capituIation Received With
Varying Emotions.

London. Feb. 22.-The bolsheviki
capltulation to a German peace and
news Of the German advance was re.
ceived In Petrograd in various ways,
according to Wednesdays reports.
The correspondent OF the Times says
profound disgust and shame were felt
and uttered by serious and intelligent
people and was reflected in the non
bolsheviki newspapers.
A report to the Morning Post says
that the saner element OF the popula-
ton calls for closer cooperation with
the allies looking to the abandonment
Of the dreams OF amateur statesmen.
1t is reported that the non -bolshe- :
Wiki and non socialists parties will try
to reassemble the constituent assembly
with view to appealing to the allies.
The Petrograd correspondent Of the
Daily Mail describes the attitude Of
the people as mostly one Of apathy
and fatalism. He says that a majority
would welcome the arrival OF the Ger
mans in the hope that they would re-
store order. the feeling being that any
ditions.
AS to the decision OF surrender to the
Germans accounts differ. Some say
that Premier Lenine and others that
Foreign Minister Trotzky were re-
sponsible for the capituiaton The
correspondent of the Daily News says
that Trotzky, who had been In favor
of fighting to the last. has unepected-
ly gone to the other side. This caused
indignation in his party and he prob
ably will resign.
The change OF the bolsheviki to one
OF surrender caused surprise among
their enemies and even their friends.
Whatever happens IT is regarded as
probable that the Germans will stif-
fen the peace terms offered at Brest-
Litovsk.
