Associated Press Summary.)

Sunday next has been set by the Germans as the date of a conference with the Bolsheviki leaders for the purpose of negotiating an armistice. The arrangement for the discussion followed visit of representatives of the Bolsheviki to the German mili- tary authorities on the Teuton side of the fighting front in Russia. The Germans apparently gave quick ac- quiescence to the proposal of Russians forw an armistice looking to an ulti- mate peace, for only few hours in- tervened between the visit of the Rus sians to the German line and the ac- ceptance by the Germans of the proposition that was made to them. While the negotiations are expected to embrace an armistice on all the fronts of the belligerent countries, it is cer- tain 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 an even greater time have been endeavoring to put into operations negotiations for peace that would prove suitable for themselves and their allies.
 Russians Distrustful.
 That the Bolsheviki leaders are dis trustful of the Germans, altho they have agreed to enter into negotiations for an armistice, is apparent from the fact that Ensign Krylenko, the Bol- sheviki commander-in- chief, has or dered, pending the conference, that there shall be no fraternizing on the part of the Russians with the Ger mans, and advised vigilance and cau- tion by the troops.
 Meanwhile the great interallied con- ference was convened in Paris, and doubtless will discuss all phases of the tangled situation in Russia, and some method agreed upon to bring the dis affectio nto an end, and permit of the Russian army taking up the gage of battle again, or of putting the Bol- sheviki element in the category of an ally of the central powers. Artillery Activity. On the fighting front in Northern France, the battle between the British and the Germans for points of vant- age around Cambrai continued turnout Tuesday night, but on Wednesday died
 
 The Germans have brought up largo endorsements, and the fighting for Bourbon village, the Bourbon wood and Fontaine Notre Dame was waged with great bitterness, the position several times changing hands. East and northeast of Ypres violent artillery activity is in progress especially on the sector of Passchendaele, and it seems probable that another big battle in this region is brewing.
 To the south, in the region of St. Quentin, north of the Aisne, and in the vicinity of Verdun, there have been small infantry operations, with the advantage resting with the French troops.
 No Faith in Enemy.
 The Italians continue to hold ten- aciously to their northern front be- tween the Brenta and Piave rivers against the Austro- German forces, who have been unable in repeated at tacks to gain additional terrain. An armistice in order that they might bury their numerous dead has been re- quested by the Austrians, but owing to lack of faith in the enmy's inten- tions, the Italians refused to grant it.
 Mai. General Maurice, chief direc- tor of military operations at the Brit ish war office, upon whose statement much importance is placed, announces that the crisis in Italy has passed.
 Jerusalem in Sight.
 Jerusalem is within sight of the British forces operating in Palestine, but the Turks in force have been gath- orod ahout the citv and if if not im- probable that great battle will have to be fought for it's possession. To meet the emergency the British are hurriedly bringing additional men, guns and supplies.
 Twenty-one British merchantmen were sunk by mines or submarines last week. four more than the aggregate that was sent to the bottom the pre- vious week.
