central powers informed the Russians
that they had power to negotiate only
the conditions OF an armistice. which
a Russian official communication calls

not possess such powers.
To Evacuate Moon Sound.

project for all armistice on all fronts
the principal points Of which were
the promise that the Austro-Germans
would not send forces from the cast
ern front to other fronts and that the
Germans should retire from the isl
ands around Moon sound. The Rus
SLAMS were handed a proposal for al
armistice on the eastern front. which

not consider the question in such {
manner because they were author
ized at present only TO negotiate witt
the Russian delegation in view O.
the absence o. Russia's allies from tht
conference. ..,
The first point regarding the pro
posed enemy armistice was the dura
ton OF the armisticc, which was frs
indicated as a fortnight to begin De

man delegates expressed their readi
ness to agree to prolongation to q
days. This term may automatically
