THE RUSSIAN SITUATION.

MARMORA CONFERENCE IMPOSSIBLE. FRENCH PRESS COMMENT. Paris, February IS, No decision was reached in regard to Russia either with respect to renewing the invitation on the lines of the Marmora Conference, or as to an alternative scheme. The French point of view is that something must be done to assist Russia, else she may fall under German domina tioa. It may be necessary to tighten the ring around her to prevent the wave of Bolshevism extending Paris, February 17. The Council will deal with the Russian situation this week. It is now clear that the Marmora Conference is impossible. The Council is interestedly watching the elections in German-Anstria, where the dominant party favours the inclusion of Germany. The French Press strongly opposes this solution, forseeing it to be greatly to the advantage of Ger many. GENERAL DENEKIN’S OFFENSIVE. A REMARKABLE SUCCESS.
