Petrograd, March AIN the fear
that argument would result in even
more onerous terms, the Russian dele
cation at Brest-Litovsk accepted all
the German peace conditions and is
about to sign an agreement, according
to telegram from the delegates re-
ceived yesterday at the Smolny Insti-
tute. The demands already have been
increased, they reported The mes
sage, which was addressed to Premier
Lenine and Foreign Minister Trotzky,
follows:
"As we anticipated, deliberations on
treaty Of peace are absolutely use
less and could only make things
worse in comparison with the ultima
tum of Feb. 21.
"They might even assume the char
acter Of leading to the presentation
of another ultimatum.
"In view of this fact and in conse-
quence of the Germans refusal to
cease military action until peace is
signed, we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing its contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures. We, therefore, have re-
quested train, expecting to sign to-
day and leave afterwards.
"The most serious feature of the
new demands, compared with those of
Feb. 21, Is the following:
ITO detach the regions of Kara
baugh, Kars and Batoum from Rus
sian territory on the pretext of the
right Of people to self-determination."
London, March 4.-According to a
semi-official news agency dispatch
from Petrograd Saturday, proclama-
tion has been issued by the Bolshevik
government under the heading "Im-
porters of German Kultur," asserting
that when the Germans entered VOL
mar Feb. 20, 200 persons were arrest
ed and, without any investigation,
were hanged in the market place. The
proclamation says this action resulted
from information given the Bour-
geoise, who gathered around the gal
lows and shouted, "The same fate
awaits 500 more" The Germans have
announced that all the Bolshevik Red
Guards will be hanged or shot.

patriotic, and as this patriotism is
tireless, intelligent, inspiring and en-

shaped into a solid bulwark upon

have found in North Dakota, a press
