cerns the President
By Associated Press
London, Dec. 20. The London
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian suggests that President

come to England is due to his de-
I sire to consult the British govern
i rnent regarding the Russian situa
tion before the preliminaries to the
| peace conference. The correspond
ent points to the presence in London
,of former Premier Kcrensky and
! Paul N. Milukoff, former Russian
i foreign minister and leader of the
! constitutional democrats. He also
1 calls attention in this connection to
I Wednesday's statement by Viscount
iMilner, the secretary for war, on the
| Russian situation, which he says was
J "evidently intended to prepare the
j public for events to come."
"Rumors of an advanced policy
' against Russia are growing dally,"
the correspondent continues, "and
I feeling not only in labor quarters
i but in commercial quarters, too, has
i become very tense about our next
adventure in Russia. The impetus

| Munich, Dec. 20.—General Counl
Max Montgelas, who was recalled
' from Switzerland -to enter the Ba
ivarlan cabinet on November 21 and
[.who has been referred to by French
j newspapers as the "second Llchnow
! sky," because of his revelations of
j conditions prevailing In Germany
l.early In the war, has published an
j open letter to President Wilson, In
j which he says:
j "In these decisive weeks the eyes
j of all tlye world are upon you. Above
all, the eyes of the German people In
the present difficult crisis, are watch
ing you ♦ • • we do not beg,
we do not want forgiveness, but Vant
Justice."
"We do not sayy Pharisaically that
one of us is guiltier than the other.
We do not separate ourselves in these
days of suffering from any of our
countrymen, high or low. We want
to bear in common a portion Tif the
blame devolving upon our people In
this world catastrophe.
"Each of us who knows your coun
try kqows well that proud conscious
American nation beneath the 'Star;
Spangled Banner' and honors it. We j
disdain to blame others, but we ex
pect, Mr. President, that you will, de- !
spite all opposition, achieve success'
with the principles you laid dows. j
We are building upon the words you |
spoke at Washington's grave, when
you said that every arbitrary power,
regardles of what side it appears
upon, must be destroyed or con
demned to impoteney. We are build
ing upon the word of impartial Jus
tice, which knows no difference as
to those to be Judged. We are con
fident that you want to create a
league of equality between nations.
In which each people may freely
breathe and work and prosper spir
itually.
"You know better than I what the
German spirit has given your great
people. You know the world can do
without this spirit less than ever aft
er it has been freed from the bonds
of militarism. If our expectations are
deceived, we shall not cease fight
ing on for the attainments of better
days. Your message Is hopeful, but
we must be afraid that not all the
Allies will listen to your words. You
have power, and you have a duty to
perform."
