 hold By Connecting Shell Holes.

With the American Army in France. After terrific artillery preparation large numbers of the enemy crossed No Mans Land on the extreme right of the American sector northwest of Toul. Apparently the purpo-e of the raid was quickly accomplished and only a comparatively small number entered our lines Permission has not been given to mention the number of casualties.
 This raid, like most of the others carried out all the way from the sea to Switzerland, was designed to gath CT information by taking prisoners.
 East of Luneville our patrols have explored part of the German trench, which our artillery forced the enemy to abandon Patrols proceeded later ally until they established contact with the Germans. Our reconnais- sance and wire patrols found sntpers' posts, listening posts and nests from which machine guns had been firing on our lines. The artillery attended to all these posts. The German posi- tions have been so uncomfortable at several places that they now are try ing to regain a foothold by connecting shell holes. Our troops have been subjected to an extraordinarily heavy artillery fire for the last "A hours. More than 240 shells. which made era ters 20 feet deep and 30 feet in diam eter. fell in one eeetion of the line. In another section batteries have been shelled heavily. More gas shells have fallen in both the Foul and Luneyille sectors, but the larger number in the former.
 The American troops in the sector east of Luneville. in conjunction with the French, are still holding the for mer enemy trenches northeast of Ba- denvillers, although the Germans have made another attempt to drive them out with artillery shells, most of them heavy and some of them of the 12-ineh type, have pounded the position intermittently, but the Amer jeans and their allies have held on.

.SOYIETS CONGRESS
 SIGN PEACE TERMS
WAS 453 TO 30-WAS eOL- SHEVIkl MAJORITY.

Petrograd. - The All-Russian Con- gress of Soviets, meeting at Moscow, on vote of 453 to 50 decided to rati- fly the peace treaty with the central powers.
 M Ryazonoy, a prominent Bolshe- yik theorist and representative of all the professional unions, resigned from the Bolshevik party after the vote.
 The action of the AllRussian Con gress of SoViets in accepting the German peace clears the way for an nouncement of allied intentions as regards Japanese intervention in Si- beria and gives Germany vast oppor- tunities for political and economic penetration of the former Russian empire. The decision of the congress is the culmination of the peace steps begun by the Bolshevik government last December.
 The first peace conference at Brest- Litovsk was abortive. Germany on February 15 rejected the deeiarations of Foreign Minister Trotzky and re- sumed hostilities against Russia. The Germans then made peace with the Ukraine and prepared to aid the gev- ernment there in putting down the Bolsheviki. On February IS the Ger man advance into Russia was renew ed and the Dvina River crossed at Dvinsk.
 Meeting with little opposition, the C aI grad and the Bolshevik government decided to accept Germans peace terms. Foreign Minister Trotzky Ie- fused to go to Brest-Litovsk and Pre- mier Lenine sent Zinovieff, close follower of his.
 The pacifiist policy of Premier Le. nine brought break in the Bolshevik ranks and Trotzky resigned several days ago. This cleavage apparently had no effect on Lenine's mastery of the Congress of Soviets.
 By the peace terms Russia must give up Poland, Courland, Livonia, Esthonia and the Ukraine. In Asia Minor the Russians are compelled 10 retire from Armenia and to cede 10 the Turks the Russian districts of Batoum, Kars and Eriyan.
 Russia must renounce all claims to the occupied territories in Europe, Germany and Austria-Hungary to de- eide the fate of the regions in agree ment with their populations.
 The Russian army must be demobi lized and Russian warships are to be disarmed.
 More important to the central pow CTS is the reopening of navigation in the Black and Baltic seas and the signing by Russia under compulsion of a new commercial treaty. with guarantees of a most favorednation treatment, at least until 1925. The Bolsheviki also promised 10 put an end to all propaganda and agitation within the central empires and in oc- cupied territories under their con- trol.
