Amsterdam. Dec. ia treaty be-,
tween Russia and Germany has been
formulated. according to an official
German statement received here to-
day. g& ~ ..sst:.s
The German announcement follows:
"On the part Of both sides the COM
ditions and draft of a treaty were nm
ally formulated in the plenary sitting
Friday. AS, however, the Russian dele
gates desired to obtain supplementary
instructions on some points from their
government, the general discussions
were postponed until Saturday"
This is the first intimation that tho
Russian and German delegates have
carried their deliberations further
than considerations Of an armisdce, al
though a Petrograd dispatch yesterday
quoted Leon Trotzky, Bolsheviki for
eign minister to the effect that IL an
armistice should be signed the Rus
4ian delegates would have the power
to enter into peace negotiations.
The formulation of q treaty would
be preceded by definite conclusion Of
peace and settlement of the terms. Il
is possible, however, that the word
treaty" as used in the Amsterdam
dispatch, is loose translation from
the German, and that the statement
refers to an armistics agreement. IA
