AMSTERDAM, Jan. 12.-Russian
Foreign Minister Trotsky is deter
mined that the onus for breaking of
of all peace negotiations shall rest
with the Germans.
Dispatches from Brest-Litovsk to-
day reported that the Bolsheviki
leader "in order to remove the CEN
tral powers pretext that they would
be forced to discontinue peace nego-
tiations If the Russian demand for
transfer to neutral ground was In
sisted upon" had formally announced
the Russians acceptance of the Ger
man demands to proceed with the
deliberations at Brest-Litoysk.
totally contradictory messages re-
ceived here yesterday.
According to today's dispatches
Trotsky's announcement was made
late Friday Earlier dispatches yes
'terday had reported the Russians
formally withdrawing from the meet
ings and suspending the sittings.
Later the Russians conferred and the
new move today was apparently the
result of that meeting of the Russian
delegates.
The Russians willingness to con-
tinue at Brest-Litovsk puts complete
responsibility upon the Germans for
some adjustment in the original
terms OF peace they offered Rather
than make any concessions, the Ger
mans sought to cover UP by the pre-
text that because they would not
transfer the negotiations to Stock
holm all peace discussions were ter
minated. Further dispatches from
Brest-Litovsk today quoted Trotsky
as insisting that there was no justi-
f1cation for the German fear that
there could be allied interference
with any negotiations conducted on
neutral soil, but as voicing his desire
for continuance Of the discussions.
Delegate Bolubowyisch, from Uk-
rainia, was declared to have notified

changed relative to the po2e's own

alton now of the presidents terms.
There were persistent although un-
official rumors today that the holy
father would eventually gather UP the
threads Of the allied terms and those
stated by the central powers and
from these try to weave fabric
which would serve as the groundwork
for peace.
The United Press is able to state
that the pope regards America as the
most democratic element which would
be party to a peace conference.-the
party which would be least likely to
insist on rigorous terms.
Therefore, although the holy faith
er was Mortified at the constant
widening Of the sea Of blood" as one
vatican official put it, the fact was
limited that the pope welcomed Amer
ica's entrance into the war as likely
in the end to result in a more DEM
