"'Ihc refusal of the august congress

Foes "MesSenger' Plan
Is Pussling to Allies
Paris WonderS What Germans
Hoped TO accomplish BY
Sending "Group" Of Enroys

pARlS. April al.-rhe decision OF
the German government TO send AK
"high pcrsonagea" 60 Versailles for
the peace negotiations has given rise
TO interesting speculation concerning
what thu Germans hoped to accom-
phsh with their first chosea group
of "mosscnsers,"
Tho odigiual determination OF the
German Foreign ONlcc was based
upon mIsapprchcnsiou Of the pro
grammc for the lmual mVotng Of the
German plenipotcuuarios with the
representatives OF the poacn confer
encc. 1t had been understood through
prcss statements that ut tho FIRST
meeting the German delegates would
merely be haudcd The text of the
treaty, but would not be permitted
20 discuss i,s terms. and would be sent
back to Germany to confer with the
government and the national assem-
bly,, returning after u stipulated inter
val to Versailles for the actual dis
cussions.
Under the circumstances. as Count
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, the Foreign
Minister, explained to The Associated
Press, the German government consid-
cred it unnecessary to send the entire
peace delegation-m more than one hun
dred. headed by six plcnipotentiaries
10 Versailles merely to receive the draft
and return to Berlin with it, and
would, therefore, send smaller dele
cation and later proceed to Versailles
for the actual discussions and the sig
nature of the treaty.
The German government then for
mally inquired through the armistice
commission regarding the programme.
and on the basis of the reply seemingly
determined upon the despatch of the
smaller delegation.
Meanwhile, however, the plans and
programme Of the council Of four for
discussions with the Germans had been
altered in no small degree, apparently.
on account of the fact that it was
found a physical impossibility since
the instructions to appear on April %
were sent to the German delegates to
have the actual text of the proposed
treaty ready by that date This would
necessitate communicating the deter
limitations of the Allied and associated
governments to certain extent in
outline, or in less formal shape than
the definite text.
For this purpose the presence Of the
plenipotentiaries charged with the
peace negotiations was imperative,
quite apart from the point OF prestige
that plenipotentiaries of the Allied
and associated powers could only meet
with German representatives Of equal
rank and dignity Furthermore. it is
planned to have such limited discus
sion of the peace proposals as Presi-
dent Wilson and his associates are
prepared to admit, notably of the
modes of payment of the sums which
have been eXacted as reparations and
explanations of any points in the long
complicated drafts OF the treaty pro
visos, which the German delegates may
seek to begin with, without await
ing the action of the government al
Weimar, the text of the treaty and diff
iicult points as they arise being in the
meantime communicated to Weimar.

Petrograd Worbmen Revolt


WASHINGTON, April 21.--Revolt of
workmen in Petrograd was reported to-
dav in advices to the State Department
from the Russian frontier. The
workmens organization in that city,
the adviccs said, adopted resolutions
last Friday demanding the reestab-
lishment of the constituent assembly,
the freedom Of the press and the right
to private ownership of property
That this action is regarded by the
Soviet government as q serious defec-
ton from its ranks s indicated by the
fact that the Bolsheviki have found 1T
necessary, in order to repress dis
orders among these workmen, to recall
the Nolga international battalions.
Propaganda Fund Raised
Bolshevik statistics, the dispatches
said, show that 500,000,000 rubles have
been set aside for propaganda work
in foreign countries. 1t is said the
Bolsheviki propose TO send this htera-
ture by boat through the Baltic and
into Finland through Lake Ladoga
when navigation opens.
Peasant uprising continues in Sim
blrsk and Olonets provinces, the dis
patches add Pontoon bridges are
being constructed across the Neva,
ten kilometres above Petrograd SO
that in case the ninth Bolshevik army
on the Finnish frontier has TO retreat
the troops may avoid Petrograd and
reach the Nicolai Railway at Obughovo,
a station ten versts southeast Of Petro-
grad.

have rctaken Zhitomir and Proskurov

to a wireless dispatch received here
from Tarnopol.
1t would appear that Petlura 5 plan,
which he forecast some time ago to
The Associated Press, of cutting be-
hind The Bolsheviki advancing into
Bessarabia and toward Odessa, is sue
cceding. 1t is stated that he brought
about the dlsaifection Of the Bolshevik
soldiers partly by lighting and partly
! by persuasion
This was made easy, it is reported,
since the Bolsheviki executed 600 peas
ants during their brief occupation Of
Zhitomir,

relates TO events prior to the reported
surrender TO retMra Of the LIST Rol-
shevik Army, operating along tho rri-
pet River. London dispatches dntcd
