AMSTERDAM, Dec, 24, A de- spatch received here from Brest- Litovsk, Russia, dated Saturday, says: "To -clay at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the peace negotiations were begun at a solemn sitting. The meeting was attended by the follow- ing delegates: Germany -Dr. Richard von Kuehl - mann, Foreign •Minister Herr von Rosenberg, Baron von Hoch, General Hoffmann, and Major Brinckrnanu, Austria -Hungary -Count Czerniu, Foreign Minister Herr von Morey, Freiherr "von Wisser, Count Collercla, Count Osaky, Field Marshal von Chisceries, Lieut. Polarny, and Major von Gluise. - Bulgaria -Minister Popoff, Former Secretary Hosseff, Postmaster -Gen- eral Stoyanovich, Colonel Gantjiff, and Dr. Anastasoff. Turkey -Former Minister of For- eg'u Affairs Nessimy Bey, Ambassa .lar Hakki, Under Foreign Secretary Hekmit Bey, and General Zekki oasha, Russia -Joffe Kamineff, Bisenko- okrosky, Karaghan Lubiuski Welt 'an Pawlowieh, Admiral Altvater, -erieral Tumorrl, Colonel Rokki, it louei Zeplett, and Captain Lipsky. "Prince Leopold of Bavaria, as coilxanailder-in-chief of the German forces in the East, welcomed the delegates, and invited Hakki Pasha, as the senior delegate, to open the conference. Hakki Pasha, after an expression of a desire for a satisfac- tory result, declared the negotiations formally open and proposed Dr. von Kuehlmann as the presiding officer. The. German Foreign Minister was unanimously elected chairman. The most important speech before the delegates was made by Dr. Rich- ard von Kuehlmann, the. German Foreign, Minister. He said: "The purpose of this memorable meeting is to terminate the war between the Central Powers and Russia and re- establish a state of peace and friend- ship. In view of the situation it will be impossible in the course of these deliberations to prepare , an instru- ment of peace elaborated in its smallest details. What I have in mind is to fix the most important principles and conditions upon which peaceful and neighborly inter- course, especially in the cultural and economic sense, can be speedily re- sumed, and also to decide upon the best means of healing the wounds caused by the war. "Our negotiations will be guided by the spirit of peaceable humanity and mutual esteem. They must take into account, on the one hand, what has become historical, in order that we may not lose our footing on the firm ground of facts, but on the other hand, they must be inspired by the great and new leading motive which has brought us here together. "It is an auspicious circumstance that the negotiations open " within =;fight of that festival which for cen- ' uries past has promised peace on iai'th, good will to men. - I enter 'iron the negotiations with the desire 'hat our work may make speedy and irosperous progress. The Russian terms include: FIRST -No compulsory annexa- tion of territory taken during the war and speedy evacuation of such, territory. - _ SECOND - That political inde- pendence shall be restored to all na- tions deprived of independence by the fortunes of war. THIRD -That •tion i t n�. a groups not independent before the, war shall de- cide by a referendum whether they shall become independent or give their allegiance to some power. FOURTH -Where mixed national- ities occupy any territory the rights of the minority shall be defended by a separate, law assuring educational freedom and administration auton- omy, ;if possible. FIFTH -No' belligerent country shall be required to pay contribu- tions, and private persons shall be compensated for losses incurred through the war from a special, fund contributed by all the belligerents on a proportionate basis. The same principles shall be applicable to col- onies as to the parent countries. The final clause of the terms pro- hibits the boycotting of one country i by another, and provides for separate customs agreements and for naval blockades not pursuing direct mili- tary objects. The delegates of the Central Powers declared their readiness to begin the examination of the Rus- sian programme. us-sianprogramme. The result of their labors will be discussed at the next sitting.

