RUSSIAN WRITER'S
Party That Played Into Hands
of Huns Declare Wilson Is
Not for Peace.
EVEN RED CROSS GETS RAP
Army and Fleet Journal De-
clares That America and
Britain Want More War.

PETROGRAD. Dec. 9.-Comment-
ing on President Wilson's message to
| congress, the Army and Fleet Journal
this morning pictures American and
Great Britain as determined to carry
on the war in order that they may
triumph commercially over all others,
including their allies. IL says:
Peace by means of war! This is
the mask under which the American
imperialists with their inflamed appe-
tites are posing. America declares
herself the implacable enemy of
Austria Hungary without any evident
reason. without any justifying motives
save covetousness and greed. At the
moment In which Russia is putting
forth efforts to end the war. Ameri-
can capitalists talking with hypocrisy
OF the horrors of war. are striving to
lengthen the bloody terror. America
and Great Britain desire to have all
countries SO weakened that they Will
remain the sole victors, and over the
bodies OF millionse that have been sac
rificed, divide the world. Their bour-
geois are dancing cannibalistic dances
over the bodies of ten million VIC
Tins"
The Isvrestia. the semi official or
gan of the soldiers and workmen's
deputies, says:
This is the old refrain--war to d
victorious end. We are sure the
end. We are sure the Krupps and all
the other German and Austrian can
non kings ar rubbing their hands with
glee at hearing such talk. The Ho-
henzollerns and the Hapsburgs are re-
Iolcing at the possibility of throwing
over to the shoulders of America the
responsibility of carrying on the war.
But the mighty call of the Russian
proletariat will soon be heard throut
the world, and the awakened nations
will force their governments first to
EN- armstice and then to peace"
Most OF the newspapers. aside from
the Bolsneviki organs, are still not
permitted to be printed.
The Isvrestia publishes letter from
NJ. Bakriloff, the former private Sec
retary to Madame Catherine Bresh-
kovskaya. the grandmother OF the
revolution" In which the aid given by
the American Red Cross representa-
tives to educa tional work in Russia is
interpreted as anti Bolsheviki activity.
The Bakriloff letter declares that Mr..
Robins and two other representatives
of the Red Cross called on Madame
Breshkovskaya and gave her 100000
rubles with the promise of $2.OOO.0OO
for her educational work, by which
she financed the newspapers Volyna
Naroda and displayed American films
picturing the terrible war of imperi-
olism." Previously the writer also as
sorts. Madams Breshkovskaya. on re-
turning from Siberia, entered into an
agreement with Moscow capitalists to
urge the postponement until the meet
ing of the constituent assembly of the
consideration of the land division
question.
The editor of the Volyna Naroda in
reply, states that Madam Breshkovs-
kaya Is at present absent from Petro-
grad, but will soon return to defend
herself against "the unworthy at
tempt to blacken her reputation re-
garding the monetary aid advanced
for the education of the Russian peo-
pie by their American friends"
The Mr.. Robins referred to in the
letter of Madam Breshkovskaya's for
mer secretary. is Raymond Robins of
Chicago. who is head of the perma-
nent American Red Cross mission to
Russia.
