 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-United States Senator Selden P. Spencer late to- day replied to President Wilson's denial that he had promised Ameri- can military assistance to Rumania and Serbia in event of invasion of those countries. The presidents de- nial was provoked by a recent ad, dress of MT. Spencer in which the senator, in effect, declared the pres ldent had made such a promise. The senator's reply in part follows:
 T beg to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of October 5 in which you deny that you promised Ameri- can military aid to Rumanians and Serbs and that the previous denial which MT. J. P. Tumulty has made was at your request. The statement of yours to which I have often re- ,ferred to in my address was the statement in the stenographic notes of the eighth plenary session of the peace conference in which you are reported to have said to Premier Bratianu of Rumania as follows:

SOVIET PEACE OFFER
NOT RECEIvEQ-H

State Department officials said today
they had not received any communi-
cation from the Russian soviet gov
ernment proposing peace" between
the United States and soviet Russia.
The State Department is not pre-
pared to indicate what disposition
would be made of such an offer. Be-
ing without any direct connection with
Moscow. the department is obliged to
sages that are thrown haphaZard into
the air by the Lenin government for
information as to the developments in
Russia, and, as these communications
are sifted through British. French and
other foreign capitals they are char
acterized by a certain vagueneSS and
lack of direction that does not conduce
to satisfactory exchanges.
1t is recalled that this is not the
first attempt of the soviet government
to entice other nations into negotia
tions. In fact. Lenin has been quoted
as declaring that he has consistently
held himself in readiness to max e
peace with any power with which
relations have been broken of at any
time. 1t was through such offers that
peace negotiations were begun with
Poland. Lithuania. Esthonia and other
states bordering on western Rus
sia. But the officials are at loss
to know just why in this latest eff
fort America has been associated with
Japan and Rumania.
The decision of the supreme council
in London not to extend any recogni-
tion at present to the soviet govern
ment. it is said here, does not of ne
cessity prevent the establishment of
trade relations with Russia. AT pres
ent exports from America to Russia
cannot be made without special Ii
censes. While the same rule governs
the United States has retained liberty
of individual action and may dispense
at any time with the requirements of
license. 1t is learned that no deci-
sion has Vet been reached to do this.

Of trade relations would in no case in
