AMERICAS AIR
FORCE BEHIND
MAJOR BISHOP
MANOR BISHOP

MONTREAL, Jan. 12.-Germany
will have nothing to fear from the
United States air fighting forces dur
ing the coming spring, because the
American aircraft program is "far
behind" its schedule, according to Ma
jor William A. Bishop, winner Of a
Victory Cross, who addressed the Can
adian club here today. He is credited
with shooting down As German air
craft.
Major Bishop characterized as "un-
fortunate" the advertising which has
been given the United States Govern.
ment's aircraft program.
He said that while France would
find it impossible further to enlarge
her airplane fighting forces during the
coming half year, Germany, knowing
Americas intentions, has greatly ex-
panded her flying corps in an effort
to gain supremacy in air warfare.
Consequently. he declared, during
the next few months, Great Britain
will have to face the most terrible
time she ever has faced, and especial
ly from the point of war in the air"
Americas assistance in maintaining
allied air fighting superiority, may
be felt" by summer, but during the
spring months Major Bishop said 'the
United States will not be a factor for
the Germans to reckon with in the
air.

RUSSIA Will
CONTINUEHER
NEGOTIATIONS
WITH TEUT0NS
That Is Her Answer to Ger
man Demands that Confer
ence Be Held at Brest-
Litovsk.
TO RAISE A new ARMY
(By Associated Press)


Russia will continue negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk for separate peace.
This is her answer to the German de-
mands that the conference remain
there and the declaration Of the Cen
'tral Powers that the peace proposals
of December 25. insofar as they affect
ed Russia's allies. had been withdrawn.
The decision Of the Bolsheviki gov
eminent to continue the negotiations
with the Central Powers was announc-
ed by Leon Trotzlsy, the foreign min
lister, when he replied on Friday to the
German declaration after he had OBJ
tanned an adjournment to consult with
his colleagues. It was Trotzky who
demanded that the conference be
transferred to neutral soil to get away
from the German environment at
Brest-Litovsk.
To Raise New Army.
Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki
commanderin-chief, has begun cam
paign to raise volunteer army, the
new force he says, will be used against
the Bourgoisie of Russia and against
the Germans II negotiations fail, but
also to liberate the proletariat of other
continental European countries. Boil
sheviki troops have been defeated in
the province of Tchernigov by the Uk-
rainians after severe fighting, but
have occupied railway stations in
south central Russia.
France will not join in the peace
conference at Brest-Litovsk. Stephen
Pichon, foreign minister, has announc-
ed. She also will have no peace ne
gotiations with the enemy until they
make direct proposals. The French
government has refused to issue pass
ports so that French Socialists might
go to Petrograd.
There has been no break in the mo-
notony on the fighting front on the
west. Raids have taken place south
OF Ypfse and In the Champaign and
.1he ARTILLERY activity has been most
marked In The Pyres and st Quentin
areas On the Italian northern front
the artillery fire has been most In
tense between the Brenta and the
Piave rivers. ..
