Boisheviki Fails to Appear When
katsexss En,issax-icS Arrive AT
Proposed Peace Conference.

London. Jan. 6.--The Teutor peace
delegations to Brest- IAtovsk were left
high and dry by the Bufyneviki
when they got back to Rrset-Latovsk
yesterday. which was the date of the
expiration of Trotxky's ultimatum to
the alias, The Russian delegates
failed to turn UP even for the pur-
pose OF hearing whether Berlin and
Vienna had changed their minds on
the camoufiaged annexationist clause.
Instead there was a message from the
Bolsheviki awaiting the Teutons
reiterating the proposal 70 move the
peace conference TO Stockholm. a pro-
possl which DIR. Won Kuelhmann had
been charged by his government TO
reject.
Late, tonight, however. it became
evident that something must have
happened in the last twenty -four
hours TO decide the Bolsheviki to re-
turn to Brest -Litovsk after all. for
there were strong reports that the
Russian mission was on the wag to
the peace rendezvous, From Berlin
came dispatches telling of semi
official German threat that Russia
must take the consequences on her
self if she breaks off peace negotia-
ttons"
In the meantime L uJANyS pSaCS
terms to Russia were made known.

of free passage for Russia through

yelled threat at economic war on the

wheather this and other moderate
terms embodied in the Turkish state
ment served as an eleventh hour lure
for the Bolsheviki to reconsider their
decision not TO return to Brest-Litovsl'
| la a matter of guess work.
Petrograd correspondents today
confirmed the information to the eff
feet that Germany Is flirting" with
/ the Ukraine. 1t is now reported there
are strong elements IN little Russia
