London, Jan. 9.-President Will

policy. 1t is noted that the president
deals more sympathetically with the
bolsheviki than did the premier, but
it is pointed out that America has not
suffered from the Russian collapse as
western allies have. However, the
Westminster, Gazette welcomes Mr..
Wilson's careful, sympathetic Ian

misunderstanding which may have
arisen from other statements will be
removed by the language in which
the president adopts the Russian de-
mands as his own"

Amsterdam, Jan. "a number of
disabled German soldiers were invit-
ed on Monday to attend meeting sof
the Fathefland party, founded recent

the flow of chauvinist talk from the
annexationists, says the socialist or
gan, ,Vorwaerts, of Berlin. They
were not permitted to speak and a
stormy scene followed. One of the
speakers referred to disabled soldiers
as deserters who had left linden

per says, "were belabored with sticks
and abused by the heroic home war

TROTZKY DOUBTS

Question. Sincerity Of Eng
land Regarding Russia,

(By the Associated Press)

10y tno ASSOClateQ FF0bSl
London, Jan. 9.-Leon Trotz-
ky, the bolsheviki foreign minis
ter is convinced that the Entente
governments wish Germany to
make an advantageous separate
peace with Russia, so that Ger
many will agree more willingly
to surrender what the Allies
want in the west, according to
the Petrograd correspondent of
the Daily News.
Premier Lloyd George, the
correspondent assured Trotzky,
has never made such a state
ment, but the bolsheviki leader
was hard to convince. and said !:
''That is the allied policy" He
added that the attitude of the
bolsheviki would not be inf1uenc-
ed by the attitude of allied gov
ernments, but that of the allied
peoples.
Trotzky was asked what hope he
himself had Of general acceptable
peace. He replied that it was difi-
cult to say because the Germans had
not yet been offered chance to make
such a peace. but he was sure the
Germans must need 1t.
The Russian foreign minister
quoted German deserters as saying
that the Germans were unable to re-
move troops from the eastern front
in large units. They we're remov-
ing them one at q time and the men,
knowing where they were being sent,
jumped from the trains in attempts
to escape.
Asked what terms he actually
hoped to get, Trotzky refused to re-
ply and. said laughingly: @
"If we were really logical, we
would declare war on England now
for sake of India, Egypt, and Ire
land"
The Daily News correspondent pro-
tested that Great Britain made moth
ing out Of India, to which Trotzky re-
piled:
"Then give up being so altruistic.
You English are the most chauvin-
list nation on the earth without know
ing it,"
"a chauvinist is a term derived
from Nicholas Chauvin, a French sol
dier, whose demonstrative. attach
ment to Napoleon made him ridicu-
lous. The term has come to be used
to express wildly extravagant, vain
glorious or exaggerated patriotism;
or fretful, silly, childish exhibition
of feeling, which would resent a
