London, Feb. 1.-THE remarkable
statement that France and Great
Britain have recognized the Ukraine
republic and sent diplomatic repre-
sentatives there is contained in an OFF
cial statement sent out by the Rus
sian wireness news agency issued here
through press bureau. The state
ment occurred in the course Of a re-
port of the proceedings at the Brest-
Litovsk conference of Feb. l, at which
M. Sevruik, who apparently the new
chairman of the Ukrainian delegation,
is represented as saying that by IN
act of the Ukrainian rada on Nov. Z,
the Ukrainian republic declared that
these diplomatic representatives had
been appointed.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE govern
ment here has no knowledge Of the
report that France and Great Britain
have recognized the Ukraine republic
and sent diplomatic representatives.
The United States as a cO-belligerent
has not been consulted and officials
were inclined to doubt the report.

Enemy Calamity.

With the American Army in Franco,

wounded when an American patrol
was ambushed in No Mans land TO-
night by superior force OF Ger

One soldier, wounded through the
chest unable to talk, crawled back to
the American lines. There was no
doubt that the Americans fought gal
lantlv. but were completely overpow-
cred.
The SPOT where the encounter oc-
Cured is isolated, and reports con-
corning the casualties inflicted by
both sides are meager. Only one Amer
lean is known to escaped the trap or
the Germans, which was laid in front
of our wires.
Our artillery Immediately. laid a
barrage around the ambushing Ger

been accounted for. The infantry &C
counted for others, as it is certain the
attacked patrol fought to a finish, &C
cording to information trucking In

A big enemy patrol that has been d.

the opportunity Of joining in the me-
gotiations and have them lead up to
general peace.
No favor was found for this prop
osition among the allied nations, how
ever, the good faith of the Germans in
particular in making this offer being
doubted. This doubt was later found
by the Russians themselves to be well
founded and Germany was charged by
Trotzky with masked territorial am
billions under her speciious interpre-
tation of the doctrine OF self-determin-
alton.
Country Splits Up.
Notwithstanding this. however, the
negotiations were continued. Mean
while Russia was fast splitting up.
District after district declared its in
dependence, Finland and Ukraine be-
ing the notable examples. The Ukraine
7: opened separate negotiations with the
central powers and these eliminated
! last Saturday in the signing OF
peace agreement. The Bolsheviki have
not recognized the authority of the
Ukraine to treat for itself through the
representatives of the rada. but appar-
entity Germany and her allies saw an
opening for forcing peace through
the insertion of the Ukrainian wedge.
! Whether the elimination of the
Ukrainian negotiations in peace
treaty was the determining factor in
inducing the Bolshevjki to declare the
state of war at an end is not at all
clear as yet The advices from both
Russia and Germany regarding the
later stages of the negotiations with
Trotzky and his fellow delegates to
the conference have been extremely
Imeagre. Some important decision re-
garding the situation in the east was
! reached by the German ruleis at re-
. cent crown council and it may be the
