The fear that the upshot of the present m'aneuvers for an armistice and universal peace will be an opening for Germany to convert Russia into a vast supply de pot. American government heads openly characterized the situation as se rious" and "very confused", -and said they would proceed very, slowly and. carefully in respect to the expected overtures on peace. What their an swer will be cannotet be judged. However, strong pressure is being brought on the Allies to make such a I revised statement of war aims, and revellation of any secret treaties as well inspire Russi-a to fight on not for imperialistic aims or selfish ag grandizement of any nation, but for making the earth a safer, happier spot in which to dwell, safe from the aggressions of Hohenzollernism. All hope that Kerensky and his pro visional government could be rein stated vanished with Bakhemeteff's dissolution of the embassy. In so do ing h'e confessed to the ruin of that regime, and and at the same time voiced his opinion that no good for Russia or for the world can come out of the Bolsheviki proposals. British officials here fear the Rus sian armv will soon starve and with morale thus battered will move back into the country for food.
