The decision now rests with the Kaiser, who is suid to side with the militniists. The German luler is holding long conferences with membeis of the Geneial Staff, nnd a definite announcement of his stand, which may decide the fate of th Hohen7ollern dynasty', is expected soon. Leon Trotsky, the llolsheik Koieign Minister, has ni lived at Blest Litovsk nnd the peace negotiations will be iesumed today at that place, according to an Amstcidam dispatch. If this is Hue it means that the Bolsheviki have leceded from their demand that the parley be transfcued to Stockholm and that the Geimans have won a diplomatic victory that may have an important effect upon the political situation within the empire. Copenhagen advices decline that the Get man peace envoys at Biest-Litov.sk nie bringing presume to bear upon the Petiogtad Government by tiying to reach a sepaiutc agreement with the Ukiainian delegates. Thus fac all dispatches filleting thtough fiom Get many show that the attitude of the press is entirely hostile to Lloyd Geoige's decima tion of peace teims, but it is believed yet too early to deteimme the exact effect of the British Premier speech on Geiman opinion BIG TEUTON BLOW DUE, BAKER SAYS Weekly Review Declares Foe's Greatest Assault Is Impending LONG IN PREPARATION WASHINGTON Jan 8 A hlKaiitk (Jerman thrust on the wt finnt fio'.ilhh their gieatft assault duilne tap mji Is ImiienilliiB, Sene taiv of W.i I IHUer iletlairil In his eeM milltaiv revliw toda.v In the Rieat battle.'
