Another Slice Of Territory
Demanded and Handed
Over to the Turks.
NO ARMY FOR RESISTANCE
Fearing Another and More
Drastic Ultimatum, the
Terms Agreed To.

Russia has been forced into a
humiliating peace with the teutonic
invaders. The bolshevik commission
ers sent 20 Brest-Litovsk have signed
the treaty Of peace presented by the
Germans, according TO an official
statement from Berlin, which adds
that military movements in Great
Russia have ceased.
IL was reported on Saturday by the
bolshevik commissioners that they
we're about to sign the treaty. This
report was telegraphed to Lenine
and Trotzky after the delegates sent
TO Brest-Litovsk had met the Ger
man emmissaries. There is little in
formation available as 70 the details
Of the meeting between the peace
delegations but the bolshevik said
they realized that any further de-
lay would mean more onerous con-
ditions and they would sign the trea-
ty without further discussions.
Russia lost by the delay that en-
sued when Trotzky announced that
the war was over so far as Russia
was concerned, 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 week, the central pow
ers added greatly to the demands
which were outlined when the now
famous Hoffman line" was drawn
by the commander Of the German
forces on the eastern front
Turkey Gets New Lands.
Turkey was the beneficiary Of these
changes in the peace terms. The
new demands include REIMBURSEMENT
by Russia Of the regions of Batoum,
Kars and Karaband (Karabagh) to
the Turks. These regions are in
Transcaucascia and mark a consider
able addition to the Sultan's domin-
ions in that section of the world.
The doctrine of the right of peoples
TO self determination was the pre-
text upon the treaty II is probable
that the bolshevik delegation ac-
ceded to the demands.
The German socialists have bit
terly attacked the peace treaty with
Russia. In a debate in the reich
stag there were charges that Ger
many and Austria already are quar-
reling over the spoils of war and
that the real truth Of the situation !
in the east is being kept from the |
German public.
While Berlin says that the Ger !
man invasion has ceased, Austrian
troops have occupied three more |
towns in Ukraine and have captured (
.hree divisions Of Russia infantry, /
IS well as the stats Of two Russian |
army corps.
