We speak for the mass of the army. which refuses to remain another winter in the trenches un- le1s they arc convinced that an i'm mediate democratic peace is impos Sib,e with Germany. But in de- manding an immediate peace we find it inevitable that Russia act alone, because we believe that is the only way to get quick action.
