MALICIOUS ASSERTIONS
PROBLEMS BEING ENERGETICALLY ATTACKED. ' (Received November 5, 11 a.m.) WASHINGTON, 2nd November. The Russian Ambassador (Professor Bakhmefceff) states : "The assertions that Russia will quit the war are malicious. The Russians are now holding 147 enemy divisions. Only seven divisions of the enemy have been diverted to Italy." Mr. Lansing states: "The Russian Government is attacking its problems energetically, and is still animated by a strong determination to organise all the resources of the country for a wholehearted resistance and to carry the war to victorious completion. The' Allies are rendering Russia all possible assistance." The Treasury Department has extended a credit of 31 million dollars to Russia, making a total of 190 million dollars.
