Amsterdam Monday, March A.
Russia and the central powers in
the peace treaty reached at Brest-
Litoysk, agreed that the war be-
tween them should be at an end,
Berlin dispatches say.
The third clause of the treaty pro-
vided that the region west of line
agreed upon and which is to be de-
lineated later, formerly belonging
to Russia, shall have no further "ob-
legation toward Russia, and Ger
many and Austria will determine
their fate in agreement with their
populations
Article four provides for the
evacuation of the Anatolian pro-
vinces and the surrender of Erivan,
Kars and Batoum to Turkey.
The treaty reads:
"Article five Russia will with
out delay carry out the complete de-
mobilization of her army, including
the forces newly formed by the
present government. Russia will
further transfer her warships to
Russian harbors and leave them
there until general peace, or i'm
mediately disarm. Warships of
states continuing in a state of war
with the quadruple alliance will be
treated as Russian warships in so
far as they are within Russian con-
troll.
"The barred zone in the Arctic
continues in effect until the con-
clusion of peace. An immediate be-
ginning will be made of the remov-
al of mines in the Baltic, and, in so
far as Russian power extends, in the
Black sea, Commercial shipping is
free in these waters and will be re-
sumed Immediately. A mixed COM

ther regulations, especially for the

TEXAS RATIFIES
DRY AMENDMENT
ANOTHER BILL MAY MAKE
STATE DRY ON OR ABOUT
JUNE 28.

Austin, Texas, March 5.-With
final ratification of the federal con
stitutionaI amendment for nation
wide prohibition, and with passage
by the house of Governor Hobby's
ten-mile zone bill by a vote of lOS
to 10, the prohibition forces of the
Texas legislature apparently are
in the saddle. The house also pass
ed the drouth relief bill appropriate
ing $2,0O0,OOO to be loaned by the
state to counties for the purchase OF
feed and seed for farmers.
The tcr-mile zone bill as passed
by the house would put prohibition
in effect on April l about all places
where men in the armed service of
the United States are quartered for
any purpose and about all shipyardS
at work on government contracts.
The measure now goes to the SEN
ate.
Far More Than Two Thirds.
On the tcn-mile zone bill Speak
er Fuller ruled that ninety-five
votes were required for passage with
the emergency clause, or to put the
bill into effect at any time earlier
than ninety days after adjournment.
The measure drew thirteen votes
more than that number and Senat-
or Dean, senate floor leader in
charge OF the bill, declares that the
measure will receive the same over
whelming vote there, 1t has been
held that twenty-one votes will be
needed ior passage by the senate
with the emergency clause.
Suggestions have been made that
the senate might possibly attempt
to amend the bill to make it be-
come effective on April IS, or as
late as May |, under threat of the
opposition that the two-thirdS vote
would be withheld. Senator Dean
however, declares that the bill will
be passed in the form it is received
from the house. This means that
it will likely reach the governors
office this week.
Prolonged cheers greeted tn,
passage Of the bill in the house to-
day by the overwhelming major
ity.
Federal Amendment Ratified.
Ratification of the national pro
hibitiol. amendment was complct
ed when the senate finally adopted
the house Joint resolution to tina
effect. Texas is the seventh stat,
to ratify The amendment, others be
ing Mississippi, South Carolina, Vir
ginia, Kentucky Maryland ant
Montana.
Three of Governor Hobby's bill
passed the senate today, beinl
house bills. The expedition OF bust
ness continues apace and the gov
ernors war program is uninter
rupted.
With the overwhelming vote Civ
en- the ten-mile zone bill, the pro
are claiming that they will pass tn
statewide bill by a vote of abou
6S to So, and French Spencer say
Governor Hobby will sign it or le
it become a law without his sig
nature. If such a bill should pas
it would become effective abou
June 2S. The state would becom
dHy on that date unless a court in
junction in a contest of the law
validity should stop it.

Articles of the treaty signed by
Russia and the central powers do

Russia is assured. Article three pro-
vides that Germany and Austria
shall be permitted to decide the fate
of the territories in agreement

Russian frontier from the Gulf OF
Finland to the Caspian sea is to be
determined later, but Russia is to
evacuate Anatolia and surrender
the provinces of Batoum, Kars and

ancient Armenia-to the Turks. This
territory has combined area OF
10000 square miles and a population
of more than 100000.
Berlin announces officially that
Rumania has accepted the German
armistice conditions. The peace
negotiations were interrupted last
week by the ending Of the previous
armlstice, and it was necessary tC

parlcrs could continue.
Attacks of larger proportions thar

continue on the western front, but
there have been no indications o.
