This declaration, coupled with the gtatement by Chancellor Ton Hertr ling before the main committee of the Reichstag yesterday' that Ger many, too, hopes to reach a "good conclusion" with the Russian dele gates at Brest-Yi tovsk . indicates com plete confidence on the tart of the Central Powers as to the, final suc cess of their separate Russian plana. In view of the demands of the -German delegates that Courland and the Baltic provinces be given np by Rus sia and the declaration of Count Czer nin that the dual monarchy - wilT de mand nn 9nTioT9ttnr)B'niiii -4rufam. nities, a question of pplicy .is raised that enshrouds further negotiations, at Brest-Litovsk in doubt. . ,-. . - On the question of. a general i?eace.

Trotiky declared that he was- glad pow the Central Powers were 'speak Ing frarikly, stating, that General Huff- man's condition proved that the real aims were bullded on quite a different level to the principles recognized on December 25, and that real or last ing peace was only possible on the actual , principle of self-deffriltion. ' It is clearVTrottky declared! "that the decision could have been reached Jong ago regarding peace aims, if the Central Powers had-not stated their aims differently from those expressed by General. Hoffman." " ' ,Dr. Von - Keulhmann, German For eign Minister, replied ;to Trotzky, de claring in principle that General Hoff man's alms-were the same as those advanced on Christmas. Throughout the negotiations, he said, the eGrmans had kept in view the ethnological boundaries, but also, the actual bound- daries of the old Russian Empire. He said that the Central Powers Intended to permit free selPdefinitipn, scoffing at vthe theory that' the presence of troops would prevent -this: taegarding" evacuation, - Br. Keuhl- mann said that it must . be taken up with the newly-born self-defined gov ernments. "If General Hoffman expresses the terms -more strongly," said Dr. Von Keuhlmann, "it is because a soldier always oxpresses stronger language than diplomats. ' But It must not -be deduced from this that 4here is any dissension between us regarding the principles which are 'one whole and well thought out." Dr. Keuhlmann ,! consented to Trot2kys request for a postponement of the conference, declaring however, that it would "be much pleasariter if they could finish the negotiations now as the", former recess brought about many 'misunderstandings. - NORFPPING IS NOT RELIEVED m Norfolk, V.a.an.25 of the cold weather -and Ice conditions, shipping here has not . been: relieved to- any, extent, by the order of Dr. Garfield. .
