STATE HAPPENINGS.

Editor Williams of the Monroe County Citizen at Brinkley thinks sheep would be more valuable to his county than cur dogs, and he has said as much in the paper several times The other day MT Williams came to his office and found six dogs in the yard that surround it. He threw a brick at the dogs, whereupon one vi. 'cious cur rushed at him and attacked him. He kicked it off, went into his office, grabbed shotgun and took shot at the pack, whereupon the dogs dispersed. Now the question is whether the dogs were getting even for MT. Williams advocacy of sheep.

Petrograd.-In the fear that argu- ment would result in even more oner- ous terms, the Russian delegation at Brest-Litovsk has accepted all the German peace conditions and is about to sign an agreement, according to a telegram from the delegates received at the Smolny Institute. The dt,- mands already have been increased, they reported.
 The message, which was addressed to Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis ter TrotZky, follows:
 'As we anticipated, deliberations on a treaty of peace are absolutely use less, and could only make things worse in comparison with the ultima- tum of February 21. They might even assume the character of leading to the presentation of another ulti- matum.
 In view of this fact and in conse- quepce of the Gercans' refusal to cease military action until peace is signed, we have resolved to sign the treaty without discussing its contents and leave after we have attached our signatures. We, therefore, have re- quested train, expecting to sign to- day and leave afterwards,
 The most serious feature of the new demands, compared with those of February 21, is the following:
 "To detach the regions of Kara band, Kars and Batopm from Russian territory, on the pretext of the right of peoples to self-determination."
 The new territorial claims upon Russia are apparently advanced in the interest of Turkey. Batoum, t strongly fortified seaport on the Black Sea coast, in Trans-Caucasia, about 20 miles north of the border of Turkish Armenia, was one of the cities eeded by Turkey to Russia af- ter the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 1878. Kars, also in Trans Caucasia, 105 miles northeast of ErZerum, in Tukish Armenia, has been in dispute between the Turks and the Russians for nearly century, and finally was ceded to Russia at the same time as was Batoum. The other region men toned probably is that of Karabagh, Trans. .Caucasia, lying to the east of the Kars region and north of the Per sian border.

peated efforts to put an end to the hor-
rible war have fallen flat. Russia is
the scene of his latest failure. The
guilcless, coniiding emperor Of Ger
many has been cruelty deceived by the
subtle Russians. They have led him on
and on with all sorts of rosy promises
which they now refuse to fulfi}l, says
the Daily Oklahoman.
1t is lucky for Russia that the kaiser
is meek, forgiving soul y high
tempered, bellicOse emperor wOud never
have condoned such duplicity. Imagine
the fix Russia would be in If fire.
