Trotsky, Lennie and others of the Bolsheviki ring in Petrograd are wild ly striving by merciless persecution ,f elements opposed to them, to reach a separate peace with Gerdany be fore the deluge. A separate peace would mean the leginning of a Russia-wide civil war. Such was the story brought here today by a Maximalist courier, direct from Petrograd. He told tk United Press that the Russian nation is ris ing to stamp out the Bolsheviki. The Bolsheviki commissaries ; Na gin, Miliutin, Tarin, Lunacharsky, Mrs. Kolaxai and others have form ally resigned in protest" against ex itfsses of the Maximalist government. They assert in view of the Bolsheviki leaders violation of life, of liberty and of freedom of the press and speech, the nation is being stung to fury. Many provinces are almost ready t oust the Bolsheviki by force. The courier asserted that Lennie, Trotsky, and their ministers, Kamen rff ami Zimovneff, now formed a" vir isal Quadrumvirate of control. They ire desperately seeking to retain that tower by merciless persecution of ihe oldest ajvd most revered veterans f other revolutions. The two Maximalist leaders ' Pie ckaneff and Smiroff, it was asserted, iad been beaten by Bolsheviki emis iiries who attacked them on the pub k streets. ... - f The JaxjinalUt.raUtipaiATd authoritative reports had been re reived by his party leaders in Petro grad showing that free Russia would .never consent to a separate peace.
