port of the Russian peace delegates
The' Bolsheviki aim, he adds, is a
world revolution of peace on their
own terms which they think will dis
credit the imperialists generally. The
correspondent continues:
"And it in the long run Russia is
driven to conclude a separate peace
on any other terms, I prophesy that
the Russian signatories to such a.
peace will not be Bolshevikl, but
members of opposition political par

further that considerable numbers of
Red Guard ere being sent to reinforce
the front and that other preparations
for defense are being made.
It is not clear from the dispatch of
the Dally News correspondent when
the meeting, which is said to have re

gotiations was held and there is a
possibility that the report refers to an
alleged rupture of negotiations sev

were adjourned.
"I have private and reliable infor

established beyond doubt the honesty
of purpose of the Bolsheviki," says
the correspondent, whose dispatch is
dated Tuesday. "The central powers
proceeded to make a more detailed
statement of terras, from which it ap
peared that they considered Poland,

defined themselves. They further
based their demands on the statement
of Ukraine that it would not recog

was not represented officially. They
demanded that they should keep gar
