This, In sober language, sums up
the opinion of Paris on the situation.
The anxiety of the last week has
been gradually giving way before the
growing realization that nothing yet
has occurred to diminish the universal
confidence felt in the genius Of Foch
and the magnificent fighting qualities
OF the average French poilu.

Berne, June 8.
Doctor Wertheimer. the Kiev corre-
spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung,
writing to his paper, gives a rather de-
pressing account of the present stage of
the peace negotiations between Russia
and the Ukraine The delegates ON both
sides are reported TO be disputing one
another's authority to adopt decisions,
consequently the fourth plenary meeting
of delegates lasted only few minutes.
Doctor Wertheimer adds:
"one was still entitled to hope that
Yesterdays meeting might do some real
work, and although this fifth session ac-
tually sat more than four and a half
hours. 1t did not come to a decision on
single point under discussion"
There are four principal points in
dispute.
First. Frontier deimitation.
Second. Repatriation of Ukrainians
from great Russia
Third. Return of the railway stock
belonging to the Ukraine
Fourth. The ukrainian demand for in
dependent diplomatic representation.
Dispute Over Railroads
The proposals of the two sides for
| fixing the northern frontier vary by as
much as sixty-fve miles, and the dis
puted area contains important railway
functions and industrial areas
The Russians oppose the second point

Whlch only money in the most limited
quantities is allowed to leave Russia
Besides the Soviet government is
naturally unwilling TO see It's wealthier
subjects escape by means of the sirnple
eXpedient of calling themselves Ukra-

Regarding the third point. the Rus.
SLAMS demand the appointment of a COM

The separate diplomtic representation
for the Ukraine was Violently deb.ted
SO violently as almost to cause the break

Slackening in Enemy's Efforts
Noted.
GREAT BATTLE WILL
TAKE ON NEW PHASE

A Paris dispatch states that Pre-
n1ier Clemenceau told the army com
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday that the moment was near
when the reserves of the Allies would
enter intoN action. The great battle
nov being waged in France would then
take on new phase and, he added,
there was every reason to nope that
the enemy would not retain the bene-
fit of the gains made at such a bloody
price.
There was a settling down along
the British and French fronts where
the Germans were trying to break
through, states the dispatch, anC
even within the last few hours there
had been noted slackening in the
enemy's effort.
