Petrograd, Dec. 2S.-German del

conference were reported today as
having privately agreed to pie
bosite to determine the future dis
position of Alsace- Lorraine.
Such a concession was not for
mally made in the announcement
of terms as outlined by Count
Zzernin and the declaration that It
had been covered in private con-
ferences, was regarded here as
further evidence of a favorable
step toward general peace.
The central powers reply in gen.
eral caused good impression
here. Some observers declared il
the Bolsheviki convened the con-
stituent assembly at this moment,
their peacae aspirations would
probably be supported by ma jor-
ity of this body-and this despite
the fact that the Bolsheviki party
is in a. minority there.
Admission of 10 revolutionary
Socialists to the Bolsheviki gov

BOLSHENIkI PLANS
.TOPLACE PROGRAM
BEFORE THE ALLIES.
Russian Regime Hopes to
Secure r ecogn'i ii o n
Through Peace Maneuver
Scheme Doomed.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Washington, Dec. 29.-American au-
thorities expect that Russia or Ger
many will make definite move to get
the st-Litoysk peace proposals Of
ficially before the United States and
the allies.
II 1t comes from Russia 1t will prob
ably be open and dispatched through
the diplomats at Petrograd. II It comes
from Germany. neutral envoy will
doubtless be selected and the overtures
will be SO presented as to permit Ger
many to deny them when they become
known.
PURCHASES OF RUSSIA.
If Russia. as indicated. attempts to
put the peace program before the allies
she will have two purposes:
FIRST TO AID GERMANY IN
GETTING A GENERAL RATHER
THAN A SEPARATE PEACE; AND
SECOND, TO PLACE THE ALLIES
IN A SITIoN WHERE, SHE
HOPES, AN ANSWER CARRYING
RECOGNITION OF THE BOLSHE-
WIKI WILL BE MADE.
In either case, the maneuver Is
doomed to fall.
States have definitely disposed of any
Russian or German hope for Ger
man peace at this time. Official ut
terances in all three nations show
clearly that they are determined to
fight on until Hohen zollernism is
scotched.
NO RECOGNITION NOW.
As for recognition of the Bolshe-
Wiki. that Is entirely out of the question
now. The United States has carefully
refrained from any utterance or action
which would give ground for that re-
gime to be considered even a defacto
government and it is banking on a
reaction or revolution which will sweep
of power.
Officials today enlarged upon theic
previous expressions rejecting the
Brest- Litovsk peace program.
Germany, they said, is trying to re-
store the status quo anita thing in
compatible with future world peace.
She Is using the catch phrase no an
neXations, no indemnities," as bait
using 1t, as President Wilson pointed
out, insincerely and to her own ends
without in the least caring about pro-
lection of the future against German
barbarity and aggression.
BULGARIA A SNAG.
Incidentally Germany's mo annex
atoms, no indemnities" program struck
a new anag today when Bulgarian Min
lister Panaretoff declared Bulgaria
Germany's ally-will never surrender
territory occupied in the war unless
she Is forcibly compelled to do SO.
Restoration of Dobrudja and Mace
donia cannot be deemed annexation

cling to her war aims.
