GERMANS SENDING
 TROOPS WESTWARD
TRoSZkY, BOLSHEVlkI FOREIGN MINISTER, CALLS ATTENTION
 TO THIS FACT.
PEACE IS EXPECTED SOON
Newspapers Announce That DeIega- tion From Enemy Powers Are Com ing To Petrograd To Participate
 in Peace Conference.

Petrograd. Ensign krylenko, com mander in chief of the army, reported to the Bolsheviki headquarters that the Germans are transferring troops in very large numbers and as quickly as possible to the western front against the allies and also to the southwestern Russian front.
 Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister has called the attention of the peace delegation to this fact. 4 special dispatch from Brest-LitovsN announces the Germans were not ready yet to reply to the Russian peace terms and consequently the meeting of the peace delegates was postponed.
 Minister Trotzky has sent a tele, gram to his delegates at Brest-Litovsk, in this connection, declaring that if the Germans refused their Socialists passports, this would create such | bad impression in Petrograd that it was deemed necessary that the Ger man official delegation which is ex- pected here Thursday should go to Stockholm instead.
 The Bolsheyik commissioners have issued a manifesto to all Russian workingmen declaring that as the ar mistice probably will be transformed at an early date into a general dem ocratic peace to all the European peo- ples. preparation of military equip nent is a waste of national labor and funds and that consequently the out put must be stopped immediately anG replaced by the production of peace supplies, which the country needs.
 The newspapers announce that a delegation from the eoeDv pov CTS is coming to Petrograd 10 partic.l ate in a conferenee presided over by Trot zSy, to discuss the political aspects oi an eventual peace conference.

ANARCHISTS PLOT
 MAY BE WORLDWIDE
GOVERNMENT AGENTS UNCOVER EVIDENCE OF REVOLUTIONARY
 KIND-ADMIT SuSPICiONS.
ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT
No Objection Will Be Raised By Gov. ernment To Any Agitation Which Does Not Interfere With the Prog
 ress of the War.

Washington has been uncovered by government agents in- dicating that American Industrial Workers of the World, Russian Bol- sheviki, Irish agitators and reyolu- tionists in various countries at war with German may be seeking to lay the foundations of an elaborate world wide plan to overthrow existing social orders.
 This was admitted by officials here in connection with news of the dis covery of a quantity of rifles, revoly- CTS and ammunition in the Russian freighter Shilka. which has just ar rived at a Pacific port manned by mutinous Bolshevik crew. Govern ment agents suspect that the guns and munitions were intended for the h. dustrial Workers of the World in this country, although it was said full report on the mysterious cargo has not yet been forwarded by officials at the port of arrival.
 The Shilka incident is only one of many cases leading officials to believe the connection between plotters in several of the allied countries may be more tangible than the indefinite link of moral sympathy. Certain Irish agi- tators and Industrial Workers of the World leaders recently have gone from the United States to Russia, af- ter being in close touch with each other here, and reports have been re- ceived that Bolsheyih organizers would come to America before long to spread their doctrine of direct action for communal organization.
 No objection will be raised by the government to any agitation which does not interfere with the progress of the war, officials declare. Officials do not intend to use the war exigeneies as an excuse for suppressing free speech, except in so far as it leads to hampering the government in the fight against the central powers. This ba- sis of judgment, however, is feeegniz- ed as broad, and will permit drastic action against foreign agents whose conduct directly or indirectly fosters Cermanys war aims.
 Action will be particularly swift, of ficials say, when armed resistance to the law is threatened, and when other material forces are employed by the agitators. Customs inspection will serve to prevent importation of arms, and the close supervision of crews of incoming and outgoing vessels is ex- pected to make impossible the traffic of communications on large scale intended to foster revolutionary activ- ity. There still are means of import ing money into the United States, but the government agents can trace re- mlttances and keep a watchful eye on suspicious expenditures. Exports Of money are governed so strictly by the government that officials are certain that the chance of American financing of revolutions in other countries is slight.

ACTIVITY OF TROOPS

FIGHTING THAT Is IN PROGRESS is MERELY IN THE NATURE OF
 OUTPOST ENCOUNTERS.

New York.--On the fighting fronts, even in Italy, the activity of the troops is below normal Ill France and Bel gium, the fighting that is in progress is merely in the nature of outpost en- counters and bombardments, while on the Northern Italian front, the enemy has lost the initiative, which is entire " in the hands of General Diaz's men.
 The situation on the Italian front is not expected to remain long as it is, however, for the Austro-Germans are constantly bringing up heavy re Endorsements and a return 10 their offensive. which has in view the gaining of the Venetian plain. is to be expected
 Reinforced by British and French troops and newly equipped in every department, the Italians now are prepared to sell. and at dear price. every inch of ground that the Austro- Germans may take.
 The official statement, issued In Ea1ue. reports only local encounters, tdctailing three instances in which 4ialian troops made successful raids Un enemy posts and mentioning half a dozen places where the enemy unsuc- cessfully attempted raids on the Italian lines.
 On the Piave plain there were ar aillery actions of moderate intensity.
 In Argentina, demonstrations in ia vor of the South American republic entering the war against the Teu tonic allies contine as result of the latest exposures of German intrigue in disaptches sent by Count Von Lux burg. the former German minister to xhe Foreign once in Berlin. Extreme bitterness is being evinced by the pop uIace against Germany and demon strations arc daily taking place. which require the use of troops to Tepress. The present week is expected to see the Argentine Congress take a hand in the question as to whether Argen- tina shall enter the war
 The recent raid by German aicraft over the English coast was without result, SC far as casualties or material damage are concerned. One of the Gerplan machines was brought down during the raid.

YOUR BOYS CHUM.

If you are father, are you acquainted with your
boys chum? Do you know him to be ftcompany for him.
Every normal boy has singled out from his friends and
acquaintance one particular chum. This chum is his
'other SELF all of the other SELF ne will have until
years of maturity develop in him the sex attraction.
If you have studied boy nature or even if you can re-
call your own boyhood days. you must know that they
the days when the lasting impressions of life formed
1t is also the period when the domination of strong per-
sonalty is most potent for good evil weaker
more plastic nature.
Have you studied your boys chum? Is he stronger
or weaker of purpose and character than your boy? If
stronger all the for you to know his real char
acter for he is to impress his personality upon
your son as that strength overcomes weakness.
The boy rarely develops habits traits of character
ACQUIRED from mere chance acquaintance or from sang
ers 1t is from his ntmates that he absorbs ideas that
become fixed in the mind and develop into character
Hence the imperative necessity that those ntimates be of
the right character.
Some think it risky business to attempt to regu-
late sons friendships Admittedly So yet you have it
in your power to in large degree control the matter
Every normal boy has great respect for his father
provided that father deserving of his respect The first
STEP therefore, to secure and deserve the boys conf
dence This accomplished little tactfu consideration on
your part together with personal interest in his every
dav life ought to give you control of the situation
But the surest way to control the matter is to const
tute yourself the boys chum. This can be done if the
matter is taken in hand early in the boys life.
To every young boy his father is model of perfec-
ton His first boyish ambition is to initiate father If
that father is deserving of imitation and will cultivate his
bows confidence the problem is solved.
Every father should seek first place in his boys conf
dence He should make certain that he stands higher in
the boys regard than all Others And as the years
he should see to it that the bond is strengthened instead
of weakened But this only be done by fully entering
into the life of the boy and making his life your life
1t will pay better than any other investment you can
make.
