be added to the national forest, and

Russia's Peace Talk Is Poisoning

The German armstice part Of this plan. The
Russian council Of wormen and soldiers representing,
far it possible, the plain people Of Russia,
thrust out its hands towards the democracy Of Ger
many.
Only few days Of negotiations showed, instead OF
having grasped the horny hand Of democracy they had
shaken hand bearing the gauntlet Of mitarism. That
handclasp is broken today The Russian dream Of
reaching thru and beyond mtarism and kaiserism, TO
the German people, has been shattered.
If there is a German democracy such as the Rus
slams hoped to encounter it lies behind the stone wall of
the kasers mitarism. Proof that it exists is in the
fact that the autocrats preventing Russians from
dropping pamphlets behind the German lines, and that
Foreign Minister Kuhlmann will not permit German
socialists go to Stockholm TO confer officially with
Russian liberals.
If Lenine and Trotsky cannot reach the German
people now they must try 10 batter down the wall be-
tween them and their German fellows.
In other words they must again join the allies
and help TO fight the way TO the German common
people.
