the peace treaty demanded by the
Teutons. Coincident, with this de
mand, the German .advance into Rus-
ia lias been resumed. Tlure are ap
parently three columns of Germans
advancing into Russia. One is near
Lima., midway between Pskov and
I et rograd ; one is said to be at Pol
otsk, midway between Pinsk and it
ensk, and the other is at Sebezh, SO
miles east of Ivin?k. An oifieial re
port says that the Germans have
ra' hed the ri;:!it bank of thv Inicp-
r river north of Kiev.
That the situation in Petrosrad
s bttorne critical is retlecud in the
report thai the American and Japa
nese embassadors have reached Vol
t.prda, the capital of the Ilussian gov-
rnment at present and laying for to
the east of Petrograd. The Pritish
and French embassies also have left
th- Russian capital, but nothing is
known as to their whereabouts. j
Reports forwarded by the way of,
London say that the Russian troops
hp destroying railroad, property and
burning stores as they retire before
th Germans. At no point is there
i orious fighting reported, but the ad
vance of the Teutons is said to be
v. ut ious.
It was announced in a "dispute!!
tiiat Austrian troops have begun to
advance into Ukraine. This move
ment, it is stated, is in response to
an ar.peal from Ukraine probably duo
to the operations of t lie bolsheviki
there. Dr.' von Peydler, the Austrian
premier, said last week, that. Aus
tria was not participating in the in
vasion of Russia, adding that Aus
tria i; at paace with Ukraine.
An interesting side light on the
conditions at the beginning of the
war was revealed by Stephen Pichon.
the French foreign minister, during
an address at Paria. He declared that
lie could prove by I'ocunientary evi
dence that Germany rendered the
war inevitable. lie said that on July
"I, 1914, Germany demanded that
1 "ranee should give over the fortress
of Toul and Verdun as a guarantee
of the neutrality of France. Ger
many, M. Pichon added, offered to
re-tore the fortress after the close of
the war with Russia. Germany de
clared war on Russia August 1, 1LH4
and on France August 3.
German trench raiding operations
have been repulsed by the French in
several sectors of the line. At Chav
ignon, where the American troops
were taken prisoners, the fighting
was very severe. An attach by the
Teutons near Putte Du Mesmil, re
sulted in the capture of a section of
a French position, but an immediate
counter attack evicted the Germans.
The British troops carried out suc
cessful raids north of the Ypres
Stsden railroad and captured a few
prisoners. On the other sectors of
the front nothing of interest is re
ported. Among the terms of peace com
municated to King Ferdinand of Ru
mania by the central powers, was a j
demand that Ferdinand abdicate in
favor of his brother, Prince William
of Ifohenzollern. Prince "William re
nounced all claim to the throne on
the accession of his uncle. Prince
Charles, in 1SSG. lie was in com
mand of a part of the Teutonic army
which invaded Rumania in Decem
ber, 1916, and at that time issued a
proclamation declaring himself the
rightful heir to the throne.

Miss Nettie Jirousek, who is em-(

Washington, Feb. 2 S. An early
decision probably will be reached on
the momentous question of whether
America and the entente allies shall
join Japan in a campaign in east
ern Siberia to counteract possible
German activities in that quarter
i
and save the great supply of mili
tary stores accumulated at Vladivo
stok and interior points on the Siber
ian railway.
It had been understood that th's
decision might await the arrival in
Yvashington of Viscount Ishii. the
newly appointed Japanese ambassa
dor to the United States, but it was
said tonight that recent develop
ments, including increasing pressure
from entente sources, very likely
would cause a more speedy determi
nation of the question.
It is learned that this is not re
garded as a problem for the consid
eration, at the present stage at least.

France, which if it treats the sub

a military matter after the question!

governments oi n.e entente allies
and America.
It is freely admitted in official
circles that thi is a very great ques
tion indeed. A radical departure from

law would be involved in the forcible!
entry into a neutral country and'
consideration must be given to the'
possible effect upon the Russian
people of such a course in their re
lations to the present war.
Already there has been some ap-!
prehension that great numbers of
Russian soldiers rather than return
to their farms and shops, would j
voluntarily join the central armies,
and some evidence of a foundation
for this fear is found in Berlin dis
patches announcing the entry into

Taking Normal Course.
London, Feb. 2S. The German
army has received orders to stop its
advance into Russia, according to
the Petrograd correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph company, who
has received information to this ef
fect, which he regards as reliable.
When the kolsheviki government
agreed to accept the German peace
terms last week, the commander-in-chief
of the Russian armies inquir
ed of the Germans if the previous ar
mistice would be renewed and the
German invasion halted. He did not
receive immediate reply and the
German advance continued. A dis
patch from Petrograd on Wednesday
said that General Hoffman, the Ger
man military representative at Brest
Litovsk had replied to the bolshevi-
ki communication by declaring that
the advance would continue until a
treaty of peace was signed and car
ried out along lines laid down in the
German peace terms.
Germans Get Many Rifles
Berlin, Feb. 28. (British Admir
alty, per Wireless Press) Germany's
military operations on the northern
Russian front are taking their nor
mal course, the German general staff
announced today. Another Esthonian
regiment has placed itself under
command of the German staff.
In Minsk the Germans captured
fifty thousand rifles and two thous
and machine guns.
The text of the statement follows:
"Eastern Theatre: Operations are
taking their regular course. In Es-
thonia the fourth Esthonian regi
ment has placed itself under our
command to clear the country of
bands overrunning it.
"In Minsk (occupied by the Ger
mans February 21) 2,000 machine
guns and 25,000 rifles were captur
ed."
I'mm Thursdays Iaily.
H. F. Langhorst. of Elmwood,
chairman of the democratic state
committee, visited Governor Ne
ville's office Wednesday. After hav
ing won a glorious victory in the last
state campaign Mr. Langhorst was
willing to accept an appointment to
the office of state food commissioner,
but Governor Neville overlook him
and chose another for that position.
This incident gave rise in Nebraska
to a new political expression, name
ly, "Langhorsed." Now Mr. Lang
horst is being asked by his numer
ous friends to be a candidate for
governor. "Whom will you appoint
food commissioner when you are
elected governor?" asked one of his
friends. "I will appoint Governor
Neville if he will accept it," he re
plied. State Journal.

He has answered the call to arms.
And proudly he stands arrayed.
In his uniform of blue.
As the national hymn is played.
The navy claims him now.
For four long years he'll stay.
While mother bravely smiles at him
To keep the tears away.
Of course she is proud of his act.
But a trial you know it must be.
To see the only son she lias.
Depart for the tleep blue sea.
But when he returns victorious,
We will all shout for joy,
Tho he was not raised to be a soldier
We are proud of our Sailor Boy.
