made probably with two objects in
yiew-to dispel the possible effects Of
the sinister propaganda conducted by
Teuton agents seeking now to ALLEVIATE
Russia and Roumania and induce them
to sign a separate peace, and to dis
arm the Russian Bolsheviki, who have
been spreading the idea that Great
Britain was planning to betray Russia
