Former High Official Declares
She will Soon Be Back
I. Fighting For Allies

New York, April 20.-Russia, tenn
porarily out of the ranks of the flight
ers for freedom and democracy is
beginning to reassert herself and will
soon come back into the ranks, A. A.
Boubhkov, former commissaire of the
duma and minister of communication
in Russia, declared here today.
~"Speaking. as a Russian citizen and
in the name of a country which has
had eight million casualties in the war
against Prussianism, l can assure you
that Russia, at heart, is still with
you," Boublikov declared.
GIN spite of the German peace
concluded in the name of Russia by
a group of political Adventures, the
overwhelming majority of Russian peo-
pie are still with you, the allied de-
mocracies and their cause.
"This period of idisore Enization
cannot last much longer and as soon
as Russia re-asserts herself, she will
come back into your ranks-again a
fighting power for the cause of free
DOM"
Russia's financial collapse was the
cause of her present disorganizatiOn
Boublikov stated. "Prior to the war
there was only about one billion and
a half rubles worth of paper money;
at the March revolution eight billions;
at the bolsheviki revolt eighteen bill
ionsions and at present twenty eight
billions in script. This excessive issue
caused prices to soar thirty to fifty
fold. Then bankruptcy in the rear Grip

front. The Germans and bolsheviki did

"The essence of President Wilson's S

ACTION ON WEST
FRONT TO GO ON
DURING WINTER
Americans Plan for Steady
Hammering Against Enemy
Positions-No Winter Rest
Possible.
tBy Associated Press,

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, Oct. %.
Unless they are saved by their plea
for peace, the Germans will be sub
jected to steady hammering along the
greater part of the western front
throughout the winter. Indications are
that it is not intended to give them
breathing spell, notwithstanding the
weather conditions. 1t is pointed out
that decreased activity would enable
the Germans to recuperate to such q
degree as to make certain a prolonga-
ton Of the war. During previous win
ters the enemy has been able to rest
up his forces and replace his supplys,
especially ammunition, and there Is
no reason to believe he would not
avail himself of the same opportunity
now and to much greater advan-
tage.
There are two places on the front
where it is conceded that military op-
erations during the winter will be
virtually impossible, but American Of
ficers insist that seventy-five per cent
of the front offers no real obstacle
to continuance of the fighting. 1t
is not questioned that operations will
be slowed down, but even SO, the ad-
vantage will be with the attacking side
especially since 1t is known that the
materials OF the Germans is growing
scarcer
Last winter was much more severe
than is ordinarily the case and those
responsible for plans of campaign cal
culate that, by the law of averages,
the coming winter will be milder. 1t
is indicated that the Americans are
settled indefinitely into their present
positions and their part in the general
progra mis- well defined.
U. S. Gains Menacing.
1t is to be expected that they will
continue to deliver short smashing
jolts against the pivotal centre of the
long sweeping line. The big gains
made between the American front and
the sea are conceded to have been due
in large masure to the menacing de-
monstration by the Americans and by
the enforced employment by the Ger
mans of thirty divisions here. The
enemy will be compelled to continue
to mass forces of men and materials
in front of General Pershing's troops
at the expense of other places, be-
cause to fail to hold the line between
the Meuse and Grand Pre- would en-
danger an enormous area.
The spirit of the Americans is un-
broken by the determined opposition
Of the Germans and both officers and
men, speak confidently of the day
when they will break through to the
vital connecting road extending west
wardly through Stenay. Daily coun-
ter-attacks by the Germans reflect the
desperate character of their defense.
Rugged wooded hills which serve as
natural aids are supplemented by the
most elaborately prepared series of
defense on the western front. Around
the big arc the lines of resistance con-
verge as they approach Verdun. In
front of the Americans, they are al
most within rifle shot of each other.

retreat, but will remain where they

outcome of the latest conferences at

-.
+ COPENHAGEN, Oct 22-Peace con
versations between Berlin and Wash
ington have reached critical point,
according to Prince Max. the German
imperial chancellor, speaking before
the Reichstag yesterday. In the
course of his address, he urged that
debate on the situation arising on the
exchange of notes between himself
and President Wilson be restricted as
much as possible.
''The whole German people is anx-
ious to hear the views of the govern
ment regarding the prospects of
peace" he said, "but I am able to
speak only with the greatest reserve
and urge that the members of the
reichstag limit debate, as is consistent
with the seriousness of the hour. The
whole German people have been
spoken to by President Wilson and
this fact gives the utterances of the
representatives of all parties added
force"
To-day, therefore. am going to say
only this regarding the international
situation: The presidents first ans
wer to the peace move of the German
government has in all countries
brought the questions of peace of
justice or a peace of violence to the
highest point" he continued
President Wilson's last note did
not make clear to the German people
how this public agita tion will end.
His answer will perhaps bring defi-
mite centainty. Until then, we must
in all our thoughts and in our actions
prepare for both eventualities-first
that the enemy governments are anx-
ious for war, in which case there is
no choice for us but to put ourselves
in a posture of defense with all the
strength of our people driven to the
last extremity"
