GUERILLA WAR ABSOLUTE SUBJUGATION T HANDS OF GERMANS, RUSSIANS __ ATTEMPTING NOMINAL DEFENSIVE | ON INVADERS Temporarily, Onrushing Teuton Hordes FALL OF LENINE IN DOUBT Reports That Government of Bol- sheviki Has Been Deposed Can’t Be Verified /-Amaterdam, Feb, 23.—A Russian Courier with the peace proposals of the Russian government has ar- rived in Berlin, according to ad- vices received here. The Nord- deutsche Allgemein Zeitung, the German semi-official organ, says the reopening of fighting with the Russians cannot be expected for some time. (Associated Press) Facing absolute subjugation at the-hands of the advancing Ger- mans, the Russian premier and eommander-in-chief have taken whtt steps they can to make at Teast a nominal defense against the invaders of their country. Or- ders that guerrilla warfare be car- ried on and placing Petrograd in avstate of siege have been issued by Lenine and Krylenko, and it is expected that the Germans will meet with some resistance: before long. That the Teutons can be temporar- ily checked, however, is doubted, even in Petrograd: The Russian army's debacle apparently is so complete that there fs no shadow of authority over its units. Berlin reports that the first | Esthonian regiment has deserted in a body and offered its services to the German commander who is operating in the northern-most Baltic province. The Russian navy, too, is completely » disorganized and, while it is. desired to withdraw the warships from Reval and Helsingfors to Kronstadt, it is be- Heved that this operation is impossi- ble, in view of the dis-use into which the ‘Baltic fleet has fallen. Only the submarine boats are in a seaworthy condition, it is reported. x Fall of Lenine, Unverified There’ is as yet no definite advices as to the rumored fall of the Lenine- _Trotzky government. The proclama- ,tion directing that resistance be of- fered to the German advance, how- ever, did not bear the name of Tretzky |. who hitherto has been a virtual dicta- stor which may be significant, \ The Germans have pushed still fur- ther: eastward in the past 24 hours. In the far north, the village of Hapsal, on the:south coast of the Gulf of Fin- land, has ben captured. Further south the city of Rieshitsa, about 100 miles east of Riga, has been entered by the Teutons, who report that they were welcomed by the people. Still further south, the village of Leuzin, east of Minsk, has been taken. Germans Are Silent It is noticeable that the German of- ficial reports are silent as to any Progress in the region of Lutsk, but Austrian troops under General Von ’Linsingen, who are exceeding Ukraine in her struggle for freedom, accord- ing to the Berlin report, have moved eastward and haye joined forces with Ukrainian forces which are converg- ing on the fortress of Dubno. ‘American troops, probably units of one of the national guard divisions taken to France late in 1917, are in ‘training along the famous Chemin- Des-Dames road, and have carried out a successful raiding expedition and incidentally have brought in the first | 1S LAST HOPE Small Chance of Checking, Even ant, who is married, claimed no ex- emption.

ARMED AUTO TAKES RUSS Pass, But Representatives Are Removed Petrograd, Feb. 23.—An official statement issued yesterday says: “The Russian pariiamentary messengers started in a motor car from Rieshitsa for Dvinsk, but near the station at Antonopol ‘were met by a German automo- bile armed with machine guns. The Russian motor car was al- lowed to pass, but the parliamen- tary representative and the com- missioner of the fifth army were detained and brought back to Rieshitsa in the German automo- bile.” : Rieshitsa is about 100 miles south- east of Riga and about 50 miles from Dvinsk, Antonopol is a village about 20 miles from Rieshitsa. It is pre- sumed that the parliamentary mes- sengers were carrying the formal ac- ceptance of the German peace terms to General Hoffman who is some- where along the Russian front. TO RESUME SHIPPING Amsterdam, Feb. 23.—Adices re- ceived here from Berlin yesterday says that it was announced in the joint sitting of the reichstag that it was planned to resume shipping in the Black sea after the mines have been cleared away. The plan is to expedite shipments to Germany from the Ukraine, Germany to supply agricul- tural machinery and implements in re- turn for grain. WADOO SAYS HE WILL MOVE FOOD AT ONCE Director General of Federal Rail- ways Denies Congestion Caused Famine TOOK IN MUCH TERRITORY Suggests That Administrator Hoover Indalged in Sweep- ing Generalities Washington, Feb. 23.—Director Gen- eral McAdoo yesterday gave assur- ance that “so far as transportation is concerned, there is no danger of suf- fering from a serious food shortage in the eastern part of the country.” This was prompted by the warning given last night by Food Administra- tor Hoover that unless grain and meat movement is greatly increased in the next 60 days, the country is threat- ened with an acute shortage of food, and the program of food shipments to the allies will fail, In a letter to Mr. Hoover, the director general declared that if the food administrator will give definite information on the loca- tion of stocks of supplies intended for the allies, the railroads will move them promptly to sea board. Simulta- neously the railroad administration gave out figures showing that the movement of grain to primary mar- kets in the west within the last ten days was far greater than in previous years. Hoover “Wide Talker” Although declaring their desire to avoid a controversy with the food ad- ministration, officials of the railroad directorate today did not conceal their unwounded prisoner captured by Un- cle Sam's forces. The heavy artillery of both sides is thundering over wide stretches of the French ‘front, along the Aisne, in Champaign and up in Alsace. ‘No in- fantry. fighting is reported, but the activity of the enemy artillery will - serve to keep the allies on the look- out Yor a storm of heavy German shells always has been the prelude to - @ hostile attack. The Germans claim to have ‘brought down 24 allied air- and two captive balloons in tbe three. days. : » "British Take Jericho “The British forces in Palestine have captured the city of Jericho, Austra- Han troops entering the city on Thurs- day. Aside from its historical and sentimental importance, the capture city gives Géneral Allenby con- ‘of a number of strategic roads which to move his men and their Plan past » ‘Within-24 miles of the present Brit- ‘ish position is the railroad from Da- Mascus to Mecca, which has been the attery which has fed the Turkish “ forces operating against the Arabian tribesmen. If this road were cut, it ‘would give the tribesmen great advan- tage in their struggle. Germany t has: officially recognized of peace arranged with belief that Mr. Hoover’s statement was not borne out by facts shown in their reports. Members of Mr. Mc- Adoo’s staff assumed the attitude that Mr. Hoover had dealt in generalties, not supported by figures or other evi- | dence showing such a pessimistic out- look on future food conditions. A railroad administration state- ment, without referring to Mr. Hoov- er’s declaration that the domestic and allied food situation can be solved only by loading 8,000,000 bushels of grain a day for the next 60 days, ex- plained that already 6,000,000 bush- els of grain are being loaded daily and | even better loading is in prospect. Unofficially it was declared that prac- | tically all the grain being offered by farmers and local elevators was be- ing hauled by the railroads under general priority orders for foodstuffs, particularly for grain in the west. It was suggested that farmers might not be bringing their grain to market as fast as they should.. Railroad officials also called attention to the fact that potato growers last fall held much of their crop for higher prices, and that! condition is partly responsible for the extraordinary offering at this time of potatoes which the railroads are hav-} ing some difficulty moving. | NONPARTISANS MUST HAVE SPECIAL LEAVE FOR THEIR POWWOWS the Iteliah campeign, has —_— Mankato, Minn., Feb. 23—A meeting for today was postponed indefinite- night so that it might not in- with MBN HELD 0 BE ENEMY ALIENS Four Soldiers at Camp Lewis Plotted to Kill Officers, COMMISSION Car Bearing Surrender Allowed to Is Charge From Ranks of 91st Division for Courtmartial Camp Lew Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 23.—Pour national army sol- diers are held in the guard house today awaiting a presidential war- rant from Washington whieh will mean their internment as enemy aliens who plotted not only to shoot their officers the first time they got into action in Europe, but also to deliver all the American soldicrs in their organization to the German army.

