On the fighting fronts. even in Italy, the activity of the troops is below normal In France and Belgium the fighting that is in progress is merely in the nature of outpost encounters and bombardments, while on the northern Italian front the enemy has lost the initiative, which is entirely in the hands of General DiaZ's men. The situation on the Italian front is not expected long to remain as it is. However, gor the Austro- Germans are constantly bringing up heavy rein forcernents and a return to their of- fensive, which has in view the gaining of the Venetian plains. is to be ex- pected The enemy is faced by a hard task to accomplish his aims, for 1t is a different army that he must meet than that which retreated from the Esonzo.
 Reinforced by British and French troops and newly equipped in every department the Italians now are pre- pared to sell, and at dear price, every inch of ground that the Austro- Ger mans may take.

Peace negotiations between the Teu- tonic allies and the Russians have be- gun at Brest Litovsk, and apparently the enemy has played a trump card at the, outset for on the proposal Of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, the Ger man commander in chief on the Rus sian. front, Dr. Won Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary and an as- tute politician has been chosen unan- imously as official chairman.
 A noteworthy fact in the compost ton of the delegations from the vari- ous countries allied with the Austro- Germans is that they include men who have stood high in the councils of their respective countries. while the men who are to handle Russia's in terests for the most part are unknown in world politics.
 Still another outstanding fact in the nieagre details of the formation of the conference that thus far have come through is that Rumania is not cred ited with having sent delegates to Rrest Ilitovsk. The possibility is, therefore that Rumania has decided to hold aloof from discussing a sep arate peace, notwithstanding the fact that geographically she will be com pletely isola ted from her allies should the negotiations result in Russia quit ting the war.
