gates ended last night after the dele gates had discussed a supplementary communication from the provisional government explaining the note Of May l to the allies The council passed a resolution declaring that the govern ,nenfs new note which it will send to the allies puts an end to all interpre- tations of the note of May Day, con irary to the interests and aiTs or the revolutionary democracy.
 Another resolution was adopted de- claring the policy of annexation Tor the first time had been made the sub feet of international discussion and this fact would he considered an inn portant victory for the democracy. The resolution concluded:
 '''rhe executive committee. while as serting it's unalterasie determination not to make peace except on these con ditions, appeals to the entire revolu- tionary democracy of Russia to rally around the council of wori.men's and soldiers delegates and declares its firm assurance that the peoples of all the belligerent countries will be able to overcome the resistance of their gov ernments and force them to enter upon negotiations for peace on the basis of renunciation of all annexations and indemnities.'
 The explanation of the note of May l, which the provisional government gave to the council and which will be forwarded to the allied governments, , follows:
 The note was subjected to long and detailed examination by the provisional government and was unanimously ap- proved. It was obvious that this note. lyin of in view a solution of the problems which were mentioned in the communi- cation of April and which was thus . specified:
 The government deems it to be it's right and duty to declare now that free Russia does not aim al the do- minioii of ether nations or at depriv- ing them of their national patrimOny | or at occupying by force foreign ter ritories, but that its object is to estab- fish durable peace on the basis of the i rights of nations to decide their own destiny. The Russian nation does not lust after the strengthening of its l power abroad at the expense of othel nations; its aim is not to subjugate ol humiliate anyone. In the name of tho higher principles of equity, the Russian people have broken the chains whiCl ! fettered the Polish nation. but it vii
 not suffer that its own country shai
 emerge from the great struggle hu-
 initiated or weakened in it's vital force.
 Tn referring to the penalties anC ; guarantees essential to a durable peace, the provisional government hat
 in view the reduction of armaments
 the establishment of international tri
 bunals, etc. This explanation will b
 communicated by the minister of for
 eign affairs to the ambassadors of tn
 allied powers"
