Attitude of Germans
Toward Evacuation in
Russia Unclaimed

LONDON, January 17.-There was no
definite word from Berlin today throw
ing new light on the crisis In Berlin
as affecting the Brest-Litovsk peace
negotiations. and the statement of
sen. undersecretary for foreign affairs,
that no fresh instructions have been
sent to the German secretary of foreign
affairs, DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann,
would seem to indicate that there is
no intention of receding from the Ger
man attitude Of refusing to evacuate
any territory occupied in Russia.
Some of the German papers announce
that negotiations have been resumed
at Brest-Litovsk, but there Is nothing
to confirm this statement. The press
organs of both political groups in Ger
many claim victory in the Won Luz
dendorff-von Kuehlmann controversy,
from which it may be assumed that no
important change OF policy has issued
as a result Of the crown councils. 1t
these councils have been more con-
cerned in the projected new operations
in the west than with the political con-
ficts.
There appears to have been no truth
in the rumor that the imperial Ger
man chancellor, Count Won Hertling.
was Ill. The chancellor is in his usual
health and it is understood will ad-
dress the reichstag on Friday. which Is
the day the constituent assembly Is
slated to meet at Petrograd.
The Berlin Vorwaerts claims that the
crown councils in the German capital
have brought no change, especially in
the direction desired by pan-Germans
of the annexation of a considerable
portion of Poland to Prussia Vorwaerts
assumes that the controversy has been
decided on the lines of the conception
of the chancellor. who stands by his
declarations of November %.

Terrible Conditions
in Towns of Germany;
Hertling Admits Fact
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM. January 17.-Chancel.
lor Won Hertling made his first appear
ance as member Of the Prussian caki-
net in the Prussian upper house on
Tuesday to support the housing bill.
He said the conditions which had
grown up around the large German
towns and industrial centers were such
as might fill the members of the house
with serious anxiety. real pain and oc-
casional sorrow. Not only had the
maintenance of repairs to houses been
impeded and the increase of housing
facilities become almost impossible, but
the government desires to provide
homes for returning soldiers which will
be ADEQUATE and healthy.
Dr. Dernburg. speaking on the same
Dill. said that the conditions in the
large towns were terrible and must be
abolished. The decline in the number
or births had been very great and the
mortality of children under twelve
months had been still worse.
