Amsterdam Jan 1.-THE Russo
German peace conferences at Brest-
Litovsk have been terminated. The
sittings were suspended when the
Germans flatly refused to transfer ne
gotiations to neutral soil. Bolshevik
Foreign Minister Trotzky himself
moved the conclusion of the meeting.
The German delegates formally an
nounced that all plans for a general
peace meeting were considered as
definitely off by the central powers,
because of thu failure of the entente
powers to respond within ten days to
the invitation to participate. Count
Czernin, Austrian foreign minister,
formally announced that henceforth
the central powers were willing to
negotiate only a separate peace with
Russia
Russia will not agree to a peace de-
vised by German imperialists; she
will fight to the bitter end against
PrusGian autocracy, and rely on the
great plain people of the central pow
ers to rise up and aid in international
peace" Trotzky is reported to have
told the conference as he left.
