Thomas, French Minister and Belgian and Italian representatives. Sir Robert Buchanan made an eloquent. and powerful appeal for some warlike action on the part of Russia. He said if the Germans had not transferred large numbers of troops westward it might have gone very hard with a free Russia. '‘ We look to you now," said the British Ambassador, “to help to relieve the constant pressure on our front by taking the offensive and bring the war to a speedy end." He uttered a warning as to the Utopian fallacy of a peace obtainable by fraternising with the enemy, which had been encouraged by the Germans in order to demoralise Russia. “There was nothing in our policy,” he added “ incongruous with the policy of *no annexations, and no indemnities.’”
