CENTRALNI ODBOR.

Petrovich, Ludvik Benedik, Frank Veranit.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-17

the American people, and first of all
the laboring and exploited classes in
the United States, for the message
sent by President Wilson to the Con-
gfess OF Soviets, in this time when
the Russian Socialist Soviet Republic
IS living through most difficult trials.
"Ihe Russian Republic uses the oc-
caslon OF the message from Presi-
dent Wilson to express to all peoples
who are dying and suffering from the
horrors Of this imperialistic war it's
warm sympathy and firm conviction
that the happy time is near when
the laborlng masses in all BOURGEOIS
countries will throw off the capital.
lst yoke and establish a socialist state
OF society, which is the only one
capable of assuring permanent and
Juse peace, as we'll as the culture and
we'll being of all who toll"
Meet in Mobility Club"
The congress is being held in the
splendid banquet hall Of the Nobility
Club, where former emperors often
were entertained. Soldiers, sailors and
peasants formed majority of the
l;lo4 delegates present. NJ. Sverdloff,
Chairman of the Central Executive
1cmmlttee of the Congress, presided.
Inc Bolshevik members number 1872
and there are 30 Social Revolutionists
of the Left.
Premier Lenine made the principal
speech and received great ovation.
he reviewed the history of the revolu
tion and emphasized the necessity of
signing peace treaty. NJ. Tchitcherin,
the acting foreign minister, read the
peace terms. 1t was decided that peace
should be considered first and after
that the permanent removal of the
capital from Pctrograd and the cleo
ton Of new central executive com
mittec.
Strong forces Of guards were about
tEe hall, but there were no attempts at
disorder. Moscow is quiet, Bolshevik
control apparently being absolute
The newspapers awaited the publica-
ton of President Wilson's message
eagerly and generally commend the
disposition of the United States to re-
frain from joining in any plan to dis
member Russia.
A caucus of the Bolsheviki, while
favoring a signing of the German
peace treaty, has resolved to approve
the course of the peace delegation of
the Council of Peoples Commissaries.
The caucus also condemns the German
peace terms, and declared it was neces-
sary to restore order and organize for
defence.

Accurate Fire Has Forced
Curious to Keep
Heads Down
(By Tic Associated rress)


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 13.-Active artillery
firing continues on the American sec
tors northwest of Toul and east of
Lunevillc. A considerable number of
gas shells have been falling intermit-
tently on the Toul front
An enemy patrol was discovered this
morning in the American wire entan-
clements northwest of Toul. The Ger
mans were driven off with rife fire
and a number of them were hit. One
body was left hanging in the wire.
American snipers have been very
busy on both sectors. East of Lune-
vile six enemy snipers were silenced
by the Americans. On the Toul front
during last night and to-day consid-
cradle talking. and even singing, was
heard within the enemy lines.
Several times the Germans stuck
their heads over the parapets to see
what the Americans were doing Each
time bullet from an American rife
went in the direction of the head.
After several of their number were
hit. the Germans stopped looking.
AT one place last night an American
sentry saw a figure Sinking through
the darkness. The man halted when
challenged and was found to be a Ger
man prisoner who had escaped and
was trying to get back to his own
lines. He was turned over TO the
French authorities.
The place where the German was
captured was not far from where an
American one-pounder was busy firing
on a large nest of enemy snipers who
had been annoying our lines. After
several shots, the Germans withdrew
The American artillery in the Toul
sector again battered the German lines
and observation posts and caused an
explosion, probably of an ammunition
dump. Hundreds of big shells were
sent into three new German trenches
where weapons resembling gas pro-
jectors had been erected
The visibility was poor to-day, but
many alrplanes were up.
1t is believed certain that the Ger
mans have permanently abandoned
trenches to the northeast of Badon-
villers, near Luneville. The enemy is
now hurling quantities of large shells,
some Of twelve inches, at our positions
there

Bolsheviki Vote to Form
Army of Men and Women

MOSCOW, March 16.-The All-Rus
sian Congress of Soviets has ratified
the peace agreement with Germany by
large majority.
A Bolshevik resolution approving the
acts of the government of the Work
mems and Soldiers Delegates and OF
the peace delegation and calling for or
ganization of the defence of the coun-
try by the creation of a national army
Of both sexes was passed after Lenine'
plea for restoration of peace among the
warning factions and his statement that
this action was the only way out, init
mating that the treaty might be broken
under changed circumstances.
The opposition, notably the social
revolutionarics of the Left made a
valiant, though vain, effort to prevent
the acceptance of the treaty, which was
characterized by the Minister of JUS
tice as being "anti-revolutionary and
Social Revolutionary party repudiated
the responsibility for the acceptance of
the peace treaty, would resign from the
government and devote all of it's power
and influence to the organization of
armed resistance to German imperial
ism.
A Petrograd dispatch dated Thurs
day and published yesterday said the
congress had ratified the peace
treaty by vote of 453 to so. This
probably either was a premature
statement or garbled version of the
action of the Bolshevik party dele
gates in deciding to vote for ratif-
cation.
A London dispatch dated March Is
transmitted a Petrograd dispatch of
the day before which stated that the
BolsheviE caucus at Moscow voted
453 to 80 to support the treaty. 1t
appears now that both these tele-
grams referred to the same incident
and were sent before the whole con-
gress had taken action on the
treaty.]
Wilson's Note Applauded

MOSCOW, March ID (Delayed).-
President Wilson's message of SYM
pathy to the Russian people was re-
ceivcd with marked applause when it
was read tonight at the opening ses-
sion of the All-Russian Congress of

adopted resolution of appreciation.
The resolution reads:

the plan Of shifting officers would
progress until all of General Pershng' S
staff corps members were returned to
Washington and their places filled by
members Of the staff corps here.
The exchange Of officers will not ex-
tend TO the brigader generals in charge
Of the five sections of the General Staff
from colonel downward will be affected
in the switch.
"The scheme is to have available
in Washington for staff corps duty
officers who have been in close and
intimate touch with the overseas forces
and what they require" General March
explained. "The transfer of the Off
GERS longest on duty with General
Pershng to Washington and the as
signing OF officers Of the staff now
here will enable US to have Il general
staff here and there working in close
harmony. The plan also will give the
officers here who have desired service
in France an opportunity Of going to
France. Wei! get team work this
way"
General March indicated that Off
GERS injured in action may later be
utilized for staff corps assignments.
