All authors of excesses would be ruthlessly punished.

BRITISH POLICY IN RUSSIA,
London, Sept 19 Beuter is officially informed that there is no new deve lopment or change of police towards Russia. This remains exactly as announced by Mr. Churchill ·
With reference to the conflict of testimony as to the Supreme Council's decision regarding Buses the “Daly News" is semi-officially informed that Mr. Lloyd George's intention was to submit to the Council the British decision to evacuate Russia. The British delegates point out that the question is ons purely for the British Government to decide as the burden of all present operations in Russia is borns by Great Britain "
Paris, Sept. 19.
In the Chamber during the debate on the Peace Treaty the Socialist Deputy," M. Longnet, asserted that Mr. Bullit (mentioned on 17th September) took to Hussia the proposals of peace drafted by Mr. Lloyd George. These were accepted by the Russians and brought back to Paris.
M. Clemencesu, interrupting, "To whom were they delivered? I never had any knowledge of the matter. It Mr. Lloyd George really made proposals of peace he never, said a word thereanent either to me or to the Peace Confer
ence.
M. Longuet replied that he was sure of his facts. He had many interviews at that time with the noble American officers Steffens and Bulitt:
The counter-proposals of the Russians provided for " cassation of hostilities, an amnesty, end of the blockade, re-establishment of commercial relations, the recall of the Allied troops and recognition of the debts of the old Empire.
M. Longuet asked what reply France made to the counter proposals brought back by Messrs. Steffens and Bullitt.
M. Renandel asked was it possible that the Govern ment was ignorant of the proposals long published in the press or had not questioned the British and American Governments on the subjeët?
V. Clemenceau replied "I spent the truth; neither Mr. Lloyd George nor President Wilson ever said to me a word on such a peace." M. Longuet asserted that Me. Lloyd George at that time declared that the counter-pro- posals were perfectly acceptable. but in view of the cam- paign by the Conservatives in Britain he refused to com- plete the negotiations. Now the British communique stated that the Council approved of the British policy of evacua- tion. He, M. Longuet, wanted to know France's policy towards Russia.
Paris, Sept. 19.
After a discussion by the Council of Fire on Monday with reference to Rumania, Serbia and Fiume, Mr. Lloyd George was about to leave the Conference Chamber when he remarked to his colleagues, "What about the Russian question I think you agree with me that we have had enough of the Russian expedition. I think we had better let the Russians alone to look after their own affairs." His colleagues presumably did not realise the importance of the question
The British statement was issued shortly thereafter that the operations in Russia had been carried out by Bri tish troops and therefore withdrawal chiefly Britain.

Archangel, Sept. 15.
The evacuation of the front is proceeding as smoothly az is consistent with the really formidable difficulties. So far there have been no casualties and it is fairly sale to prophesy that there will be mone. The Britishers at inter vals carry out small raids on the Bolsheviks.. Therefore they never know we are going till we are well away. Lots of troops are ready to sail at Archangel, but there is a short- age of shipping. The boats which have gone were packed with thousands of civilians.
