If she has heard the Brunswick she appreciates the superiority of the Brunswick's tonal quality. That is the chief consideration in selecting a phonograph. The Brunswick has features that place it far ahead of any other phonograph for purity and quality of tone. &or is it lacking in any of the other refinements that go to inake up a high-class instrument. And, in addition, the Ultona permits the playing of all makes of records on the Brunswick. V .

' - (By Associated Press) ' TOBPAT, Esthonla. Dec 16 Unless some unforseen development occur, peace between Esthonla and soviet Russia probably will be an accomplished fact in the near future. Despite denials there seemingly is no aouot that the object of the negotiations which have been going on dally Is not merely an armistice, but has In view a full peace along the general lines framed by the Bolshevik! The present main aim of the soviet seems to be to follow up tbe defeat of Gener al Yuoenitch by making it Impossible for blm or any other military leader to organise a new campaign in Esthonlan territory against soviet Russia. For weeks the Bolshevikl have been concentrating troops on the Narva front where extremely heavy attacks now are In progress- and the fear is not concealed that Esthonla may be occupied If that -country- refuses to conclude a peace. On the other band the Indications seem to be that powerful entente influences are operating to prevent a peace so that Esthonla, as a well Informed observer puts it, is "between the devil, in the guise of the Bolshevikl, and the deep blue sea with its blockading squadron." Bull another factor to which the Esthonian government is responsive Is tbe pressure of public sentiment for a cessation of hostilities. Esthonla is fighting only- defensively. . and -the army Is eager to be relieved of the ttrain and to return to civilian work. There Is danger that If negotiations are broken with the Bolshevikl. the radical element of the population will make trouble. Powers Undetermined. It is difficult to ascertain the attitude of the allies toward the Dorpat conference, especially that of Great Britain, to which more than any other power, Esthonla looks for guidance. The belief seems to prevail among observers here that Great Britain is not wholly opposed to the negotiations, but that she prefers that Esthonla await the outcome of the discussion in Copenhagen before definitely committing herself. For that reason the representatives of the allies in Esthonla are doing their utmost to prolong the conference and confine the discussion to an armistice. It seems apparent however that France is strenuously trying to prevent Esthonla from making any kind of an agreement with the Bolshevikl. It Is - persistently . reported - that France Is preparing to send six divisions of troops to the Baltio for a huge offensive against Petrograd, which will be assisted by General Mannerheim with his Finnish volunteers and Colonel Avaloff-Bermondt's forces using what Is left of Yudenitch s army and Its equipment as a nucleus of the enterprise.
