Ap- parently the Germans were deeply dis appointed at not being able to take part in the private conference of al- lied leaders with the Bolsheviki in an endeaVor to lay down the general lines of agreement before bringing the dis cussion into the conference commits sions, thus reducing the chances of a break.
