Terms.
FALL OF BOLSHEVIKI
UNCONFIRMED RUMOR

London, Feb. 19.-Russia is now
forced to sign peace upon the condi-
ions proposed by Germany. says an
cffcial Russian statement received
here today.
The official statement was signed by
Premier Lenine and Leon Trotzky,
the foreign minister. 1t protests
against the German resumption of the
war and says the council of peoples
commissioners is now forced to de-
clare its readiness to sign peace as
dictated by the delegations of the
Quadruple alliance at Brest-Litovsk.
1t promises to give detailed reply
without delay to the German peace
conditions.
PEACE TERMS NOT TOLD
Russias decision to yield to Ger
many comes on the day after the re-
sumption of military operations by
the Germans resulting in the occupa-
ton by them, of Dvinsk and Lutsk.
Whether 1t was the threat Of German
military power or the chaotic do
nestle conditions which induced the
bolsheviki to accept the German
terms is not made clear by the ad-
vices thus far received.
The bolsheviki last week declared
the state of war to be at an end and
ordered rehabilitation Of the Russian
forces on all fronts. No full account
Of the German peace terms has been
received. The principal at issue over
which the negotiations at Brest-Li-
tovsk we've broken OF was the status
OF the territory in western Russia
which had been occupied by the Ger
mans and Austrians.
INDEMNITY OF $4,000. 600 900
The bolsheviki were willing to per-
nit these border peoples to decide for
themselves whether they should be-
come independent but insisted that
the Germans evacuate these territor-
les. This the Germans declined to do.
A dispatch to the Times from Pet
rograd under date Of February Is

foreign minister, MS declaring in his

ROMANCE IN FRANCE

1t appears that certain susceptible
American youths over in France con-
template another and an even more
endearing kind of alliance than that
which already exists between France
and America. 1t is reported that many
Americans are taking French brides.
On the quiet we,-have it that certain
Milwaukee boys have taken or are
about to take the step.
This is a most unlocked for develop
ment, and yet we might have known
that it would happen. Human nature
is the same in France as here. Fate,
in female form, is always lying in
wait 1t couldn't have been supposed
that fine virile American men and
fair French girls could be brought to-
gether and absolutely nothing happen.
Something evidently has happened,
and for our part we are glad, even
though the news may produce con-
sternation in feminine America. These
are not the kind of international mar
Tiages which used to evoke such dis
appreciation. They will help cement
the bonds of mutual love and admira-

FREEDOM OF MEN

Liberty does not mean doing what

said Bishop Gore of Oxford, England,

Church" A world in which every

Freedom presupposes sense of duty
and Of vocation felt by the individual.
No absence of externals can make a
man free. Freedom is the unimpeded
power to realize the felt law of being

man is free whose flesh is controlled
by the law of the mind, and whose

God. Pass from the liberty of the in
