PETROGRAD, Oct. 5.—“You can’t
write an article about peace in Rus
sia,” declared Sergius Shidlovsky, ex
vice president of the third imperial
duma and president of the bureau of
the progressive bloc as we paced the
long, hardwood floor of the duma
lobby.
“You can’t, because there is noth
ing to be said about it—one short,
sharp, emphatic word—NO!"
This sums up fairly well the atti
tude of the Russian people regarding
peace on any other basis than an al
lied victory. Two years of war wag
ed under trying circumstances finds
them more determined than ever.
They feel that they have just begun
to' fight because they are just now
getting organized for fighting.
Rumors of a separate peace with
Russia have been spread with consid
erable frequency. It has been said
that there is even a peace party here,
that a considerable element among
the population demands peace. I
have failed to discover such a party
or such an element.
“It is a German lie,” the president ,
of the duma, Mikhail Rodzianko said
when I told him that neutrals had
been informed more than once that
Russia might accept separate peace.
He did not say this in anger. Rather
he smiled. His attitude was consid
erably like that of Mark Twain who,
when informed of his own reported
demise, replied with a dry chuckle '•
that the report had been grossly ex- i
aggerated.
Rodzianko was emphatic but un
fretted. He appeared to know where- ,
of he spoke..
“Peace now would be the greatest .
blow ever suffered by Russia,” Shid- (
lovsky declared. “Perhaps our great
est benefit to be derived from the war
is our economic independence of ■
Germany. Peace at this juncture '
would fail to give us this. Economi- 1
cally Germany has exploited us for
long. She has peopled us the ‘hinter
land’ of Europe, peopled by Russian (
barbarians fit only to be her vassals i
and a source of profit. j i
“We have thrown off this yoke, i
The commercial treaty she imposed
during our war with Japan, more
beneficial to Germany than to us, no
longer binds. When peace and vic
tory come, Russia will hold the new 1
freedom she had won and develop
her own industries to the profit of
her own people. t
“These are some of the benefits of 1
war which Russia expects. Until Ger- (
many is beaten we cannot get them, i
Can you wonder that every Russian
says ‘No!’ when you mention peace ,
now?” I
“But the peasants—about 80 per j
cent of your population—are they for (
war?” I asked. The leader of the
biggest bloc, the controlling group in
the duma, replied with a satisfied s
smile: *
“They are, and they have every l
right to be. They were never more *
prosperous than now. Their spirit is
fine . You won’t find any class of <
people in Russia more optimistic than (
they.” (

owner and farmer himself. He
came direct from his plantation dow
near Moscow to take part in the
Duma proceedings, fresh from am- .
ong the countryfolk, the backbone of 1
Russia. To the president of the *
duma I put the question:
“What is the attitude of the peas- 1
ant towards the war?” t
“He is for continuing it until Rus- i
sia wins,” was the reply. “He knows a
what German domination means and
doesn’t want it.”
“American newspapers are report
ing lots of peace talk these days,” I
suggested. “What do you think of
it?”
“Seems mostly of German origin,”
President Rodzianko said. "Most of ^
it apears to come from Berlin through ^
your correspondents quoting German
officials. The rest to all appearances
is prepared by German agents in the *
United States.” c
“But all neutral countries are hear- c
:ng considerable about peace. 1 Do 1
you believe there is a movement on *
foot to bring about an early end to *
the war?” I queried.
“All I can say is this:” he answer- c
ed. “Any peace talk now is unfriend- (
' y to the allies, so I leave you to
'uess who is doing most of the talk- 1
ng. If it does the Germans any (
good, however, to talk peace, let them *
talk. It certainly does us no harm. '
3till this is no time for neutrals to *
ittempt to start negotiations.”
Here the presiding officer of Rus- 1
da’s representative body laughed *
;ood naturedly, adding: “And if the
