LONDON, February THE resump-
ton of the peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk today, II it occurs, will take
place in a fog of vague reports and
contradictions as far as the outside
world is concerned.
Statements in many German news
papers indicate probable breach be-
tween the Germans and the bolshevikf,
and the conclusion Of a separate ar
rangement between the central powers
and the Ukraine. No light on the situa-
ton comes from Russian sources.
A dispatch from the Petrograd CORE
spondent of the Daily News under

direct telegraphic news received there
from Brest-Litovsk for four days. the
Germans alleged that the wires were

Trotzky Stand on Poland.

Leon TrotZky, the bolshevik foreign
minister. while declaring his readiness
to recognize the independence and right
of self government of the Polish state.
contended that the fact of foreign oc-
cupation prevented him from recog-
nzing Representatives of that state
under existing conditions, and he
argued that a state without either
boundaries or king could be neither a
state nor kingdom.
DR.. Won kuehlmann, the German sec
retary of foreign affairs. observed that
the negotiations would be facilitated II
Trotzky would recognize the indie
pendence of the other border states.
Count Czernin, the ustro-Hungarian
foreign minister. noted with Satisfac-
tion that by Trotzky's recognition of
the existence and independence of the
Polish state the standpoints of each
side appeared to have been brought
into greater unison. But he was un-
able to admit that the question whether
the existing Polish government was
authorized to represent the Polish state
could be submitted for arbitration to
a third government.
Both Count Czernin and DR.. Won
Kuehlmann protested that they had not
come to engage in an intellectual
wrestling match. and. at the close, the
German secretary explained that he
was obliged by unavoidable duties to
depart for a short time, but said that
during his absence the political and
economic commissions could continue
the negotiations.

Denounce German Campaign.

PETROGRAD, February THE L.
vestia and other bolshevik newspapers
denounce bitterly the campaign of mis-
representation in the German press.
They charge that the German govern
ment is misleading the socialists there
by depicting the bolsheviki as being in
alliance with British and American i'm
perialists. The Russian delegation at
Brest-Litovsk has complained repeat
edly to the German delegates regarding
the duplicity of the German press, but
without effect.
The German newspapers, the lives
tia declares. have given the German
public the impression that the bolshe-
wiki in Russia are band of disorgan-
ized hooligans in an effort to persuade
the German public not to listen to the
demands of the working classes.
