Paris, April 3. The Russian soviet

"Then we will 'make good' and you
can recognize us if you care to."
Seperate Peaca Possible.
The Russians, it is understood, are
11'so willing to make a separate penr"
with the associated powers, tlmt is.
without including the new Hungarian
soviet government In the pin t. liy mak

meant withdrawal of nil allied force's
from Russia and cessation of participa

Odessa district.

declared, and slop propaganda woik in
other countries, applying his govern
mental machinery to purely national af
fairs, in which he expects to show it is
possible for a system to succeed in
which a rich man cannot get anything
merely because be is rich.
The Russians' attitude is that such
military operations as they are now
carrying on are in self defense. It is
know,,! that the peace conference is
riving consideration to the latest lc
porn from Kussia and is becoming im
pressed with accumulation of evidence

In view of the reports of serious food
conditions, as well as the spread of

of a Riisao-German alliance, the peace

whether the associated powers can af
