ASK CONFIRMATION
OF RUSS PROPOSAL
General Hoffman TeIesraphs Bol-
shsviki Government for Authsntiea-
tion Of Peaee Offer Made Tuesday,
Declares Confirmation Must be For
wardAd to German Command at

Notwithstanding the boisheviki
have announced their willingness
to conclude an immediate peace on
tho terms Of tho central powers,
tho German armies are continuing
their advance into great Russia.
Tho German headquarters state
ment today reports further for
ward movement Of the German
forces which recently crossed tho
Dvina on the northern front and
occupied Dvinsk. {"
They pushed on east and north
east Of. that city yesterday, it 10
announced.
Tho Germans undertook this cam
paign to safeguard peace and order
in tho occupied regions on her cast
ern frontier, the German foreign
ministers told the reichstae main
committees yesterday.
Nevertheless, Dr.. Won kuehlmann
announced Germany even now was
ready to make peace with Rus
sia on basis which would protect
German interests. Il seems prob
able that his address was made
before the holsheviki protest and
offers Of submission were received
in Berlin, but reports today make
Il appear that the German military
authorities ars in no haste to check
the meveSnents.
THE Russians rapport that General
4Hoffmar,n, German military repre-
sentative at tho erest. .Litovsk
peace conference, has asked that
written confirmation Of y Russian
peace offer be sent at once to
Dvinsk.
Germany has not yet definitely
replied to tho bolsheviki offer to
accept an enforced peace. Her ar
mics, having occupied Dvinsk and
Lutsk, continue the invasion Of
great Russia on . front Of moro
than 400 miles from the gulf Of
Riga to Lutsk.
Msnaced by The power Of Ger
man miIitarism the boIsheviki gov
ernment, unprspared for warfare,
agreed to accept tho hard terms re-
fused but few days ago at Brest-
Litovsk.

nothing, however, against tho Ger

= London Feb. 20.-The German war
against Russia apparently Is not pop
ular with the people OF Germany and
Austria, according to the press Of tho
two countries.
When tho Brest Litovsk negotiations
closed all talk was OF peace. The pub
lie did not discriminate between peace
with Ukraine and great Russia, ut
acclaimed 1t general peace With Rus
sia.
George Bernhard. in the Vossische
Zeitung. emphasizes this point and
wants an explanation Of who was re-
sponsible for this disappointment. The
socialist vorwaerts takes the same
line, and says:
"Thc more we juggre in Russian af-
fairs the more we get away from peace.
What must 'bc done Is to stick to the
defense Of our own soil and to make
peace wherever possible without an
nexations or forcible amputations.'
A large section OF opinion In Aus
tria-Hungary ALSO Is alarmed over the
prospect OF q renewal Of war with Rus
sia.
Austria .Displsased.
Dispatches from Amste rdam and
Zurich quote Austro- Hungarian news
papers to this effect and q Vienna dis
patch reports n rising of feeling
against Germany.
The Neue Freie Presse and the
Reichspost argue that as Austria
Hungary no longer has any enemies
on her eastern frontiers she Is not
called to interfere in Russian internal
affairs.
Tho Vienna leading socialist papers
think the Invasion OF the Russian ter.
ritory will gain little support from the
German workers.
The German independent socialists
are arranging for demonstrative
strike in tho munitions factories com.
mencing March 1, according to infor-
nation from Berlin forwarded by the
