CBy Associated Prsss.)

Petrograd, Nov. 22.-The Russian

eral Bukhonin, the commander in
chief, to open negotiations for an
armistice with the commanders Of
the enemy armies. The proposal to
negotiate peace was officially con-
veyed to ambassadors OF the allied
nations at Petrograd.
The formal offer Of an armistice to

Gil Of peoples commissaries of the

Is not intended to forecast any effort
toward q separate peace.
On the contrary, IL is declared
definitely here that not only ts
separate peace not desired but that
the rejection Of the armistice
proposal by Germany, even should
IL be acceptable to the allies. would
mean a continuation OF the war by
the new revolutionary arm with
vigor against German Imperialism
until the German people inspired by
Russian democratic ideas" overthrow
their rulers and demand peace.
Confidence ia expressed here, how

the allied governments. then through
the insistence of the people of the
allied countries who, Il is predicted
will bring pressure to bear on their
governments.

Mr.. Thorns pointed to the fact

Samuel Rea, president OF the
Pennsylvania road, that he did not
believe the roads should attempt

'Tf our government takes over the
operation OF the railroads for the

titled to the profits over and above

London, Nov. 22-The bells Of
London probably will peal today for
General Byng's victory and IL the
proposal Is adopted IL will be the
first time since the war began that
the bells have rung for any rejoicing.
The Times says IL has questioned
the authorities concerning the pro-
posed ringing and has found all
favorable.
Thus far England has taken quiet
ly Field Marshal Haig's big victory
in France. This morning despite the
big headlines and eulogistic articles
In the newspaper and the feelings OF
quiet exultation evidenced in priv
ate, the public went about its busi-
ness as usual. Not an extra flag
was flying and the bells have not
yet aroused the people to a realiza-
ton Of what their armies have done
In France.
Unlike the Engllshmen OF the South
African war days, when the capture
OF a town, the release of q garrison
or the defeat of q handful OF Beers
was made the occasion OF street
demonstrations, those Of today take
the victories soberly and content
themselves with the anticipation Of
bigger things to come.
German View of IL.
Berlin, Nov. 20. via LONDON The
battle southwest OF Cambrai Is con-
tfnuing, army headquarters announc-
ed today. The enemy, the statement
declares, did not succeed in breaking
through, though he gained q little
ground beyond the German front line.
The German statement says that
On the western bank Of the Scheldt
the Germans drove back the British
to Anneux and Fontaine and that on
the east bank of the river the British
were forced back into their former
positions south Of Rumilly.
The text of the German statement
reads:
THE battle southwest of Cambria
continues. BY the massed use OF
tanks and infantry and by launching
his cavalry the enemy sought to ef-
feet a break through, which was
denied him on the first days attack.
He did not succeed In his objective.
Although he was able TO gain a little
ground beyond our front lines he
was not able to attain greater sue
ceases.
'.The enemy troops which were ef-
fectlveiy caught by the fire Of our
artillery and machine guns and
greatly thinned encountered the
counter thrust Of our brave infan-
try'.
