Russia will not ugrcc to u pcn'Ee devised by German imperialists; she will fight "to the bitter end" and rely on the plain people of the Cen tral Powers to rise up and aid in international peace. Minister of Foreign Affairs Trotsky so declared in a speech at Brcst-Litovsk in the first of the renewed peace meetings, according to dispatches from that place today. As if to back up his vigorous words, Petrograd was in a fever of war preparations today. "Russia has no intention of Huing for mercy," Trotsky declared, "if the imperialists refuse to listen to the voice of the people. "If the Central Powers' democrats do not speak Russia will fight to the bitter end, not so much from the trenches as in an uprising of the people to interpose barricades at every step against their oppressors." Trotsky insisted upon tranffcr of the peace negotiations to Stockholm. Nicholai Lenine re-echoed his fel low Bolshevik's sentiments as to Russia's determination to fight for an adequate peace in 'an interview given out prior to his departure, pre sumably for Stockholm, today. "I fear we must halt our demobili sation and prepare for war," he de clared. "If Germany will not accept our conditions we shall declare a revolutionary war. Wc will not agree to a shameful peace." Here in Petrograd today there was a sudden display of great energy at the Ministry of War Offices, where it was admitted the Bolshevigi were seeking to reorganize tho transport of supplies, in view of the possi bility of the war continuing. The first step in demobilization of non essential army units, already under taken in part, was expected to lessen the pressure perceptibly on the transport of army supplies. Defense plans for Petrograd itself are being drawn. Guns' arc being shifted from the northern front. Ensign Krylenko, commander-in-chief of the army, ordered all his of ficers to return to posts at tho front which, they held prior to the Bolshe vik revolution.

I feel sure Governor Brumbaugh did not have me in mind when he made his statement on tho po litical situation." "I never expect to see a worse Governor than Brumbaugh," said United States Senator Penrose. "His indorsement of nny candi date would be a heavy burden. He is thoro i jlily discredited." With tho positivo withdrawal of Republican State Chairman William E.
