purpose of negotiating an armlstice,
The arrangement for the discussion
followed a visit of representatives of
the Bolsheviki to the German military

slams to the German line and accepts
anee by the Germans of the proposi-
tior that was made 10 them.
While the negotiations are expected
to embrace an armistice ION all the
fronts of the belligerent Countries
1t Is certain that the entente allies
will give no heed to the overtures,
either of the Bolsheviki, who comprise
the radical section of the Russians
Who long have desired Russia to cease
fighting, or of the Germans. who for
even a greater period of time have
been endeavoring to put into opera
tion negotiations for peace that
would prove one for themselves and
their allies.
Russians Still Suspicious.
That the Bolsheviki leaders are dis
trustful of THE Germans, although
they have agreed to enter into nego-E
tiations for an armistice. is apparent
from the fact that Ensign Kdylenko,
the Bolsheviki commander In chief.

East and northeast of Ypres violent
artillery activity Is In progress, espe-
clally on the sector of Passchendaele
and 1t seems probable that another
big battle in this region is brewing.
Meanwhile the Italians continue to
hold their northern front between
the Brenta and tie Piave rivers
against the Austro- German forcel
who have been unable In repeated at
tacks to gain additional terrain.
Italians Shun Arrnistice.
An armistice in order that they
might bury their NUMEROUS dead has
been requested by the Austrians. but
owing to the lack of faith in their OPP
ponents the Italians refused the re-
quest.
Major General Maurice, chief di-

Italy has passed.
Jerusalem is within sight of the
British forces operating in Palestine.
