KAISER'S DILEMMA.
ARROGANCE OF PAN-Gt-RMANS
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 9. Telkgrajis from Berlin state that, though the Brest-Litovsk conference will be continued, the position of Dr. von Kuhlmann, the Foreign Minister, is considered untenable. He has lost favour with tho Kaiser, with Field-Marshal von Hirtdenburg, and with the General Staff. It is probable ho
