GERMANS FACE BREAK IN CRISIS
GERMANY'S political ciisis oer the peace situation hsa leached a
stage so acute that an open break between the political Goein
ment and the high nimy uommnml is faced. 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
