Oormans were transferring troops in
very large numbers and as quickly ai
possible to the western front agains.
the allies, and also the southwestern
Russian front.
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki for?

of the peace delegation to this fact
A special dispatch from Brest-Litovsb
announces the Germans were no;
ready yesterday to reply to the Rus
sian peace terms and consequent^
the meeting of the peace delegale;
was postponed until Monday after?
noon.
It is reported that the refusal ot
Germany to issue passports to the
German Socialists Hasse, Ledebour
and Kautsky, who desire to go to
Stockholm to acquaint themselve
with the Russian revolutionary con
ditions, has produced in Russia a:
impression that may hamper peac
negotiations.
Minister Trotzky has sent a tele
gram to . his delegates at Brest
Litovsk in this connection, declarin:
that if the Germans refused the!
Socialists passports this would creab
such a bad impression at Petrograi
that it will be necessnry that th
German official delegation which i
expected here Thurstiny should go t
Stockholm instead.
The Bolshevik! commissioners hav?
isued a manifesto to all Russia;
working men declaring that as th?
armistice probably will be transform
cd at an early date into a general do
mestle peace to all the European peo
pies, preparation of military equip
ment is a waste of national labor an<
funds,that, consequently, the outpu
must be stopped immediately and re
placed by the production of peac
supplies which the country needs.
The newspapers announce that
delegation from the enemy powers i
coming to Petrograd to participate ii
a conference presided over by Trot
iky to discuss the political aspects o
an eventual peace.

In Memory of Mr. Soreven Moore.
I Editor Watchman and Southron:
I have been requested by the col?
ored people of Stateburg to expres
their sympathy to the bereaved fam?
ily of Mr. Scrcven Moore, through th
columns of this paper.
When Mr. Moore was stricken a
his post of dury December 6, 1917.
when the death messenger summoned
him and carried him out of ou:
midst, not only his family and race
mourned his loss, but we. the colored
people are grief stricken. This great
reverence and love that they bort
him was shown by the number oi
{borrowing colored people that attend?
ed his funeral when his remains wen
laid to rest in the cemetery of the
Church of the Holy Cross.
To kno*y Mr. Moore was to lov<
him. He was kind to all, gencrom
and fair, and his renters were alway:
treated as gentlemen by him. The>
realize what a friend they have lost
We trust that our loss has beet
heaven's gain and that he is now
happy with his loved wife, who die(
a few years ago. We therefore ten?
der our deepest sympathy to the en?
tire family in this hour of thcii
great bereavement and recommem
them to the supreme ruler and healei
of all sorrows.
