The Boshevh have surrendered Russia far as they
can do so to the Germans and the atters terms
remains to be if the rest of the Russian people will
stand for the tratorous betrayal of their country by
only small percentage Of its people Of course they
not in condition to fight just now but they refuse to
accept the terms of the German made peace, and to
organize against the enemy into whose power they
so basey betrayed The result of peace talk in Russia
should be example enough to deter the balance of the
world from nduging in it..
The treaty of peace as agreed upon was considered
just "a scrap of paper" by the Germans and illustrates
the utter falacy Of undertaking to make peace with
government that tells you in advance that it will not
keep it's most solemn promises.

 He prophesied that immediately on the declaration of peace it would be possible to begin an air service be- tween Marseilles and London with a single stop at Paris for an overhaul and taking on gasoline. MT. Page continued:
 "Constantinople could be reached in 20 hours, Rome in 12 1-2 hours, and Marseilles eight" he said.
 "An 800-mile service could be run at a profit, both for mails and pas sengers. at a rate but little in ex- cess of that at present in force. "I base my calculations on the use of medium-sized machine making non-top flights of 400 miles. Each would carry 4,4OO pounds of revenue earning load. There would be first class aerodromes at each end of the route, and another in the middle Second-class aerodromes would be provided every 100 miles.
