|PE AGE TERMS O'F. GERMANS ID RUSSIA
 ARE MADE PUBLIC
Demands Much Less Than as Reported by TrOtzky Following the Brest-
 LitOvsk Conference
By the Associated Pres.

Petrograd, Wednesday, February 20. The peace terms submitted at the Brest-Litovsk conference by the cen- tral powers were as follows:
 Russia should surrender 160,0oo square miles of territory, having a population of 1s.Qoo,ooo and pay an indemnity subsequently, modified to 3,000, ,OOe. .00Osrubles
 The central p6wers were prepared to return to Russia 1000 square miles on the Grodno province of Luthania.
 Russia should agree not to spread revolutionary propaganda in the cen tral powers
 The commercial treaty which was abrogated at the beginning of the war should be reconstituted and ex- tended thirty years.
 Reports reaching Petrograd are to the effect that the newest German demands include the policing of all the principal cities of Russia.
 The bolsheyiki authorities are ready to accept the peace terms originally outlined by the central powers and also to accede to a demand that Russia evacuate the small portion of Aus trian territory still held. as we'll as Arm enian and all other territory cap tured from Turkey.
 A dispatch from Petrograd under date of February 15 quoted Leon Trotz- ky. the bolsheyiki foreign minister, ds declaring in his report upon the end- ing of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations that the German terms included the retention of Poland, Lithuania Riga and Moon Island. with an indemnity of $4.000.000.000, presumably in gold. It will be seen from the foregoing dis in territory and indemnity. were much less than those reported by Trotzky.

RAILROAD BILL WILL
 N0T PASS HOUSE
 UNTIL TUESDAY
Lower Body of Congress Adopts Several Amend ments to Administra-
 tion's Plan

Washington, February 23.-Although the House today speedily adopted sew eral amendments to the administration bill regulating government control ofsthe railroads. including one empowering the President to take over all short lines competing with trunk lines. indications tonight were that the measure might not be passed before Tuesday.
 District of Columbia committee m sas- .ures have the right of way in the House Monday, ana there was disposition on the part Of some members to let the rail- road bill go over until Tuesday. How ever, Chairman Sims of the House i'm terstate commerce committee, in charge of the measure. will make every effort to secure continuous consideration until a final voto is had.
 The amendment to take over short lines competing with the trunk roads was offered by Representative Esch of Wisconsin, who urged that 1t would put them on the same basis as the large railroads and would stabilize them dur ing the war. The original section of ths bill, drawn by Representative Webb Of North Carolina, and urged by Director General McAdoo, provided for taking over only such short lines as were neces- sary in the operation of the entire trans portarion system, but provided compen- sation for divesion of war traffic from roads not taken over by routing over these lines freight not important in the conduct of the war.
 The short line amendment adopted by the House differs from that in the bill passed ty the Senate yesterday in that 1t excludes any line not acting as a com mon carrier and includes only those that the President might deem necessary to win the war. Advocates of the amend rnent said today in arguing for it's pas sage that any small railroads that car ried food. fuel or anything going into the manufacture of any war supply. was aiding war work and that virtually all of them would be taken over
 Another amendment adopted by tho House today provides that recent expen- ditures for Improvements are to be taken into consideration in calculating com pensation. which is fixed in the bill on a basis average of the operating income of the three years ending June 30, 1s17
 The House defeated. as did the Senate yesterday, amendments to limit compen- sation.

of dams at Muscle ShOalS, Witn Lne rc- quest that formal order be issued setting apart the necessary funds for the con- struction of dam No. 2 at Muscle Shoals according to Information received here today by Col J. w. Worthington, in a telegram from Senator Underwood in Washington There is no doubt that the order will be issued by the President when the secretary presents the papers. When the President officially approves the construction of dam No. 2 the total expenditure planned by the government at Muscle Shoals in connection with the development of hydroelectric power and the building of nitrate plants in East and West Sheffield aggregates approx imately $50O0O, 900, and the vast acquisi- tion of this city and section through the Muscle Shoals development will be marked by substantial and lasting ma terial progress.
 Thus 1t appears today that the pro- longed fight that has been waged Tor the full development of Muscle Shoals has reached it's final stages and the consummation of the huge undertake ing. which was fathered from the very beginning by Colonel Worthington, has been, accomplished.
 To, Colonel Worth;ngton. more than any other individual credit is due for the full development of Muscle Shoals. He has won the plaudits of a multitude of people.

Meanwhile, the entente embassies in Petrograd are reported in sympathetic mood with Russias present plight and ready to give assistance to her people in fighting off the advancing enemy. The advices to Washington to have decided to accompany the bolshevik government from Petrograd should the German men, ace compel the abandonment of the city.
 Already the headquarters of the Rus sian western army has been removed to Smolensk, more than 50 miles into the interior from Mohilev, the former head quarters town. The Germans are ap- preaching the line of the Beres Ina. about 50 miles east of Minsk, in this sector. To the north they have reached Walk, in Eivonia, 90 miles northeast of Riga and arc continuing to move east ward in Esthonia. In volhynia they have occupied Dubno. the remaining stronghold of the Volhynian fortress tri- angle, in their advance toward Kiev, which, however, is still more than 175 miles distant
 In Turkish Armenia the Turks have begun an offensive. which is declared to have been started before the expiration of the armistice. They are reported driv- ing the Russians eastward along the Black sea coast, occupying Platana. IS miles west of Trehizond, apparently cut ting off a Russian force which had as- selnbled for the evacuation already in progress.
 Military operations elsewhere have been of minor importance. The French carried out raid of considerable scope in the Laon region north of the Ailette river, taking war material and 25 pris- onerss A few other Germans were taken prisoner in a raid in the Champagne.
 The inter-allied labor conference in London reached a determination not to accept German peace" in any circum- stances and to support the British war aims programme. There was no inten- ton on labor's part of holding out the olive branch to Germany so long as she persisted in her rampant mintarism, the conference declared.

Representative Almon. who called at the office of the Secretary of War. and to whom the secretary made his announce- ment, are delighted and filled with the belief thta the President at once will act on the recommendation of his chief assistant. With the construction of the dam. the government will have com pleter projects in the environs of Shelf field costing more than s50,o00.o00.
 There is no reason to fear that the President will act contrary vto the recom- mendation of Secretary Baker" said Senator Underwood. following his vbit this morning. When the government prepared to construct its cyanamid plant it was with the intention of using water power as soon as water power could be developed. There was, however, an ever- present danger that cessation of hostil- ities followed by the necessity of re- trenchment, would indefinitely delay au- sthorization for the dam.
 Since the determination of the gov ernmeht to construct its war projects at Sheffield, efforts have been under way to secure titles to necessary property. The people. as rule. have been most patriotic in this respect. and there has been wholesome absence of attempts at profiteering. When the Alabama Power company some days ago donated its valuable property, nothing remained to give the government pause.
 Secretary Baker this morning assured me that he was heartily in favor of the immediate construction of the dam, and that he would so recommend Monday. Immediate action of the President is an- tic:pated.

Liverpool. Eng.-When women first

question.
