Rada Willing to Bargain
Regarding the attitude of the
Ukraine towards the Germans, the
Daily News says the Rada is willing
to strike q bargain with the Ger
mans. The Petrograd correspondent
of the Times who is now in London
writes the Ukrainians are determined
TO send a mission to Brest-LltoNsk
not to negotiate n separate peace,
but to ascertain Germany's inten~
tions towards Little Russia. The
Germans are willing, he says, TO
recognize the Rada on the basis that
the Ukraine supply Germany with
foodstuffs and recognize German
economic interests in the Ukraine.
Neither of these points, the cor
respondent adds, are to Little Rus
sian taste, but if the allies fail TO
help the Ukrainians er adopt u
policy OF compromise with the Boil
sheviki the Rada may have to yield
Nund the Cossacks too.
Newspapers in Petrograd continue
to report fighting in the south where,
according to the correspondent OF
the Times, civil war is waging fast
and furious. In several places there
are reported to have been scenes of
fierce fighting. These include Eka-
terinoslav where it is said fighting
already has lasted five days. How
ever, as communication south and
east from Petrograd is precarious at
the best, the reports convey little
information.
Amidst the whirl of events in
Volving the fate of the nation the
Bolshevik government has found
time to decree that Russia shall
adopt phonetic spelling on January
Ia. Three vowels and one ,consonant
were eliminated from the Russian
alphabet.
Although the Bolshevik foreign
minister, Leon Trotzky, ANNOUNCED
that the German peace terms would
not be accepted, il was expected
that the Russian delegates would re-
turn to Brest-Litovsk for the meet
ings which We're to be resumed to-
day to inform the central powers Of
l;ussia's attitude. The Russians re-
quested transference of the negotia-
tions to Stockholm, because they
would have less difficulty there in
obtaining full publicity concerning
the negotiations and also because
they preferred a neutral place TO the
German eastern headquarters for
holding the discussions. The Ger
man chancellor. Count Won Hert-
ling, told the ReichstaG main com
mittee on Thursday that the Ger
man delegates have been instructed
20 refuse to transfer the negotiations
TO Stockholm.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-Passenger
service on the Reading railway to-
day approached normal schedules for

The New York PHILADELPHIA serv-

Pennsylvania officials are hopeful
that the withdrawal of hfty-one

elimination of 1O4 weekday trains
Monday, will give added motive DOW
er to provide sufficiently for passeng-
er schedules in the future and that
there will not be congestion next
week.
With the exception of a few
changes the main revision of passen-
ger schedules on the Reading.
