LONDON, February 25. The diplomatic correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says it is reported that a small Soviet mission has arrived secretly in PariSj and includes Admiral Behrens, who was M. Tchitcherin's naval adviser at Lausanne and Count Beckendorff, who recently were associated with negotiations between Moscow and Angora and Berlin and between Moscow and certain Baltic capitals. The Soviet hinted to the French unofficial promoters of a Franco-Bolshevik rapprochement tTiat a preliminary must be the excision of the Lausanne decision respecting "tfie Straits regime. The correspondent is of the opinion that, as this section is largely the work of Marshal Foch, General Weygand and Admiral Lacaze, the acquiescence of France would be inconceivable.
