LONDON, March 20.-German troops
continue to advance in the Ukraine, says
an official statement given out in Ber-

Kremenchug). drove back strong bands.
The statement says:
"In the eastern Ukraine, Wurttem-

galway leading from Olevopol to the
northeast, fought with and drove back
strong bands near Novo Ukrania:"
The army statement also says the r.

From this it is evident Rumania has

Declaration Following Lon
don Conference Laden
With Importance

PARIS, March 18.--In official circles
here it was pointed out to-day that the
declaration issued in connection with
last weeks Inter-Alled Conference in
London concerns merely European ter
ritorial questions, and hence it was
logical that the United States and
Japan, although fully informed and in
entire sympathy with the statements
made, should not have taken formal
part in the issuance of the declaration
A competent authority said to The As
sociated Press:
"The declaration fully expresses the
democratic principles formulated in
President Wilson's messages, notably
as regards the rights of peoples to dis
pose of themselves.
"Thc declaration denounces clearly
and catcgorically the Bolshevik blundel
in putting faith in Germanys words
concerning peace without annexations
or indemnities. 1t shows that the
Allies regard the Russian people as
friends. drawing distinction between
the people and the Bolshcviki, and tha
they firmly intend to save Russia il

LichnowsEzy Loses Rank

AMSTERDAM, March 20.-The Ger

Prince Lichnowsky, who was German
Ambassador at London at the outbreak
Of the war, has written letter to the
Chancellor, declaring that q memo
randum which he wrote in August, 1916,
severely criticising the foreign policy
of the German government, was in
tended for the family archives and was
written without documentary material.
Ir was shown, on assurance of absolute
secrecy, TO n few trusted political
friends.
The Vice Chancellor added that Lich-
nowsky, meanwhile, had resigned his
rank and that his resignation had been
accepted. AS he, doubtless, rad no bad
intention and was simply guilty of i'm
prudence, the Vice Chancellor declared
no further steps would be taken.
He then proceeded to contradict some
of the former ambassadors assertions
which, he said, were due to prejudice
and msinformation.

Bids Germans to

OF Early Peace

COPENHAGEN, March 1S.-"Gcr-
many should not indulge in delusions
that world peace has been accomplished
yet" Count Won Hertling, the Imperial
Chancellor, declared in concluding his
speech in the Reichstag to-day on the
peace treaty with Russia.
Baron Won dem Bussche- e-Haddenhau-
sen, Under Secretary for Foreign Af-
fairs, explained that Germany had
adopted sharper and firmer method in
the second phase of the Russian nego-
tiations, because it realized that Trotz-
ky, the Bolshevik Foreign Minister, de-
sired not peace, but to instigate Ger
many to rebellion and counted on a
revolution in Germany and Austria
Hungary to help him veil the fact Of
Russian defeat.
"Our negotators," the Under Secre-
tary said, gained the impression that
The Russians expected far more severe
terms after they had forced us to a
fresh appeal to arms, and their protest
that they were forced to accept our
terms without sufficient time for nego-
tiatng was mere attempt to save
their own faces"
