RUSSIAN SITUATION.

PRESIDENT WILSON’S VIEWS. By .Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. New York, Jan. 23. President Wilson’s Note continues: *lt is obvious that the small border States will not attack Russia unless encouraged by promises of support from the stronger Powers. Without an attack from outside, the responsibility of any new war occurring on the Russian border would then be clearly placed. The President condemns the Bolsheviks, and reiterates his conviction that armed ifiVlsion would in no way bring peace to the people of Russia. He points out that the immediate of the trouble in Armenia and Turkey has been the Treaty of Sevres, and any measures which the President might take concerning the failure of certain factions to accept the treaty would be dependent upon the hearty support and co-operation of the Allied Powers.— Aua.-NX Cable Assn.
