Soviet Government Absolves Former Russian Subjects
 From Allegiance
REACH AGREEMENT
 ON BORDER LINES
Self-Determined Land Granted Political Freedom
 in Document

DORPAT, Wednesday, Dec. 31-The first step toward peace between Es- thonia and Soviet Russia was taken tonight by the signing of a prelimi- nary armistice, which is to exist for one week, stipulating an immediate cessation of hostilities and covering question concerning Esthonian inde- pendence and military guarantees with regard to the frontiers.
 The agreement, which may be ter minated on 24 hours notice by either side, is to become effective January g.. Unless action is taken to terminate it, the agreement automatically renews itself after seven days. An interest ing clause absolves Esthonia from all obligations to Russia resulting from former connections with that coun. try.
 The text of the clause recognizing Esthonia says:
 Tn accordance with the principles oft proclaimed by the Soviet Russian government of the right of all peoples to a free determination of their na- tionality, even to the complete seces. sion from the state to which they be- long, Russia recognizes without res ervation the independence of the Es- thOnian state and freely abdicates for all time the sovereign rights which belonged to Russia with respect to Esthonia's land and people in accord ance with former state orders, as well as those rights given under interna- tional treaties. Esthonian' land and peoples shall have no obligations whatever with respect to Russia, be- cause of the former connections of Esthonia with Russia"
 The agreement stipulates that dur ing the cessation of hostilities the re- spective armies shall remain on the territory held by each, and that the land between them shall be cousid- cred a neutral zone

 Woman in Case

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich. Jan. l. Floyd Provost, former close friend of J. Stanley Brown, was again taken into custody for examination today in connection with Browns death on December 23.
 When brought to the county jail. Provost refused to answer questions by the officers. standing on his con stitutional rights as he had in refus- ing to testify at the coroner's in- quest earlier in the week. Neither would he discuss the case when con fronted by Mrs. Cecil Vester, who yesterday told the authorities a story discriminating Provost and Mrs. Ruth Brown, the young widow.
 Beyond accusing Provost of com. plicity in the killing of Brown, whose bullet-riddled body was found in his automobile on a country road near here, Mrs. Vester added nothing to her version of the tragedy today. So far she is the only person directly charged with Browns death.
