RUSSIA MAY RESUME
 PEACE CONFERENCE
PEACE DELEGATES RETURNED TO BREST-LIT0HSk FOR
 FURTHER POURpARLERS

New York.-Unofficial advices say that the Russian peace delegates have returned to Brest-LitoYsk for a re- sumption of the pourparlers with the enemy u5iegates. No confirmation has been received. A Berlin dispatch received in Copenhagen says that Russia's representatives arrived al Brest-Litovsk and that the negotia lions reopened.
 Foreign Minister Trotzky accom- panied the delegation. Official con- hrmation of this report is lacking, but probability is lent to it by the fact that neither Russia nor the Central powers had declared officially that the peace negotiations have been broken off. Germany suspended the negotiations temporarily because 1t could not meet the Russian request that the conference be transferred to Stockholm.
 The political crisis in Germany brought over the annexation policy of tne government is most serious, ac- cording to reports from neutral capi- tals. It is reported that General von Ludendorff, as leader of the militarist group, threatened the resignation of himself and Field Marshal von Hin denburg, should the government con tinue the support of von kuelhmann'S plans. In London it is felt that the Central powers will be compelled to answer Premier Lloyd Georges state ment of war aims, which apparently has brought about better feeling in Great Britain. The German newspa- pers in their comment express disbe- lief in the sincerity of the British pre- mier's words.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

y local appICatlOns as they cannot reach he diseased portion of the ear. There Is lnly one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness, md that is by 8 constitutional remedy.

When this tube is infamed you have a -umbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be re- iuced and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition, hearing may be destroyed forever.

 Sure; I'll be glad to go. I'll not only show him wAere it is-I'n feed it to him."
 "No; I'll go," she said. "You two might quarrel"
 Right there I made my mistake. I let her go after him. So she spent the day with him instead of with me.
 While roaming about the empty rooms I heard a whine and, looking for its source, found Tootles in the kitchen trying to reach the shelf where the dog biscuit were kept. In the ex. citement Lucille had forgotten to feed her. With melancholy pleasure in spar. ing some living creature the bangs l felt myself I got down the box of bis cult and gave the dog one.
 There were twelve of the little cakes left in the box. The dog seemed very fond of them. One would not be miss ed. 1 hope 1 never have to go through such temptation again.

In order to ease her mind I volunteered to find the couple las Just as l opened the door there was a deafening roar of wind, which whipped the branches of the trees in sudden fury.
