New York, '^ec. 3i.-On the neacs Bide of to-day's news perhaps tho most Interesting announcement v 'is that made by an important English provincial newspaper that the ?rlt |fsh government will make a serious and reasoned reply to the Austro Qerman terms of peace when thoy are offtclally "presented. Conferences on the subject will be held between Premier Lloyd-Gebrge and Premier Clemenceau of France, the British premier visiting France for this pur pose, the newpspaper declares. The Austro-Gorman peace terms referr?d to are those presented by the representative's of the central powers at the negotiations with the Russians at Bre?t Lltoysk. TheBO negotiations were Interrupted for ten days to give the entente allies op portunity to state whether they would Join in them. The principal point In tlio Austro-Gorman outline of peace terms was tho acceptance of the Russian formula for no annexa tions or Indemnities., In Petrograd Sunday tho, day was given over to peace celebrations marked by parades of Bolshevik fol lowers. Members of the German and Austrian peace delegations were spectators of tho parades. The heads of German and Austrian delegations to the Brest Litovsk conference', pr. von Kueh?mann and Count Czernln, are returning to their respective cap itals. Delayed dispatches : from Brent Litovsk indicate that while the representatives of Russia and the central powers agree on most of the peace terms, there ls difficulty In the preliminary, settlement of the question concerning German retire ment from, occupied Russian terri tory in order to give, tttfe 4fttin?L^t.# opportunity to decide their future for themselves. One Of the forts at Kronstadt, tho naval base near Petrograd, has been blown up b" explosion, according to a dispatch .eceived in London. Bess arabia and Turkestan are reported to have, declared their Independence, while fighting between tho BolBhe vikl .and their opponents ls reported to be going on in Harbin and Irkutsk, Siberia. Gen. Kaledines has been re elected hetm?n of the Don Cossacks by an overwhelming majority. Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik! for e'gn minister, is quoted as saying: \ "The German democracy looks to the -Russian revolution, Tt \p the recognition of this fact that compels, the German government to accept Russian principles as the basis for negotiations." Trptzky said the German offer was a victory for the democratic move ment generally. Austria-Hungary, he said, is on the point of revolt, and every country in Europe is feel ing the pressure of democracy fronT below. Civil Wat* In East Siberia.
