Germany's invasion OF RUSSIA has
slowed down. During the last twen-
ty-four hours there have been no re-
ports showing that the Teutons were
sweeping ahead toward Petrograd.
one explanation OF this fact may be
found in an unofficial but authenti-
Gated dispatch from Petrograd which
states that the German troops have
received orders from Berlin to ad-
vance no further. This would indi-
cate that the formal peace terms
have been accepted and a treaty has
been signed by the Teutonic and Boil
shevik delegates
In spite of the German report that
Operations on the eastern front are
taking their normal course" and that
another Esthonian regiment had
placed itself under the command of
the German staff, it is asserted in
Petrograd that the Russian troops
have recovered their fighting spirit
and that Cossacks, as we'll as mixed
detachments of soldiers, are on their
way to the front.
Rumanian Peace Terms.
AdVices from Bucharest are to the
effect that the central powers have
communicated their peace terms to
King Ferdinand of Rumania. who has
been granted a short period for con-
sideration. Recent unofficial dis
patches stated that Rumana would
be asked to cede parts of Dobrudla
To ItItl -atsia a ,rikr a
Austria preferential treatment in
commercial and economic relations
1t is officially denied by the Ruman-
ian press bureau in Paris that King
Ferdinand will relinquish his throne
at the behest of the anti-war party
in his country.
Another Spanish cabinet has fallen.
In some quarters 1t is reported to
have resulted because of the insist
ence OF the government in adhering to
it's policy of strict neutrality toward
the belligerents in the war. Public
opinion in Spain has become inflam-
ed by the sinking recently of five
Spanish vessels by German or Aus
trian submarines.
Slavs Face New Attack.
Russia is facing a new attack, this
time in the Far East Japan is known
to have sounded the entente allies.
especially the United States, as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking steps to pre-
vent tremendous stores of munitions
held at Vladivostok and other points
along the Siberian railroad from fall
ing into the hands of the Bolsheviki,
or the Germans. Viscount Motono,
the Japanese foreign minister, re-
Gently spoke on the subject and adj
vices from Paris say that 1t is be-
lieved there that Motono's words were
Japan's answer to General Foch's
appeal to Japan and the United
States to take steps in Siberia.
IT is admitted at Washington that
the matter has been discussed in Of
ficial circles. but there Is much re-
ticence on the part Of men closely
identified with the administration.
No words as to the probable policy of
the United States has as yet been
given out
Raids on Western Front.
French and British troops have car
ried out raiding operations against
the enemy. The French operations
were centered at Verdun and the Eng
