Berlin, says that the recent state
ments OF premier Lvvoff and foreign
minister Tereschtenko. OF Russia. ex-
pressing determination to continue

great disappointment to those in
Germany who expected a separate
peace quickly with revolutionary
Russia
The Vorwaerts says Germany's pol
icy is not dictated by the pan-Ger-
mans and that the statements Of the
Russian ministers would never have
been made had chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg replied fully and sat
isfactorily TO the interpretations Of
the Social Democrats regarding war
aims. il continues;
The German people do not in the
least think of submitting to the
domination OF militarism after the
war and they will the less think OF
extending such domination over
other nations"
