LONDON, Dec. -.
Gcmany is trying to persuade the RUS
sian people that only the Miles now
stand in the way of peace.
Peace terms announced today by
Count Czernin, Austro- Hungarian Prime
Minister, to the Brest-Litovsk confer
ence, pledged the Central Powers ap-
parent adherence to the principle of no
annexations and no indemnties"
only on condition that England and her
Allies agree to this same policy.
Continuing. the terms seemingly con-
cede to Russian demands on other peace
aims But the stipulation that Russia
must secure the Allies adoption Of all
Germany's principles, as London official
dom saw it today. was for the obvious
purpose of attempting to convince the
Russians that only the Allies were hold
ing up restoration Of peace.
The Austro- Hungarian minister sus-
gested that withdrawal of troops from
occupied regions could be arranged In a
peace treaty in event of failure OF agree
ment on certain points before it was
signed"
DEMAND RETURN OF COLONIES
"The return of the German colonies
taken by force constitutes an essential
part of German demands from which
we will never desist," he continued The
Russian demands for evacuation OF oc.
cupied territory corresponds TO GER

of the burlington system. The prac-

FIVE "ZEPS" PROBABLY
DESTROYED BY FRENCH

Ofhcial cablegrams received in Wash
ington indicate that probably five Yep
pelins were destroyed when a fleet re-,
turning from England became lost and
new over French soil Saturday morn
ing. All were of the new type. from 234
to 244 meters in length, carrying seven
to nine engines. with from 800 to 1000
horsepower.
Summing up the extent of the dis
aster to the German air feet the report
says that Germany altogether has con-
structed probably 100 ZeppeIins. of
which sixteen were destroyed before
the war The losses officially reported by
the allies were six in 1914 sixteen in
1915. twenty-five for 1916 and three for
1917. During 1917 very little use was
made Of the Zeprelins until this last
raid on London
Thus the minimun of sixty-six Zep-
pelins have been aosolutel, DESTROYED
to which must be added half dozen
more lost by accident and in experi-
mental trials. Deducting machines
loaned to Bulgaria. Germany now has
on the western front only TWENTY-FIVE
super-Zeppelins. The greatest air feet
concentrated against England in Bel
gium and northern Germany has never
amounted to more than sixteen Zep-
