Germany's humiliating peace terms
have becn accerted unconditionally
by the Belsheviki. A Russian dele-
gation to sign the terms of surren-
der is to start at once for Brest-
Litovsk.
The German artillery was silenced
promptly after American guns near
Toul directed a heavy retiliatory fire
on enemy batteries which had con-
centrated their fire on an American
position, evidently with the inten-
tion of obliterating it. Those bat-
teries since have fired scarcely a |
shot, evidently having been put out
of action.
The Germans, in a trap, must give
battle on the western front against |
their own wishes, according to the
view expressed by allied military
chiefs and reported in a special
cable dispatch to the Herald from
Paris. The dispatch reveals the fact
that French opinion believes that
the seizure of Russia by the Huns
may be preliminary to the conces- |
