London, Dec. &c. - There have
been occasional assertions In recent
Petrograd dispatches that the in
hue and power of the Bolsheviki
was waning. but never with such
unanimity as in dispatches dated
from the Russian capital Sunday and
printed to-day. Nearly all make the
point in one form or other that de-
lection from the Workmen's and Sol
diers' organization is drawing con-
stantly. Among the causes alleged
are general lack of authority the in
crease in drunkenness, the reluctance
of the population to work and the
scarcits of foodstuffs. The main
desire of the soldiers is said to be
for peace.
The correspondents cite instances

Rome, Dec. 26.-CoI Del Rosso
and Monte Val Bella, on the Asiago
plateau, were recaptured by Italian
forces in a counterattack yesterday,
but it was found impossible to hold
them, the War Office announced to-
day.
Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Tuesday, Dec. 25.-
general commanding an Army
corps on the Piave front took the
correspondent along the line occu-
pied by his corps today and pointed
out the Austro- German nest on the
west bank of the river which is the
only foothold he has succeeded in
maintaining.
The main purpose of the Italian
commander was to carry q holiday
greeting to his men in the first line
trenches, but incidentally this visit
to the extreme front gave an oppor-
tunity for the general to eXploin
the lay of the land and why the
enemy was finding himself able to
hang on.
AS the party moved forward it was
noted that the defenses had been
highly organized so that any sudden
rush of the enemy would meet tre-
mendous resistance.
TrOtzky Protests
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki for
eign minister, has protested to the
Germans against the .transference Of
troops from the eastern front but
also has ordered Russian factories to
stop the manufacture of munitions.
He did not indicate whether his gov
ernment would take any other step
against German violation of the
armistice.
Peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk apparently are making little
progress. The Germans have de-
layed their answer 20 the BolSheVikf
terms and it is reported the confer
ence will be transferred to Stock
holm shortly. In the meantime the
majority party in the constituent as
sembly, the Social ReVolutionists has
convoked the assembly to meet jan
uary 2, despite Bolsheviki disapprov-
al.
German Savagery
German savagery has been called
officially to the attention of the
American troops in France, An
American sentry has been found
with his throat cut and an official
bulletin says "he must have been so
killed after capture" by force of
Germans which surprised him. In
formation of enemy terrorism in
driving women and children from
their homes in the occupied sections
of France and Belgium to make
room for German troops, soldiers
and war material also has been CIV
en- the American troops.
Germans Break Agreement
While heir guns lombard the
western front, the Germans are TAX
ing troops from the eastern front
for use elsewhere despite the provi-
sion of the Russo-German armistice
prohibiting such action. The artil-
iery activity in France has been
moderate over most of the front and
more violent on the right bank of
the Meuse, northeast of Verdun, the
scene of the German attack nearly
two years ago.
German infantry has not. been ac-
tive and it is probable that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg is waiting
