THEY WANT PEACE
Russian Armies in Favor of 1t
Regardless of Terms.
Bolsheviki Count Strongly on
Central Power Revolution.

Petrograd, Feb. THE greater
portion of the Russian armies want
peace regardless of terms.
But the Bolsheviki adopting "a win
or bust" policy, are determined to sur
render to Germany only as last re-
sort.
They are hoping that a revolution
in Rumania. or possibly in the central
empires, will save the situation for
them.
The Bolsheviki are counting so
strongly on an Austro-German revolu-
ton in fact, that they are already
planning to delegate to leaders of the
Socialists in the central empires the
task of representing Russia in Berlin
and Vienna after the war. They have
picked Liebknecht, the German rad
ical, as the Russian representative at
Berlin and Otto Bauer at Vienna.
No news have been received at the
Smolny institute from Brest-Litovsk
in the last thirty-six hours. The Ger
mans have cut the wires to prevent
the Russians receiving news of the
general strike in the central powers.
Under Foreign Secretary Tchicherir
demanded of Mirbach, one of the Ger
man delegates, an explanation of the
cutting of the wires.
Mirbach denied the Germans were
responsible, declaring their own wires
were cut. Tchicherin replied that the
explanation was raw and that the
severance of the communication was
unquestionably deliberate.
Smolny institute does not know
positively whether the peace negotia-
tionS have been resumed.

MUST AVOW UNION
This and Increase of 10 Cents an Hour
Are Car Strikers Terms.

st. Louis, Mo. Feb. 7.-Officials of
the United Railways company and a
committee from the st. Louis Chamber
of Commerce were in session today
with a view to working out plan to
bring into conference railway heads
and representatives of the striking
carmen for a settlement of the strike.
Some of the directors, it was re-
ported, were willing to concede the
right of the men to organize. Since
recognition of the union is the prin-
cipal issue of the strike, the attitude
of these directors was taken by some
to indicate an early adjustment of the
trouble.
In the meantime the United Rail-
ways is awaiting action by the public
service commission on its petition for
permission to increase passenger fares,
enabling it to meet the demands of the
5000 strikers for 10 cents an hour in
crease in wages.