Christmas Eve Chosen to Offer Peace GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 24.- According to a report received Fri- day ,in diplomatic circles in Berne; the German representatives in neu- tral countries already have received the German Emperor's Christmas proposals for peace, which -will be divulged to the World Christmas Eve. Th.e, conditions reported in the pro- posals are: reported to be far more conciliatory than have been former documents onthe subject, but vague and elastic, and with no ,explicit de- clarations of Germany's t.errns, Naval Plant Enlarged. GENEVA, Dec, 24. -The Krupps have recently quadrupled their naval plant near Kiel, according to advices from Berlin by way of Berne to La Suisse. -This was done at the request of the German Government for the purpose of making up losses in sube W marines, which the despatcheasserts,. have been heavier thud the Ge'rnan, dmtralt' admits. ITALIANS STRiK1, HARD. Monte 'Asolone Reeaptured After' a Desperate Battle. ROME, Dec. 24. -In a succession,. of brilliant attacks throughout Fri- day and Saturday the Italians =sue- ceeded in dislodging the enemy from a great: part of Monte Asolone and driving him back more than two- thirds of a mile along a three-mile front. The enemy's occupation of Asolone was regarded as a serious menace, because it' gave him partial control of San Lorenzo Valley, lead- ing to the plain and Bassano. A determined effort was made therefore to redeem the position. The first, attack was in darkness at 2 o'clock Friday morning, when a small detachment of the 7th Infantry climbed Monte Asolone and made a furious charge on the sleeping garri- son. For a time the little band was beyond the summit, but was finally driven back by superior numbers. The main attack began at 10 o'clock •in the morning, when the Al - 1 pini and 7th Regiments advanced on a three-mile front, having Asolone as its centre. The left and centre. :,Roved straight ahead, while the right executed a turning movement which partially enveloped tiro ene.ny posi- tion on Asolone. The fighting was furious all throughthe day and into the darkness of Friday night, when the Italians' had again mastered the strategic points of Asolone, and the enemy was pushed back for'near'ly a niihe. The enemy's effort to cross the Old Piave at the nearest point to Venice has been thrown back by Italian sail- ors and merinos,. The enemy used. armed flatboats carrying' -a storming' party. The Italians: landed a party from the fleet and engaged the enemy, driving him back and sinking one of his armed boats. TURKS ARE DESPERATE. Adopt Guerrilla Tactics in Fight Against the British. LONDON, Dec. 24. --Further pro- gress by the forces of General Allen- by at two points in Palestine was re- ported in a statement ;issued Satur- day night by the War Office. The statement follows "Gen. Allenby reports that at mid- night of December 20-21 our troops, crossing the Nahr El Alija (four miles north of Jaffa on the Mediter- ranean) on rafts and light bridges, seized Khurbet, Hadrah, Sheik Mu- annis, Teer Rekket, and El Nakras. These localities are near the mouth. of the river and include commanding ground three miles north of it. They captured 305 prisoners, eleven of whom were officers, and ten machine guns. - "Other forces captured Ras Ez. Zdndy, two miles northeast ,of Beth- any, taking thirty prisoners, two machine guns and beating off three. counter-attacks. "Gen. Allenby also reported the following captures since the con_ niencement of operations: Ninety- nine inety nine guns and howitzers. with car- riages, about 400 limbers, waggons and other vehicles; 110 machine guns; more than 7,000 rifles; 18,- 500,00 rounds of small ammunition, and more than 58,000 roun,ds of guu and howitzer ammunition, besides various other stores." Since the Turks were driven out of Jerusalem they have been con- ducting guerrilla onducting-guerrilla warfare to the north and east of the city, splitting up into numerous small bodies to at- tack British outposts, to snipe pa- trols, and generally to make them- selves unpleasant, says 'Reuter's cor- respondent at Jerusalem, telegraph- ing under date of December 15. CONSCRIPTION DEFEATED. Australian Majority Against Com- pulsory Service Grows. MELBOURNE, Dec. 23. -The lat- est returns in the. voting on the refer- endum place the result as follows: For conscription, .7 9 2,0 0 0 ; against, 967,000; :majority against, 175,000. This does not include the soldiers' vote, now being counted in London. A special cable from Sydney, Aus- tralia, to The Vancouver World says:. "Premier Hughes has so fax refused to comment upon the result, but the general impression is that as soon as the result is officially announced he will tender his resignation. There has been much criticism concerning. the method in which the campaign' has been handled, and insistent de- mands are made', for a new leader of the Nationalists, Irvine' or Watt be- ing the men most prominently men ;`toned as the possibilities. 'Western ,.: 3 z vii. a so far is the only State returned a majority for con er ip.'on. In New South Wales the :3o' vote led by more than 1.36,000." An Australian correspondent, ;'riting iu The Times, says it is 'im portant that the issue ofthe referen- dum should not be misunderstood: It he says, a clash 01 opinion re- garding procedure. The antiecon- acriptionists consider that voluntary enlistment will provide sufficient, re- nforeement, and they fear that con- scription would interfere with agri- .ulture`and mining, which are essea- :,ial to the prosecution of the. war. All recognized: political parties in Australia agree that the war must be continued until victory is achieved. Swiss Reassured.: BEitN1 Switzerland, Dec. 24.-- Public opinion in France may be re- .tssured regarding the report in cir- +.ulation in that country that an .1.1istro-German offensive through ,Switzerland is in preparation, Gus- tave Adel., Foreign Minister, told the correspondent of the Paris Petit, Toutrial 'Sunday. "My sincere personal 'opinion." raid M Abor, "is that we need not-. t:ti'e the slightest fear of such an inie,npt. . Germany has other things to do on the western front than get the Swiss army on her back,and from the economic point of view Ger- many hasevery interest not to make an enemy of 'Switzerland." • THEF CO� E�RCE SiR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D., D.C,L., president CAPITAL PAID UP, $15,000,000 SIR JOHN AIRD, General Manager H.
