RUSSIA AND PEACE.
The peace negotiations between Russia and the Central Powers appear to have entrely collapsed. The Central Powers, as temporary masters of the military situation in the East, wanted peace on their own terms. This was too much for even the revolutionary .Bolsheviks. Peaco with honour was one thing, but a peace which reduced Russia to utter humiliation was quite another. The latest advice. suggests that the Central Powers propose employing military measures to enforce their demands, and a march upon Potrograd is threatened. If this thrust is given effect to. ttio Prussians may be induced to sink their own differences and put up a spirited resistance. The situation is not as encouragiaig as the Central Powers might desire. It is, on the contrary, becoming more involved every day, and tlio German hopes of a crushing blow in the West are slowly but surely being dispelled.
