British Labor Party Backs BoIsheviki
Peace Terms.

London, Jan. 1G.-Yarmouth was
bombarded from the sea Monday night,
it was announced officially. About
twenty shells fell in the city. Three
persons were killed and ten injured.
The British Labor party, in a mes
sage to the Russian people, announced
that the British people accepted the
Russian principle of self-determina-
ton of peoples and no a~nnexations
for the British empire, particularly in
the Middle East, Africa and India.
The Italians have again attacked
the Austro-German front in the Monte
Asolone region and made goodly
gains of ground. They have added
materially to their b~ridgehead east of
Capo Sile, pushing back the enemy
from several trenches, which were
held by the Italians in spite of furious
counter attacks. In the hill region the
Austro-Germans offered strong resist
ance, but the Italians, in addition to
inflicting extremely heavy casualties,
captured eight officers and 2S3 men.

New York.-Secretary of State Rob-

dinner of the New York State Bar AS

aims outlined by President Wilson are
accepted by the Prussian government
the war must 90 on. "We are in this
war as a republic to the end" he de-
clared emphatically, and brought the
diners to their feet cheering. His ad-
dress was regarded by his hearers as
a reply to the comments in German
papers upon President Wilson's mes

aims we seek must be achieved and
will be.

OF course, each young man asked

they're for a man friend of mine."
Then each infatuated youth went

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 tn 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 We're willing to
negotiate only a separate peace with
Russia.
Russia will not agree to n peace de-
vised by German imperialists; she
will fight to the bitter end against
Pruscian autocracy, and rely OF 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.

ing peace with Germany at any price,
