This'announcement ls made in an ofllclar RuBsian statement received by wireless. It adds that Russia will send. a delegation Immediately -to Brest-Litqvsk. A Russian government wireless ad dressed to the German government at Berlin announces that a parliamen tary roproaentatlvo left Petrograd Sunday at noon for Dvlnsk for the purpose of transmitting to the Ger man-high command at Dvinsk Rus sia's official reply to Germany's peace conditions.

To Meet Hard Terms. Tho Bolshevik! government in Russia, represented by Nikolai Len in? and Leon Trotzky, has acceded to the demands of Germany and an nounced Its readiness to accept the bard peace terms which Germany has laid down. Thus, appa ron tl y, without further hesitation, tho Russians are prepared in an effort to stop the Inroads the Germans are making into their coun try, to add to the enemy's already vast holdings more cf Russia's most valuable western territory, extending from tho Gulf of Finland southward to the Black Sea, and even to with draw her troops from Finland and give back to the Turks what has been taken from thom in battle. Abject Surrender. The surrender seems abject Rus sia is immediately to send a delega tion to Brest-LltovBk, there to discuss with German representatives the final details of the peace and sign the compact. At last accounts tho Gorman armies in tho cast were giving no heed to talk of peace, but, on tho contrary, wore methodically pushing forward their line over the moro than 500 mile front from the Gulf of Finland region to Volhynia, and still nowhere meeting with any systematic attempts to hinder thoir progress. Prisoners LHiernted. Numerous additional towns- have boen captured and several thousands more Russians made phisonors. Tn addition nearly 3,000 Gorman and Austrian prisoners of war have boen liborated by the Invaders. Russia's principal porj. on the Finnish Gulf ls rapidly being approached, notwith standing thc snow-covered roads. The troops here aro being pushed for ward in forced marches, the doBire of tho German high command ovtdently hoing to capture tho port, which would bo available, if necessity arises, as a baso yfor operations by a fleet of war vessels against Kron stadt and Petrograd. Meanwhile tho internal situation in Russia continues chaotic. So bad have conditions become in Petrograd that a stato of siege baa been deelar ed by military authorities. Death Gio Penalty.

Forcing Rumanians Under. , Rumania, cut oft from her allies through the disaffection of Russia, at last has entered into formal peace ne gotiations with the Central powers, according to .advices reaching Lon don. Those past masters in Teutonic allied politics, von Kuehlmann and Czernin, respectively the German and Austrian foreign ministers, and Ra doslavoff, the Bulgarian premier, are treating with M. A ve rosco, the Ru manian premier, at a point near Bu charest. Doubtless, as were the terms imposed on Russia, the peace conditions that will be offered Ru mania will be hard ones. Already they are said to embrace territorial acquisitions for Bulgaria and ?conomie preferences for Ger many and Austria. Ambassadors Iieuving.

In this campaign all our people are urged to unite, for thc prime ques tion of the hour is the making and saving of food and feed. The farm is the second line of defense. Let us man lt for victory. It is the highest demaud of patri otism-lt ls the first requirement of living-that every State, every coun ty, every community, every farm, be this year as nearly self-sustaining as possible. A great crisis confronts us. Rus sia has just failed and fallen because of hunger. We must keep hunger from our doors, else in this land of bounty there be hunger in our homes' and hunger across the water, which would spell ruin for all that is worth while in life. There can be no excuse for any man not taking his full share of pres- I ent responsibility. We must stand solidly behind President Wilson and the National Administration In this hour of National peril. R. T. J ay nea, Co. Chairman. .J* .I* "v* *$* .?* "t" .!* "?* .?* *?* *|* "?* .!* .j.

It ls hy far the most serious from tho point of fatalities that has over oc curred In South Carolina, they? assort. Stopped for "Keilira. All tho killed and a vast majority of tho Injured were riding in train No. 18, running from Oreen ville to Columbia. Soverul of tho injured occupied trnin 12, which hit train 18. lt appears that something got wrong" with, the air pipe of train 18 when it got below Frost, nnd it was Stopped, on the main line to repair tho dam age. Flagman H. Lockllor wns sent out, it is said, to protect the rear of the train. When the trouble was dis covered and remedied tho flagman was signalled to come back to his trnin, which had Just begun to get under way when the accldont occur red. Trala 42, in charge of Conduc tor W. H. Golston and Engineer F.B. Long, running from Spartanburg to Columbia, carno around tho sharp curvo at this timo (nd crashod into the roar coach of train 18. Wooden Coach Telescoped. - The rear coach, which was of Bteel underfrnme, telescoped the mlddlo coach of train 18, one of the old style woodon conchos. The coach was crushed from the rear ond and tho seats were smashed together in a jumbled mass. Tho occupants of tho coach, all men, were crushed between the seats. It was in this coach that the ton instant deaths occurred and a largo part of tho seriously injured burt. Tho stool framed coach waa practically uninjured, except the ends, which were crushed in to some extent. The combination conch of train 18, occupied exclusively by ne groes, was not injured and was used to bring tho dead to Columbia this af ternoon. Crashed on Curve? Tho accldont occurred nt a sharp curve In the road, which at this point runs between Broad river on one side and a high hill on tho other, lt la probable that the engineer on tho train ?2 did not seo tho other train* until it wns practically on it. Tho force of the collision justified this conclusion. As roon as the accldont happened the members of both train crews and the uninjured of tho passengers bogan to assist the hurt ones. Those who were injured wore taken out of tho wrecked coachcp and laid upon the hillside until another Lain could como from Columbi.". The hillside had the appearance of a btttlcfield. Many were lying down, ol hors were stnndlng and many were nea ted with stricken looks on their faces. Itelief Train Start*. As soon as Columbia could be com municated with F. S. Collins, super intendent of the Columbia division, equipped a relief train and started for the scene of tho wreck shortly after 3 o'clock. Tho train carried BIX doc tors. Tho injured and uninjured were placed upon this train and im mediately brought to Columbia, the hurt being immediately placed in tho thrco hospitals hore. The middle coach of train 18 was such a mass ot debris that it was some time bofore the number of dead could be ascertained. The injured and dead were taken out of the aper tures and the windows of this car. Five dend bodies were found in one spot under a mass of wreckago and another was hanging out of tho win dow of the conch. Some of the dead and a few of tho injured Dad to be pried from benonth tho wreckago. i lot ii Trains rilled. Both trains, said railroad officials to-night, woro crowded with passen gers, but were not so filled that any of them were without seats. As New berry College had closed down be cause of tho meningitis situation in Newberry, a largo number of stu dents from that Institution was on tho train, nono of them was killed, but several were slightly injured. As soon ns news of tho wreck was learned in Columbia several hundred automobiles went to tho scene. It was Impossible to take tho cars to the wreck, bt?t they were driven up tho Monticello road and the occu pants walked throe or moro miles to whore tpc accident happened. They gave all aid possiblo to the injured and assisted in extricating tho dead from tho wrock. Train 18 was manned hy Conductor J. A. Meredith, (Engineer B. Frank Nicely, Flagman H.
