Intensity in France and Belgium (Associated Press ,War Summary) - Raids of growing intensity and frequency on the Franco-Belgian front are furnishing, the chief fea tures of military interest, particu larly in view of the increasing de gree of American participation in the fighting. Larger issues, how ever, are involved in the Russian situation, the uncertainties of wBclr are giving rise to manifold military and political complica tions. Parleys Apparently Broken Off. The peace negotiations between the Bolshevik! and the Germans seezm ; to t have been broken oft. Manifestly, at any rate, there is developing a grow ing measure of belligerency among the Russian proletariat who, with, th safe ty of the revolution as a rallying cry, are reported to be responding from all sides to support it. Rumania Replies Negatively. Likewise the peace negotiations be tween Rumania .and the Central powers- are r epor ted, nr unofficial i advices from Berlin to have failed. Thr un satisfactory reply of the Rumanian king is said to have seen responsible for the break. A semi-official Berlin statement, however, says the Germans ? nd Austrian representatives have not left Bucharest where "the sessions were held. .. . Germans Moving on Petrograd. The German advance Into the in terior of Russia is in full swing again. with columns reported moving toward mrograd from Pskov, and pushing northeast along the railway from Po dolsk with the object "of cutting the 3Ioscow-Petrograd railway at Bologie, midway between the two cities and starving, out Pftrograd by shutting off its supplies. - " . - - Germans Occupy Kiev. In the south, the Germans have. se cured their immediate obiectlve In the -Ukraine by occupying Kiev, the capital oi me republic, after a little more than a 10-day march through the country .on the 200-milex route east from the former fighting front. The" Germans reports do not indicate what price in casualties the Bolshevik! exacted for the urrender of Kiev, which they had captured from the Ukrainian Rada's supporters February 8 with reported casualties for both sides 4,000 killed and 7,000 wounded. Presumably 'the rada which negotiated the separate peace between the central powers and the Ukraine at Brest-Litovsk will be speedily reinstated in the captured city.

All of the - countries that sell corn also have , large quantities ' of wheat for sale, and tonnage heretofore used for. corn shipments will be de voted to moving wheat. In its commercial agreement . with Switzerland, signed some months . ago, the United States promised to ship that nation a monthly supply of 30,000 tons of wheat.. The schedule. has not been carried out, partly because 'of-, the wheat shortage here and partly be cause of the difficulties of transport.- " Steamers to carry wheat to Switzer land finally; have been obtained from the northern European neutrals who at first" refused to furnish ves&sis, even though the German government has es tablished safety lanes leading to Cette, the Swiss free port in France, - At .one-. time it, looked es if the.
