 ported by Germans.

resolved to renew military activi- ties against northern Russia. This decision is said to have been reacl.- ed at a conference at imperial headquarters, special dispatches from Holland say.
 The conference was attended by Emperor William, Chancellor von Hertling, Field Marshal von Hind- renburg, General von Ludendorff, Foreign Secretary Son Kuehlmann and others.
 The mo war, but no peacer plan of Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheyiki foreign minister, was rejected at the conference, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express, and as T'rotsky does not want peace, he will get war.
 Invasion of Great Russia, it is ad- ded, will continue, at any rate until petrograd is occupied by German troops
 4 dispatch to the Daily news from Rotterdam says that the Germans take the view that Trotsky's decla- ration, although it did not end the war. automatically ended the armis- tlce. (The armistice expired Febru- ary f4.l The Germans now consider that they have free hand and mean to use the opportunity.
 Will Support Ukrainians
 This, according to the correspon- dent, does not mean necessarily that the Germans will immediately try to reach Petrograd, but more prob ably that they will support the Ukraine by force of arms. The Ger mans, he says, are carrying on an active propaganda in the Ukraine for the purpose of suggesting to the rada that the new state is endanger- cd by the Bolsheviki. It is declared that this is all part of Germany's scheme for breaking up the former Russian empire with view to ex- tending her own power and influ- ence over the new states, of whom it is posing as protector.
 Boisheviki Wifi Fight
 It is certain that the BoIsheviki are now moving troops against the Ukraine, a Berlin dispatch to the Koelnitsche Volks Zeitung says. and the Central Powers do not intend to allow themselves thus to be rob- bed of the fruits of their lately-con- cluded peace. The newspaper adds that it probably has been decided at the conference held at imperial headquarters to resume operations on the northern Russian front for the protection of the IJkraine".
 Stormy Scenes at Brest-Litovsk
 Amsterdam, Feb i5--The stormy closing scenes at Brest-Litovsk on February 9th are described in Ber- lin telegrams received here. Dr. von Kuehlmann. the German foreign secretary, in summing up the re- suits of the long discussions said that a continuation of the debates appeared to promise no reconcile ment of the opposing views.
 The Austro- Hungarian foreign minister agreed that a prolongation of the discussion offered little pros pect of agreement but suggested that an absolute agreement was not essential from the standpoint of a conclusion of peace and that some territorial and other matters might he left open.
 Trotsky Saw the Trick
 Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki for eign minister, replied that from the Russian standpoint the application which the Central Powers wished to give to the principle of self-deter- imitation was equivalent to the re- lection Of this principle. Further discussion on such basis, there- fore, was hopeless, he said Trotsky also said that the new western frontiers proposed for Russia must be condemned from the viewpoint of strategic considerations.
