Government.

London, Jan. 4.-The boIshevik for
eign minister, Leon Trotzky, is said
by the Petrograd correspondent Of the
Exchange Telegraph company to have
sent a communication to the Persian
government offering to begin nego-
tiations for the withdrawal of Rus
sian troops from Persian territory,
provided Turkey will withdraw hers.
The Russian commissioners, the cor
respondent says, have decided to ne-
aotiate with the government Of
Ukraine on the basis Of recognition Of
the ,Ukrainian repubIic provided IT
does not hinder military operations
against Gen. kaIedines, the Cossack
leader.
1t is suggested that these negotia-
tions be held. at Smolensk or Vitebsk.
According TO the same correspon-
dent, M. Kerensky, the deposed pre-
mier, has prepared an account of his
services during the period OF the first
revolution which will be presented to
the constituent assembly. 1t includes
full details of conditions at the front

CENTRAL POWERS
ENJOYS CLASHED
AT PEACE MEET
While Her Allies Were Conci|i.
atory, Germany Was Domi-
neering; Leaders in Open
Disagreement.

Petrograd, Jan. 3.-DiscIosure of de-
tails of the Brest Litovsk peace negoti-
ations makes it clear that Germany
assumed a domineering attitude, while
Austria Bulgaria and Turkey were
very conoiIiatesy and DISAGREED with
the German position.
There were differences also among
the German delegates. Foreign Min
ister Won kuehImann and Gen. Hoff-
man cIashed openly during the general
meetings. Germany posed constantly
as a conqueror, while her three allies
showed eagerness for peace and dis
position to compromise.
A statement issued by the BoIshevik
emphasizes the fact that the enemy
delegations now in Petroerad have no
diplomatic standing and are here
merely to arrange details, growing out
of the armistice, such as the exchange
of prisoners and the resumption of pos
tai service.

RUSSIANS MAKE
COUNTER-PRO

Unless there is change in
original plans, the emissaries Of
Russia and the central powers will
meet today to continue their dis
cussion OF peace terms, which the
boisheviki have declared are un-
acceptable. Russia's delegates have
proposed that the conference meet
in Stockholm, which, IL agreed to
by the Germans, will make for de-
lay.
A news dispatch received in
London says the Russians have
made counter proposals to the
Germans. 1t is added that they
will be discussed at the next meet
ing at Brest- Litovsk on Saturday,
which would indicate the Russians
have not persisted in their demand
that future meetings be held on
neutral soil. The new Russian
proposals call for complete evac-
uation of occupied territory pend
ing a referendum on sell. definition.
Reports that the German and
Austrian emperors and the military
and political advisers are much
perturbed over the Russian atti-
tude are followed by one that
Count Won HertIing, the German
imperial chancellor, is III. Berlin
political circles have q rumor that
Won HertIng, who is "a years old,
is to be ousted in favor Of Prince
Won Buelow. the former chancellor,
who is very close to the German
crown prince.
Recognition Of the Lenine-
Trotzky regime in Russia as a de
facto government by the entente
allies is probable, according to the
London Daily Chronicle. Such a
change Of sentiment, it is said,
would be due to the threatened
break in peace negotiations and
might bring from the allies a
statement of democratic policy
toward Russia.
Meanwhile the question Of the
constituent assembly still bothers
tho boIshevki and demands are
made that it be called at once.
The government Of the Ukraine
has sent to the bolsheviki de-
mand that it withdraw it's troops
from the Ukraine and decide
whether or not it is at war with
that government.
Nothing has occurred to break
the inactivity of the infantry on
tho western and Italian fronts.
Small raids have taken place here
and there and the German artii-
lery fire continues strong at vital
points on the western front.
England will soon be under COM
puIsory rationing. In making this
announcement Lord Rhondda, the
food controller, said the situation
was not alarming and would i'm
prove, although shortage in certain
foodstuffs would continue.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Senator Hard

gard" of senatorial courtesy, and he

president to inform the senate by what
warrants of law or authority" the
present cabinet officers hold their Of

life.
One field dressing station in thf
offensive around Vigneulles pro-
duced ample proof of the efficacy
of the steel helmet. A soldier was
brought in, unconscious, with deep
crease in his helmet directly over his
nose. Apparently he had been struck
by a machine gun bullet and the
wearer, though put to sleep for half
an hour, was uninjured.
Shortly afterwards another soldier
was brought in with an identical dent
in the brim. This time it was shrap-
mel and it had been DETECTED quite as
excessively, except that a bit Of skin
had bten nipped from the end of the
soldiers nose.
