Austro. German Air Squadron Pared Badly in Battle With the British and Italian Airmen, Losing Eleven Ma chimes in Attempt to Bomb Vene tian Plain Towns.

New York, Dec. 27.-Terms under which the Teutonic allies would be willing to make an immediate and general peace," have been known to the Russian delegates engaged in the peace pour parleys at Brest Litovsk The terms have been set forth ill an address by Count Czernin, the Aus tro- Hungarian foreign minister.
 As in previous Teutonic allied in timations of what will be required from the Germanic viewpoint to bring about a cessation of hostilities and eventual peace, the latest terms are hedged about by conditions which seemingly are insuperable from the standpoint of the United States and the entente allies.
 The basic principles of the peace terms of the Russian revolutionary masses-no anneXations and no in emnities-Count Czernin said he be- lieved could be made the basis of a general peace, but that the Teutonic allies could not bind themselves to these conditions unless a guarantee were given that Russia's allies would recognize and fulfill them.
 Notable omissions in the statement of Count Czefnin connected with the concrete demands of the United States. Great Britain and France as already made known are the ques- tions particularly of the rebuilding of Belgium and Serbia, the return of Alsace and Lorraine tO France and the oyerthrOw of the militaristic gov ernment in Germany and the forma- ton in it's place of government that can be believed-the latter demand as set forth by President Wilson in his address to congress calling for war with Austria-I1ungary.
 Pending the placing of Count Czelnin's proposals before Russia 's allies. the Russian delegates to the peace conference have asked for a ten-day recess in the negotiations at est-iLtoysk.
 Within the Russian empire fight ing between the revolutionary ele- ments continues at several points while the Bolsheviki troops at liar bin. Manchuria, have been defeated in battle by the Chinese, who cap tured the garrison. Apparently dis ,rustful of the Rumanians, Urkrain- ian forces who are opposed to the Bolsheyiki. have occupied several i+u- manian divisional headquarters on the battle front, disarming those of the Rumanians who offered resistance.
 An indication that things in Ger many are not going in accordance with the German governments de- sires is the report that more than 300 members of the German minority so- cialist party were arrested in numer- ous cities Christmas evening This branch of the socialists long has de- sired peace and refused to acqulesce in the governments war program
 Once again the Germans have en- deayored to break the French front on the Verdun sector, but again nave failed. TWO assaults delivered north of the Caurieres Wood resulted in the defeat of the enemy and the intlictlon of heavy casualties. The Germans at one point succeeded in penetrating French front line trench, but were immediately elected.
 On the northern Italian front there has been an abatement in the artii- lerv activity between the Asiago nlateau and at the Brenta river put ! inc intensive duels between the Bren'' ta and Piave continue
 The infantry forces of the bellig- erents are very inactive.
