RUSSIANS LOOK
TO ALLIES FOR

Expect Concessions in Lloyd

"COUNCIL" IS DEFIANT
PETROGRAD. May 30.
Russia's soldiers believe in "no forced
annexations" and "no punitive in
demnities," according to resolutions
adopted today by a congress of dele
gates from the fronU
Interesting developments In the gen
eral current of pcaco talk nnd peace
feelers are predicted In dispatches from
I'etrograil today. Itussia expects that
Premier I.Ioyd George, of fJrent Rrltain,
wilt come closer toward tho policy of "no
forcible anncxatfons and no punitive In
demnities," announced by the Russian
Gocrnment as a deslralilo basis for re
vision of pcaco terms by tho Allies nnd
an effort to brlns about a peaco confer
ence. Lloyd Georce, It is expected, will
make somo concessions In this direction.
Petrograd believes that tho Allies will
soon send a note to Rubsla In reply to
her invitation for reconsideration of war
alms.
In the meanwhile, It Is becoming clear
that lit event of an unsatisfactory reply
by tho Allies, the Council of Workmen's
and Soldiers' Deputies Intends to force
tho issue. A statement published In tho,
official bulletin of the council points that
way. The statement asserts that revolu
tionary Russia will not acquiesce in con
tinuing tho war Indefinitely to repair
"historic Injustices," and says that to
do so would also necessitato the repair
of the "historic Injustices" committed by
the Allies, The council Insists that should
tho Allies fall to make a concerted effort
to bring the war to an end, responsibility
for Us continuation will fall upon them
as well as the Central Powers.
The German delegation1 to tho Socialist
peace conference at Stockholm has
reached Copenhagen. Scheldemann, leader
of the majority faction of the German So
cialists,, has been In conference with a
number 'of Swiss Internationalists In that
city. The German Socialists say they aro
in favor of the Russian peaco policy.
EXPECT LLOYD GEORGE
T OMAKE CONCESSIONS
PirTROGRAD, May 30.
That the Allied Powers will make con
cessions In the peace terms to be announced,
by Premier Lloyd-George of England Is
firmly believed In some quarters. It Is prob
able that the Kntente will soon serfd a noto
