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."
JTRIAIi OF EX-CZAR DEMANDED

ing in Russia.
PETROGRAD, via London,' June 9.

. proximate and Discrepancy Does

2,508,624.
Many Alreadx in Service.

census figures were intended only as
approximate and that the discrepancy

sion of the draft. It was also pointed
out that between 600,000 and 1,000.000
men included in the estimate already
are members of the armed forces of
the Nation and therefore did not reg
ister.

totals. Delays in registering, especial
ly among those who registered by mail.

may delay a final tabulation for a week
