Germans Advance In Russia In Order

* * & ee .* #

To Enforce Signing of Peace ‘Terms

London, Mareh 2:—An ultima-e
tum has been handed to the Rus-
sian Bolsheviki government by
the German commander on the
eastern front, who has given the
Russians three days in which to
sign the peace treaty demanded
by the Teutons,

The German advance into Rus.
sia has been resumed. ‘There
are apparently three columns of
Germans advancing into Russia.
One is near Luga, midway be-
tween Pskov and Petrograd, one
is said to be at Polstk, midway
between Pinsk and Vitensk, ahd
the other is at Sebezh, eighty
miles east of Dvinsk.

The Russian troops are des-
troying railroad property and are
burning stores as they retire,
The Teuton advance is cautious.

consider it necessary to end the
present state of anarchy in Si-
beria is believed by many,

it says, three-fourths‘of the globe
consists of oceans, all of ‘which
are controlled - by. ‘the ‘Allies.

ing 38,842,000 square miles. and

Third, the Allies have contro} of

the Allies have already conquered
92 per cent of. the German em-
pire: and 67 per cent of the Otto-
man empire as they were before
the war. This comprises nearly
2,000,000 square miles, On the
other ‘hand, the ¢entral powers
the central powers have conquer-

eight times the size of Germany.
But it might be objected: that;
most of our gains are outside of
Europe, and that “African terti-
tory is less valuable than Enro-
