Meanw while there were tens OF thou

There was no spirit OF despair

For the time being, they said,

soon a new system OF order and

No Date SET for New Russian Peace
Conference.


LONDON, Jan. 15.--After bitter
exchanges between delegates OF the
Central Powers and the Bolsheviki,
the peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk have again been interrupted.
The Germans have withdrawn on the
ground that they must have further
consultations. but no date has been
set for the resumption OF the parleys.
This news comes in a despatch from
Brest -Litovsk, sent by the Wolff Bu-
reau, the semi-offcial Berlin news
agency. The despatch says:
"A committee, composed OF Ger
mans. Austro- Hungarlans and Rus
SLAMS, for the discussion of territorial
questions, held three long sittings on
Friday and Saturday. 1t was agreed
that the first paragraph OF the peace
treaty should be a clause announcing
that the state OF war between the
parties had been concluded.
THE Germans proposed n clause
that the contracting parties have re-
solved henceforth to live in peace and
friendship
Foreign Minister Trotzky refused
to indorse this, declaring that it was
"a decorative Ihrase which does not
describe the relations which in the
future win exist between the Rus
sian ard German peoples.
The Wolf Bureau report covers
nearly 5000 words and shows that the
discussion concerning the date OF the
evacuation was broken of, the par
ties failing TO agree. A long discus
| sion concerning which parts of the
occupied territory should he evacu-
ated also resulted in a disagreement

OF what constituted self-determina.

sion became embittered and the onI,
result was a protest by Gen. Hoff
mann Of the German delegation
AGAINST the tone Of the Russian dele
oation, which he said speaks as IL 4

Gen. Hoffman, reminded the dele
gates that the Bolshevik authority, a.
much as tho German, was founded OF
force, as instanced by what he termed
the attempts to suppress the Whit
Russia and the Ukrainian attempts a
self- -determination. Gen. Hoffman,
finally declared that the German Gu

Ton, They Assert-Hylan
Promises Halp.

About 20 retail coal dealers who
supply the poor in congcstcd tenement
districts complained to Mayor Hylan
to-day that many OF them have been
subjected TO extortion by wholesale
dealers Some OF the small dealers
charged that they have been taxed
s. for the privilege OF buying a ton
OF coal; others claimed that before
coal was sold TO them they had 10
agree 10 do free carting for the whole
salcrs.
The complainants said they repre-
scented the Retail Coal Dealers League
OF Greater New York, which has a
membership of 5000. They were de-
slrous OF bringing about an equal
distribution IN the tenement districts.
Nicholas SalvaEgi, a lawyer said
the small cellar and car dealer is the
sole reliance OF the tenement dwell
crs. Many small coal dealers, he said,
have been forced to close because of
the attitude of the wholesalers. The
lawyer explained that the small deal
er obtains his Goa supply through
cartmcn.
IIow many coal carriers In this
room have paid S. for the privilege
of buy.ng coal from wholesalers p
asked Mayor llylan.
Eight hands were raised,
Mayor Hylan advised the retailers

ton for the Mayor.
