the German government has directed
its troops against the Russian Coun-

NEW HUN WAR ON
RUSSIA FAILS TO
WIN APPROVAL
Press of Two Countries Re-
vealS Fact That Russian
Drive Is Unpopular
By associated Press I

London, Feb. 2O.-Germany's new
war against Russia apparently is not
popular with the German or Austrian
people, according to comment in the
press of the two countries.
When the Brest-Ltovsk negotia-
tions closed all talk in Germany was
of peace. The schoolchildren were
given a holiday and joybells were
ring. The public apparently did not
discriminate between peace with the
Ukraine and with Great Russia, but
acclaimed it as a general peace with
Russia.
Georg Bernhard, in the Vossische
Zeitung, emphasizes this point and
wants an explanation of who was
responsible for this disappointment.
