Now, however, the delegates are to rro forward with their work, but lhe German are barred from participating participat-ing in all deliberations concerning the Russian question! This penalty was laid down in a note of censure to the Peril n delegation yesterday after con-s.lderatlon con-s.lderatlon of the situation by repre-sentatlves repre-sentatlves of the fle inxltlng powers and in tht- Uttie entente "Whilst the conference was sitting and whilst Germany was represented In the commission and sub-commission changed v. ith Hie negotiations of Buropeari peace viti.
