I'nder l.enine and Trotzky a armistie was brought about on a Itussian fronts on December 4. an peace negotiations with the centri powers were opened at Brest - Litovs1 on December L'3. The central empire agreed to adhere to the general prir ciples of annexations, no indemnitit and self determination of peoples an there was held open to the entenl powers the opportunity of joining I the negotiations and have them lea up to a general peace. No favor wa found for this proposition among th allied nations, however, the good fait of the central nations in particular i making this offer being doubted. Thl doubt was Inter found by the Hussion themselves to tie well founded. Notwithstanding this, however, th negotiations were continued.

The t'krain opened separate negotiations with th central powers ami these culminate last Saturday in the signing of a penc agreement. Whether the culmination of th Ukrainian negotiations in n peac treaty was the determining factor i inducing the Bolshevikl to declare th state of war at an end is not at a clear as yet. It has been made fairly clear, how ever, that U.ermany had no Idea c yielding to the Bolshevikl on th uuestion of evacuation of Russia occu pied territory which had been th sticking point in the negotiations, an that she was preparing virtually to ig nore the Bolsheviki as long as sli could make peace with the Ukrain and secure the opening of the frontlet to the rich grnio growing province controlled even nominally by th Ukrainians.
