No formal treaty has been made between the Russians and the Central Powers, but the Bolsbeviki government has ordered the cessation of hostilities against the Ger mans, (Ausmans, lurus and liuigarians and tiie with drawal of troops from the trenches and the fortified posi tions from the jSaltic Wea to the Roumanian frontier. Long ago the enemy forces began a withdrawal of troops from these fronts, leaving virtually only a handful there. I'eane having been effected both by the Russians and the Ukrainians with the Teutonic allies, the situation of Rou niania becomes most critical. Cut off now from their allies, the Roumanians are appaorutiy forced by absolute neces sity to make a separate peace or to be overrun by superior armies. Nothing lias' transpired to indicate whether a new Roumanian cabinet has been formed since the Rou manian cabinet resigned Friday, or whether any replyhas been made to tho uhimatiun of the Central Powers that peace negotiations be immediately started. On various battlefronts operations by small patrols and artillery duels are in progress. The enemy forces bombarded several positions on the Italian fronts.

Accept No German Made Peace WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. President Wilson in his address before the joint session of Congress today cleared the atmosphere of confusion in. regard to the peace speeches of the German chancellor and the Austrian for eign minister. He made it clear that there would be accepted no German-made peace based on the desires of ,; the military masters of Germany, but that the United;! States would continue to fight until it bad won a peace J based upon the principles of justice. He said that Czernin, S the Austrian minister, had employed a very friendly tone ! and seemed to see the fundamentals of peace with clear I eves and would probablv have gone verv much further if." he bad not been embarrassed with Austrian alliances and dependence upon Germany. Members of Congress did not regard President Wil son's speech as a peace message but as notice to the Central Powers that the United States would not be turned aside from the object for which it was fighting, and they re garded it as a warning to Congress and the people that the progress of the war would not be interfered with by the misleading and equivocal utterances of Teutonic statesmen. His address was prepared after conference with Colonel E. M. House, the American representative at the great inter-allied conference. He did not announce his coining in advance, only giving sufficient notice to prepare for the joint session, which was held in the House. After his address he was warmly congratulated by members of both houses, without regard to party. o 8-Hour Law Evasion Charged WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 Charges made by represen tatives of the other brotherhoods that the railroads were trying to evade and discredit the operation of the eight honr law were supplemented today by Timothy O'SIiea, acting president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men, Ei'ginemon and Hostlers, at today's hearing of the Railroad Wage Commission. "We want time and one half for overtime," said Mr. O'Shca. "computed on a minute basis. I think I can say that if this is granted as a penalty, that there will be very little overtime paid by the managements of the railroads as they will readjust the work and shifts so as to eliminate it." lie asserted that as to hostlers some roads had gone to an eight and uip' -hour basis -and some had reclassified them so that they do not come under the eight-hour law.
