Critics Believe Germans
Will Start New Drive on
Northern Russian Front
BY Associated Press

Petrograd, Jan. 2S.-Early renewal
of military activity along the northern
end of the Russian front, in the Riga
and Dvinsk districts, is forecast by
Russian military critics. Their expec-
tation is based in part on the unusual
activity of German air craft in recon-
noitering the Russian lines. Not only
aeroplanes, but Zeppelins, are being
employed.
This activity, in connection with in
formation obtained of the prisoners
captured in Bukowina concerning re-
moval of German troops from that re-
gion, leads to the belief that the Ger
mans may be preparing an offensive in
the north for the purpose of counter
ing the Russian attack in Bukowina.
Along the Stripa river the artillery
fire of the Teutons is increasing daily
in intensity and il is assumed they are
preparing an offensive under cover of
the bombardment. Trench battles, in
which hand grenades and mines are
employed, are occurring along the
banks of the Dneister and between
Boyan and Rarance. Boyan is imme-
diately to the east of Czernowitz, which
indicates the Russians are holding con-
quered territory close to that impor-
tant center.
The comparative inactivity in Buko-
wilma during the last few days is ex-
planned by seasonal conditions. Mud
is knee deep, which is said to have
had much to do with bringing op-
erations to a standstill.
AS for the Caucasian campaign,
there has been no official report of q
further advance.

bad AMERICANS.

Chicago, Illinois.-In an editorial en-
titled "Bad Americans" the Chicago
Tribune observes: prohibition lead
ers have begun a campaign which is
dangerous to the safety of the country
and utterly discreditable to themselves.
The plan is to pledge 100000 voters
to vote against any party and any
candidate who does not openly favor
national prohibition, regardless of his
views on national defense, or foreign
policy, and on industrial preparedness.
1t is asserted that 100000 people in
this country believe that all intoxi-
cants should be prohibited. There are
at those figures about 95,O00,OO0 who
do not believe with them.
The above statement means that
5000, 900 voters will be asked to saeri-
fee every issue, however pressing and
however necessary to the national safe
ty, to the one issue of forcing prohibit
ton on this country. The seriousness
of such a pledge may be gagged today
when we think what it might have
meant in 1860 and 1864. Such tactics
might have led 100000 voters to vote
for disunion and for a continuance of
human slavery"
At time when Negroes were being
held in physical and mental bondage,
as is true of many of them in some
parts of the South today; when Ne
gro suffrage is suppressed, and when
the enforcement of the 18th and 18th
Amendments is held in allegiance, it
would indeed be discouraging if 5000
900 voters, or any number of such
voters, for instance, could permanently
band themselves together against the
enforcement of the War Amendments
that is, if they could get away with
it,
