RUSSIA AND SEPARATE PEACE
DISCUSSED BY A BOLST1EVIkI

sia- We believe that better terms for the
many were faced at the peace conference
by all the allies; il all the democracies
were to lay down their peace terms
Otherwise we fear that Germany,
dealing with Russia first and afterward
with the allies, will be able to get better
terms on both sides of Europe.
Apart from other considerations, a
separate peace with Russia will be used
in Germany. in the absence of revolu-
tionary movement in that country, as a
success from which the pan German and
military castles will profit further by set
ting themselves against a general peace
1.-THE allied government are forcing
Russia not only to make separate peace,
but into position Of dependence on Ger
many. They are compelling Russo Ger

the expedition to France should not be
alarmed by the long delays in receiving
answers to their letters. The branches

fast mail service and at least two daily

Two Letters Contrasted.
I received two letters recently. One

The former came through the French

second came in the American mail, adj
