Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun-(
garian foreign minister, at full sit
ting of the peace conference at Brest-
Litovsk on Thursday, said that as
Russia's allies had not replied to the
invitation, to participate in the nego-
tiations it was now question OF
separate peace between Russia and
the central powers.
Gives Reasons.
He gave reasons for not wishing to-
transfer the negotiations to neutral
territory and said that if the Russians
were animated by the same intentions
as the central powers the result of
the negotiations would be satisfactory.
If not, responsibility for war would
fall exclusively on the Russians.
Dr.. Won Kuehlmann. the German
foreign minister. said he considered
that the difficulties which had inter-
rupted the previous negotiations were
not sufficient to justify the failure OF
the peace work and presumable re-
sumption of hostillties. He said that
it was the fixed and Interchangeable
determination of the central powers
not to conduct elsewhere the peace
negotiations begun at Brest-Litovsk
Reviews Conference.
After a lengthy review of the pro-
ceedings to date, DR.. Won Kuehlmann
said he hoped they would lead to a
salutary result. His hope was based
on knowledge gained during the nego-
tiations and on the expression by the
Russian delegation OF the Russian
peoples wish for secure ard lasting
peace. He continued:
II consider that the difficulties met
with up to the time the negotiations
were interrupted were not great
enough to cause the failure OF the
peace work and presumable resump-
ton of war in the east, with its un-
foreseen consequences"
Owing to the .nonacceptance by all
the enemy powers OF those terms, DR..
Won Kuehlmann stated that document
had become null and void.

CITY PRINTING
BILLS HELD UP
BY COMPTROLLER
Bee Publishing Company Pro-
tests Against 0vercharge
by WorId,HeraId and Pay
ment is Refused.

City comptroller is holding <up
World-Herald advertising bills for
October, November and December
because of alleged overcharges.
The action of the comptrollerawas
prompted by Assistant City Attorney
De Poels opinion that fractions 81 a
square, sometimes consisting of only.
two or three lines, could not be prop-
erly charged on basis of full squares.
If an official scity notice was two
squares and three lines, for instance,
the. World-Herald is alleged to have
submitted bills for three squares.
1t is the contention of The Bee
Publishing company in formal pro-
test filed that by reason OF the. NAT
rover columns now being used by the
sWorld. Herald, its contract with the
city for official advertising has been
rendered null and void.
The Bee Files Protest.
The city clerk has received from
The Bee Publishing company a pro
test against the payment of bills
rendered by the. World-Herald for
advertising city official notices on the
basis Of charging at the rate of 4S
cents, for, fractions of Squares" also
for charging the full contract rate for
advertising which has appeared in
the narrower style Of columns re-
Gently adopted by the World-Herald.
The letter to the mayor and city
council follows: 49,.
Allegations in Complaint.
Permit US to recaii~to your atten-
ton the fact that in response to your
invitation for proposals for city ad-
vertising last July the award went
to the bid submitted on behalf of the
Omaha Evening World-Herald on the
ground that it was lower than that
submitted on behalf of the Omaha
Evening Bee.
THAT since the city. advertising has
been running in said World-Herald,
Hthe publishers Of that paper have
rendered bills demanding payment for
full square in every separate pub
lication, insisting it is entitled to 4s
cents for every single line in such
| cases and thus materially raising its
charge above the figure upon which
its bid was accepted.
Increase in Rates.
THAT still more recently said
| lWorld-Herald has again increased its
charge in excess of its bid by mar.
rowing its column by 4 per cent, and
thus shrinking its measurement sc
as to make each advertisement coun
more lines.
"Tha. by reason of these facts, the
contract of the World-Herald ha:
been by it violated and the bid of sale
paper as compared with that of The
Bee is no longer the lowest and bes
bid, but on the contrary, is higher and
more costly to the taxpayers.
"We therefore respectfully reques
and urge your honorable body to de
clare the contract for city advertising
with the World-Herald to have beer
forfeited and to make the award te

mitted."
