Dorpat, Esthonia, Wednesday, Dec.
/ (By the Associated Pcess}.-The
first step toward peace between
Esthonia and Soviet Russia was taken
tonight by the signing Of prelimi-
nary armistice, which is to exist for
one week, stipulating an immediate
cessation of hostilities ard covering
questions concerning Esthonian in
dependence and military guarantees
with regard to the frontiers.
The agreement, which may be
terminated on "a hours notice by
either side, is to become effective
January 8. Unless action is taken to
terminate it the agreement auton,ati-
cally renews itself, after seven days.
The agreement consists of five
documents and includes map defin-
ing the frontiers. An interesting
clause absolves ,Esthonia from all
obligations to Russia resulting from
former connections with that coun-
try.
The signing of the agreement lad
been set for 1 o'clock in the after
noon, but it was not until nearly 8
O'Clock IN the evening that the con-
ferees succeeded in adjusting all de-
tails.
The text of the clause recognizing
Esthonia says:
.sIn accordance with the principles
oft proclaimed by the Soviet Russian
government Of the right Of all peo-
ples to q free determination of their
nationality, even to the complete
cession from the state to which they
belong, Russia recognizes without
reservation the independence Of the
>Esthonion state and freely abdicates
for all time all the sovereign rights
which belonged to Russia with respect
to Esthonia's Land ard people, II ac-
cordance with former state orders as
well as those rights given under in
ternational treaties. Esthonian land
and people shall have no obligations
whatever with respect to Russia be-
cause of the former connections of
Esthonia with Russia"
The agreement stipulates that dur
irg The session of hostilities the re-
spective armies shall remain on the
territory held by each and that the
land between them shall be consid-
cred neutral zone.
The frontier is fixed at ten kilo-
meters eastward of Lake Peipus,
crossing Lake Peipus and Lake Pekov
and running thence to the east Of
Isborsk. The present Esthonian mill
tary line is left approximately in
tact. The frontier system is re-
garded as an important Esthonian
victory.
