Petrograd, Monday, Jan. 2S.-
Leon Trotzky. the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, and NJ. Kameneff left
Petrograd to-day for Brest-Litovsk
to resume the peace negotiations
with the central powers. The coun-
ellis of the Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates, while deploring the i'm
perialistic tenor of the German
peace terms, approved all the ac-
tions of the Russian delegation and
charged the government to continue
the negotiations.
The congress adopted a resolution
to this effect after the minority,
made up of Minimalists and Social
Revolutionists of the Right had
sought vainly to persuade the adop-
ton of a policy fatty against sep
arate peace. During the debate For
eign Minister Trotzky declared he
could not give a guarantee that he
would not sign Il separate peace,
saying:
ITO call a separate peace dis

COUNCIL RESTS
ON COLLECTION
OF CITY ASHES
Action on Problem Postponed
For Time Being by
commissioners

Council has apparently given up
any Intentions of providing for ash
collections for the present. With
the only bid for collections almost
$4,000 above the appropriation for
the work, the commissioners decided
to-day to postpone any decision on
the proposal by Stees, Simonetti and
Company. Commissioners Lynch and
Gross both opposed awarding the
contract because of the lack of
funds available to pay the increase.
Com missioner Hassler, however,
recommended accepting it if Coun-
ell thought the money could be
found to pay for the work.
1t was intimated that later if the
water rates are increased on a diff
ferent scale money may be provid-
ed for the collections. The ordinance
increasing the rates was not called
for final passage as j. w. Ledoux,
the Philadelphia expert, who has
been engaged to study the water
department conditions, will be ask
ed to prepare schedule of rates.

Crowder said about rs per cent would

vided and working well.

their peculiar qualifications, should
be completed by February Is, when
the Government would know just how
many carpenters, plumbers or other
special artisans are available. AL
though military and not industrial
drafting is now authorized, General
Crowder said the special detail bill
would facilitate assignment of men

GERMANS AGAIN
BOMB LONDON:
ONE PLANE BURNS
Two Groups of Raiders Cross
Essex and Kent
Coasts

London, Jan. 29.-German air
planes made their first attack of the
year upon London and it's suburbs
last night, their bombs inflicting
casualties officially reported as AZ
killed and 169 injured. All the vic
TINS except ono of the killed and
seven of the injured were in the
London area itself. No serious ma
terial damage was done and the
raiders suffered the loss of one ma
chine which fell in flames from n
height of 10000 feet, its three oc-
Cupants being burned to death.
\ large number of machines came
over the coast in relays, but appar-
entity only three or four succeeded
in getting through the barrage and
dropping explosive and incendiary
bombs into the town. The gunfire
lasted internationally through five
hours.
There was an hours interval be-
fore midnight when no firing was
heard except an occasional distant
gun off towards the coast. Resi-
dents, who were away from their
homes at the theaters or in the
shops when the raid began, con-
cluded it was all over, although the
bugles had not sounded the "clear"
SlSnal, ana more persons were IN
the streets than usual at midnight
when the heavy guns began to boom
again in warding off the second of
the two attacks.
The British flyers were more
se<4ive than ever before, having gain
ed in experience in night flying. Be-
sides the Gotha brought down by
British scouts over Essex one was
pursued over London by the scout
ing forces and the rattle of machine
guns in the air was plainly heard
from the streets.
The night was one of absolute
clearness. There was a full moon
and no clouds or wind. The popu-
lation had ample time for securing
shelter. adequate warning having
been given.
One of the raiding aircraft was
brought down, falling in flames
