I t
The bolsheviki government in Rus-
sia, represented by Nikolai Lenine and
Leon TroUky, has acceded to the de-
mands of Germany and announced its
readiness to accept the hard peace
terms which Germftny ViaH laid down.
Thus, apparently without further
hesitation, the Russians are prepared,
in an effort to stop the inroads the
Germans now are making into their
country, to add to the enemy's already
vast holdings more of Russia's most
valuable western territory, extending
from the Gulf of Finland southward to
the Black Sea, and even to withdraw
her troops from Finland and give back
to the Turks what has been taken
from them In battle.
A Russian wireless government
statement received in London says:
"Germany will unew the peace ne-
gotiations and will conclude peace on
the following conditions:
"Both to declare the war ended.
"All regions west of thf? IItip indi-
cated at Brest-Litovsk to the Russian
delegation which formerly belonged to
Russia to be no longer under the ter-
ritorial protection of Russia.
"In the region of Dvinsk this line
must be advanced to the eastern fron-
tier of Courland.
"The former attachment of these re-
gions to the Russian state must in no
case involve for them obligations to-
ward Russia. Russia renounces every
claim to intervene in the internal af-
fairs of those regions.
"Germany and Austria-Hungary have
the Intention to define further the
fete of these regions in agreement
with their populations.
Washington.—Sixty-three American
survivors of the torpedoed troop ship
Tuscania were reported to the war de-
partment Monday as recovering In
rish hospitals from the effect* of ln«
juri«» or «Apunui'e6. The dispatch Said
none of the cases was serious and that
it was expected all the men would
soon be discharged.
All of the sixty-three had previously
been reported saved and the presence
of many of them in hospitals had been
recorded in prase dispatches, although
a later dispatch brought the first of-
ficial list of those in hospitals.
The list Included:

__________ clMred of Russian
trnonn and Wert GuMd,"
The surrender seems abject. Rus-
sia is immediately to send a delegation
to Brest-Lltovsk, there to discuss with
German representatives the finad de-
tails of the peace and sign the com-
pact.
At last accounts the German armies
in the east were giving no heed to talk
of peace, but, on the contrary, were
methodically pushing forward their
line over the more than 500-mile front
from the Gulf of Finland region to
Volhaynia, and still nowhere meeting
with any systematic attempts to .hin-
der their progress.
Numerous additional towns have
been captured and several thousand
more Russians made prisoner. In ad-
dition, zjearly three thousand Germrn
and Austrian prisoners of war have
been liberated by the invaders. Reval,
Russia's principal port on the Finnish
Gulf, is rapidly being approached, not-
withstanding the snow-covered roads.
The trcops here are being pushed for-
ward in forced marches, the desire of
the German high command evidently
being to capture the port, which would
be available if necessity arises as a
base for operations by a fleet of war
vessels against Kronstadt and Petro-
grad.
Meanwhile the internal situation in
Russia continue chaotic. So bad have
conditions become in Petrograd that a
state of siego has been declared by the
military authorities. Looting and other
reprehensible deeds will result in sen-
tences of death, it is announced by the
bolsheviki authorities, and all explo-
sives must, be immediately turned in
to the authorities on pa in of the hold-
ers being declared outlaws. Opposi-
tion newspapers have been suppressed
and other organs have been warned
that inaccurate information published
in them will lead to the arrest of the
editor and their stuffs,
Roumanian cut off from her allies
through her disaffection, at last has
-entered into formal'peace negotiations
with the central-powers, according to
advices reaching London.
Like a great tidal wave, the German
invasion of Russia rolls forward.
From Leal, In Esthonia, ti'9 Russian
province on the south shore of the
Gulf of Finland, On the north" of Uovao,
part of the famous triangle of fort-
resses which stood as a Muscovite bul-
wark in the early days of the war, on
the south, the Germans are still ad-
vancing.
The Teutons' forward movement has
taken the form of a cn ent, with its
oonvexed face toward the heart of
Russia.