Thirty-four were discharged today from the service. Altogether about 200 men have been weeded out from ranks of the 91st division and the work is not yet com- pleted. The internment or prosecu- tion of those discharged today rests with the federal civil authorities. Face Death Penalty If the accusations are sustained, the men face death as the extreme penal- ty, and in any case discharge from the army and internment as enemy aliens, the judge advocate said. The arrests were made in connec- tion with the clean-up of Camp Lewis of enemy alien soldiers which already has resulted in about 200 men being dropped from service. A total of 34 men were discharged today. What disposition is to be made of them when they leave the army is for the civil authorities to decide. He Sold Discharges Private T. J.

C., Feb. 25.—Offi- cial dispatches to the Belgian legation yesterday told of further commandeer- ing by the Germans of young Belgians for military work behind the German lines and the fining of Louis Franck, a Flemish deputy, 10,000 marks for urging the Flemish people to stand steadfast in their resistance to Ger- man political intrigues. Franck was taken before a military tribunal and was threatened with de- portation, the dispatches said, but de- spite the German concern over the spread of the movement against the authority of the self-styled council of Flanders, this threat was not carried out. The judgment declared that since} the deputy was charged with having! incited a spirit of opposition, this was the last time that he. could hope to escape with a fine, Commandereing of men for work behind the German lines continues to grow, the despatch said. AtRenaix, an industrial town in eastern Flanders 360 young men were seized, many be- ing taken in the streets. Some had fled and the Germans threatened to take old men unless the young ones returned, Students were taken from an engl- neering school of Mons anu sent to work at an aviation camp, while in Luxemburg more than 600 young men have bene taken from villages for military work, WRECK VICTIMS ALL RECOVERING Majority of Passengers Hurt Have Left Miles City, Miles City, Mont., Feb. 23—All the persons who were injured in the Northern Pacific wreck near here last Wednesday morning ‘have sufficiently recovered to leave the hospital with the exception of Mrs. Mary Patrick of Butte.

IN BED; CANNOT | DEFEND HIMSELF | Plea That Charges of Sedition Be Held Up Has Received No Recognition, Miles City, Mont., Feb. 23.—Judge C. L. Crum of Forsyth, of the Fif- teenth judicial district, against whom affidavits have been filed in the state legislature charging him with making treasonable utterances, with a view of impeachment proceedings -being in- augurated, is {ll in bed. Judge Crum has been in the city for the past week in close atendance upon his 16-year- old son, who is ill in the hospital, in a critical condition. He wired the leg- islature Wednesday requesting that charges against him be held up until able to appear personally and defend himself; but his request was ignored. Yesterday an attempt was made to interview him at the Custer hospital, where his son is confined, when it was learn- ed that he is threatened with a com- plete breakdown and is confined to his bed. Under orders from: the at- tending physician an interview was re- fused. It was stated that his condition is considered serious. While it is stated that his condition is due'to worry over his son’s condi- tion; it is rumored that Judge Crum keenly feels the talk that has been aroused over his alleged disloyal ut- terances and the pending action of peachment proceedings, and that the serious allegations made against him have fully as much to do with his pres- ent condition as the illness of his son. So far he has made no public state- ment as regards the situation in which he finds himself, and at present, under his physician’s orders is not allowe? to make a statement in his own be- half. : NORWEGIAN LUTHERANS TO GATHER IM F. ee é Gate City Gets Annual Conven- tion of Big Church = The annual convention of the Nor- injured have continued their. journey.
