The cerrespondent says that al-

litical stage the Petrograd papers
express 110 fear on thee same.
Coant Witte's German proclivibies,
they say. are well known, and his
desire to see the war eome to an
early end is confined to a narrow
circle of his pent/nal friends,

She then asked a liable girl for an-
