KAISER ENDORSED

Amsterdam. Jan. 15.-Lively ap-
preciation of the kaiser's defiance to
the allies and acquiescence in his
declaration that the entente's re-
fusal of peace shows their .'boundless
lust Of conquest" was expressed in a
message from the king Of Bavaria to
Kaiser Wilhelm today. according to
Munich dispatches. In part the king s
message to the emperor read;
"The strong words expressing in
dignation over our enemies arrogant
reply. find lively echo in all cur
hearts. All the German people share
your iron will to break our enemies
presumption--the enemies whose war
aims disclosed their boundless lust OF
conquest and desire for our destruc-
ton.
"The self-sacrificing heroism OF the
troops Of the empire and OF the people
will henceforth defy all attacks and
lead to victory. May God continue
with our just cause"

Lebknech has been in almost con-
stant trouble with the German au-
thorities for his anti-war and social
int speeches. both within and without
the reichstag. Probably the Zurich
report is the final sentence imposed
on Lenbknecht after an appeal which
has been pending for months.
The charge on which he was ar
rested was participation In an anti
war May day celebration In 1916 and
ON June 2s Of that year he was SEN
tenced to 80 months imprisonment.
He took an appeal and was re-sen-
fenced August 23 to four years and
one month. the court also deprivins
him Of all civil rights for period
Of s years. He appealed 3 days later.
The Zurich report OF his latest SEN
tence probably means Liebknecht has
again lost an appeal.

several places the Russians have
broken through the German lines and
tho positions they took were those
constructed In the Teuton's twelve

and great stretches Of marsh land. A

cannon and vast amount OF ma
terial--inciuding 100000 bottles OF

force OF the advance.

ments are given. II is believed they

Teutons are again making EFFORTS to
