charges Of unlawfully keeping the body

Miss Case was arrested yesterday by

posais at the 5rest.Litovsk con-

by the Teuton powers to the Russian
proposals at Brest-Litovsk says the
Russian. proposals concerning the
regions occupied by the Teuton
powers diverge to such a degree
from the view of the Teuton powers
in their present form they are not
acceptable.
Aims Too Divergent.
The statement says the Russian
proposals to not show compromis'
ing attitude and do not consider the
opposite parties on just basis. The
Teuton powers again are prepared
to give formulated expression of their
opinions and to try to find q basis
for compromise.
For the Teuton powers, as distinct
from the case with Russia, the an
nouncement adds, conclusion OF
peace with Russia has no connection
with a general peace and the Teuton
powers are compelled to continue the
war against tieir other enemies.
The assertion that the right of self
determination is an attribute of ma
tons and not of parts of nations Is
not our conception of self-determina
ton, the official statement declares
It must not be assumed that the
limits of occupation are 4 standard
for fixing the boundaries of such por
tons.

declares. do no. intend Incorporating
the territories ROW occupied by them
