GERMAN FURLOUGHS
AGAIN CUT DOWN
Number of Soldiers in the Field Reduced
Will Have Bad Effect on
Morale.

Copenhagen, Oct. 30.--The new restric
tions on the furloughs for German sol
diers necessitated by the growing prob
lem of transportation, cut down by one,
half the, number of men in the field and
eliminate them for troops garrisoning
the occupied regions, except for urgent
personal reasons or when leave is grant
ed for pressing farm work 1t is believed
this regulation can hardly fail to have
an effect on the spirit of the soldiers,
for the semi-annual opportunity to visit
home and relax from the strain of serv-
ice in the field was an important factor
in keeping up the fighting spirit and
to continue in the war.
The army authorities announce that
the restrictions are imposed with the
greatest reluctance. This may readily
be believed, owing to the effort which has
been made to maintain regular system
of furloughs, even for units engaged in
the heaviest fighting.
After this radical step the government
will hardly shrink from any measures to
decrease civilian passenger traffic.

SEPARATE PEACE
CALLED IMPOSSIBLE
Russian Foreign Minister Declared in
Addressing Preliminary Parlia-
ment.

Petrograd, Oct. 20 delayed Foreign
Minister Terestchenko, on addressing the
preliminary Parliament to-day, said a
separate peace was impossible and that
the defense of Russian territory was one
of the fundamental needs. The foreign
minister said the absolute independence
of Courland and, perhaps, of Poland Lith-
uania was impossible, as it would mean
that Russia would return to the days
before Peter the Great. He also asserted
that complete rehabilitation and dis
armament and the naturalization of ca
nails and straits is impossible. Terest-
chenko declared that offers for separate
peace and the sentiment in favor were
strongest last May, when they were fol-
lowed by a Russian offensive
"There is a rumor that the allies
wished to leave Russia to her fate" the
foreign minister continued, but / state
officially it is untrue. Germany's aim is
to separate Russia from the allies and if
possible to do this by peaceful means in
order to use Russia economically after
