Petrograd.-In the fear that argu- ment would result in even more oner- ous terms, the Russian delegation at Brest-Litoysk has accepted all the German peace conditions and is about to sign an agreement, according to d telegram from the delegates received at the Smolny Institute. The de- mands already have been increased. they reported.
 The message, which was addressed to Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis ter Trotzky, follows:
 As we anticipated, deliberations on a treaty of peace are absoltely use less, and could only make things worse in comparison with the ultima tum of February 21. They might even assume the character of leading to the presentation of another ulti- matum.
 Tn view of this fact and in cense- quepee of the Gercans' refusal to cease military action until peace IS signed, we have resolved to sign the treaty without discussing it's contents and leave after we have attached our signatures. We, therefore, have re- quested a train, expecting to sign to- day and leave afterwards.
 .'The most serious feature of the new demands, compared with those of February 2f, is the following:
 tTo detach the regions of Kara band, Kars and Batoum from Russian territory, on the pretext of the right of peoples to self-determination.e
 The new territorial claims upon Russia are apparently advanced in the interest of Turkey. Batoum, t strongly fortified seaport on the Black Sea coast, in Trans-Caucasia, about 20 miles north of the border ot Turkish Armenia, was one of the cities ceded by Turkey to Russia af- ter the RussoTurkish war of 1877 1878. Kars, also in Trans-CaucaSia, 105 miles northeast of Erzerum, in Tukish Armenia, has been in dispute between the Turks and the Russians for nearly century, and finally was ceded to Russia at the same time as was Batoum. The other region men toned probably is that of Karabagh. Trans, Caucasia, lying to the east of the Kars region and north of the Per sian border.
