Germany has consented to negotiate
Immediately for an armistice "on all
the fronts Of the belligerent coun-
tries," according to Petrograd dis
patch reporting on the outcome of the
visit by Bolshevih military delega-
ton to the German lines on the Rus
sian front for negotiations with the
German military authorities.
The Bolshevih formula has been the
proposal of an armistice to all the
belligerents with view to the conc1u-
sion of general peace. The proposal
has fitted in well with the admitted
German desire for achievement OF
peace by agreement" as indicated in
the 1916 peace offer and in the Ger.
man reply to Pope Benedict's peace
note as well as in the Reichstag reso-
luton of last July.
The Entente governments and the
United States on the other hand have
shown no disposition to negotiate
while the free peoples of the world
continued to be menaced by a vast
military establishment, controlled by
an irresponsible government" in the
words of President Wilson's allusion

ply to the Pope The Bolsheviki armi.
stice propositions were submitted to
the embassies In Petrograd but SO far
as has appeared they have not been re-
piled to by the receptive government.
Whatever the ultimate results OF
these negotiations, 1t seems clear that
at present the Russian negotiators are
representative of only a fraction OF
Russia.
General Krylenko, nominal com.
mander in chief by Bolshevih decree

the German side for the parley, has
been unable to take over the actual

AS the British press toward Cam
brai from the west they encounter
more stubborn German resistance
Heavy fighting is in progress toward
Fontaine Notre Dame, less than three
miles from Cambria, and near the vii
lage of Bourbon, about one mile north
west of Fontaine.
Both these villages were occupied
by the British last week only to be
lost in the face OF strong German
counter.attacks. General Byng's men
however. are making progress against
the strongly reinforced enemy, from
whom more than 500 prisoners were
captured Tuesday.
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Tuesday Nov. 27.-Desper-
ate and saEguinary fighting has been
waged in and about Fontaine Notre
Dame since dawn today, when the
British again attacked the strongly
held village. Shortly after nine o'clock
it appeared that the assaulting infan
try had stormed its way through the
village IN the face of tremendous ma,
chine gun fire both from the houses
of the hamlet and from La Folie wood
to the southeast. Five hundred Ger
man prisoners were taken in the early
hours of the fighting.
Late this afternoon the Germans
hurried up two new divisions and
threw them in for counter attack
along the Fontaine Bourbon wood line
he fighting which followed in Fontaine
was even more bitter, if possible, than
that which occurred in the first rush
through the ruined hamlet. At latest
