PEACE TERMS CARRIED OUT

London. Eng, Feb. 2S.-The Ger.
man army has received orders to stop
its advance into Russia, according to
the Petrograd correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph who has receiv-
ed information to this effect which
he regards as reliable.
When the Bolsheviki government
agreed to accept German peace terms
last week, the commander-in-chief Of
the Russian armies inquired of the
Germans If the previous armistice
would be renewed and the German
invasion halted. He did not receive
an immediate reply and the German
advance continued. A dispatch from
Petrograd on Wednesday said Gener-
al Hoffmann, the German military
representative at B'rest-Litovsk had
replied to the Bolsheviki communi-
cation by declaring that the advance
would continue until treaty of
peace was signed and carried out
along the lines laid down in the Ger
man peace terms.

CONSIDERATION
FOR ALL LABOR

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-Region-
al railroad directors cautioned against
any action in labor disputes which
might appear arbitrary said Director
General McAdoO in a statement is
sued tonight, particularly because
railroad labor men still have suspic-
ion that executives, while working
under government control, are seek
ing to discredit federal management.
The statement also disclosed instruc-
tions given the regional directors on
many other subjects.
"You should bear in mind" said the
instructions, that labor has the very
natural feeling that railroad managers
although now working for the govern
ment and on government account, nec-
cessarily continue the same concep-
ton of, and attitude toward the labor
problems, that they had when acting
under private management.
Wants No Walk.outs
"The general policy as to all labor
is that there shall be no interruption
of work because Of any controversies
between employers and employees"
Most disputes, the instructions said,
should be referred to the director gen
eral, who will deal with them, through
