Esthonia, agreed with the Bolsheviks on a truce at Dorpat

on Wednesday week. The Bolsheviks recognized the independ- ence of Esthonia, and accepted a frontier which leaves Nerve, but not Pskoff, to the Esthbnians. The truce was to last eight days only; and to be renewable until denounced. We have yet to see whether the Bolsheviks will 'keep it. The refusal of General Denikin to recognize Esthonian independence doubtless helped the Bolsheviks in their negotiations at Dorpat. We comment on the' situation elsewhere.r.
