Washington. Dec. 31-The state de-

disEu!se the facts behind the peace
negotiations at Brest-Litcvsk by the

has delegated to Chancellor Won ITert-
ling the power to make peace and that
the Pan-Gcrmanic press is regarded
by officials here as probably inspired
for the purpose OF Indicating the cor
fldence of the public in Germans power
to dictate peace terms
The story that the Kaiser was yield
ing more power to his chancellor has
rot been borne out by any facts re-
ceived at the state department. The
only information that might serve as
the basis for such a report was a dis
p~tch from Copenhagen dated Deem
ber &c, but referring to n published
dispatch there under the date Of De
cember 81 in which It was repo: ted
that the Kaiser had given :he chan
cellor his approval of the participa-
ton In the peace conference OF the
delegates chosen by the chancellor.
The state department today was
still without any information official O.
otherwise that this governments par

and from Petrosrad have left no doubt
that both Berlin and Petrograd were
determined If possible to align Amer

an offer either direct or indirect,
would be no surprise. No official Of
