Germany Removes Mask.
The rest is comparatively recent his
tory. Under Lenine and Trotzky an
armistice was brought about on all
Russian fronts Dec. 4. The peace ne.
gotiations were opened with the central
powers on Dec. %. The central en-
pires agreed to adhere to the principle
of no annexations and no indemnity,
and there was held open to the entente
powers an invitation to join In the
negotiations.
No favor was found for this 0ropo-
sition among the allied nations. how
ever. the go4i faith Of the Germans
in particular in making chis offer be-
ing doubted. This doubt later was
found by the Russians themselves to
be we'll founded and Germany was
accused by Trotzky of playing false.
Notwithstanding this. however, the
negotiations were continued. Mean
while Russia was fast splitting up
District after district declared its in
dependence, Finland and Poland be-
ing notable examples. The Ukraine
opened separate peace negotiations. re-
sulting last Saturday in the signing OF
an agreement. Apparently Germany
and her allies saw an opening in this
to force a peace on Russia.
Influence Of Ukrainian Pact.
Whether the elimination OF the
Ukrainian negotiations in peace
treaty was the determining factor in
inducing the bolsheviki to declare the
state Of war ended is not at all clear
as yet. The advices from toth Rus
sia and Germany regarding the latest
stages Of the negotiations with Trotzky
and his fellow delegates to the confer
ence have been extremely meager.
Some important decision regarding
the situation in the east was reached
by the German rulers at a recent crown
council and it may be the effect OF this
unrevealed determination that has
shown itself in the parlcying OF the
last few days.
1t has been made clear, however. that
Germany had no idea Of yielding to
the bolsheviki on the question Of evac-
uating occupied Russian territory and
she was preparing to ignore the bol-
sheviki as long Is she could make
peace with the Ukraine and secure the
opening Of the frontiers to the rich
grain colonies.

History Of Russia's struooIe.

Petrograd last November, and almost

with the central powers.
The authority Of this government

powers have assured cessation Of hos

a peace with the Ukraine and isolating
Roumania.
Altho cutting little figure In the war
for year past, Russia's great, indeed
vital, part in the conflict comes forcibly
to mind as the circumstances leading
up to her exit are reviewed.
Becoming belligerent in August.

armies, overrunning Austrian territory

Carpathians and threatening an inva-

It took the bulk OF the Austrian
armies and large proportion of Ger
