Russell G. Hughes, first Omaha boy
in the American army to die in battle
in France, was popular as a student at
Central High school. He .is de
scribed by 'his former teachers as
bright, cheerful and studious.
During his junior year his mother
died. This caused a great change in
the boy, who soon lost interest in his
school worl. After dropping out for.
a while, he returned to school, but
never regained his former interest in
his work. At the end of the year he

NOT HELD BY FOE,

trian Prisoners Occupy
. Communications.
(By Associated Press.)
Moscow, March 22. Rumors that
Austrian and German prisoners of
war have occupied the trans-Siberian
railway ae characterized as an abso
lute falsehood in a dispatch received
by LeonTrotzky, the bolshevik for
eign minister, vin response to inquiries
made of the representatives of the
bolshevik commissaries at Irkatsk.
, Under M. Trotzky's instructions, di
rect telegraphic communication has
been established with M. Stremberg,
commissioner of military affairs, and
M. Jansen,, president of the central
executive council of the All-Russian
soviet, both of whorii are at Irkutsk.
Protest Against Lies.
Replying to questions concerning
reports relative to pnsonersthey said
"Rumors about the occupation of
Siberian railways by German and
Austrian prisoners of war are abso
lute falsehoods. Prisoners of war, not
armed, are grouped -all along the Si
berian railway line and guarded by
armed patrols. We protest against
the spreading of deliberately false ru
mors by foreign representatives, who
further complicate the Russian situa
tion." -
, It is reported from Blagovieshtch
ensjc that during an uprising of the
white guards there the members of
this force fired upon Chinese in the
city and attempted to create dissen
sion between the bolsheviki and the
Chinese, but fled when thj Red Cross
entered the city. The Chinese popu
lation is friendly to the bolsheviki.

Th- next day, according to the de
serters, 11 Germans were killed and
30 wounded while taking out the

American intelligence officers are

New Concrete Trenches.
An American patrol last night en
tered the enemy first line and re
mained there six hours, but did not
see any of the enemy. ' It is reported
that the Germans recently had con
structed trenches that are concrete
half way up the side.
Great activity continues behind the
enemy lines. Wrfhin the last four
days a number of rock crushers and
concrete mixers have. been brought
up and there; are signs that the Ger
mans intend to construct a number of
new pill boxes opposite the American
fronts Several trains of material have
arrived at towns in the German lines
during the last 24 hours.
Today's reports say that three
German airplanes flew over various
parts of the American front line at
daybreak and fired their machine guns
on our positions. Their efforts; how
ever, were without result. (

(By Associated Tress.)
Moscow, March .22. The soviet
government is rapidly disarming and
disbanding the old army, and eliminat
ing its influence from public affairs.
' The ' Moscow v soviet ' has removed
from its executive committee all sol
dier representatives and similar action
is taking place throughout Russia.
The new voluntary army will se
lect representatives in the various
Soviets. The old soldiers are unwill
ing at many places to surrender their
arms and return to work. At Petro
grad three -regiments declined to be
demotl'ized The Petrograd soviet
has issued 'a statement, saying that
these regiments were under influences
contrary to the revolutionary move
ment. All Leave Petrograd.
In explanation of the government's
evacuation ot retrograd; the soviet
has issued a statement saying the
commissioners went to Moscow for
the purpose of saving Petrograd from
destruction.
All available rolling stock is being
used for the evacuation of Petrograd
along the Trans-Siberian railroad to

-The entire western end of the
Trans-Siberian railroad is congested
with trains of machinery, guns, am

Prisoners Disinterested.
Many prisoners when interviewed
by the Associated Press correspondent
show little interest in the war, es
pecially the Austrians, who apparently
have no desire to return home. Some
of them sought medicines from the
American Red Cross unit for sick
comrades, and did not know that the
United States had entered the war,
Vologda, where the American em
bassy is now located, has. suddenly
developed from a provincial city with
a population of 60.000 to a congested
transfer point with a large floating
population. Military missions of many
nations leaving Roumania and "Uk
raine have gathered there awaiting
transportation toSiberia or Kola and
Petrograd.' Every inch of space in

bumpers is occupied by refugees. All
the stations are crowded with men,

REGAIN
WON BY
1 NINETEEN ENEMY DIVISIONS ENGAGED.
London, March 22. Nineteen enemy divisions were iden
tified in yesterday' fighting:, Reuter's correspondent at British
headquarters wires. He adds:
"The whole ting is too big to be able even to sketch or
visualize easily. Thus far the enemy has paid a colossal price
for such small gains as represent the (ruits of his mighty effort."
CLASH ON WIDE FRONT.
The great battle on the western front continued until last
night, the war office reports. The British are holding the
enemy. " ; -
, The statement from the War department says:
"Fighting continued until a late hour last night on "the'
whole front between the River Oise and the River Sensee. Our
troops continue to hold the enemy in the battle positions.

heavy fighting is still to be expected." v
"Battle positions" are defenses directly behind the first

mans' penetration has been limited.
It is not yet possible to give more than a very general and
vague idea of the fighting Thursday on' the front between the
Oise and the Sensee, which continues with swaying fortunes,
according to the accounts of correspondents at the British front

The German attack made on the British, front west and

HOLLAND TALKS
BREAK WITH U. S.;
TO RECALL ENVOY
Duty of Allies to Maintain In
ternational Traffic for Na
tions That Cannot Exist
Without It.
Amsterdam, March 22. A dispatch
from The Hague to the Handelsblad
says one of the most prominent mem
bers of Parliament intends to'askjhe
government .whether it is not time to
recall the Dutch minister at Wash
ington and hand passports to the
American minister at The Hague.
Commenting upon President Wil
son's proclamation regarding Dutch
shipping! the Algcmcn Handelsblad
says it consider? that' there ndw de
volves upon the allied powers the
moral duty of maintaining interna
tional traffic for states which cannot
exist without it. Continued refusal
to permit Holland to obtain grain
from Argentina, it says, would be a
serious matter for both parties.
1 he Jelegraaf says it is wrong to
speak of rejection of the allies ulti
matum by Holland. It asserts that
the Dutch government acceded to
the proposals of the allies as far as
was compatible with its position as a
non-belligerent and adds:
Maintains Holland's Rights.
"The ultimatum was thus accepted
in principle, but in such a form' as to
maintain Holland's rights as against
America's unlimited power. The
Dutch government thereby acted iq
accordance with the principles set
forth by President Wilson in consid
ering a future peace based upon right
above might"
The Nieuws Van Den Dag says it
is a singular fact that both Dutch and
the allied governments seem to have
little knowledge of the course of
events. It adds:
"One would be inclined to ask
whether there is someone in between
who is holding up reports."

"The British front in the area of at

the enemy could pinch off this salient!
and run his line straight in a north-l
westerly slant instead of having ' it
run ab an angle first north and then
west, he would be able to hold it with
fewer troops.
Would Take Britishers.
"Also, in pinching it off he would
hope to surround and capture a good
number of British troops. These, 'it
seems plain, are his aims in the first
stage of the offensive.
"The enemy is trying to repeat on a
larger scale the operation by which
he won back some of the ground we
gained in the battle of Cambrai. Then
he pushed in on an angle of our front
both from the north aad the east. His
two bodies of troops did their best .to
join hands, but. could not make it,
though they had at first considerable .
success. . "
"Much the same design is beitijr
followed now. We have good reason
to hope that it will be checked as wis
the previous one.
