(By Associated Prew.)
While the greatest battle in history
continues to rage in bloody fury in
northern France, the riddle of Rus
a menaced counter-revolution Of stag
gering possibilities For the moment
the provisional government has the
upper hand, but the voice Of the radi-
calls grows louder and more threaten
ing every day demanding concessions
which would make existence Of an or
gantzed government impossible.
No Common Aim.
The wild current of intrigue and
dissatisfaction which are in evidence
in Petrograd are the more confusing
as the opponents of the revolutionary
government offer no coherent program
and seem to have no common aim.
The capital is boisterously vocal, but
back of 1t the vastnesses Of Russia lie
silent, with not hint to tell Of what
the massss of the people are thin king
or doing. An indication 4ofAsthe Ger
man view Of the situation is given by
report that the best German troops
have been withdrawn from the eastern
front. their place been taken by Land
sturm and landwehr divisions.
Base Attack ON Note.
As far as news dispatches indicate,
the radical insurgents in Petrograd
are basing their attack on the May
day note sent to the allies by Foreign
Secretary Milukoff, affirming Russia 8
determination to fulfill her obligations
to the entente and vigorously prose-
cute the war against Germany. Tho
provisional government has energeti
cally supported this position and the
ministers declare they will resign
rather than modify the stand taken BY
NJ. Milukon.
| No Decision In Batt1e.
On the battlefront in France there
u no sign az yet Of decisive issue to
tho tremendous battle which is raging
day and night along 100-mile front
The French have battered their way
Q little closer to Laon and have
stormed one OF tho great natural for
tresses guarding the southern end Of
the Hindenburg end. By the capture
Of Craoone. they have forced ajar the
/ baokdoor to LAon, but there are
mighty obstacles still in their path.
Big Obstacles
| Craoone formed one Of the two gun
crowned heights at the head Of a
broad valley leading to the French
goal. The other which remains un-
subdued, is the sinister Brtmont pla-
teau. from which the German guns
thunder daily against the ruins Of
Rheims cathedral. Thousands of lives
have been spent in vain in an effort to
storm this plateau, but its capture is
vital to the French advance.

WILSON WANTS ACTION
ON COLOMBIAN TREATY
Asks Sen. Stone TO Get Matter of
Paying Indemnity Before
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Pres't
Wilson has sent a letter to Chair
man Stone of the senate foreign
relations committee urging action
during this session of congress on
the treaty TO indemnify Columbia
for the separation of Panama
1t has been indicated recently that
there would be no action on the
Columbian treaty during this ses-
sion, but the president is very anxi-
Gus that il be ratified, so as to clear
away one of the potent sources of
friction in pan-American relations.
The president is said to have
pointed out that in the event Of
hostilities between the United States
and a foreign power, it would be
unfortunate if any misunderstanding
existed with any country in this
hemisphere. Sen. Stone called a
meeting of the foreign relations
committee for next Wednesday to
lay before it the presidents letter.
