LONDON, March % General Nj
Dsiie's lightning like advance with
his French army has apparently
placed him in position to smash
through tne famous .Hindenberg

Likewise. General Halg, in SUI

approached so near ST. Quentin that
lie, too. is threatening TO break
through the formidable defenses the
Germans constructed with the ex-
penditure Of SO much time and labor
Today's dispatches from the front
were rneager but. nevertheless, they
give sufficient facts TO Justify mill
tary observers here in limiting that
perhaps the time for opening the
spring offensive is at hand.

IN THE FIELD, March 22.--The
horror of the German retreat grew
today when it became known that
the Teutons at Rouviile Petit coll
lected about two hundred old people
and children, in addition to the usual
population of the place, and then
deliberately shelled the village. a
number Of these defenseiess inno-

AS the Germans fall back under
the relentless AngIo-French pressure
the ugliest side of the war is uncov-
cred. Hideous evidences of yandal-
ism abound everywhere. But the
most hideous OF ali is the human
wrecks left behind They stared at
the incoming British and french
troons with eyes made Wild by suf-
fering. Their faces We're drawn ard
pinched and their eyes wore aa eN-
preston of insanity caused by a
brain dulled by the lack Of proper
sustcnanee. The faces Of the babies
and little children presented 4 hor-
rible picture. No one had tasted
meat in six months or more.
Wherever we went we heard
praise OF the American relief Gem

the foremost villages behind ths
German lines. The people. nowev"r

Particular significances attaches
to the above story in view OF the
fact that it was Berlin that gave the
first news OF the revolution by
which the ears regime was over
thrown. Various stories from Pet
rograd have indicated only slight
differences of opinion among the
government leaders. but the new gov
ernment controls the censorship and
presumably made use OF the censor
ship machinery left by the old
regime. The fact that the allied
governments have withheld recogni-
tion of the new Russian government,
coupled with the disinelination OF
British statesmen to comment on
the situation may be a further in
dicatiop that conditions in Germany
dication that conditions in Russia
are still very serious.

tion, that discipline OF the army has
relaxed and that various factional
differences now smouIdering may
break out again
According to the Stockholm infor-
nation the streets of Petrograd are
filled with speakers who are spread
ing socialist propa ganda and are
working against the present pro-
visional government. Anarchistie
pamphlets have been given wide
spread circulation. Some Of the old
government elements are aiding In
this distribution.
The Petrograd police have been
replaced by students whose authority
is not respected By the masses of
the people. the report stated. The
behavior CT the soldiers In the streets
of the Russian capital shows utter
laxity The men have refused TO sa-
Lutte the officers and seem to lack
control The populace has been
moved to pitch OF excitement
where there is no telling what they
may do. Travellers arriving In
Stockholm declare team 1000 per-
Isons were killed in rioting in Petro-
grad and 1000 injured.

1T will help us preserve chastity
and virtue and will aid mothers, ia
theirs and daughters in their own
lives and neighborhoods," said Bish.

These comments were passed al

over five hundred clergymen gather
ed at private performance of Ivan

ty film, "Enlighten Thy Daughter"
Before the performance DR.. Greg

tiers would see and profit by the 81
