The injured were immediatelj taken to Curtis and were cared for in the homes of citizens, which were freely opened ju the absence of hos pital facilities. Indescribable scenes followed the wreck. Many received injuries from the burning wreckage, and the sur geons rushed to the scene by the Burlington special trains had all they could do to care for the injured. The mure seriously hurt were taken to Hcldrege last night. The wreckage caught fire from stoves used for heating the cars. All express and mail is reported saved. With zero weather prevailing, the work of rescue was carried on under great difficulties. Automobiles were pressed' into service for ambulances to rush the injured to Curtis.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Pres byterian church held their regular meeting, yesterday afternocn, and were very pleasantly entertained by Mesdames W. H. Newell, H. J. Streight and Miss Black, at the pretty home of Mrs. Newell. In spite of the severe cold weather, a large number of the ladles and their friends wended their way to the Newell home, where there was warmth and cheer within and one soon forgot how cold they got while on the way. The early hours of the afternoon was devoted to the busi ness session, after which the ladies indulged in various amusements, which made the occasion most en joyable to all. One of the pleasing features of the afternoon's entertain ment were readings by Mrs. William Baird and vocal selections by Mrs. E. H. Wescott, which were very much appreciated by those in at tendance. At the usual hour the hostess served lovely refreshments. A few moments spent in a social time and then the ladies dispersed, very much indebted to the hostesses for the delightful afternoon. MEET WITH MRS. DONELAN. From Wfliu-sJay's Iaily.

HAS TO GIVE UP FIGH TO SAVE SELF PROTEST TEUTON RENEWAL OF WAR BUT PROMISE TO SUB JUT TO CONQUERORS GERMANS ADVANCING OH HER Occupy Powerful Fortress of Lutsk Without Any Resistance on Part of the Slavs. The Russian bolshevik govern ment has capitulated, and announc ed its readiness, although protesting-I3-, to sign a peac compact under the hard terms imposed by Germany. Notwithstanding this fact, Teu tonic troops are advancing eastward into Russia over a front of 400 miles, from Riga, in the north, to Lutsk, a scant fifty miles from the east Galician border, on the south. Apparently, thus far the operation has met with no opposition. The northern reaches the Dvina river have 'been crossed by t he enemy; the important railroad town cf Dvinsk, whence roads run northeast ward to Petrograd and eastward to Smolensk, has been captured, and Lutsk, one of the famous fort r esse of the Volhynian triangle and form ing the gateway leading eastward to Kiev, has been entered without the Russians attempting to stay the foe. Protests German Attack. ' The omcial announcement of the capitulation was signed by Nokolai Leniue and Leon Trotzky 0:1 behalf of the people's commissaries of Rus sia. It protests against Germany at tacking a country which has declare:! the war at an end and which is de mobilizing its armies on all fronts, but, under the circumstances, it says, the government regards itself as forced formally to declare its will-' ingness "to sign a peace upon the conditions which had been dictated by the delegates of the quadruple alliance at Brest-Litovsk." The only indication that the enemy will meet with hindrance comes in an announcement by Ensign Kry lenko, the bolsheviki commander-in-chief. In his orders he instructs the Russians when they encounter Ger man troops to endeavor to persuade them to refrain from hostilities. "If the Germans refuse," he prldi. "the;: you must offer them every possible resistance." All Is Chaos in Russia. As yet there is no indication from German sources concerning the full intentions of the invaders, but it has been assumed that in the north the capture of the provinces of Livonia and Esthonia is contemplated and that in the south, in Little Russia, aid is to be lent the Ukrainians in stemming the tide of the bolshevik movement against them. Apparently, all is still chaos in Russia, with civil war in progress at various points, and the food situation daily growing worse. So serious has become the latter factor that Trotzky has been appointed food controller and given unlimited powers. Al ready he has ordered the arrest of speculators in foodstuffs. To Intervene In Finland. Rumors are current in Stockholm, according to a dispatch from Copen hagen to the Exchange Telegraph Co.. that the Germans intend to intervene at once in Finland. The belief prevails at the Swedish capital that the German action will be di rected against the unoccupied dis tricts of Courlaud and Esthonia in conjunction with a great naval at tack in the Finnish gulf. Trotzkv Appeals to Czernin. Berne, Switzerland. Feb. According to Vienna dispatches, Lecn Trotzky, the bolshevik foreign min ister, has forwarded a wireless mes sage to Count Czernin. the Austian foreign minister, reading: "The German government having re-established a state of war with Russia, without ven giving the seven days previous notice. I have the honor to ask you to inform me whether the Austro-Hungarlan gov ernment also considers itself in a state of war with Russia, and if not whether it believes it possible to reach a practical realization of the agreements worked out at Petro grad?" One way relieve habitual consti pation is to take regularly a mild laxative. Doan's Rcgulets ar recom mended for this purpose. 30c a box at all drug stores. Journal Want-Ads Pay!
