The Germans it was said explained
their willingness to evacuate all
White Russian territory but announc.
ed flat refusal to withdraw from
Riga and other big cities except in
the event OF general peace.
/ The scheme as the Russian dele
gates saw it was the further intention
OF the German government to keep
great bodies of troops in these regions
as provided under sections Of the
proposed agreement so that the PEG
pie could vote on their future govern
ment.
Under such a system of German
garrisons the Russians felt that there
would be entirely too much German
influence exerted on the voters,

Amsterdam. March S.-A notion
that Mormon missionaries from
America have been corrupting the
German soldier and seeking to tempt
him to desertion is propagated by this
Lutheran Church Consistory for the
province Of Pomerania, which accord
ing to the Kreuz Zeitung has sent the
following circular letter to the local
district clergy:
I'VE are given to understand by the
that various anti-war sects
have arisen in eastern Prussia which
make it their business to induce sol-
diers to desert and which furnish such
deserters with opportunities to hide
from the law. One Of these sects calls
itself variously, the New sAdventists''
or War Adventists." They believe
that Holy Writ commands them to aA-
sist those who object to military serw-
ice. s5; '.s s 5y,, q

Russian revolutionary troops have
struck back at the Germans who de-
clined to halt their advance when
peace was agreed to and have taken
hamburg, 68 miles south-southwest of
Petrograd, from the invaders. jam
burg is a railroad town on the Luga
river and the Germans had moved
there from Narya to straighten out
their line southwark toward Pskov

Differences between Ensign krylen-
ko, commander of the Bolshevik
armies and the peoples commissaries
are reported to have led to the resig-
nation of Krylenko, who recently had

central powers. This is the first split
among the men who have composed
the Bolshevik government. although
there have been reports from time to

or both, would resign.
