sunday next has been set by tho
Germans as the date for a conference
with the Boshevki leaders. for tho
purpose OF negotiating an armistice.
The arrangement for the discussion /
followed Il visit of representatives OF
the Bolsheviki to the German military
authorities on the Teuton side of the
fighting front in Russia. The Germans
apparently gave quick acquicscencc to
the proposals of the Russians for an
armis;ice looking TO an ultimate peace.
for only few hours interviewed be-
tween the visit Of the Russians to the
German line and acceptance by the
Germans OF the proposition made to
them.
While the negotiations are expected
10 embrace an armistce on all the
fronts OF the belligerent countries, 1t is
certain that the entente allies will give
no heed to the overtures. either of tho
Bolsheviki, who comprise the radical
section or the Russians. who long have
desired Russia to cease fighting or
OF the Germans. who for even u greater
period of time have been endeavorlng
TO put into operation negotiations for
n peace that would prove "A suitable
one for themselves and their allies.

fact that Ensign Krylcnko. the Boz
Sheviki commander-in- chief. has or.
dercd. pending the conferences that
there shall be no fratcrniZng on tho
part OF the Russians with the Germans.
