NO ANNEXATION Or

OFFER To RUSSIA
Huns Claim That SeIf-Defini-

cable in Setting Forth Their
ermS

PETROGRAD, Wednesday, Dec 10
According TO pres sreports Russia has
been Informed by the central powers
that they intend to make peace pro-
peSals TO the allies
This report is published in the Eve
ming Post which says the representa-
tles OF the central powers, at the nrst
preliminary peace conference with the
Russians held yesterdya. announced that
their governments intended on principle
10 nut the question OF peace before all
the powers and that they had asked their
allies to do likewise. Russia was re-
auested 10 take similar steps. II is
stated the Russians are endeavoring by
all means to sound the allies.
The Evening Post says the Germans
have officially informed Bolsheviki head
quarters that the central powers are
ready to consider the arrangement OF
peace on the basis of no annexations
and no indemnities. but pointed out that
seIf-dehnition of nations was imprac-
t.cable.
The representatives Of the central
powers informed the Russians they were
ready to discuss peace preliminsries,
hut desired to know the result of Rus
sia's efT6rts to induce the allies to join
in the negotiations before proceeding
with them. They said this point OF
view might be changed, however. and
that they might be willing to discuss
nezce with Russia alone. The Germans
we're OF the opinion that the Russian
srnsstice might influence the other
fronts
The first conference was devoted mere
IS to a discussion Of who would par
ffcipzte in the negotiations.
