ENTRY INTO PLOT ASKED Offer Made by Commander in East to Show Way to Cease Warfare Without Causing Rupture With Entente Allies. PETROGRAD. June 9. The Council of Soldiers and Workmen has made public the fact that the German commander-in-chief on the eastern front sent a wireless message Inviting; the Russian armies to a separate armistice and proposing- that they enter Into ecret pour parlers with the German leaders. The council denounces the proposals. In the telegram the council's an nouncement states the ' German com mander proposed to show the armies a way toward an honorable peace and a means of ceasing to wage war with out a rupture with the entente allies. Offer Made by Wireless. The council of the workers' and sol diers' delegates has In this connection addressed to the Russian army the fol lowing appeal: ' "The commander-in-chief of the Ger man armies on the eastern front has sent to our troops a wireless message (proposing to indicate to thera a way toward an honorable peace and a means for ceasing to wage war without a rupture with the allies. The German General talks this way because he knows that the Russian revolutionary troops would reject with Indignation any overt proposal for a separate peace. "That is why the enemy commander-in-chief invites our armies to a sepa rate armistice, and proposes that we should enter into secret pour parlers with the German military leaders on the eastern front. Atrutar Dented by Genu. "In his wireless telegram the Ger man General declares that a separate armistice does not offer Germany any advantage. But this is untrue, for, in speaking of the inactivity of the Ger man army on the Russian front, the German General forgets what Russia cannot forget, notably, the Russian de feat on the Stokhod. "The German General has forgotten that the Russian troops know whither the divisions and heavy batteries are being: taken from our front. The Ger man General has forgotten that we in Russia hear the sound of the bloody battles which are being fought' on the Franco-British front. He has forgotten that Russia knows that the overthrow of her allies would mean the overthrow of Russia and the end of her political liberty."
