GERMAN COUNTER ATTACKS CEASE
Officials Fear Refusal to Reply to
Armistice Note Would Be
| Misunderstood.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 —There
was a growing feeling in diplomatic
circles today that the proposal of the
Bolsheviki government of Russia for
a three months’ armistice should be
answered by the United States.
Refusal to answer the note for
warded by Ambassador Francis to the
State Department would be inter
preted in Russia to mean that the
United States dces not want peace,
and that the things the Bolsheviki
have said about this Government were
true. Thus the agitation for quitting
the war would gain support and the
Bolsheviki be intrenched.
. Russians who have the best interest
of this country at heart believe Presi
dent Wilson should make the position
of the United States clear in a note
addressed directly to the Russian peo
ple. Such a note could reiterate the
need for continued war against the
Kaiser if democracy is to continue in
existence and the Russians are to hold
their newly won freedom. In the opin
fon of many diplomats, this move
would undermine the power of the
Bolsheviki.
Reports that the entente Allies are
planning summary action with Russia
unless an end is put to the peace ac
tivities of the Bolsheviki were be
lieved by diplomats to have been in
spired by the Germans for the pur
pose of creating enmity in Russia to
the entente.
Russian Embassy officials believed
today that Maklakof, Russian Ambas
sador to France, would be a party to
the inter-allied conference at Paris.
That the Lenine Government in
Russia will conclude a separate peace
with Germany is believed now to be
a matter of days only. But officials
here today are in receipt of informa
tion indicating that such a peace will
not be accepted by the Rusisan people
and that the army as a whole will
stand out against desertion of Rus
sia’s allies.
Dispatches from Ambassador Fran
cis at Petrograd detailing the situa
tion there have been received, but
have not been made public. It is un
derstood he has reported the result
of the various conferences which
have been held betwen the Entente
diplomats in Petrograd.
It has been learned that a definite
progral.n has been arranged which
calls for insistence that the existing
government recognize the treaty
pledges of Russia and for a general
withdrawal should these pledges be
violated and a separate peace con
summated.
The demand by the Bolsheviki
Foreign Minister, L.eon Trotzky, that
the Russians, Chichirin and Petroff
held prisoners in England, be at once
releasea and sent back to Russia,
which was coupled by the threat
that if this is not done British sub
jects in Russia will be arrested, is
another serious complication, offi
cials said today. They declared that
this emphasizes the anti-Entente
sympathies of the Bolsheviki faction.
It is not belleved that United States
citizens or interests are in any dan
ger at this time, as the Bolsheviki
leaders still hope that they will be
furnished money and supplies de
spite the plain warning that Lieu
tenant Colonel William V. Judson, of
the military mission, has given out
that all aid will be withdrawn if ne
gotiations with Germany are con
tinued.

To Be Still in City
Although no further clew had
been found Wednesday as to the
whereabouts of Mrs. H. W. Finch,
of Kirkwood, and her 2-year-old
girl, who disappeared Saturday
and at first were thought to have
met death in the Chattahoochee
River, county po! c- were of the
opinion thatr the missing mother
and child are in or near Atlanta
alive and well.
Efforts were being made Wed
nesday to trace Mrs. Finch and
the baby girl from the river, fol
lowing the information of Tues
day that a bareheaded woman,
answering the description of Mrs,
Finch, and carrying a little girl in
her arms, had approached a Cobb
County fruit tree agent near Bol
ton and inquired the “best way
back to Atlanta.” It was believed
by the police that this woman
was Mrs. Finch, and that she
boarded a river trolley car for the
city at the 5-cent fare limit at
Fisher avenue.
Officers also sought to leam
whether & woman and child of the
description of the missing pair
had purchased a railroad ticket
out of the city. It was the pre
vailing belief, however, that they
are still here.
