NNooCNldtCu I'IcSS Sunltndcy.) After weeks of vacilation the Ger mans at last have made their de mands at the peace conference at Brest-litovsk and the Russians have declined to accede to tEcm Not withstanding the fact that the im-, perial German chancellor still holds nope for q satisfactory conclusion or the conference, the tetlns of the Germans, as enunciated by General Hoffman, one of their chief dele gates to the peace cunfert nc. so far form an insuperable barrier for the l'olshevik government, which has ex- pressed determination to carry out "a policy of no annexations and no indemnities.
