they are most interested In certain
questions to be settled by the treaty
of peace.

Straits. We cannot but express sur
prise that Russia, the Ukraine and
Georgia, who are deeply interested in

the participation Of these three states

by the Allies, and we hope that the in
vitation will be addressed to them be-
