RUSSIANS AGREE.
Fearing Further Onerous Demands
Delegates accept Treaty.

Petrograd, Saturday, March O.
In the fear that argument would
result in even more onerous terms,
the Russian delegation at Brest-LitO-
vsk has accepted all the German
peace conditions and is about to
sign an agreement, according to a
telegram from the delegates received
today at the Smolny Institute. The
demands already have been increas-
ed, they reported.
The message, which was addressed
to Premier Lenine and Foreign Min
lister Trotzky, follows:
LAS we anticipated, deliberations
on a treaty of peace are absolutely
useless 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.
.'sIn view of this fact and in con-
sequence of the Germans refusal to
cease military action until peace is
signed, we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing it's contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures. We, therefore, have re-
quested a 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:
ITO detach the regions of Kara
band, Kars and Batoum from Rus
sian territory on the pretext of the
right of people to self-determina-
ton"
The new territorial claims upon
Russia are apparently advanced in
the interest of Turkey. Batoum, a
strongly fortified seaport on the
Black Sea coast, IN IranS-CducdSld,
about 20 miles north of the border
of Turkish Armenia, was one of the
cities ceded to Russia by Turkey af-
ter the Turko-Russian war of 1871
IS. Kars, also in Trans-Caucasia,
los miles northeast of Erzeroum in
Turkish Armenia, has been in dis
pute between the Turks and the Rus
SLAMS for nearly century and finally
was ceded to Russia at the same
time as was Batoum. The other re-
gion mentioned probably is that of
Karabagh, Trans-Caucasia, lying to
the east of the Kars region and north
of the Persian border.

Garden of Glorious Dahlias.
(Skagway' Alaskan.l

MT and Mrs Fred J. Weber are conducting a hor- ticultural exhibit, flower show all by themselves this year. and those who have not visited the Weber gardens during the past few days have certainly miss ed of the most wonderful floral displays that has occurred in Skagway, and it might not be tell ing an untruth to say in the world.
 In the Weber garden there today seventy three varieties of dahlias There 80 plants and this does not include the other foliage, shrubs blooming plants. One of the dahlia "trees' stands more than nine feet ta while the writer counted twenty-sx full blown blossoms other plant exclusive of numerous buds.
 Entering the gate to the garden from the Seventh avenue entrance, the visitor steps a carpet of grass forming a most beautiful foreground for the riot of color which greets his gaze he turns the corner of the cozy home of these two flower lovers From that time the "Ohs' and 'Ahs," in constant bewilderment and amaze.
 writer would need dictionary of adjectives to describe the beauties of the scent and painter would need the colors of the rainbow at his disposal to portray the galaxy of color that is with the irregular walls of this garden.
 Row after of dahlias, hedges of delicate blos- som, set og by rare foliage plants everywhere.
 Asters marigolds, sweet peas, geraniums, marguer- ties, and seemingly thousands of other blossoms vie with another in profusion, brancy and size. The wonder comes to ones mind if it is real, or is it night of the imagination
 Don't think that the seed scattered broadcast to grow at will. The garden grew planned Each hedge or of blossom carefully planned be- fore the seed planted to the color egect, and for the the purpose of carrying out the color scheme a whole

DEMOCRATS NOMINATE REPUBLI-
 CANS.

The nomination of Repumlicans for high office by the Democrats in California and Michigan is other indication that people in the United States are out after constructive men rather than partsans for important offices It cannot be said that the Michi- gan Democrats chose Henry Ford for the Senatorial nomination that the California Democrats picked Mayor Roph for their gubernatorial nomination in ord to get with whom they could defeat Re- publcans for both of these were candidates for Republican nominations at the same primary election at which they running in the Democratic pri- maries, and each of them second in a field of strong men. As far the Democrats knew they voting for men who would probably also get Republican nominations, and in each case they were careless to the party preferences of the man for whom they voted.

WIRES CROSSED.

The Wickite organ Southeastern Alaska has admitted that the big corporations think Delegate Suzer Spilled the beans when he opposed the con tinuation former Gov. Strong in ocfhe. So! Then why all this talk about Gov Strong being got out of the way by the corporations? Why all this Wick ersham raving about Gov. Riggs being the candi- date of corporations and those serving them? Why the denunciation of "Guggenheim' and fisheries trust" agents by Wickersham in one breath and a defense of Gov. Strong in the next? Why it a crime to prefer an American a foreigner for Gov ernor? What about the talk of Gov. Strong the friend of the poor man?
 Is it possible that. after all Gov. Strong sat isfactory the big corporations and that Judge Wickersham is satisfactory to them? Is it pos sble that James speaks with tongue to the peo- pie and another to the big corporations?
 At least it would that the Wickites get ting their wires crossed.

SPIRIT IS TO PUNISH GERMANS.

Perhaps in no war of modern times have soldiers entered war with the spirit to punish their adver- sares has been developed in the present contest particularly is this true it applies to the soldiers of the Allied Nations.
 This is illushtrated in few letters that have recently been received in Juneau. A Lieutenant in the French Army, who has been in the from the beginning, writes that while the indications that the war will be in year, he believes that it should not end for at least years, because it would take that time to kill enough Germans to make the world secure from another German war" He says the developments of the war have demon strated that "the only safe thing do with the Germans is to kill them"
 An Alaskan boy, writing to a Juneau friend says T have been in conversation with some of the American boys who have been back from the front, and the stories they tell German atrocities has aroused fierce desire to kill Germans I have enjoyed many days hunting ducks in the Mendenhall fats but say to you that would rather kill one German than all the ducks that ever saw Menden- hall" This Juneau boy is in the army in the East and expects to leave for Overseas
