GERMANY ACCEPTS new TRUCE TERMS

IN PROPAGANDA
WAR ON YANKS
Say "War Over, Why
Stay In Russia ?"-
Men Seek Answer.

ArchangeI. Saturday, Feb Is
(By the Associated Press Since
Feb. II, the BOlsheviki have made
no attacks against the allied forces
on any sector of the Archangel
front Allied airplanes which are
continually aloft report that there
has been no new movements Of
troops behind the enemy lines
since the Bolshevik withdrawal
south from Sredmakrenga.
While the cessation of attacks
has been cOincidental with the Boil
sheviki offer to attend the Princess
islands peace conference, their Of
fensive was checked by the Amer
lean and allied troops. The allied
military leaders do not believe
that the BolsheViki acceptance OF
the invitation to the conference
caused the Bolsheviki inactivity or
the last few days.
Drop Gun for Propaganda.
The Bolsheviki are icreasing
their efforts to destroy the morale
of the new Russian COnscript
soldiers as well as Of the Amer
lean and British troops. Bolsheviki
propaganda, well written and
printed in English, has been dis
tributed mysteriously among the
various allied units. Leaflets dis
tributed in villages on the Oneiga
front where American forces are
operating, call upon the American
soldiers to organize soldiers COM
mittees and demand of the officers
that they be returned home as the
war with Germany is over and
there is no reason for remaining
in Russia.
Men Seek Answer.
While there has been no appre-
ciable effect because of the Bolshev-
Xxi propaganda. the allied soldiers
are looking forward to some state
ment as to what the allies intend
to do with the force here.
Reports of BolsheViki misconduct
after the occupation Of Shenkursk,
which are printed as facts in the
Archangel newspapers, have great
y stirred the population here and
Russians friendly TO the allies are
anXiously inquiring whether the al
lied force is to be Withdrawn or re-
tained here.
Report Allies to Withdraw.
Among the Shenkursk reports
printed is one that Mother Raphelia.
abbess of the large convent at
Shenkursk, has been executed by
the BOlsheViki. Reports received
by allied intelligence officers indi-
cate that Mother RapheIia has been
arrested, but there is no news Of
her alleged execution. Bolshevik
agents also are maintaining an ac-
tive propaganda in Archangel. One
of the Bolshevik reports now in cir
culation is that the allies plan to
withdraw and that the Bolsheviki
will soon have an army Of 10000
men.

BEING URGED
Discuss Next Step as Time
for Princes Island
Farley Expires

Paris, Feb. 17.-CBy the Asso-
ciated Press. Attention of the
delegates to the peace conference
will focus on Russia today, the su-
preme council having decided that,
as the time allowed for acceptance
of the invitation to the Prinkipo
conference has expired, something
else must be done.
Winston Spencer Churchill, of
Great Britain, has proposed that
the invitation be renewed and that
some of the conditions that made
the first invitation unacceptable tC
most of the different Russian fac
tions be omitted. If the supreme
council accepts this position as
seems possible, it probably will
not insist that the conference be
held at Prinkipo island. 1t is pos
sible that instead of a general
meeting of the representatives Of
Russian factions, direct negotia-
tions may be initiated, or commit
tees will be appointed to get into
touch with the opposing elements
there
1t is scarcely expected that
special committees OI iIe peace
conference, which are studying
questions confided to them will be
able to submit reports 20 the full
conference this week. but it is
hoped that some of these reports
will be ready for revision by the
supreme council. which is still
acting as medium between the
commissions and the conference.
Woman Representation Favored.
The committee of the inter
allied wOmen's suffrage congress
which has been interviewing
statesmen in search of support for
President Wilson's plan TO give
women representation in the con
ference and in the league of ma
tions has achieved a great success
in the estimation of its members.

and by Foreign Minister Hymaus
