tv Tells Army Russia Will Not
Bend Head to German
Imperialism
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.
Further evidence of the seething I
political turmoil which has been
created in Germany by the attempted I
"interference by army heads in the
iA Dolitical government of the German t
Empire is revealed by the Frank
furter Zeitunp;, which braves the
wrath of the Potsdam cljque. The
paper attacks the Pan-Germans and
declares that politics is not the busi
ness of army leaders. The situation,
it says, is "rotten," and it is impos
sible to establish a policy which
enemies and neutrals will respect.

The Husslan peaco delegates were
taken to Drest-Lltovsk In sleighs. They

to recognize Ukralnla's Independence.
The Russians then communicated with
the Germans, suggesting that the Ukraln
