BASIS OF AGREEMENT
Note Sent Conserving to Terms Set

Memorandum.

bolshevik foreign minister, accepting
the principles laid down in the al
lied memorandum transmitted July 1
by the British government to M. Kras-
sin as the basis Of agreement between
Russia and Great Britain" is given
in a dispatch to the Herald from
Christiania.
The note sets forth the soviet gov
ernments belief that the plan pro-
posed will have to be considered as an
armistice between Russia and Great
Britain and shares the British gov
ernment's expectation that this
armistice will pave the way to def
mite peace"
''At the same time" adds the note,
the soviet government protests
against affirmation, contrary to the real
facts. relative to presumed attacks
by soviet Russia upon the British en-
pire. The soviet government empha-
sizes once more that she desires
nothing but peace with Great Britain
and that the absence of the same dis
position on the other side was the
only cause preventing it,"

that since the beginning of the
bubonic plague there have been
forty-five cases of the disease and
thirteen deaths Recently very few
cases have been reported, last week
there being three and this week up
to today but one.
The epidemic seems to have been

deaths occurring when no medicines
were available. Since medicines have
been received almost all those
stricken with the plague have re-
covered.
American destroyer No 345 has ar
rived here, her physician having in
structions to examine the blood Of
those attacked by the disease.
The warship brought a commission,

In recent weeks there have been
many cases of yellow and miasmatic

Jews are prepared to sacrifice their
