RUSSIA SCOUTS RUMORS OF WAR . IN ROUMANIA Word Said to Be Awaited Regarding Opening of Peace Negotiations. DEMOBILIZATION IS ON? By LOUSE BRYANT, (Copyright, 1921, International News Service..' MOSCOW (By Wireless to Berlin), Jan. 12.—Reports current in continental Europe that soviet Russia is planning to go to war against Roumania in the spring were reiuted as false by officials of the soviet government today. It was stated at the foreign office that word is being awaited from Bucharest as to the time and place for the opening of peace negotiations. According to this statement Russia is prepared to enter into a peace agreement with Roumania & a satisfactory agreement can be reached. At the war office it was said that part of the regular army is being demobilized. For purposes of demobilization, however, it has been necessary to carry out extensive troop movements. The transportation of these troops, it was pointed out, may have given rise to reports that Russia is mobilizing Instead of demobilizing. -SMALLER, BUT STRONGER.” Leon Trotski, people's commissar for war, announced that it is the lntentio of the soviet to make the Russian ari "smaller, but stronger.” All poss’ units will be restored to private !.•, but the men who are kept under arms will be subject to intensive training and stern discipline. “The Russians are not going to make the same mistake they did before the war with Poland.” Trotski said. “At that time we formed a labor army and were not ready to meet the Polish attack. Now we are going to try to live In peace with our neighbors, but If soviet Russia is attacked we will be ready to strike back and strike back hard. It is obvious that every one in Russia wishes peace. A war of aggression against a foreign power is j something that no one in Russia can consider.” The progrnm of the soviet Is to maintain one of the finest armies in Europe, an army comparable In strength and discipline to the well-trained military machine maintained by Germany I before the war. Government officials emphasize, however, that this army will be kept for self-defense only. DECLARE REPORTS AK.E ‘FAKED.’ Officials of the soviet claim that the Bolshevist newspaper, Pravda, Is being counterfeited and that ‘fake’ copies containing war-like speeches by Lenin and Trotski, are being printed and dis-
