CROIX STATION. | Moscow, May 13th.—While thcusands . of demonstraters marched through the . streets on Saturday, hanging effigies of " Lord Curzon, and erying, “‘down with . war”’, M. Tchitcherin and M. Trotsky, . the Soviet leadeis, speaking at a great mass meeting of che Mouscow Sovizt, declared that Russia’s roply to the British ultimatum would be an effut tq avoid a break in the relations, if possible. ‘‘We offer England a con- ference’’, said M. Tehitcherin, "‘urging Russia to actin such a menper as not to yield to provoeation, so that if a break comes the responsibiiity wiil not be Russia’s.”’” ‘‘We shall not utter a word to bamper negotiationz,”” said War Minister Trotsky, and will by il means try to keep peace, but if war e¢smes, the Red Army is ready.” M. Tehitch®rin, Cressed in the uniform of the Red Army and wearing a "‘Red decoration,”” was the chief spezker at the meeting held in a theatre. The theatre was crowded ic tine doors, while in the streeis thou- gands listened to speakers f{rom motor iorries and bzleonies all of whoem made reference 1o what they termed tne '‘war threat against Ruossia’”’ in the British note: the assassination of M. Vorovsky at Lansanne and other recent internation- -2] developrents. Referring to M Yorov- cky M. Teaiteherin saiid, This is a symp- tomn of the general European s'tuation. The direa® responsibiiity rests with (n 2 Swiss Govt. which took no preventive me:sures, while the moral resnsusibility is oa England, Franes and ltaly, who originallv invited the Russian deleation to .ausanne. Regardine the Pritishno o whieh he characterized as insolent, M. Tehiteherin said: *"We are getting tele- grams that British warships are aiveady in the White Sea, perbaps by rnow thev have vpened hostilities against our ships. The note eropt2ing false faers and mes- sages improperly deciphered, but we must reyly calmly and firm!y. Kussia will pot vield to provocation and act in a manner bringing sbame upon furselves, Russia will not go back a single step before the demands, we therefore offer a conference. We are raadv to discuss the losses sustained by Britizh eitizens in 1920, but we will render a Lill to Enzland for al! those [Enoiland shot durine hes interven ion in the Norta. We desire peace ard do not want to break, but we will wait until the ememy attacks us.”’ The Foreign Minister ,was fillowed by M. Trotsky the War Minister, who told the cheering throng that Russia wanted peace, but the Red army was ready if neeessary. London, May 14th.—In cfiicial circles the reply of the Russian Soviet Govern- ment te t! e British note is considered as avoiding & rupture. Satisfaction is ex- pressed a‘ what the British consider an about face on the part of Moscow in its attitude torwards Great Britain. Loid Curzon will present the Soviet note to the Cabinet this afternoon. The ncie probably will be issued to the vress this evening. \Yhile the Government is ready to discuss the disputed matters with Leonid Krassin, or any other ace credited envoy, Lord Curzon seems de- termined to maintain al! the points raiscel ia the British note and will not ‘clerate
