The state department declined off1s
cial comment on the peace note situ-
alton.
II was officially noted that the
Swedish minister had delivered the
latest Austrian note shortly after
1890. At the same hour the Swiss
minister. who had received the Ger
man note. was calling at the White
House. He delivered the note to
President Wilson.
The president passed up his morn
ing game OF golf--an unusual pro
ceeding. and locked himself in his
study. where ne busted himself with
writing. II was understood he was
drafting a reply to the Teuton peace
offer.
State department officials made it
plain that, while President Wilson
had not given them his confidence.
II was safe to assume the American
position would. in general. be unal-
tered from the stand taken on the
last Austrian note.
Both Germany and Austria are In
the field with new peace moves. The
Austrian minister at Stockholm was
instructed to ask the Swedish govern
ment to transmit to President VIII
son a proposal for an immediate
arrnistice with him and his aliea,
and to start at once negotiations for
peace. This request was made Sat
urday.
The proposal follows:
''The Austro- Hungary monarchy.

Washington, Jan. 10 Deep ap-
prehension and alarm are felt by
the husslan maximalists at the
dangerous turn taken by the
Brest- Litovsk peace negotiations.
Official sdvices received here to-
day say the belief Is spreading
among the Bolsheviki that it is
only possible to treat with Ger
many as victory or yanquished.
II was because OF the growing
feeling that the Russian negotia-
tions were completely in the
hands of the enemy IN the fortress
at Brest Litovsk that an effort was
made to transfer the conference
to another point.
Profound differences of opinion
already have developed at the con
ference regarding the political fu.
ture Of the Poles, Lithuaaians and
Let's and the conviction has fol.
lowed that the Germans, feeling
that they could more readily en-
force their will in regard to these
matters at Brest- Litoysk, prevent
ed transfer of the negotiations
