disappointment in London, Paris and Rome that President
Wilson did not allow himself to be deferred from replying to
Count Won Herg and Count Czernn by the decisions of
the Versailles council.

calm and very objective. 1t is framed very concila

WARY SPECIES AND HUN Is
STUMPED OVER EVENTS.
FEARS RUSS TRICKERY
German Newspapers Note Fact That
Three Hours After Rehabilitation Or
der for Russian Army Was Issued,
Another Order Stopped Former One.

Amsterdam, Feb. l4.-Judging from
the latest indications in the German
press, much dissatisfaction and suspi-
cion has been aroused by the latest
move Of Foreign Minister Trotzky. I'M
portant political and military leaders
are said to be conferring busily to find
the best solution to the puzzle.
The Kreuz Zeitung Of Berlin, on
Thursday declared, "on reliable infor-
nation" that Trotzkys proposal is in
no circumstance to be regarded as a
peace offer, while it is pointed out by
other papers that the Russian war
theater was mentioned especially in the
official army report Of Tuesday.
Berlin telegram to the Koelnsche
Volks Zeitung Of Wednesday says:
The government is not willing to con
tinue relations with Russia on any
basis whatever unless the present Rus
sian government signs a regular peace
treaty. As, however it must be reck.
oned, for the present time at any rate,
that Trot2ky does not think OF signing
any formulated peace decaratiou a sit.
uation is created which makes ncces-
sary thorough discussion between the
government ana The supreme army COM
mand"
Ready for More Talk
The correspondent in an apparently
inspired passage adds:
The chancellor IS resolved. under the
circumstances to conduct further ncgo-
tiations in any neutral center. and it
will be the affair Of the central powers
to determine where such negotiations
may best be held. The recall of the
economic commission from Petrograd is
undr consideratiouetaoin SHIN THTH
under consideration.
"On the other hand, it is evidently
realized that the question Of the big
army of Austro.German prisoners of
war in Russian territory, still controlled
by Petrograd, can not be overlooked" "
A telegram from Vienna to the Tag
lische Rundschau, says:
1T is pointed out, in we'll informed
quarters, that the confusion and un-
certainty of internal conditions in Rus
sia demand that the central powers
adopt a cautious and waiting attitude,
and that in spite OF the absence of a
formal conclusion of peace, there be no
hindrance TO the exchange of prisoners"
Says DemObilzation Stopped.
All German newspapers note the
fact that three hours after a message
was sent out announcing the issuance
of rehabilitation order to the Rus
sian army, another Russian message
was issued ordering that circulation Of
this communication be stopped. 1t is
suggested that this indicates that the
bolshevist government no longer thinks
Of adhering to the declaration of For
eign Minister Trotzky.
