(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) That terms of peace have been of- fered Great Britain by Germany pos- | sibly inferred from several significant | statements’ given out Friday. Lord; Robert Cecil, British minister of block- ade, when asked if. proposals “had been received for a peace at the ex- pense of Russia” answered that “no such proposals are being considered or will be considered.” A little earlier assaying that “the entente has shown nN unresponsive attitude toward Ger- Many’s peace intentions and. the great German offensive must, therefore go on.” Later in the day General Von Ludendorf, the German quartermaster general, was reported as saying: “Since the .enemy is: not inclined to make peace, they will have to fight, and this fight will, of course be ‘the most tremendous of the whole war.” “We. Are Stronger” General Von Ludendorf continued: “Weare stronger than the eneny as regards men, materigl, aerial fore-| es, tanks. Everything, in ‘fact, of which he boasted is standing in read- iness on our side in the greatest abundance.” It is admitted that offers of peace have been made to Serbia by Austria- Hungary and Bulgaria but it is stated that Serbia has absolptely refused to! consider them. Russ Ratification ‘Not Certain The. treaty of peace submitted by Germany to Russia at Brest-Litovsk, central powers, has either been rati- fied by the all-Russian congress of _at the Van Horn Hotel: Soviets, or its ratification apparently is. imminent. Reports: from Moscow are not clear on the situation, but it seems certain that the Bolsheviki ele ment has voted by-a:large majority to affirm the treaty. As this element dom inates the congress, the hard terms will doubtless be accepted, notwith standing reports that Leon Trotzky the mouthpiece of the Bolsheviki, is opposed to their provisions and_is will ing to try to reorganize the Russiar army to.fight the German invaders. * Holland “Between the Devil and—’ Holland stands: in a perilious situa tion, according to the.

House, has held ‘its first meeting and announc- es that it’ will organife allied shipping so-that tohnage may be used in the most effective manner. ‘French Advance Spirited fighting is reported along the. French front. In the Champagne and Lorraine sectors. the French have have won local. successes. German of ficial reports admit the loss of ground in Champagne. before heavy forces of forces of the French, who are appar- ently able to hold the ground they, haye gained. Along the British front the artillery fire has grown in intensity in many sectors and there have been lively engagements between raiding parties.
