PRO-GERMAN IN RUSSIA.
ATTACK ON BRITAIN. PROSECUTION URGED. A. and N.Z. Cable. PETROGRAD, Aug. 23. The Government is being urged to prosecute the leader of the extreme Radicals (M. Bulatzel), who has written a scurrilous article against Britain in connection with the statement of Mr. Asquith to the effect that those responsible for crimes against international law must be punished before Britain will resume relations with Germany. M. - Bulatzel, regarding Mr. Asquith's pronouncement as being directed against the Kaiser, penned a diatribe against Britain, who, he said, was planning a tribunal like that which passed the death sentence on Mary Queen of Scots and that which tried Joan of Arc. The article goes on to say: •'The British Army has advanced a fewhundred yards in two years, and the task of taking the Kaiser prisoner is presumably imposed upon Russia. The war, Mr- Asquith suggests, will not end when Russia is able to conclude an honourable peace, but when Russia has laid low the Hohenzollcrn dynasty."
M. Bulatzel practically advocates the making of a separate peace between Russia and Germany.
