OCCUPY LANDS Senate to Pronounce Judgment Later; Debarred From Office of Honor and Trust Forever. Teutons Move Toward Moscow From Three Directions, Where Capital Now Located; Slavs Flee Cities. 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. 43 AMERICANS NAMED IN LIST FROMPERSHING Washington, March 21.

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.

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. Sergeant Collects Funds For Nebraska Building Nebraska City, Neb., March 22.
