But, apparently, no peace for the Russians is imme- diately in store. Capture Russian Cities On the contrary, the Germans con- tinue to overrun the country from the Gulf of Finland southward well into little Russia. Reval, Russia's port on the Finnish gulf, together with its fortress, has been captured; Pskov, situated on the railway about 1% miles southwest of Petrograd, is in enemy hands, ard southward along the entire-line the invaders every- where are steadily pressing eastward, and on their southern wing have form- sed a junction with the Ukrainians at Zhitomir, 85 miles west of Kiev, which town it is their anounced purpose. to) 8! take from the Bolshevik elements holding it, No. Fight by Ruasians Although it is announced that Reval was taken ‘after a battle’ it is doubt- ful if serious resistance was offered the Germans by the Russians still holding :the town, for up to Sunday the invaders had made no mention of hav- ing come within sight of Reval.

Profiteering | by labor slackers and supply contrac-} tors was denounced in the senate to- Dakota, republican, 9s typifying the spread of what he called a Bolshevik | movement in this country. The sena-j tor delivered a two-hour prepared | speech, declaring profiteering was en- ; couraged by government officials, charging that labor unionism “is graceful manner” in shipbuilding, and rging enactment of his bill to draft men between 18 and 62 years of age. “Criminal Waste,” Charge Republican Leader Gallinger fol- lowed with an attack on. “criminal | | waste and extravagance” in gover e in office would be held responsible. Senator Hollis of New Hampshire, democrat, and Senator Phelan of Call. fornia, replied with vigorous défense) of labor’s record. The latter observed | that a republican “drive” in the com- ing campo was being announced. | 1. W. We.

Profiteers, labor slackers and govern- ment officials who fail to stand against them were assailed by the Unless conditions change, the sena- tor declared, only. a collapse of the central powers can save the allies from defeat. The senator began with a denunciation of the Bolsheviki sur- render, Damnable Treachery “Search the world’s history,” de- clared Senator McCumber, “and noth- ing can be found even to approach this most damnable treachery to the faith- ful and bleeding allies—this blackest treason to country and national honor, “With this spectacle of national im- potency and disgrace before you and enlightened by the appalling condi- tions in our shipyards, is it not about time we were turning our attention to the ‘Bolsheviki doctrine of those n our own country who are paralyzng the arms of the government and im- periling the lives of our soldiers in France?” Shameful Effect Here “So, too, we have seen the effect of this Bolsheviki sentiment, ‘more, | still more, always more’, regardless ot justice, regardless of patriotic duty, in the shameful delay in ship construc- tion on which the very life of a great world principle depends, and we are told that all munition plants, every be reduced to the same condition of impotency as the shipbuilding pro- ram. can people to accept this challenge.
