RUSSIANS THREATEN TO FIGHT
Bolsheviki Eeclare Against German
Annexationist Plans and Want
to Resume the War.
Trotzky's stand. Apparently adding
to the crisis is the refusal of the Ger
mans to transfer the adjourned meet
ing cf the peace conference from
Brest-Litovsk to Stockholm.
The virtual collapse of the nego
tiations between the central powers
and the Russian bolsheviki for an
early peace settlement and the pos
sibility that hostilities again may be
resumed by the Russians on the east
ern front, even though with only s
comparatively small army, have caus
ed surprise and perturbation in Ber
lin and Vienna.
Realizing the seriousness of the
situation the German and Austrian
emperors have conferred with their
chiefs of state and the German and
Austro-Hungarlan foreign ministers
who attended the peace negotiations
at Brest Litovsk, have been sent back
there poet haste, probably in an at
tempt to moderate the situation.
. German' Socialists Protest.
Not alone are Leon Trotzky, the
bolsheviki foreign minister, and the
other leaders of the counter revolu
tion in Russia dissatisfied with the
terms of the peace proposals of the
central powers, but the heads of the
German socialist factions also have
expressed their antagonism to those
sections which call for the retention
of Poland, Litbunia. Courland and
other territory now in possession of
the invaders. s
Trotzky, as the mouthpiece of the
bolsheviki, has announced that the
Russian workers will not accept the
peace proposals which he terms as
"hypocritical." He asserted that if
the central powers did not agree to
the free destiny of the Polish and
Lettish nations it would be urgently
necessary to defend the Russian
revolution.
The central committee of the coun
cil of workmen and soldiers' dele-;
gates, in a resolution,
Teutons Leave for Brest-Litovsk
London, Jan. 3. Notwithstanding
the unfavorable reception of their
proposals by the bolsheviki, and the
Russian suggestion that the nego
tatiens be continued in a neutral
country, preferably at Stockholm,
the delegates of the central powers
are returning to Brest-LItovpk oa
the assumption that the conference
will resume its sessions at the ap
pointed time.
Count Czernln, the Austro-IIungar-
au foreign minister, departed from
,'ienna this morning, accompanied
.y a large staff of diplomats. The
Turkish delegation set out from Con
stantinople on Tuesday intending to
visit Berlin on their way to Bref-i-Litovsk.
The Petrograd News Agency is
quoted in a Central News dispatch
from Copenhagen to the effect that
the Russian delegation declared in
declining to accept the Cerman peaie
proposals that they were likely to
deprive of its value the initiative
German reply laying down a baais
jt discussion the basks of no annexa
tions or indemnities. The Russians
described as ridiculous that there al
ready had been a free expression of
the will of the people in the occu
pied territories.
Kuehlmann Explains.
retrograd, Jan. 3. Replying to
the Russian protest, the German for
eign minister. Dr. von Kuehlmann,
has confirmed Germany's refusal to
issue passports to Hugo Haase, Geo.
Ledbour and Carl Kautsky, social
ists, who desired to go to Stockholm
to attend an unofficial peace con
ference. Dr. von Kuehlmann stated,
this refusal should not bo interpret
ed as an act in opposition to the
movement for peace.
The German government believed,
he said, that the progress of peace
negotiations might be hindered by
an unofficial conference held simul
taneously with the ofEcIal negotiations.
