Stirring Address to the
Russian Parliament
EXPRESSES FAITH
IN ALLIES SUPPORT
Thinks Germanys Aim Is to Separate
Russia from Other Nations by Peace
full Means in Order to Make Use of
Country After the War.

pETROGRAD,, Monday, Oct. %
Foreign Minister Terstchenko, in adj
dressing the preliminary parliament
today, said a separate peace was i'm
possible and that the defense Of Rus
sian territory was one of the funda-
mental needs.
The foreign Minister said the abso-
Lutte Independence Of Courland and
perhaps Of Poland and Lithuania was
impossible, as il would mean that
Russia would return to the days before
Peter the Great.
He also asserted that complete de-
mobilization and disarmament and neu-
trnlization Of canals and straits were
impossible.
NJ. Tercstchenko declared the Of
fers for a separate peace and the sen
timent in favor of them were strongest
last MAY. when they were followed by
Russian offensive.
''Therc is q rumOr that the allies
wish TO leave Russia to her fate, he
continued, "but | state officially that
il il untrue. Germany's aim IS TO sep
arate Russia from the allies and if
possible do this by a peaceful means
in order to use Russia economically aft
erwards.
