FRANCIS SORRY
NOTE TO SOVIETS
4 OFFENDS KAISER
.German Foreign ; Office - De-
i dares Statement "Nothing
" Else But Call for Russia
' ;-, to .Continue War."
Bt Associated Press.)
Moscow. Friday. March 31. "If I
flad thought my statement wmifd lie
displeasing to the Oennan toreign
flice, of course. I would not have
made it was the comment ot Ambas
sador David R. Francis when advised
of Germany's objection to American
encouragement of the continuation of
the war.
The German foreign office note to
' the soviet government said that Mr.
Francis statement was "nothing else
but an open call upon Russia to re
new war with Germany and the Ger
man government and expects that the
Russian government will give aiuwer
which would he compitable with the
treaty signed witl the central
powers."
The soviet foreign office replied:
Ambassador Francis' statement is
only a portion of President Wilson's
message which was answered by the
soviet congress, and the same reso
lution passed by the congress ap
proving the treat is the best answer
to the German telegraphic inquiry."
Says Treaty Violated.
After qouting the resolution ap
proving the Brest-Litovsk treaty, the
soviet reply was:
"The foreign office rests assured
. that reference to the above facts is a
sufficient and satisfactory reply to the
German foreign office and states that
, as the German advance is extending
beyond purely Ukrainian territory
the Brest-Litovsk treaty is being
violated 'there. Germany, should
state definately what exact boundaries
she has fixed for the Ukrainian re
Bpblic." r: . -
"l The German protest was sent to
the bolsheviki government because of
the declaration by David R. Fraiicis,
the American ambassador, that Rus
sia would become German provinces
if it submits to the peace terms of the
central powers. -

Leader of Russ Cossacks
; Surrenders to Bolsheviki
. IBy Associated Press.) ' i
Moscow, March 31. General Bo
gayevsky, assistant chief of "the Don
Cossacks and leader after the suicide
of General Kaledines, has surrendered
to the bolshevik. He issued a procla
mation to his followers calling upon
thera io give up their futile opposi
tion, saying the fight against the bol-
sheviki was a mistake, as it is a move
ment of large masses and the civil
strife has only weakened the country. J
It is the general feeling that the
Kaladines movement has died out. Of
its principal figures, General Alexieff,
is hiding in a small village in the
Cacusus an General Korniloff, with
a hnnrifut of followers, i. still vainlv
. opposing the boSiieviki, but according
to indications his days are numbered.

New Planet Discovered
Only Four Miles in Diameter
A new minor planet, discoveVed by
Prof. Wolf on January 3 by photog
raphy, is remarkable because while it
was nearly in opposition to the sun,
it was adavneing rapidly in right
ascension, instead of retrograding. Its
period is almost exactly four years.
It was nearest the sun on January 3,
the day of discovery its distance
being 109,500,000 miles and jrom the
earth 20,000,000. In two years it will
reach its greatest distance from the
sun-iOOO.OOO miles.
It ; is an extremely minute body.
probably not more than four miles in
diameter and' it will scarcely be ob
servable except in the years when it
is nearest to- the sun. The next near
approach will' be early in 1922. Thef
inclination of the orbit of the new
planet to the. ecliptic: is 9 degrees. It

Bakers Not Allowed to .
Use Rye as a Substtute
Rye flour canno longer be used as
a substitute by bakers. This ruling
came to Gurdon W Wattles, federal
food administrator, from Washington
yesterday afternoon.
. So little rye flour from this year's
crop remains that further use . by
bakers as a -substitute will deprive
the rye eating people, who live mostly
in large centers, of the supply -upon
which they depend, says the Washing
ton ruling.
While rye has uever been a sub
stitute" permitted by, 'housewives,
bakers have been allowed to use it,
the time limit being March 30. Ef
forts have been made to get the food
administration to extend, the time,
but because of the gret amount of

MONTDIDIER REGION
HOLDSATTENTION
Washington Officials Await
With Intense Interest Detailed
Eeport of Drive on French;
Advices Conflict.
(Br AsWlated Press.)
Washington, March 31. Officials
here tonight awaited with intense in
terest more dolailed reports of the
German drive against the French in
the region of Montdidier. Conflicting
reports to the trench embassy late
today from Paris and issued By the
British war omce in London early to
night left the situation in doubt -
An official dispatch to the French
embassy saying the French reserves
had stopped the German advance on
a 25-mile front from Lassigny to Mo-
reuu caused elation and were taken
by officers to indicate the German
army was rapidly losing its driving
power. A few hours later, however,
the British war office statement told
of the capture by the Germans of six
villages in the region of Montdidier,
and added that on a part of that front
heavy fighting continued and that the
situation was unknown.
Full Forces Used.
Officials were hopeful that the ad
vices to tht French embassy were
based upon later information from
the French front than was the British
war office announcement ,The state
ment in the French dispatch that re
serves had. stopped the Germans was
accepted as meaning that the full force
of the reserves were used after the
Germans had advanced. The French
official war office statement, how
ever, was expected to clear up this
point. , -
Members ' of the senate military
committee during the regular meet
ing today with War department of-
hcials were shown on the map in the
war council rooms the status of the
great battle as reported .by General
rersbmg. Ihe meaning of various
maneuvers was explained by officers
and the senators were not inclined
later to, underrate the seriousness of
the- German menace. They were told,
however, that the battle was shaping
itself well for the counter blow, and
when they left the council rooms they
had high hopes of the possibilities of
that movement. . )
Consideration of reports "of oroeress
on American war preparations was de
layed, until' the battle situation had
been gone over, Senators were not in
clined to discuss the progress reports.

have a more personal part in war work
than the mere giving of money, which 4
is - the reason that she will travel
across the continent to sing for the
soldiers.
Miss Wilson's repertoire includes
12 songs, ranging all the way from

songs. Most impressive of all are the
songs which the soldiers usually sintr
