FOG Wells PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS
Uncertainty Surrounds Report.
ed Renewal of Parley at
BreSt.litovSk.

London, Feb. THE resumption OF
the peace negotiations at erest-
Litovsk today, IL it occurs, will take
place in fog Of vague reports and
contradictions as far as the outside
world 10 concerned.
Statements in many German news
papers indicate a probable breach be-
tween the Germans and the bolsheviki
and the conclusion of a separate arr
rangement between the central powers
and the Ukraine. No light on the sit
uation comes from Russian sources.
A dispatch from the Petrograd cor
respondent of the Daily News under
Tuesdays date, says there has been
no direct telegraphic news received
there from Brest-Litovsk for four
days. The Germans allege that the
wires were damaged whereupon the
Russians similarly "damagd" the di-
rect wire between Petrograd and Ber-
lin used by the Austro German dele
cation. Foreign Minister Trotzky is
reported to be at Brest- Litovsk, but
nothing has been heard from him.
The bolshevik government, accord
ing to a Petrograd dispatch to the
Times, is proposing to revolutionize
China by supporting the mover tents
in the southern provinces against the
central Chinese government. A Rus
sian delegate will be sent to southern
China to work on this plan. The OBJ
ject is to produce a socialistic revo-
lutionary agitation with a view to
helping break down China's refusal to
let Russia have Chinese produce.
