I PROTEST TO BERLIN ENUMER-

RECENT TREATY.
Russia, Says the Message, Has Tak
en Every Measure to Fulfill
Treaty on Its Part.
Washington,, May 16. A copy of
the protest made by the soviet gov
ernment to the German ministry of
foreign affairs on April 6 against
I German aggressions, made public to-
day by the state department, shows
that the Russians gave notice of
their intention to mobilize "all the
necessary forces in order to secure
the freedom and independence of
the Russian republic which is now
nenaced beyond the limtis establish
ed by the Brest-Litovsk treaty."
"The Russian government," said
I -he message, "has

I way to secure for our people the
I chief aim of this treaty, a state

"But in reality no such state of
peace exists. In south of the Russian
republic there is a further advance
northwards by German troops and
detachments of Ukrainians. They are
advancing upon Kursky and Voron
ezh, territory undoubtedly greatly
Russian. They have crossed into
I the Crimean peninsula. That fron-
I self, and officially made known to
I us by the German government, has
been infringed bv German and TTk-
rainian troops. Simultaneously, in
the north of Finland, Russian mili
tary property is being seized by
White guard detachments operating
in agreement with German landing
detachments and under direct in
struction from German general staff.
"In order to fulfill the Brest trea-
ty wnich is the legal basis for the
ficially declared its readiness to open
negotiations with the Ukrainian cen
tral rada. No answer, however, has
come from this government which
is now directed by Germany. The
German government having likewise
proposed the question of a peace
