At the same time the American anti-aircraft guns were busy repelling attempts of enemy airmen to cross over the American lines. ‘Two German airplanes finally abandoned the attempt. A member of the military police to- day found three little French children, a girl and two boys, wandering along a road immediately behind the front, which is shelled frequently by the en- emy, and is considered very danger- ous. He turned the children over tc an ambulance driver, who returned them to their homes in a nearby vil- lage, SPECULATION IN GREEN GOFFEE I$ HALTED BY HOOVER Dealing in Unroasted Berry on New York Exchange Pro- hibited by Order Washington, D.

DEADLOCK REACHED. Reports from Brest-Litovsk in the last few days indicated a deadlock had been reached on the question of ‘Uk- raine. After the Ukrainian delegates had almost completed an agreement with the Germans and Austrians for a separate peace, the Bolsheviki sent -o Erest-Litovsk new delegates whom ‘hey said were the real representa- tives of the Ukraine. The representa- tives of the central powers anxious to mike peace with Ukraine and obtain {food supplies there, refused to recog- nize the new delegates, who represent the soldiers’ and workmen's deputies of Ukraine, whereas the first delega- ‘ion was selected by the Ukrainian Rada. TO CONTINUE NECOTIATIONS, ‘Amseterdam, Feb. 6.—The German; and Aupstrian-Hungarian minister, Dr, Kuehlmann and Count Czernin, left Berlin last night for Brest-Litovsk to continue the peace negotiations, ac- cording to a dispatch from the Ger- man capital.

HOME-MADE WINE--- ISITBOOZEOR - JUST WHAT IS IT? Tough luck dogged the steps of a; resident of a small town east of Bis- marck during a casual visit to Bis- marck. In some means he ‘accumu- lated while here several quarts of grain alcohol and numerous jars and bottles of fine home-made wine. Then he slipped, and the suitcase with its valuable load struck the sidewalk with a thud. Two of the bottles were broken, and a rich, fruit odor floated out over the landscape.
