resolution demanding referendum
to decide the future form of govern

resolution asking for the abdicat ton OF
the Grand Duchess and the creation OF a
republic was rejected. this demand has
been insietent on the part OF the people.
Just before Christmas of last year
the demand became so stroeg that It

APPEAL FOR RUSSIA
Polk Did Not Forvard 1t to
Delegates in Paris.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-Actine Secre-
fary OF State Polk cleared up the mystery
Today as to why the American peace
delegation in Paris did not know Of the
brltish Governments recent communlcl-
ion seeking to obtain truce in Russia
ana Russian representation al the peace
conference. Mr.. Polk explained frankly
mat he had received the communica ton
from the British Charge d'Affaires here,
but had not forwarded it 10 the American
delegation, as he assumed they would
obtain IL in Paris
Az explained in THE SUN's speci al
cable from Paris published to-day the
American peace delegates were entirely
unaware that any such proposal had
teen made by the British Government.
This Is interpreted 10 mean that this
matter has not been the subject of any
serious diplomatic discussions or diverg-
cnce OF views abroad, as otherwise the
Americans would undoubtedly have
known OF the document Mr.. Polk s
statement follows:
.''on January 3 the State Department
received from the British Charge
memorandum proposing that the Allies
and the United States call on all the
factions in Russia 10 suspend hostilities
pending the peace negotiations, and that
II the aforesaid Governments and parties
VIII Immediately suspend hos,ilitics on
all fronts for the duration of the peace
negotiations, even II they or any OF
Them should desire to send representa-
tives to Paris to discuss with the
great Powers conditions of a perma ent
settlement. the great Powers would be
prepared to enter on such discussion

the Russian question was one OF the
subjects for immediate attention there
1t would seem. however. from the re-
ports in the newspa peIs that no such
pfpposal was presented to the American
pace mission in Paris

derstood II, by newspaper man yes

posal had been made to have delegates
from the Bolsheviks attend the peace
conference. and reference was made TO

sden Mr. PichOn'S statement. | did not
connect the question with the proposal
referred to in the memorandum from the
British Charge. which had been recelv.d
