[For public statement issued by the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs (Tereshchenko) on May 6/19, 1917, declaring that he would work for an early general peace “without annexations or indemnities,” but including a “realization of their ideal” for the people of Alsace-Lorraine, that there is no question of a separate peace, that publication of the secret treaties would be untimely, and that Russia must continue to defend herself in the field, see enclosure in despatch No. 760, May 21, 1917 (received June 26), from the Ambassador in Russia, Foreign Relations, 1918, Russia, Volume I, page 75.]
