'Won't Recognize Bolsheviki.
Byi Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Ambas
sador Bakhmetfe'ff of Russia formally
notified the State Department today
that the embassy does not recognize
the authority of the extremists now
in control of the foreign office at
Petrograd. In a letter to Secretary
Lansing, following the resignation of
three of the chief officers of the em
bassy, to avoid having relations with
the Bolsheviki, the ambassador says
the Bolsheviki government was not
representative of the true will of the
Russian people and that he would not
recognize that or any similar govern
ment that would lead his country in
to non-participitation in the war.
The ambassador said he considered
himself duty bound to remain at his
post and would do so with a compet
ent staff of assistants. While express
ing the belief that the true spirit of
Russia was bound to rise, Bakhmetieff
said It was evident that until condi
tions changed, the embassy could not
exercise in frail measure its essential
duties and therefore had authorized
members of the embassy to find other
fields for applying themselves.
