M PEACHED ON INTO RUSSIA TO WILL BE GIVEN
SIX ARTICLES! OCCUPY LANDS

Forever.

Helena, Mont., March 22. Charles
L. Crum. former judge of the lth
iudicial district, was impeached today
by the senate on all six articles of
impeachment, there being a few dis
senting votes on only one or two
minor articles. Then senate is to pro
nounce judgment later.
In the judgment againsft Crum, he
uas forever debarred from hoM:ng
office of honor, trust or profit in Mon
tana. Crum was charged in the impeach
ment proceedings of seditious utter
ances and acts. He was not repre
sented at the hearing, and it waa4
said at the capitol that he had left the
state. He resigned his office iast
eek.
Ordered Direct Verdict
The impeachment of Judge Crum
for alleged high crimes and mis
demeaners and malfaisance in offce,
grew out of the trial of a workman
named Ves Hall, charged with viola
tion of the espionage act, in that he
uttered treasonable sentiments. Hall
was dismissed upon a direct verdict
declaring the espionage act had not
been violated because his language,
while treasonable, did not tend to in
cite mutiny or rebellion.
At this trial Judge Crum appeared
as a character witness for the de
fense. Shortly after Hall was dis
missed Crum met Falkner Haynes,
county attorney of Rosebud county,
and one of the prosecuting attorneys
in the Hall case.
Haynes accused Crum of pro-tier-
man sentiments and high words were
passed. The nien were separated but
feeling ran so high that there were
several encounters about Helena that
night among partisans of the two men.
Judge Crum placed himself under
the protection of a United States
deputy marshal.

Moscow. March 21 Notwithstand
ing that peace with Germany has been
ratified by the congress of workmen's
and soldiers' delegates, the German
advance in Russia still continues, the
evacuation of Pctrograd having served
only to change the German objective
to Moscow.
According to reports printed in the
newspapers this morning the Germans
are moving toward Moscow from
three directions, southwest, west and
northwest. From the. gouthwestthey
recently advanced 25 miles from Ko
notop, province of Tohernigov. in the
general direction of Bryansk, which is
235 miles from Moscow by rail.
March On Smolensk.
From the west the Germans are
approaching Smolensk, which is about
250 miles from Moscow. In the north
west they have captured the station
of Rosenovhkya, in the government
of Vitebsk.
The order to evacuate the hospitals
and other institutions in Gfhatsk, 100
miles from Moscow, indicates that a
further German advance is consid
ered imminent by the government.
The governments of I'oltava, Khar
kov and Tchernigov have all been de
clared in a state of siege by the Uk
raine government in an effort to save
Kharkov and prevent a further ad
vance by the Austrians supporting the
Ukraine bourgeois rada.
M. Tchitcherin of the bolshevik
troops is negotiating informally with
the Ukraine for peace and he hopes
formal negotiations will open shortly.
Dakotans Would Draft Men
To Assist All Farmers
Tierrc, S. D., March 22. A biil au
thorizing county councils of defense,
under the direction of the state rotin
cil, to register and conscript men for
labor on farms, was passed by both
houses of the South Dakota legisla
ture today. The measure gives county
councils complete power to drart any
man for farm labor and provides a
penalty of three months' imprison
ment and a $1,000 fine, for attempts
at evasion of the draft.
The bill is particularly aimed at un
employed in cities, who refuse to ac
cept farm work. The law, however, is
sufficiently to permit drafting of lysi
nes men and other at the discretion
of the various councils.

HEARING BY U. S.
President Wilson Hands Down
Rulipg; Will Be Assigned to
Noncombatant Duty if
Case Proven.
(B.TAo(-lated Tr.)
Washington, March 21. President i
Wilson toiiy directed that conscien
tious objectors, drafted into the na
tional army :.nd who are unwilling to
accept tion.:ombatant service as pro
vided in the draft law, shall, in ex
treme cases, he confined in disciplin
ary barracks, but when they, do not
actually disobey a command, shall be
held for whatever disposition the sec
retary of war may make of their
cases.
Kacli objector is to he given the,
benefit of a full explanation of tiiv
law by a "tactful and conscienti'v:
officer" and co far as possible will I
given the choice of a wider range of
activities, including almost every
thing except actual fighting.
Will Report Names.
After April 1 and each month
thereafter, division, camp and post
commanders are to report to the sec
retary of war the names of all con
scientious objectors with a brief
statement of the character of the ob
jections of each one. Tending de
cision of the secretary of war, they
will be segregated as much as pos
sible in the camp, but will not be sub
jected to undue hardship. The ex
ecutive order of the president does
not set fortn what action the secre
tary of war may finally take. ,It does
state, however, that men who will
fully disobey a command, shall be
court-martialed, and may be confined.
Objectors who have no preference
will be assigned to the medical corps,
Init they may serve, in the quartermas
ter department, all branches of which
rendered noncombatant, in any engi
neer work "n the United States, or in
the rear of the zone of operations
abroad. The last department includes
work on auxiliary defenses, wharves,
docks, supply depot services and
other activities requiring thousands of
men.
All Must Report.
Any man who is drafted, but fails
to report because of alleged consci
entious scruples will be treated as a
deserter.
The draft law provides that the
claims for exemption on grounds of
membership in a religious sect
against war, -hall be considered only
when it 1s determined that such a sect
is of recognized authority, 'hjkI in ex
istence before the United States en
tered the war.
