S2,OOO,O FIRE
 AT NORFOLK, VA,
THREE LIVES LOST, PROPERTY DAMAGE HEAVY-THiNk
 FLAMES lNCENDlARY.

Norfolk, Va.-Nearly two blocks in the heart of Norfolk's business dis. trict, including the Monticello Hotel, were destroyed, three men were killed and a score more injured in series of explosions and fires, which both the police and naval au- thorities believe here were incendiary. The fire has been checked. but still was burning fiereely in the ruins The loss is roughly estimated at more than S2,000,000.
 Three distinct explosions in as many buildings, one after the fire once virtually had been brought under con trol, led to the general belief that enemy agents were at work. Mayor Mayo practically placed the city under martial law by turning the situation over to naval officers, and some 2,500 naval stations assisted the police and home guards in maintaining order and preventing vandalism.
 Naval patrols rounded up suspicious persons, while five men were arrested as suspects. Two of these, Hugo Schmidt and H. K. Leasing, said to be Germans. were turned over to De- partment of Justice agents.
 The fire started before dawn in the old Granby Theater on Granby street, and gained rapid headway, as the fire men were handicapped by frozen fire hydrants, low water pressure and near zero temperature. It quickly spread to the Monticello Hotel and other nearby buildings in the block It was brought under control late in the day, Granby street and levelled half of the block there before being checked
 Falling floors and walls took toll of fireman and naval guards. One fire man, Charles Mccoy, was killed and seven others hurt in the collapse of an upper floor of the Monticello Hotel in the day, and two firemen and sev- eral sailors were caught in falling wall of the Lenox building. Three were brought out badly hurt, but two others were left in the debris.
 Guests from the Monticello, who were forced to flee in the biting cold of the dawn after they had watched the theater burn, were taken care of in nearby homes and hotels. As building after building went down, with them an apartment house, scores were made homeless and the national guard armory on City Hall Avenue was thrown open.
 At the armory during the day Red Cross workers and other volunteers cooked after the homeless and also supplied hot coffee and sandwiches for the naval patrols and fremen who were forced 10 seek rest from fteir gruelling work against the James.

BERLIN POSTPONES
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
DISSATISFIED WITH PROPOSALS FOR PEACE MADE BY THE
 TEUTONlC ALLIES.
FEAR ALLIED DIPLOMATS
Socialists Organ in Berlin Character izes the Situations as Extraordinar- fly Serious-Considerab Un-
 rest Is Prevalent.

New York.-The peace negotiations between the central powers and the Bolsheviki government in Russia have been temporarily suspended" by the Germans.
 From the meager advices received. it appears the rock upon which con tinuation of the pourparlers split was the demand of the Russians that the conference be resumed at Stockholm instead of at Brest-Litovsk. Dissat- isfied with the proposals for peace made by the Teutonic allies, before the recess of the Brest-Litovsk con ference, Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevild foreign minister, has been insistent on the deliberations being held on neutral soil instead of at the German headquarters. The Germans had been equally as firm in their deter imitation not to treat with the Rus sians at any other place than Brest- Litovsk.
 German advices were that the Boi- sheviki delegates on finding that the representatives of the Teutonic allies were at Brest-Iitovsk awaiting them, had started for this town, but nothing has come through to show that these had any foundation in fact The de cision of the Germans to discontinue the sittings were arrived at during a crown council held in Berlin, which was attended by Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General von Luden. dorff, first quartermaster general.
 A belated dispatch from Berlin gives as the reason for the refusal of the Germans to consider Stockholm ! place where peace might be advan- tageously discussed the fear that Brit ish, French and American diplomats in the Swedish capital would by in- trigue render all endeavors futile
 Dispatches from Berlin indicate that although the Reichstag parties in the main are supporting the gov ernment considerable political unrest is prevalent and that strong efforts az being made to hold the Socialists in line. The Socialists organ in Der lin characterizes the situation as ex- traordinarily serious.
 Although the weather continues cold and much snow lies on the gronud in northern France there has been considerable activity by the infantry in the Arras sector in Flanders and on the eastern part of the front along the Moselle river Near Bullecourt the British have recaptured in coun- ter-attack the sap taken from them by the Germans. There were inter- mittent artillery duels along the en- tire battle front.
 In the Italian theater the big guns of both sides are hammering away at opposing positions in the hills and on the lower reaches of the Piave river Several attempts by the Austro-Ger- mans to make headway with small de- tachments between the Brenta and the Piave rivers were repulsed.
