The new Kussian army commander-in-chief, General Krylenko, has made formal armistice proposals to the Ger man and Austrian supreme commands, according to word received here. No details were Riven, hnd it was not known whether Russians had been for mally received by German commanders or the armistice proffer had been trans mitted by .wireless. pirmouiiAij Nov -. I.enln'K peace proposals appeared today to liave started a dangcroui break In tho ktructure of the llolshevlkl Government. Kvcn the Uolshevlkt-domlwitcd Soviet showed dissatisfaction with the oners which Lenine nnd Trotsky had fathered. Deputy Kamlnerf suggested there he no proclama tion of peace unless the Germans promised not to withdraw their troops now on ltus sian fronts for use ugulnst the Allies on other lines. Other Soviet deputies openly r.-moiisttut'd that tho executive committed of the work men and soldiers delegates was not con suited by Lenine nor Trotsdty on the armls tlco plan. Hitter criticism wu voiced that dictatorial methods hhould havn been as sumed by Mich proclaimed of tho tulo of the people as Trotxky and Lenltif.

The Russian situation today is swiftly drifting Into a new phase, fraught with the utmost menace to the Allies. l'vldcnce has been unearthed Indicating that German agents are trying to do mole than to drive Russia Into a separate peace. They ale actually trylnc to alien Hussla as u po tential ally of the Central Powers, Just how far this German Influence ex tends Is not known, but there Is ample evldenco that the Bolsheviki leadership in Petrograd Is permeated by benttments that have been bought by German gold. For a Ionic time there huv been Insinua tions that Nlcholal Lenine Is friendly to Oermany. It was through the action of the German Government that Lenine, an exile In Switzerland, was able to return to Rus sia. To all outward appeal ances Germany has shown an apparent reluctance to enter Into negotiations with the Bolsheviki, indicat ing that the German general staff was doubtful of the Bolsheviki control over the army.
