Patriotic enthusiasm and eloquence
marked an elaborate luncheon given
today aboard an American warship In
honor of the President Of Brazil. Senior

Toasts were drunk to the Brazilian
republic and the United States, 10

Amid enthusiastic applause Admiral
Caperton dwelt upon the friendship
between the United States and Brazil.
He said he and his colleagues deeply
appreciated the honor and cordiality
shown the American navy by the gov
ernment and people Of Brazil.
The two republics. he declared, were
drawn together more closely than ever
by the great war, the battle for a
common cause daily Tightening the
spiritual and material bonds uniting
the two countries.

ity of the people and the President of

President Braz replied:
The American navy is always well

uonal friendship is based upon our
common democratic ideals snd the de-
feffse of q common cause.

Lenine Regime Impossible.
whether any government could
exist in Russia unless it declared
for immediate peace is matter OF
opinion, but it is certain the Lenine
makeshift will receive the support
Of none Of the allies.
The shipment OF allied stores to
Russia already has been stopped.
The British foreign office has de-
nounced Lenine's move for q gem
eral armistice. foreign diplomats in
Petrograd have refused to recog-
nize the government. and few, Rus
sian newspapers support Lenine-
Russian and enemy troops are
fraternizing freely on the west and
southwest fronts.
Petrograd is reported to be re-
suming its usual calm. The central
mowers seem to be exceeding wary,
wayering between following up the
peace offer with an immediate ad-
vance to Russia and awaiting de-
velopments.
His support ImpaIpabLe.
1t is difficult to learn to what ex-
tent Lenine represents Russian
opinion, but 1t is certain he hasn't a
supporter in this country.
Before the disintesration and de-
moralization became complete: Rus

would reassert themselves and save
Russia from the condemnation OF her
