Russia has bowed TO the Teutonic al
lies. The Boshevik commissioners
sent to rest-Litovsk have signed the
treaty of peace presented by the Ger
mans. according to an official state
ment from Berlin, which added that
military movements i'll Great Russia
have ceased.
Little Information Available
1t was reported on Saturday by the
BolShevik commissioners that they
we're about TO sign the treaty. This re
port was telegraphed TO Lenine and
Trotzky after the delegates sent to
Brest-Litvosk had met the German
emissaries. Little information is avail
able as To the details of the meeting
between the peace delegations, but the
Bolsheviki said they realized that any
further delay would mean more oner
Gus conditions and they would sign the
treaty without further discussions.
Russia lost by the delay that enSueu
when Trotzky announced that the war,
as far as Russia was concerned, had
ended, but refused to sign the formal
breaking up of the first Brest -Litovsl
meeting and the one held last week, the
Central Powers added materially to the
demands Which were outlined when the
new famous 'IIoffmanlinge' was drawn
by tho commander of the German
forces on the eastern front.
Additions to Turkish Territory
Turkey as The beneficiary Of these
changes in the peace terms. The new
demands included that Russia relin-
ouish the regions of Batoum, kars and
Kara band (KarabaGh) to the Turks.
These regions are in Trans-Caucasia
and marked a considerable addition to
the Sultans dominors in that section
of the world The doctrine of the right
of peoples 10 self determination was
the prctext upon which the new terms
were added to the treaty. 1t is prob
able that the IiolsllcNik delegation &C
coded to the new demands.
