600, OOO,O 900.

London. Jan. 14.-Rcvievtins the first
year OF Germany's ruthless submarine
ing which ends February J., the Tage-
Dlatt asserts that the central powers
have succeeded in completely upsetting
the economic life of the entente and
adds that the Submarine campaign
which has now become the principal
factor i'll nava warfare is being eX-
banded Ii developed still further.
Summarizing the results of the UNI
derWater campaign since February l.,
the Tageblatt claims that the U-boats
have sunk on an average S21 900 tons Of
shipping monthly from February to
December and for the whole year the
toll may be expected to show nearly
10000, 600 tons and that The building OF
new ships by the entente n neutrals
during the year will replace only be-
tween $4,000 0 and 1000, 900 tons of
these losses. The newspaper says the
monetary loss TO Germany's enemies as
U-hoats will reach $1,000, 900, 900 figur-
ing the value OF the ships at $3.50 per
ton and their Car.oeS at the anne rate.
Notwithstanding the showing thus
made the Taseblatt doe not take an
optimistic view Of Germany's future.
The paper adds:

Amsterdam, Jan. 14.-Leon TrotZky,
conference at Brest-Litovsk. yesterday
said that In order not to leave any
possibility in the fight for peace UNI
utilized the Russian delegation accept
ed the demand that the negotiations
be continued at B~rest-Litovsk.
The chairman of the Russian delesa-
zion said that in full accord with their
former resolution the Russians desired
to continue the peace negotiations
quite apart from the fact whether or
not h entente powers participated.
Irotzky said he had noted the state
ment of the central powers that the
oasis OF a general peace as formulated
IN their declaration of December % was
u and void, added;
We adhere to the principles of DEM
ocTatlc peace as proclaimed by u.s."
Further dispatches today quoted
Irotzky as insisting that there was no
Justification for the contention Of the
mi that there would be allied
interference with any negotiations con-
quoted on neutral soil.
"A delegate from Ukrainla was de-
clared TO nave notified the general con
ference that he would adopt an indie
pendent attitude toward the negotia-
llohs until the formation Of a Russian
federation of states determined exact
~ what relations the Ukrainians should
bear toward Russia.
Moreover, M. Trotzky continued, the
RUSSIAN delegation could not pass over
other points which had been mentioned

Hertling.

try, owing to the policy of the classes

country is not determined by it's techni-
cal apparatus alone, but also by it's in
herent possibilities-as Gernany's eco
nomic strength should not be Judged by
her present conditions and means OF
supply
M. Trotzky considered that the great
or forces of the Russian people had
been awakened and developed by the
revolution just as the reformation of
the sixteenth century and he revo,n-
! ton or the Eighteenth century had
vitalized the creative forces Of the Ger
man and French peoples. He added:
"Ihe Russian government. however.
wrote the word peace at the head OF it's
program. The great sympathies OF the
Russian people for the peoples of he
allies strengthen the desire to attain
the speediest peace based on an under
standing among the peoples"
