At the same time, Brest-Litovsk dispatches, coming by way of Amsterdam, report that Trotsky has receded from his demand that the negotiations between the Holsheviki and the Central Powers be transferred to neutral soil. The leason ifiven for this change of front is that the Holsheviki arc anxious not to fjive the Germans nny pretext' foi uroakinK off negotiations. Dispatches from Copenhagen declare that the German envoys at Brost-Litovsk will now present separate peace terms picpared along "militaiistic liiu ." If this is true, it would indicate that the Pan-Get mans feel themselves strong enough to go ahead with their program w ithout i egard for the attitude of the Liberal elc ments. Washington expects a icpiy fiom Germnny to the terms enunciated by President Wilson and Lloyd George within n month at the outside.
