"In this connection the presence of any troops, apart from National or local militia, in the territories which are voting shall not be permissible un til this question is decided. The gov ernment of these regions will remain In the hands of representatives of the local populations, elected democratical ly. The date of evacuation and other circumstances and the commencement of demobilization of the army Is to be fixed by a special military commis sion. Germany then proposed the following form for the first articles of a prelimi nary treaty which is to be concluded: First Russia and Germany are to declare the state of war at an end. Both, nations are resolved o live to gether in the future in peace and friendship, on condition of complete reciprocity. Germany will be ready, as soon as peace la concluded with Russia and the demobilization, of the Russian armies has been accomplished, to evac uate her present positions in occupied Russian territory Insofar as no differ ent inferences result from, article two.

Austrian Statement Similar. The Austrian delegation mad a simi lar statement. The Russian delegation took cog nizance of (hese statements and set forth its standpoint as follows: "Our standpoint is that only such manifestation of will can be regarded as a de facto expression of the will of the people as results from a free vote taken in the districts In question, with the complete absence of foreign troops. We therefore propose, and must Insist thereon, that a clearer and more pre cise formulation of this point be made. . We consent, however, to the appoint ment of a special commission for the examination of technical conditions for the realization of such referendum, and also for the fixing of a definite time for evacuation. ' Hope of Fall Agreement Expressed. "In view of the course which, the ne gotiations hitherto have taken, it may be stated with satisfaction that, re garding settlement of the most Import ant questions, the views of the repre sented powers tally in many points, while regarding- others the views ap proach each other to such an extent that hope for arriving at any agree ment on the latter points is well founded." A Petrograd dispatch of Thursday said ,the peace negotiations had been postponed for 10 days to give the en tente nations opportunity to Indicate whether they would participate.

MANNHEIM RAID RETOLD BRITISH AIRPLAJfES DROP BOMBS FROM HElCrHT OF 13,000 FEET. Two Tana of Explosives Descend Railway Stations and Munitions Factories. LONDON, Dec. 30 An official state ment concerning the recent attack by British airmen on the city of Mann helm says: "Two of our formations, totaling 10 machines, crossed the line at a height of 9000 feet, between 10 and 10:15 o'clock In the morning, and arrived over their objective almost simultaneously. In spite of a heavy and accurate anti aircraft gunfire, they dropped their bombs from a height of over 13.000 feet. Sixteen hundred and twelve pounds of bombs and 2230 pounds cf bombs were dropped by the respective groups. Bursts were observed in the main station in Ludwlgshafen and at several munitions factories between Mvr.denheim and- Rheingoinhelm. The buitts were confirmed by photographs taken at the time. "Two formations of enemy airplanes were encountered, totaling 11 machines, only five of which reached the height of our bombing machines. These did not attempt to attack at close range. "The anti-aircraft defenses around Mannheim appeared to be strong and brought down one of our machines, which was last seen descending under control. In addition, one of our ob servers was wounded, but reached home safely. Haze and mist added to the difficulties of the operations, some of the towns in the Rhine Valley being completely covered."

CLOUD APPEARS 111 PROHIBITION SKY Paragraphs That Perplex Are Disclosed in "Dry" Amendment. BORAH VOICES THIS DOUBT Conditions - Imposed by Congress Suggest That Submission of Meas ure In Form Adopted Is Lack ing ' in Legal Validity. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 30. Now that Congress has "submitted" the prohibition consti tutional amendments to the states for ratification, professional advocates of a dry Nation are beginning to wonder whether they have not, after all, been gold-bricked by the Senate and House of- Representatives. Thy are wonder ing whether, in fact, there has been a submission that will stand the test. The resolution which passed the Sen ate last session and passed the House just before the holiday recess contains two unusual paragraphs; one providing that the amendment shall become valid one year after ratification, the other providing that the amendment shall be "inoperative unless It shall have been ratified . . . within seven years." When the Senate was about to agree to the House amendments to the pro hibition amendment resolution. Senator Borah, of Idaho, a "dry" of unques tioned loyalty, voiced doubt as to the purpose of these unusual provisions, and at the same time raised the ques tion as to the effect they may have upon the submission. Language Raises Donbt. As to the requirement that the dry amendment shall become effective one year after ratification. Senator Borah said : "This language is either wholly at--absolutely surplusage and has no busi ness here, or else it will prevent any real sumisslon of the question to the states. It can do no good, and it may do much harm." He went on to point out that the Constitution sets forth in Unmistakable language when a provision of the Con stitution shall go into effect, and main tained that it is not within the power of Congress, by incorporating a differ ent provision in a proposed amendment. to change the law of the land. He declared the one-year clause to be out of harmony with the Constitution, add ing: "I do not know what its effect will be, . but It might endanger the whole proceedings. As to the provision requiring ratifi cation of the prohibition amendment within seven years, otherwise decreeing that it shall be "inoperative," 'Senator Borah said: "We have no power by this method to limit the time within which this amendment shall be rati fied." Force of Submission Doubted. He expressed grave doubt as to whether submission of the amendment In the form adopted by Congress was really a submission at all. It is his Judgment that once the amendment goes to the states,, they can ratify It at any time they see fit, and when rat ified by three-fourths of the states it becomes operative. Borah's doubt was whether Congress, by reason of the two unusual clauses, had actually and rightfully submitted anything, and feared that the condi tions imposed gave the "wets" an op portunity to go into court and get & ruling to the effect that Congress, not having proceeded In accordance with the method laid down In the Constitu tion, had in effect submitted nothing for ratification. After a week or two of pondering, the professional lobbyists for the pro hibition cause are coming to the Borah way of thinking and are now greatly perturbed for fear that their supposed recent victory may, after all. be no vic tory at all and that they may be ob liged to go back to the beginning and make their fight all over again. Wets Will Act Promptly. If Senator Borah's fears are well grounded, the "weta" will not be slow in taking advantage of a situation Congress has created; If, on technical grounds, they can get a ruling that no prohibition amendment has been sub mitted to the states, they will not over look that chance. The prevailing uncertainty is not destined to continue long not longer than it takes the courts to pass on a highly technical question of constitu tional lam CARRIERS ASK MORE WAGES Postal Employes Listen to Denun ciation of Postmaster-General. MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 30. Resolutions asking for a wage increase of 25 per cent were adopted at a meeting of Minneapolis postoffice employes here last night. Nearly 600 clerks and car riers attended despite efforts to keep them away because Mayor Thomas Van Lear was scheduled to make an address. Mayor Van Lear in his address de nounced Postmaster-General Burleson. "It seems that when the President se lects a Postmaster-General, he does it with his eyes closed1," said the Mayor. "It is time, that something' be done to open the eyes of the people to the shortcomings of the head of the Post- office Department, so that this gentle man of the 17th century may be re moved."
