AMSTERDAM, Jan. 24.——The
Tageblatt, of Berlin, says‘an action
for the recovery of 60,000,000
marks has been brought against
Romania by a syndicate fornied
for the exportation of grain from
Romania to Germany and thence
to neutral countries. An agree-{than 1600

as the Austro-German position be-

Piave, was rendered
fFiuland, within a week, there-
ported terms stipulate.
i It is considered significant that
this ultimatum was laid down by
General Hoffman, who represents
the German army at the peace con-
ference, indicating the preponder-
ance of the military'element.
The line which the Germans are
declared to have indicated the
from the’ Gulf of Finland east of
future frontier of Russia runs
Moon Island, to Valk, west of
Miank, and south to Brest-Litovsk.
This line, taking in the Baltic
territory as a whole, represents
the limif of the' field within which
the Germans are willing to nego-
tiate with Russia. South of Brest-
Litovsk ,they insist upon discuss-
ing the settlement only with the
Ukrainians, who claim to control
this territory. The line follows
largely the present battle front
fairly closely, but extends even
beyond that front at some points.
As a bait to the Ukrainians, the
Austrians are reported to be offer-
ing to cede them the (Tholmtchina
district, which appear); to be a
corner of Russian Poland, just to
the west of Volhynia. This is to
be given to the Ukraine in case it
consents to send foodstutl's to the
Central Powers immediately on
the conclusion of peace.
It was to obtain an opportunity
for laying the ultimatum of the
Central Powers before the Russian
Soldiers’ and Workmen's bodies
that Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevik
Foreign Minister, obtained a re-
cess of thernegotiations and re.
turned to Petro rad recently. The
Germans are said to have granted
the postponement reluctantly and
to have declarcd it was the last
one to which they would consent.
