Around this lawfully constituted body as q

duced to rally in sufficient numbers to justify
the allies in extending it recognition as the
representative voice OF Russia, and give it
the support needed to establish it's authority

With that question settled, there is hope of

Berlin raucously proclaims that the an

in France is absurd. Berlin also proclaimed
that America would not enter the war; then,
that if it did enter It would not be able to

II it had troops in France they would not
fight, in all of which it has proved itself a
