FAITH IN 1RoTZkY FALrERS
A Berlin telegram to the Koelnische
volkszeitung Of Wednesday says:
The government is not willing to
continue relations with Russia on any
basis whatsoever until the present
Russian government 1igns regular
peace treaty. As, however, It must be
reckoned for the present, at any rate,
that Trotzky does not think of sign
ing any formulated peace declaration,
a situation is created which makes
necessary thorough discussion be-
tween the government and the su-
preme army command"
The correspondent in an apparently
spirited message adds:
NO MORE PARLEYS
THE chancellor is resolved under
no circumstances to conduct further
negotiations in any neutral center

negotiations may best be held. The
recall of the economic commission

FRANCE EXPECTS
BIG WHEAT CROP

Paris, Feb. 14.-The condition Of
winter wheat in the department Of
France which gives the largest yields

good for a greater crop per acre than
in any year since 1914.
The spring seeding acreage will ex-
ceed that of last spring by nearly one
million. There is an equal increase
in the acreage OF winter wheat over

To give the total forces on the
allies side possibly might afford some
indication to the enemy.
Whence the initiative may come
when weather conditions permit re.
sumption Of fighting on a large scale
cannot for the time being be predicted
but; 1t appears probable that these
millions Of soldiers must again come
to close grips soon.
Comparison with boxing contest
is not exactly correct. for in the in
tervals between the rounds the armies
continue to harry each other. Ever
since the battles of Malmaison and
Cambria, minor encounters have TAX
en- place almost constantly. each side
trying to find out the weak spots Of
the other, or making feints to discover
the intentions of the opposing army.
GERMAN RAIDS FAIL
In Lorraine. in Alsace, before Yer
dun in Champagne and even around
st. Quentin the Germans have at.
tempted trench raids OF more or less
importance very frequently during the
past few weeks, sometimes with
strong artillery support, on other oc-
casions purely surprise attacks by in.
fantry units.
In all cases they have been unsuc-
cessful. while the French in their in
roads into the German lines. have gem
orally been able to carry out their en-
tire plan Of reconnaissance and have
returned to their lines only after de-
stroying the enemy's works and us
ually bringing back with them batch
OF prisoners.
FRENCH HOLD GOOD POSITION
The results of all these small com.
bats can be seen only after the gen.
eral engagement has begun. For the
present the French armies occupy
very favorable positions. AS sequel
to all the heavy lighting in the fail
they obtained possession OF numbers
of the highest points and the best OBJ
servatories and they have since held
them with the firmest of grips and
even in some places improved their
positions. There they await the con
tinuation Of the battle with the great
