formally announced today.
The armiStice heretofore
3 agreed upon expired today.
~ AMSTERDAM. Jan. 12.-Russian
Foreign Minister Trotsky is determin-
ed the onus for breaking off all peace
negotiations shall rest with the Ger
mans. Dispatches from Brest-Litovsk
today reported the Bolshevik leader
''fn order to remove the central pow
ers' pretext that they would be forced
10 discontinue negotiations IL the Rus
sian demand for neutral ground was
insisted upon.G had formally annOunc-
ed the Russians acceptance Of the
German demands to proceed with the
deliberations at BrestLitovsk.
Contradictory Messages.
Trotsky's change of front explains
totally contradictory messages re-
ceived here yesterday. According to
today's dispatches Trotsky's an
uouncement was made late Friday.
Earlier dispatches yesterday had re-
ported the Russians formally with
drawing from the meetings and sus-
SLAMS conferred and the new move to-
day was apparently the result of that
meeting OF the Russian delegates.
The Russians willingness to con-
tinue at Brest-Litovsk puts complete
responsibility on the Germans. Rather
than make any concessions, the Ger
mans sought 10 cover up by the pre-
text that because they would not
transfer the negotiations to Stock
holm, all peace discussions were ter
minated.
No Justification.
Further dispatches from Brest-
Litovsk today quoted Trotsky as in
Sisting that there was no justification
for the German fears that there could
be allied interference with any nego-
tiations conducted on neutral soil. but
tss voicing his desire for continuance
Of the discussions. Delegate Bolubo-
-1ryischI from Ukrainia, was declared

attitude toward the negotiations until

mas gifts. aggrogating about 65O tons. for the oXpeditIonary forces was received on time and the thou sands of packages distributed to the men. who. true to traditional cus- tom. opened their boxes on Christ mas morning.
 The government shipped abroad for Che Christmas dinner of an Am- crican troops hundreds Of thousands of pounds of turkeys Of the best quality. purchased in the markets of thc East and refrigerated on the ships together with great quonti- ties Of cranberrics, sweet potatoes and mincemeat.
 These supplies were consigned to thc Chief Quartermaster Of the Ex- pcditonory forces in France. The last of Che several ships which trans ported Che Christmas dnucr supplies arrived safely at a port in France. According Co the chief of the em- barkation service. at Washington, there was temporary disturbance of land communication in France which delayed the distribution of 'he supplies Co the men; but they reached their destination In ample time and the cxpeditiomry forces ate turkey and cranberry sauce on Christmas day.
 Christmas TOT the Navy
 While the enlisted men of the .uayy arc daily provided with whole some food iu plenty, we'll cooked and appetizing. holiday rations are plan ned with exceptional care far in ad. vance. and this was particularly true with respect to the Christmas dinner For the first time in many years there was little or no oppor unity for the buejackets Co ob- tain leave for spending their Christ mas ut home. and extraordinary preparations were made Co insure thc best Christmas dinner that sup- plies from home markets could pro- vide for thc men of an vessels of che navy. from the battleships ot the fleet Co the smallest submarine chaser iu European waters.
 Thousands Of pounds Of fresh young turkeys were loaded aboard thc navy supply ships in ample time for distribution. The vessels Of the navy which are in home ports were no better provided than those main tamiug patrol in foreign waters. While thc former had the markets of nearby cities to draw upon for an sorts Of dclicacies. they had no greater variety nor more tempting stock of provisions from which to prepare their Christmas menu than was found on board the supply ships which carried an of the elements of wcll-balanced Christmas dinner. A fair example of what was served to Che navy men at Christmas may be had from Che following menu, which shows what was served Co enlisted men for their dinner on board one bottleship.
