This peace, important or otherwise as
events may show. is the first to be
signed by any of the belligerents.
How far the Teuton plan may prove
successful seems to depend upon the
measure of control the Rada has over
the territory of the so-called Ukrain-
ian republic, which embraces rich
grain growing lands. Such control is
hotly. disputed by the Bolsheviki, who
