WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Conclusiou
of peace, through the acceptance by
Germany Of the armisticc terms, with
the last of the enemy coalition, will not
bring all hostilities to an end. The
Allied and American forces in Russia
it was declared on excellent authority
to- day, will not be withdrawn from that
country until all the assistance in The
power Of the Allies and America shall
have been given, to the end that order
and stable government may be estab-
lished there.
The Bolsheviki are regarded by the
United States and the Allies as dan
gerous outlaws, constituting an inter
, national menace which must be sup
pressed, but the prime consideration is
that the Russian nation is not in SYM
pathy with the Maximalist regime and
desires deliverance from 1t, and that
Russia requires the friendly aid of the
Allies and America to free it from Boil
shevism, which has been an instrument
in the hands of Germany.
One of the conditions of the armistice
offered to Germany, in the opinion of
Russian diplomats here, ought to be
and probably is the requirement that
all German soldiers, including those
serving in the ranks and as officers of
the Red Guard, shall be withdrawn
from Russia. Compliance with such q
condition would virtually disrupt the
Bolshevik military organization, which
has depended upon German military in
telligence for leadership and direction
Need Baltic Sea Ports
Occupation by the Allies of Baltic
Sea ports and Of the Aland Islands and
of Russian Black Sea ports would pre-
sent to the Allies bases for the render
ing of more effective and direct assist
ancc to Russia, and would precipitate,
it is confidently believed by Russians
here, the complete downfall of the Le-
nlne-l rotzky tyranny. s.n
1t was learned from an unimpeach4 .
able diplomatic source to-day that the
Allied powers are not agreed upon the
treatment Russia will receive at the
peace conference, and that the deter
mination of questions affecting that
nation offers great difficulties; first, be-
cause of the collapse of Russia at q
critical moment in the life of the En-
the apparent desire OF several distinct
nationalities in Russia to erect them
selves and their territories into indie
pendent states.
The question of questions, however,
which has not yet been determined, is
the Constantinople problem. Russia
will claim the city, together with the
Dardanelles and the islands off the
Strait, in the peace conference, urging
that the peace of Brest-Litovsk was
not between Russia and the Central
Empires, but between the Bolshevik
| traitors and tho enemy, which the Rus
sian nation, on account of its prostra-
tion, due to the demands of the war,
literally met by Russia, was powerless
to resist, setting up in evidence of the
truth of this declaration Russia's sac
rifces in the war and her achievements
before her collapse.
The following statement was obtained
to-day from an Allied diplomat:
"The presence in Russia of an ever
increasing number of representatives
of the Allied nations, and the fact that
they are there to give the Russian peo-
pie assistance, are assurances that or
der is to be restored and national
government reestablished in Russia.
Certain Cure Expected
ut will still take some time before
the Bolshevik madness is completely
cured, but the Russian people are
bound to cure it, and Russia will come

but better by reason of it. Otherwise
she might truthfully assert that when
she was strong, her associates in the
war accepted all her sacrifices; but
when she herself needed help, they de-
serted her.
Speaking of territorial considera-
tions, great changes are to be made in
the map Of Europe, and it is the opin-
ion of responsible persons in all the
Allied countries that Russia should be
given an outlet to the southern seas,
which is indispensable to her future
development and to her very life
