TROTzKY SCORES
 HUN ATTITUDE AT CONFERENCES

Petrograd, Saturday, Jan. 26-For- eign Minister Trotzky, addressing the councils of workmen's and soldiers delegates on the question of peace to- night, decelared that the Germans had masked their real intentions with fine words, but were in reality de- manding all they could get.
 "They thought Russia needed peace at any price," Trotzky said. 'oThey were mistaken. This is not the posi- tion of the workmen's and soldiers government. We still insist on a dem ocratic peace. When the nation has become ex- hausted and when all the efforts that have been made have proved unsuc- cessful, then it might be possible for the nation to conclude an undemo- cratic peace, but the present govern ment has not yet reached that posi- ton. But, if under force of circum- stances, it would be forced to sign an undemocratic peace, it would never tell the people that it was a demo- cratic peace"
 London, Jan. 29-The report that M. Trotzky and M. Kameneff are on their way back to Brest-Litovsk is l denied by the semi-officiaI Russian news agency. A dispatch sent out to- day by the news agency says M. Ka- mcneil is going to Stockholm, Lon don and Paris with the object of in- forming the Allied governments con- corning the progress of the peace pour parlers.
