clusion'' with the Russian delegates at
rest-Litovsk indicates complete con-
fdence on the part Of the central
powers as to final SUCCESS Of their
separate Russian plans. In view of
the demands of the German delegates
that Courland and the Baltic o
inces be given up by Russia, and tho
declaration OF Count Czernin that the
dual monarchy will demand no an
ton Of policy is raised that en-
shrouds further negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk in doubt.
ON the question of a general peace
Count Czernin is quoted as having
told the reichsrath that he considers
President Wilson's latest peace propo-
sitions as an approach to the' Austro-
Hungarian point OF view. While there
were several points in common, Count
Czernin said, yet there remained the
fact that Austria Hungary, as the ally
of Germany, would fight to the bitter
end in defense of her alliance. He
expressed the opinion that once the
central powers have reached peace
with Russia that the entente nations
would be forced to conclude a general
peace. despite the efforts Of their
statesmen to the contrary.
Before the main committee of the
reichstag yesterday Chancellor Won
Hertling also discussed peace with
Russia, but without making mention
of the reported demands of the Ger
man delegates for the annexation of
Courland and other territory. The
chancellor said that the negotiations
at Brcst-Litovsk had been resumed
and that he held fast to the hope that
peace would result.
Renewal of assurances OF Japan's
allegiance to her alliance with Great
Britain n the other allies has beer
made by Count Tcrauchi, the Japanese
premier. In an address at the open

that Japan held herself responsible
for the maintenance of peace in the
far cast. The Russian situation, the
premier said, was causing Japan great
anxiety and he expressed the hope
that d stable government would be
established, without further loss of
time.
Abandonment of the plan to over
run tho Venetian plains seems to have
been decided upon by the Austro-
German armies and is indicated in tho
retirement from the Piave river west
ward. due to the constantly %harrassine
attacks by the italians and thei,
