WASHINGTON, June 26.-VoD
Kuehlmann's latest peace often
sive is regarded officially here like
its predecessor insincere and
unacceptable. Allied diplomats
used it as the test for further urg-
ings for Russian intervention. AS
predicted a few days ago by the
United Press this peace offensive
is intended to lay the ground work
for concessions in the west, provid-
ed Germany could have a free hand
in the east. This attempt to lay
the blame of starting the war on
Russia IS considered the founds.
ton for a drive to annex Russia by
Germany.
