A message received at the state de-| partment today from American Con- sul Summers, at Moscow, said the} president’s message was delivered two; days before the Soviets met. | Official expression here indicated that American and the allies expect! the action of the congress to have little direct bearing on the general} Russian situation.

Officials here do not profess know to what extent Germany plans to use her forces in policing the pro-| vinces Russia is compelled to relin- quish or how much farther German; troops may penetrate Russia itself.

The fact that only slightly more’ than half of the delegates expected to attend the con- gress were reported as voting also caused comment. The attitude of the American gov-. ernment toward any German move to- Ward-a general peace at the expense of Russia, is directly in line with the expression of Lord Kobert Cecil in the, house of commons Friday that even if such. a. proposal came from Germany it would not.be considered. jist. and sweaters were discarded by the men| for the first time since last summer, | while in the villages where they are} billeted and in the cantonments in the training area the camps were dec-| orated with rolls of bedding being giv-| {en an airing.

Word of the secretary's presence in France was spread rapidly by telephone from the bases to the furthermost outposts.
