The Press and Peace.
London, March 6.
The conclusion of peace with Russia has evoked po particular excitement in Berlin or elsewhere. The German press comments have Eitherto in no wise been unanimously jubilant The "Nord Deutche Allgemeine" thinks the most significant feature of the treaty is the evidence that Ger- many by her concessions worked only for peace by under standing and conciliation. "Vorworts" calls German So cialists to take up the fight to prevent the new neighbour- ing states being treated as subjugated. The "Muenchener Post' on the contrary declares that the proposals must be materially altered at the general conclusion of peace. This is also the view of the Dutch press, the Catholic "Tyd remarking that the treaty testifies to German bad faith. The "Vienca Press' rejoices over the new era in Europe. and considers the most important feature is that there is no common Anstro-Russian frontier. The Paris "Temps" says the duty of the Allies is to declare the treaty null and void.
The Government press declares that peace was signed in order to give the Revolution a respite for the reassembly of fresh forces to figh: Imperialism. It is announced that a Supreme Military. Council of Defence has been formed and
a decree orders the arming of the entire people.
