RUSSIA AGREES ID
 HUNS PEACE TERMS
BoLSHEVik1 WILL SEND DELE CATION TO 5RESl LlToVSK
 AT ONCE.
R0UMANIA IS NEGOTIATING
Numerous Additional Towns Have Been Captured By Germans and Several Thousand More Russians
 Are Made Prisoners.

New York. = The Bolshevik gov ernment i'll Russia represented hs Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotzky, has aeeeeded to the demands of Ger many and announced it's readiness to accept the hard peace terms which Germany has laid down.
 Thus apparently without further hesitation the Russians are prepared in an effort to stop the inroads the Germans now are making into their country to add to the enemy's already vast holdings more of Russia's most valuable western territory, extending from the Gulf of Finland southward to the Black sea. and even to with draw her troops from Finland and give back to the Turks what has been taken from them in battle.
 The surrender seems abject. Rus sia is immediately to send d delega- ton to Brest-Litoysk. there to dis cuss with German representatives the final details of the peace and sign the compact
 At last accounts the German ar mics in the east were giving no heed to talk of peace, but were methodicai= ly pushing forward their line over the more than 500-mile front from the Gulf of Finland region to Volhynia and still nowhere meeting with any systematic attempts to hinder their progress.
 Numerous additional towns have been captured and several thousand more Russians made prisoner In ad- dition, nearly 5000 German and Aus trian prisoners of war have been ib- erated by the invaders. Reyal, Rus sias principal port on the Finnish gulf, is rapidly being approached, notwithstanding the snow-covered roads. The troops here are being pushed forward in forced marches, mand evidently being to capture the port, which would be available, if ne eessity arises, as a base for opera tions by fleet of war vessels against Kronstadt and Petrograd.
 Rumania, cut off from her allies
 
 entered into formal peace negotia- tions with the central powers, accord ing to adviees reaching London. Those pastmasters in Teutonic allied poli- cies, Von Kuehlmann and Czernin, respectively the German and Austrian foreign ministers, and Radoslavoff the Bulgarian premier, are treating with M. Averesco, the Rumanian pre- mier, at a point near Bucharest. Doubtless, as were the terms impos- ed on Russia, the peace conditions that will be offered Rumania will be hard ones.
 Already they are said to embrace territorial acquisitions for Bulgaria and economic preferences for Ger many and Austria

RAILROAD MEASURE
 PASSED BY SENATE
THERE WAS NO ATTEMPT TO RE WYE FIGHT FOR INDEFINITE
 GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

Washington. = The administration bill, providing for government control of railroads until IS months after the war, including many short lines, and appropriating a revolving fund Of s600,000,000 for federal operation, was passed by the Senate without roll call and now awaits action in the House. where it is under depate.
 The bill passed by the Senate au- thorizes the president to initiate rates subject to Interstate Commission ve- to- There was no attempt to revive the fight for indefinite government control.
 Provision for "short line" railroads was made in an amendment by Sena- tor Cummins of Iowa, adopted 5S to IA. Independent feeders" of the trunk lines estimated to be worth more than $1,O00, ,0O0,00O are affected Fears expressed by many senators that the short lines would become bankrupt if not brought within govern ment control was the reason for the action. Director General McAdoo has opposed legislation for short lines on the ground that no railroads ex- cept those selected as necessary to government unification and operation should be brought within federal ji- rection and aid.
