Of the Entente powers and
the United States, will meet in Shang-
hal az an early date 10 discuss details
OF the application of the concessions
made on the part OF the powers and of
China in view of the participation OF
China in the war.
IL ia understood that Minister Reinsch
will represent the United States az the
conference, and that the other partici-
pants will be the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the Allied countries. China, II
was learned to-day, has replied favora-
bly, TO the communication stating the
Allied concessions and desiderata. The
principal considerations are said 20 be
permission for China 10 increase i'm
port duties and 10 postpone payment OF
the Boxer indemnity.
Unofficial advices received here to-
day state that the French Minister 70
China had made proposal 20 the
Picking government, which had received
the approval of the Paris Cabinet and
the Allies. respecting the dispatch Of a
Chinese military force 10 France. and
which. il was said. probably will be &C
cepted By the Chinese Ministry.
The details are now under discussion
in Peking and will be made public
shortly. Roughly. the scheme is TO send
two divisions OF infantry 10 France,
numbering about $4,000 men. This force
will be put in the second line and be
employed on lines OF communication Of
transport and other work behind the
front.
Being without auxiliary arms, cavalry
or artillery, and without equipment
other than uniforms and probably RI
fes. the transport Of this force will be
greatly simpliied. II will be equipped
in France with all necessaries not
brought from China, and, the question
Of preliminary training for the trenches
being dispensed with, can be put on
duty practically Immediately on land

LONDON. Nov. 23.-Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister of Blockade. in his
weekly talk to-day with The Associated

sued by Nikolai Lenine and his follow
ers IN Russia, urging an immediate

Lord Robert continued, that the Rus

action. | do not want 70 indulge in
any personal abuse, but if you will eX-

trenches. II the object of the Len
mites primarily had been 70 destroy
the Russian army as fighting force, 1t

could have been taken by these gen

Asked whether the Allies were likely
TO recognize the present Russian gov
eminent, Lord Robert said he could
rot imagine such a step possible. To
the question whether Great Britain had
undertaken any embargo on merchan-

he did not know that any formal en-

half of his associates, said concerning

a message of encouragement from
the American millions who are mob
liking in factories, farms and upon
military fields.
There is grim determination
among US TO wage war until the world
is free from the shadow and spectre
Of the sword. We had in mind no
material gain. What we want is an
assurance Of permanent peace, and
the tramp OF our soldiers upon the
soil OF France will be heard ever IN
creasingly until it is achieved.
