Russia has bowed to the Teutonl'
allies. The boshevki commissioners
sent to Brest.Litoysk have signed the
treaty of peace presented by the Ger
mans. according to an official state
ment from Berlin which says that
military movements in Great Russia
have ceased.
II was reported on February % by
the bolsheyiki commissioners that
they were about to sign the treaty
This report was telegraphed to Lenne
and Trtozky after the delegates sent
to Brest-Litovsk had met the Ger
man emissaries. There is little in
formation available as to the details
OF the meeting between the peace del
egations, but the bolsheviki say they
realized that any further delay would
mean more onerous conditions and
they would sign the treaty without
further discussions.
Russia lost by the delay that en-.
sued when Trotzky announced that
the war so far as Russia was con.
cerned had ended. but refused to
sign the formal treaty. In the inter.
val between the breaking UP of the
first Brest.Litovsk meeting and the
