Berlin, March 3.-(Via Lon don. By reason of the sign ing of the peace treaty with Russia" says the official com- munication from headquarters tonight, military movements in Great Russia have Ceased. !"
 Petrograd, March 3.-Thc peace treaty with Germany has
 been signed. The Ukrainian
 army has occupied Kiev, Gomel and Berdichev.
 | Petrograd, Saturday, March 2.--In the fear that argument would result | in even more onerous terms, the Rus sian delegation at Brest-Litovsk has accepted the German peace conditions and is about to sign an agreement, according to telegram from the dele gates received today at the Smoly in stitute. The demands already have been increased, they reported. i The message which was addressed to Premier Lenine and Foreign Minister Trotzky, follows:
 GERMANS ADAMANT "As we anticipated, deliberations on treaty of peace are absolutely useless and could only make things worse in comparison with the ultImatums of Feh- ruary 2i. They might even assume the character of leading to the presentation of another ultimatum.
 'In view of this fact and in conse- quence of the German refusal to cease action until peace is signed, we have resolved to sign the treaty without dis cussing it's contents and leave after we have attached our signatures. We, there- fore, have requested a train. expecting to sign today and leave afterwards.
 ADDITIONAL DEMANDS "The most serious features of the new demands compared with those of Febru- ary 2l Is the following:
 ITO detach the regions of Karaband. Kars and Batoum from Russian terri tory on the pretext of the right of peo- ples to self-determined."
 The new territorial claims upon Rus sia are apparently advanced in the i'm terest of Turkey Batoum, a strongly fortified seaport on the Black sea coast in transcaucasia, about 20 miles north of the border of Turkish Armenia, was one of the cities ceded by Turkey to Russia after the Russo-Turkish war of lS77-7s. Kars, also in transcaucasia, lO6 miles northeast of Erzerum in Turkish Armenia, has been in dispute between the Turks and the Russians for nearly century and finally was ceded to Russia at the same time was Batoum. The other region mentioned probably is that of Karabaugh, Caucasia, lying to the east of Kars region and north of the Per sian border

Four rehearsals were held for the attack and the troops who made it were specially picked from new arr rivals of fresh troops in the sector. They were told that the Americans were in front of them.
 HOW THEY ATTACKED
 After the artillery had nearly leveled the American position, the Germans started out from their nests, each of which contained 40 infantrymen, one lieutenant, and three pioneers to pre- cede the infantry and five to follow it.. The two groups upon the American ex- treme right went around this flank and the group upon the extreme left car ried out similar movement there.
 The two groups in the center had planned to attack directly, but the American deNnse changed all the plans. When they were met by the heavy machine gun fire from the American lines. they saw it would be impossible to gain footing there, changed their direction and followed the other groups around the flank The duty of the pioneers preceding the in- fantry was to clean up any wire that had not been broken by the artillery, while the pioneers who followed car ried large quantities of explosives for the purpose of cleaning up the dug outs.
 HUN PRISONERS TALK
 Official reports of the interrogation of the prisoners taken by the Ameri- cans show that all of them did not believe Germany would win the war. Ono of the men told the intelligence officers he presumed that the Ameri- cans, like the Germans. did not want to fight, but had to. The officers quickly changed the Germans view point by informing him that all the troops in the attacked positions were volunteers. One prisoner. whose home is in Ger man Lorraine. said he thought the fatherland would lose the war, but he | hoped not. He knew nothing about ithe Americans except that they were in the war, the German newspapers tnot printing much upon the subject, he
  said. and being slow in reaching the front line because of mail congestion.
 BIG OFFENSIVE COMING This prisoner said he was convinced lthat the recent strikes in Germany were caused by a desire for peace, ad- ding that all Germany wanted the war I to end. He was certain that an of fensive was coming, but did not believe lit would be launched before April l. None of the prisoners had seen any German tanks. they said. All of them add they were glad to have been taken prisoner, especially by the Americans because they believed they would be well treated.

 MOWERS STATEMENT
 In a statement tonight setting forth the reasons for the change in pro . gramme Food Administrater Hoover said. ~
 "The allies have made further and increased demand for breadstuffs. these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage in arrivals from the Argentine: It is, therefore, necessary for the food administration to urge still farther reduction in the consumption of bread and bread stuffs generally if we are to meet our export necessities.
 Experience shows that the con- sumption of breadstuffs is intimately associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or thre months are considerably enlarged and we can supply the allies with all of the meat products which transporta- tion facilities render possible and at

By BILL PRICE.


Widespread official and public ap-
proval today greeted the earnest ef-
forts by the rival street railway lines
Of Washington to bring about unifica-
tion OF operation as q step toward
putting these properties in shape to
them due to the rapidly mounting
population.
The public is deeply interested be-
cause in the end the public pays the
bills. 1t doesn't require any extra
strain Of mental operation for this to
be understood by members of the
Utilities Commission and by the man
ayers OF the railroads.
All Pull Together.
At last it looks as IL the Utilities
Commission, the owners OF the rail-
roads and the pubic were pulling to-
gether. all for Washington and all
with the knowledge that as the public
does foot the bills It is due prime con-
sideration from start to finish.
There has been no doubt for ten
days, as pointed out in The Times, that
the directors OF the two car lines
clearly foresee the necessity for uni
hcstion in some form as a means OF
reducing expenses and of pooling all
possible resources for serving the
public. Financial economies, no mat
ter how brought about, automatically
foreshadow improved service TO the
public where the management is COM
mitted to the unswerving view that
what benefits the people and obtains
their good will 10 OF general bene1t
in every possible direction.
1t was taken for granted today by
members OF the Utilities Commits
sion that the joint committee sp-
pointed by the Capital Traction and
Washington Railway and Electric
companies will work out an agree
ment which will place one set of Of
ficers in charge of both properties,
with a big, broad-gauge man at the
head, a man having the confidence
of the public and OF the Utilities
Commission. The possibilities OF
such an agreement in the way of
economies of management were said
by utility experts TO be far-reaching.
Service Improved.
John A. BeeIer, the traffic expert.
said today that wherever unincation
has been achieved 1t has resulted in
uniform improvement OF service and
greater satisfaction on the part of the
public.
THE tendency in all cities now is to
bring under one control various inde-
pendent lines" said Mr.. Beeler. Great
saving is accomplished in rerouting
cars without thought as to trackage
ownership. Cars may be placed where
they are most needed and traffic d.
verted so as to relieve burdens. OF
course the doing OF these things
takes time and in Washington would
be worked out slowly"
Single ownership is declared by

SAYS TORPEDO DEVICE
WILL FOIL U-BOATS

Better offense and defense against
is the feature OF an cleo
tro-maEnetic torpedo controlling de-
vice which w. r. Garner. an inyentor
of Erie, Pa, Is today presenting to
Government officials here. Mr.. Gar
ner arrived in Washington last night.
and today ia keeping engagements
with Cabinet and navy officials who
are interested in his device.
The invention which Mr.. Garner
proposes Is a conveyor and controller
for handling torpedoes for coast and
harbor defense, for the use OF C-boat
chasers and for blockading. He de-
clares his device makes steering OF
the torpedo's course easier than any
other OF the devices now known for
Ibis purpose.
