West were received here yesterday
with a feeling little short of amaze
ment. There is some doubt in some
quarters that Chancellor Won Hert-
ling will have the audacity to make
such a proposal, although the ru-
NOR that the move is contemplated
seems fairly well authenticated.
The reception that such proposal
will receive is obviously apparer
1t has met with it's answer in ad-
vance, so far as the United States is
concerned, in the Presidents note to
the Russian Congress of Soviets.
This note was cabled to all the cap
itals of the world and 1t is felt here
that it would be little short of eff
frontery on the part of Germany to
suggest in the face of Mr.. Wilson $
declaration, that the United States
and the Allies should agree to turn
over Russia to Germany to be dealt
with as the German military author
tiles might dictate.
There We're. as matter of fact,
two significant developments that
brought renewed hope to official
Washington with respect to the Rus
sian situation.
Hope i'm Postponcment
The announcement of the post
ponement until to-day of the Con-
gress of Soviets at Moscow dispelled
all doubt as to whether President
Wilson's note would arrive in time.
1t was felt that the leaders of the
Soviets have had plenty of oppor-
tunity to consider the message fully
before reading it to the congress.
The second development was the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-03-14

receipt here of cabled extracts from
a wide range of German newspapers
showing that the German people
place absolutely no. faith in the
treaty the Teutonic military author
tiles are attempting to force upon
the Russians.
Rarely have the German papers
peen so outspoken as in the present
instance. They not only regard the
RUSSIAN treaty as a great mistake,
but denounce the peace with Ru-
mania in even stronger terms.
The effect of these two treaties,
they realize, has been to shut off all
possibility of an early peace discus
sion with the Entente Powers and
the United States. This apparently
has brought about great feeling OF
depression in the Central Empires,
and reflects the point to which Ger
man hopes had been raised by the
peace speeches that We're in progress
when Germany. began her ruthless
march into Russia.

planes are substantially similar to
the British flying boats and are
equipped with two Liberty motors,
which provide approximately 700-

This is understood to be much in ex-

is expected to be proportionately bet
