 Best-Litovsk,
 Dec. 31, 1917. No. 365 NIX.
 Comr. Shitkevitch: Take copies and send to the Commiss. for Foreign Affairs, personally to Comr. Zal- kind.
 To the Council of National Commits saries: Comrade l.. D. Trotzky has GERMANY PA1D-GALLEY TWO ... charged me to bring to the knowl- edge of the Council of National Com missaries the motives for his tele- graphic proposal to arrest the ROu- manian diplomatic representatives in Petersburg.
 Gen. Hoffman, referring to the con- ference which had taken place in Brest-Litovsk between the members of the German and Austro- Hunga- rian delegations on December 29, in the name of the German and Aus train chief command Ia deciphered connection) a confidential demand concerning the immediate indictment of the Roumanian army to recognize the necessity of an armistice and ad- opting the terms of democratic peace pointed out by the Russian de- legates. The implacabihty of the staff and the whole commanding force of the Roumanian army, with regard to which the chief command of the German army has received the most exact agency information, spells the excellent impression produced in Germany and on all the fronts by the Russian peace propositions, which has made 1t possible to again stimu- late the popular feeling a4ainst Eng land, France and America and can bring about an undesirable and dan gerous aggravation of the peace ques- ton up to the German army going over to the attack on our front and an open annexation of the territories occupied in Russia.
 The general expressed his opinion that against peace might be the Cos sacks, some Ukranian regiments, and the Caucasian army. in which case they will also doubtless be joined by the Roumanian armies. which, ac- cording to the information in pos. session of the German staff, enters into the authorizations of 'Kaledin and Alcxieff. It is greatly in the interest of the German and Austrian delega- tions that complete harmony should prevail on the entire Russian front as regards the conclusion of an arm- istice and adopting the terms of a peace between Russia and Germany, seeing that in this event the German and Austrian chief com- mand will propose to Roumania their terms of peace, and will be in a position to take up their operative ac- lions on the western front on a very large scale; at the same tme Gen. Hoffman, in the course of conver- satiOn with Comr. Trozky, twice hint ed at the necessity of immediately beginning these war operations. When Comr Trotzky declared that at the disposal of the d1nncips pow or there are no means of influencing the Roumanian staff, Gen. Hoffman pointed out the necessity of sending agents to the Roumant- m Army and Athe possibility of arr resting the Roumanian mission in and repressive measures against the Roumanian king and the commanding forces.

 Maj. von Boehlke, Esteemed Com rade: l bring to your notice that our Finnish comrades, Hakhia, Pukko, and Enrot have advised the commits sar for combating the counter-revo- lution of the following facts:
 Il Between the English officers and the Finish bourgeoise organizations there are connections which cause us serious apprehension.
 g. In Finland have been installed two wireless stations which are us- ed by unknown persons who com municate in cipher.
 3. Between Gen. Kaledin and the American mission there is an un- doubted communication, of which we have received exact information from your sourcet, and, therefore. a most careful supervision of the American embassy is necessary.
 These reports must be established exactly. Our agents are helpless. Please excuse that write on the official letter heads, but I hasten to do this, sitting here at the commits sion at an extraordinary meeting. Ready to serve.-F.. Zalkind.
 Note-The written comment at the top of the letter is "Commissar for Foreign affairs. I request exact in structions. Schott." It is von Boe1- ke,s question, signed with his cipher name. ((See document 5.) The let ter may imply that von Boehlke had. in the opinion of his good friend Zalkind, means of internal obser- vation at the American embassy.

When passed through Torneo the control officer talked frankly about the details, expressing the opioniQn that the shooting might have been mistake, as it was not shown that Svetlitzsky was aware of the contents of the letter. Svetlitz- sky, however, was an important per- son in Petrograd, close to Trotzky. Our American party brought Guara- nesco, the first secretary of the Rou- manian delegation out of Finland through the lines with us. He had been in Red Finland seven weeks. Be- hind us at Bjornebury we left several families of Roumanians who had de- parted from Petrograd with the mi mister. We would have liked to have brought them through the lines of the two armies, but our venture was too desperate to permit unauthorl- zed additions to the party.

ACROSS
 FOR UNCLE SAM

William s. Hart, of moving pie ture fame, is one of the enthusiastic advocates for a general response to the Governments appeal for sub scriptions to it's Liberty Loans. Here is what Hart says:
 Every American who has ac- cepted the great blessing that God has given, and has lived the large and flee life bought by the blood of many brave and devoted men, and passed on to us a priceless heri- taEe, has a chance now to repay.
 It is for him at this instant to trs'ify 10 the world what he knows he owes his country.
 He should at once, and cheerfully, give a little of his goods that his country has secured to him.
 He should promptly say to the world, which is listening, and per haps cynically criticising: When my country asks me for life or for money 1 cheerfully offer both."
 He should demonstrate that pa triotlsm is something greater and more sacred than an idle senti- ment.
 And III contributing according to his means for the high purpose plac- ed before him by his President, he sr ouId appreciate that in rreality he is making no gift, but is in yesting in the greatest security in the world-THE PLEDGE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"
