At a Conference between the delegates appointed on either aide the Russians suggested a general armistice, including the interdiction of the transfer of enemy troops from the Bussian to other fronts and the retire ment of the Germans from the Moon Islands. As wea only to be expected, these proposals were promptly rejected, and, in their stend, an armistice from the Baltic to the Black Sea was offered. Thus carly the Russian representatives are complaining of receiving evasive replies to their inquiries and there is little doubt that, before the proceedings are at an end, their simple and child like faith
in Germany will receive a zude shock Whatever exalted and altruistic ideas they may entertain they will find that Germany is intensely practical and that her conception of a democr pesce is very different from their own.
