AM8TKRDAM, Feb. ll.Judglng
from the, latest Indications In thu
German press, much dissatisfaction
and suspicion have been aroused by
th latest move of Foreign Minister
Trotzky. Important political and
military leaders are said to be con
ferring busily to find the best solu
tion to the puzzle. All German, new.-
papers note the factT that three hours
after a message Was sent out an-

another Russian message was Ibbuc I
ordorlng that circulation of tbl.i

suggested 4hat, this Indicates that
the Uolshevlkl foverHjant no long
er thinks of adhering .to tfts declara
tion of Foreign Minister Trotzky.
Kham 31 aneuver Stutftecteil.
The Zeltung Am Mittag goes f.o
far as to say that there are proof!
that Trotzky's promise of a Russian
demobilization U a sham maneuver.
It declares that reliable reports rep
resent the llolshlvlkl as energetical
ly forming a red -guard army out of
the remnant of the Russian arm;.
in the hope of raising a million men
to establish Rolsbevlkl power In tho
border states.- "
The Kreuz Zeltung of Berlin on
Tuesday declared "on reliable infor
mation" that Trotzky's proposal la
no circumstances Is to be regard e l
as a ieace offer, while It is pointe l
cut by other'papera that the Russian
.war theater- was mentioned' especial-'
ly in the official army report of Tu 3
day., -
1 1 una Want Peace Pact.
-A Berlin telegram to the Kol
nlsche Volks Zeltung- of Wedneslay
says: - ., .
- "The government is not willing to
continue relations with Russia oti
any basis whatsoever unless tbo
present Russian government signs a
regular peace treaty. As. however,
It -must, be recklned, for the present
at any rate, that Trotzky does rot
think of signing any :'" formulated
peace declaration, a situation is cre
ated which makes necessary a thor
ough discussion between the givern- .
ment and the supremo army co..i
tnand." . ' .
The corresiiondent in en apparent
ly inspired passage, adds: .
"The chsncellor Is resolved under
no circumstances to conduct further
negotiations In any neutral centt-r
and It will be the affair of the cen
tral powers to determine where sura
negotiation! may best be held. Th
recal of jthe economic commission
from Ketrograd Is under considera
tion. . . - ''
Prisoner Exchange Wantenl.
"On" the other hand, it is evident!
realized that the question of the bi t
army ef Austro-Gertnan prisoner of
war in Hanslan. territory still eon
trolled by Petrograd cannot be over
looked' A telegram from Vienna to the
Tag) I sc he Rundrhan says:
vit is pointed out in well Inform
ed quarters that the confusion an 1
uncertainty of - internal conditions
tn Russia demand that the central
powers adopt a cautious and wait
ing attitude, and that In pt of the
absence of a formal conclusion cf
peace, there be no hindrance to th3
exchange of prisoners. "
A dispatch from Brest-Litovsk re
ceived fa Amsterdam Monday said
that Russia had declared the stat9
of war to be at an end and that the
demobilization of the Russian ar
mies on all fronts had been ordered.
Rnssla,-lt -was added, did not slsn
a formal peace treaty with the cen
tral powers.
It is indicated in the above dis
patch that Foreign Minister Trotzky
.may have .made further proposals to
the. central powers. Ir such is the
case, no report concerning it has
Leen received in this country.
There have been no direct dis
patches from .Petroprad . for several
days.i A Russian official message

that demobilization bad been order
