wording Of the rest-Litovsk peace
treaty is causing considerable friction
and a constant exchange Of protests.
The provision relating: to Russian
war ships stipulating their transfer
to Russian ports or their disarma-
Vment, Germany interprets as obligine
them not to leave ports and not to

q M. Tchitcherin,. the foreign minis

and suggested that commission be
appointed to settle the dispute. This
was accepted by Germany and the
commission will meet in Berlin.
At the same time Foreign Minister

that the Black seq fleet, a report OF
whose capture by the Germans has
not been confirmed. be given immu-
nifty in the Crimea.
Germany has refused to admit into
