Refuse to Consider 1t.
Russian delegates, according to the
correspondent, refused unequivocally
to consider the proposition and d
clared that self definition was impos-
sible until the last German soldier
had left the country. They further
jeered the Germans asking what they
proposed to do. They asked also
whether they intended marching upon
Petrograd, siezing 100000 starving
people, and disarm the country dis
tricts in which every workman had {
rifle. The Germans asked time for
consideration and begged that j
part of the negotiations should not be
published. The Russians refused to
allow this and left Brest-Litovsk.
..... Russ Badly Treated.
M. Rodok on behalf of the Bolshe-
Wiki, delegation according to the Rus
sian official news, made a statement
regarding the meeting with the Ger
man delegation to discuss conditions
of peace, in which he said that at
moment the conference had assemble
with the prospect of alleviating the
miseries of war, to those battling fof
peace was added still more suffering
He stated that many Russian fight
ing for the cause of peace had been
imprisoned and badly treated by the
Germans. Others were forced to Ia
bor for German interests.
A Petrograd dispatch says that the
Russians demanded that all Socialists
imprisoned in Germany be released
Immediately.
The dispatch also mentions the oc-
cupation by Cossacks troops of the
town ,af Alexandrowitch. This dis
patch, however, does not distinguish
which town of that name it refers to.

London, Jan. Peace negotiations
at Brest-Litovsk have been broken off
by the Bolsheviki government Because
of the attitude of the German dele
gates toward Poland and Lithuania
and the enemy proposal that garri-
sons be retained at Lebeau, Riga ano
elsewhere, according to a Petrograd
correspondent. -
The dispatch quotes an article from
the Bolsheviki newspaper Izethia
discussing the new phrase in the
peace negotiations" The article says
that Germany proposes to hold Holland
and Lithuania, claiming that self de-
finition is impossible, and adds that
the terms of peace as presented by the
German delegates contain no provis-
ions favorable to Russia.
Defies Germans.
Gust you try it," says the Izethia
at the close of the article. This is>the
line of argument taken up by the
Russian peace factions. The cores
pondent of the Daily News adds that
probably the question will be taken up
at general meeting to consider the
report of the Russian peace delegates.
The Bolsheviki heads, he adds, are
much disturged over this action but
declare no acceptance will be made
by their party to any terms of similar
nature presented by Germany. "And
as long as the Bolsheviki continue to
govern in the matter of peace negotia-
tons, prophecy that. the Russian
signatures to such peace will not be
