WILL scoRN INTRIGUEs

Washington, April 1S.-Assurances
reached Washington today that under
no conditions that are now conceiva-
Bile will the provisional government Of
Russia yield to the overtures from
Germany and Austrian socialistic rep
resentatives to negotiate separate
peace.
Looked on With Dread.
The entente embassies with this as
surance before them, frankly con-
fessed great relief.
The gathering OF socialists at Stock
holm, known to be fomented by Ger
mans and Austrians. was looked upon
with dread and suspicion and it was
feared that cunning appeals to the al
truistic principles of socialism, the
universal brotherhood of workingmen,
and such considerations might force
the provisional government to consent
to a separate peace to terminite the
war.
1t was learned from an authoritative
source that these apprehensions and
misgivings were based upon misunder-
standing of the aims of the extreme
socialistic element in Russia and of
the real strength of the provisional
government.
Want to Carry Idea by Force.
So far as completing any peace a
the basis OF existing governments the
advanced Russian socialists want to
carry their democratic ideas by force
into the enemy countries, and to ap.
peal to their brother socialists in Aus
tria and Germany to rise in revolt,
overthrow the monarchies and es-
tablish true socialistic republics in
their places. i
This movement is reported gather
ing strength rapidly in Russia amorg
the soldiers and workingmen. The
former are falling into line again to
renew the. campaign in. the east and
the workingmen are going back to
their shops to turn out shot and shell
and powder on the greatest possible
scale. From every quarter comes as
surances of support for the provis-
ional government.

the much maligned state senate the

the passage of workable prohibition
law, if speeches made in that body
this morning show the true situation.
The bill now goes to the governor
and will become law.
Final disposition of the bill came
before the upper body this morning
and was the subject Of much oratory
and considerable Alphonse and Gas
ton comedy.
The first vote came on motion
TO adopt the minority report of the
senate committee, consisting of Mat
tes and Moriarty. Robertson, the
other member of the committee, had
Joined the house committee in ma

Dry Element Scored.
Moriarty scored the dry element in
the state roundly, calling them long
haired fanatics and other like names.
He did not like the bill in its present
form and should not vote for it, but
it was better bill than the dry crowd
had been backing, which, he said, was
drawn by school boys and fanatics.
He paid tribute to Robertson and
Flansburg as the only reasonable
men on the committee after he and
Mates had withdrawn.
The vote on the motion to adopt
the minority report was lost by 26 10
z. Adams, Kohl, Mates, Moriarty.

Fresh Fighting in Champagne.
Berlin (Via London), April 1S--

the German war office says:
Near Arras there is nothing new
to report.
"On the Aisne front night attack
brought small gain of territory to

Counter Attacks Repulsed.
Paris, April 1S-Important prog
rcss was made last night by the
French in their attack east of Sois-
sons. The war office announces the
capture of Chavonne and Chivy. The
French pushed on north OF these
points, reaching the vicinity OF Braye-
En-Laonnois.
The Germans made three desperate
counter attacks in the Champagne
last night. They were checked by the
French, who inflicted heavy losses on
the attacking troops. Since Monday
the French have captured upwards
of $4,000 unwounded Germans. In the
Champagne large numbers OF machine
guns and trench mertars have been
captured and also twelve cannon, in
Guiding three of large caliber.
!, The latest French victory, while on
a smaller scale than that of Monday,
is an equally important success. Both
of the sections attacked hadsbeen left
alone hitherto on account of the ex-
ceptional natural strength OF the Ger
man position. The French command
held that an assault could only be
successfully undertaken when over

SaUe the Potato
Peellngs to Plant

Mrs. William Stewart, negress,
advises Omaha people to save the
eyes when peeling potatoes, her ex-
perience having been that these
eyes will produce healthy plants.
She raised potatoes in this manner
last season. .s-.
E. 2. Russell, editor of the Twen-
tieth Century Farmer, said: "One
eye will produce a plant. 1t is ad-
visable to peel thicker than usual
where the eye is taken out. My
father did this many years ago
during hard times in Tennessee. 1t
is practical idea"
