CRISIS IN GERMANY.
COPENHAGEN, January 6. Messages from Germany indicate that an eternal crisis has resulted from the rupture of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations. The Kaiser hastily summoned the Crown Council at Belle Vue CastV* on Wednesday Hindenburg and Ludendorff garticipating in the discussion of the peace negotiation's. Meanwhile a stormy meeting was taking place between Von Kuhlraann, Foreign Minister, and the party ]eaders of the Reichstag. The conference lasted seven hours, and the leaders criticised Kuhlmann's policy. Horr Scheidemann, representing the independent Socialists, demanded that the Reichstag should meet at the earliest possible moment to enable tho people to 'control the peaco negotiations. It is anticipated that to-day's meeting of the .Reichstag's Main Committee will lead to the summoning of the Reichstag. ; The paper _ Germ&nia,' expressing the official view, is convinced that a compromise can be made with the Bolsheviks. It suggests the retention of the present Legislatives in the occupied provinces, with an extension on a wider basis where necessary.
