The War in Summary.

The peace situation still held the center of the stage today in public interest. Following the English Premier's clear-cut re-statement of war aims on Saturday, it was reported from a semi-official source in Paris that the allied premiers will hold a conference upon the subject of sending a formal joint reply to Germany's recent peace proposals.

Germany has definitely broken off negotiations with the Bolsheviki envoys at Brest-Litovsk but according to the Berlin press Germany is preparing to suggest that the peace parley be renewed with alternate meetings at Brest-Litovsk and some Russian city behind the Russian front.

The rejection by Germany of the Bolsheviki government's request that the peace conference be removed to Stockholm has been followed by increased activity by the Bolsheviki war office at Petrograd. Cannonading is the chief role on various battle fronts.
