STARS TOBACCO FUND
INCREASES STEADILY

A penny a day means kit OF to-
bacco month for one of our soldiers
on the fighting front. Every family
in Ocala can afford to give this mite
toward the comfort of the boys who
are fighting for them in France.
Just think of the comfort that our
boys can get out of kit of Smokes"
such as the Star is sending to the
soldiers at the cost of only 25 cents
considerable less than the wholesale
price of the goods right here in Ocala.
The Red Cross takes charge of
these kits of smoking material and
distributes them; the French govern
ment sends back the postal bearing
a one cent U. S. stamp and admits the
tobacco free of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization
as the Red Cross Society and as pre-
occupied officials as those of the
French government will do these
things to see that our soldiers get a
chance to smoke it isn't asking much
to ask you to set aside one cent day
for the purpose.
Send in your contribution of any
amount-25 cents, 81, $5-or more.
For every 25 cents that you give a
separate postal bearing your name
goes to the front.

eOLSHEvlkl ABLE TO SEND
TROOPS AGAINST kALEDiNES

LONDON, Dec. c0.-Peace negotia-
tions between Russia and the Central
Powers. m armistice having been
reached, are assuming an aspect Of
importance. DIR. Van Kuehlmann, the
German for1i&n secretary, and Coss1t
Czerntn, the Austrian Hungarian for.
eign minister. are both said to be on
their way to Brest-Litovsk, being &C.
companied by advisory suits from var.
ious government departments.
1t is also indicated from Berlin that
the Main Committee of the Reichstag
will be summoned to meet IN special
SESSION in connection with these nego-
tiations and some German newspapers
interpret this as showing that the will
of the peoples representatives is about
to assert itself
Another result Of the armistice is
that Ensign Krylenko. the Bolsheviki
commander-in-chief has been able to
move divisions from the northern
front against General Kaledines, who
is reported to be gaining new sue
cesses. There is no direct confrma-
tion Of the report that former premier
Kerensky is in the vicinity Of Petro-
grad with an army
Meanwhile, the Bolsheviki admins
tration is adopting drastic methods
against its opponents, including the
reinstatement Of the death penalty.
A dispatch from Tammerfors, Fin
land. says that the Russian troops are
preparing to evacuate Finland, their
transportation already having been
arranged.

TERMS
ARE RECEIVED

WASHINGTON Dec. 20.-What pur-
ports to be an outline of the kaiser's
much advertised Christmas peace
terms has reached here through the
same neutral diplomatic channels
which earlier in the week received in
formation to support intimations from
abroad that new peace offer was
coming
In the main, the terms as described
follow the line of those said to have
been written by German Foreign Min
lister Kuehlman last summer At that
time they were denounced as having
been written purely for political pur-
poses.
The so-called terms which must be
appraised only at their face value are
said to include the following: To leave
the disposition of Alsace Lorraine to
a plebiscite Of inhabitants. England to
take Germany for her lost African
colonies and the money to be used
for the rehabilitation OF Belgium, Ser
bia, Roumania and northern France.
Russian provinces bordering the Bal
tic, the Black sea and Prussia to be-
come Independent under a German
plan.
Poland to be called an independent
state under Austrian suzerainty
Disarmament, freedom of the seas.
and commerce to be left to the peace
conference.
Roumania, Serbia and Montenegro,
to retain their original boundaries
with the right of access to the sea
being granted to Serbia. Turkey to
remain intact
Whether such proposal of terms
is merely another step In the German
propaganda to impress the public mind
that the allies are responsible for the
continuance of the war or whether 1t
really is feeler for peace is a subject
for the estimate Of the government
concerns. 20

FOE TO MAKE
PEACE OFFER
THROUGH RUSS
Central Powers Adopt No
Annexation, No-Indemnity
Program, They Say.

PETRoGRAD, Wednesday, Dec. 19
According to press reports. Russia
has been informed by the central pow.
ers that they intend to make peace
proposals to ~ allies
This report Is published in the Even.
Ing Post, which says the represents
tives OF the central powers. at the first
preliminary peace conference with the
Russians. held yesterday, announced
that their governments intended on
principle to put the question Of peace
before all the powers and that they
had asked their allies to do likewise.
Russia was requested to take similar
steps. It is stated the Russians are
endeavoring BY all means to sound the
allies.
Self-DesinitIon inprscticable
The Evening Post says the Germans
have officially informed the Bolsheviki
headquarters that the central powers
are ready to consider the arrange
ment OF peace on the basis of no an.
nexations and no indemnities, but
pointed out that self-definition of ma.
ton was impractica5le.
The representatives OF the central
powers informed the Russians they
were ready to discuss peace prelimin-
aries but desired to know the results
of Russia's efforts to induce the allies
to join in rne negotiations before pro.
ceeding with them.
They said this point Of view might
be changed, however, and that they
might be willing to discuss peace with
Russian alone. The Germans were OF
the opinion that the Russian armistice
might influence the other fronts.
The first conference was devoted
merely to discussion of who would
participate in the negotiations.
