FIGHT TEUTONS ENTIRE RUSSIAN PEOPLE ARM TO RESIST INVADERS. Foreign Minister Trotzky Declares Maximalists Will Not Sutpitt Defeat of Revolution^ r ;. •' V • Bi'l* * 4 Petrograd, March 8.--The official neAvs agency announced that a supreme military council had been formed for defense of the country. The commis­ sioner for military uffairs has issued a decree ordering that the entire people be armed. Commenting upon the signing of the peace treaty, the Izvesta, organ of the workmen's and soldiers' deputies, says the purpose of the Lenlne government in agreeing to the German terms was to give a respite to the socialist revolu­ tion so as to enable It to reassemble its forces for the supreme struggle against imperialism and to assist the prole­ tariat of other European countries to revolt against its oppressors. The Pravda comments in a similar vein. The bolshevik leaders are prepared to withdraw even as far as to the Ural mountains rather than submit to the defeat of the revolution, said Leon Trotzky, bolshevik foreign minister, in an Interview with a correspondent. M. Trotzky said that If the bolshe­ vik! could go back to the state of af­ fairs which existed last October just' before they overthrew the Kerensky government they , would repeat the whole program which has been put through since that time. "In October we did not ex'dude the possibility of a holy war." he de­ clared. "Now we consider such a war possible. The workmen's and soldiers' delegates must now fight for organization and order."
