caused by the rupture of relations with
the Entente, and left Russia to her
fate"
The manifestants emphasize the dan
ger Of general peace at Russia's cx-
pcnse and declare that only the men,
bcrs Of the Constituent Assembly are
entitled to represent Russia and bring
about universal democratic peace

tcer army, cease civil war and proclaim

Some Points Presented for

sure on Either Group of
Belligerents

ROME. Jan. ID. - The "OsseIvatorc
Romano" again commenting on the
statements of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George, recalls tho i'm
partiality of the Holy Sec throughout
the conflict.
"Ccrtainly,' says the newspaper,
which is the Vatican organ, "the Holy
See saw with legitimate satisfaction
that President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George put as basis Of possible
peace negotiations and the future set
tlemcnt Of Europe those very points
contained in tho appeal Of the Holy
Father last August TO the heads Of the
belligercnt peoples.
"Thosc points were intended, not rs
articles for a concrete treaty of peace,
but as fundamental points for starting
negotiations"
Tho "Osservatoro Romano" continues
with n warning that the pleasure felt
by the Holy Sec in seeing harmony cx-
listing between the pontllical pro
posals and the Anglo American state
ments does not mean that The Vatican
will exercise any pressure on either
group Of bcllgerents with the view to
supporting their concrete propositions,
as this would mean violation Of the
principle Of impartiality.

Russian government against a neutral

country"
The Wolff Bureau report covers
nearly 5000 words, and shows that
the discussion concerning the date Of
the evacuation was broken Off, the
parties failing to agree. A long dis
cussion concerning which parts Of the
occupied territory should be evacuated
also resulted in disagreement.
prolonged debate arose over the
question Of admitting representatives
of Poland, Courland and Lithuania to
tho negotiations and on the question of
what constituted self determination by
these provinces. Tho discussion be-
came embittered, and the only result
was protest by General Hoffman,, Of
the German delegation, against the tone
Of the Russian delegation, which he
said "speaks as If 1t stood victorious In
our countries and could dictate condi-
tions."
General Hoffman, reminded the dele
gates that the Bolshevik authority, as
much as the German. was founded on
force. AZ instanced by what ho termed
the attempts to suppress the White
Russia and the Ukrainian attempts at
self determination. General Hoffman,
finally declared that the German su

evacuate Courland, Lithuania, Riga and
the islands in the Gulf of Riga.

Foreign Minister. then declared that
he must reserve further statement Of

IStnf Co1resn0ndcnccl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Ths gov
ernment has always considered estab-
fishing informal relations with the
BolShevlk governments Of Russ "a, it
was said authoritatively at the State
Department to-day, but has not yet ar
rived at decision. Recognition of the
Maximalist regime as the de facto au-
thority would precede full recognition,
and such a measure would not embar-
:ass the American government in max
ing future decisions.
The power of the Bolshevik adminis-
tratlon has become so strongly in
trenched and its control of the inter
national relations of Russia so secure
mat 1t was deemed a certainty to- day
that qualified recognition of it would
materializc at an early date. and nos-
sibly before the convening of the Con
stltuent Assembly, if the Bolshcviki
carry out their resolution to hold new
elections.
AT present not even informal rela-
tons exist between the two countries
as the Russian Embassy in WASHINGTON
is hctlon rather than a fact, and the
bolshevik government has no repre-
sentative here. The Maximalists have
appointed ambassadors or ministers to
London, Paris, Berne and Stockholm,
put SO far have not designated one for
Washington.
1t was believed at the State Depart
