allies. The bolsheviki commissioners
sent to Brest-Litovsk have signed the
treaty of peace presented by the Ger
mans. according to an official state
ment from Berlin, which adds that mill
tary movements in Great Russia have
ceased.
Peace Delegates Wire News,
1t was reported on Saturday by the
bolshevik commissioners that they
were about to sign the treaty. This
report was telegraphed to Lenine and
Trotzky after the delegates sent to
Brest-Litovsk had met the German
emissaries. There is little information
available as to the details of the meet
ing between the peace delegations, but
the bolsheviki- said they realized that
any further delay would mean more
onerous conditions and they would sign
the treaty without further discussions.
Russia Loses by Delay.
Russia lost by the delay that ensued
when Trotzky announced that the war,
so far as Russia was concerned, had
ended, but refused to sign the formal
treaty. In the interval between the
breaking up of the first Brest-Litovsk
meeting and the one held late last
terially to the demands which were
outlined when the now famous ''Hoff
mann line" was drawn by the com
mander of the German forces on the
eastern front
Turkey was the beneficiary of these
changes in the peace terms. The new
demands included that Russia relin
quish the regions of Botoum, Kars ant
Karaband (Karabagh) to the Turks
These regions are in Transcaucasi;
and mark considerable addition t
the sultan's dominions in that section
of the world. The doctrine of thu
right of peoples to self-determinatiol
. was the pretext upon which the new
, terms were added to the treaty.
New Demands Probably Accepted.
1t is probable that the bolshevf
delegation acceded to the new de
mands.
While it is understood that all tn
Teutonic allies have signed the forma
treaty ending the war with Russia,
is said that the legal phases of resun
