HEAVY FIGHTING IS
 ANTICIPATED SOON
BATTLES ARE IMPENDING IN FLANDERS, FRANCE AND
 ITALY.

New York.-Although infantry ope- rations in the major war theaters are of a minor character, it is probable that big battles are impending in Flanders, France and Italy.
 At various points in these three war zones, intensive artillery duels are going on day and night. They are particularly severe in the region of Ypres and the Cambrai sector, where the British are facing the Ger mans, along the Aisne, on the Verdun sector and along the Moselle river and in the Italian highlands from the region of Lake Garda eastward to the Piaya river.
 West of Ypres in Flanders, the Ger mans made an attempt to enter Brit ish positions, but were repulsed with heavy losses. An attempted raid against the French positions on Hill BOA in the Verdun sector was stopped with heavy losses to the Germans. These two maneuvers constitute the only activity by infantry forces at any points, except that small British patrols at several places forced cross ings of the Piaye river against the Teutonic allies.
 The British War Office has issued a summary of the British captures and losses in the war during 1917. The total captures on all fronts numbered 114,544 prisoners and 781 guns. The losses numbered 2S,379 prisoners and 166 guns. The items include:
 "Western theater 73,131 prisoners; 53l guns captured, and 27,200 prison CTS and 166 guns lost. Palestine, IT, 646 prisoners and 108 guns captured. Mesopotamia, 15,944 prisoners and 124 guns captured No guns were lost in any theater except the Western"
 The official statement from Ger man great headquarters reads:
 "Western theater. Violent artil- !ery duels developed during the after noon east of Ypres and on isolated sectors between the roads leading from Arras and Peronne to Cambrai Between the Miette and the Aisne and on both sides of the Ornes and the west bank of the Moselle artil lery and mine firing increased. The infantry activity was limited to fore field reconnoissances.
 Conditions in the Eastern theateI and on the Macedonian and Italian fronts are unchanged"
 "A raid attempted southeast oi ypres," says the report from British headquarters in France, twas repuls ed with loss by our rifle and machine gun fire.
 "The hostile artillery is active in the neighborhood of Passchendaele.'

GERMANY POSTPONES
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
DISSATISFIED WITH PROPOSALS FOR PEACE MADE BY THE
 TEUTONIC ALLIES

New York.-The peace negotiations between the central powers and the Bolsheviki government in Russia have been temporarily suspended" by the Germans.
 From the meager adyices received. it appears the rock upon which con- tinuation of the pourparlers split was the demand of the Russians that the conference be resumed at Stockholm instead of at Brest-Litovsk. Dissat- isfied with the proposals for peace made by the Teutonic allies, before the recess of the Brest-Litovsk con- ference, Leon TrotZky, the Bolsheyiki foreign minister, has been insistent on the deliberations being held on neutral soil instead of at the German | headquarters. The Germans had been equally as firm in their deter imitation not to treat with the Rus sians at any other place than Brest- Litovsk
 German adyices were that the Boi- sheyiki delegates on finding that the representatives of the Teutonic allies were at Brest-Iitovsk awaiting them, had started for this town, but nothing has come through to show that these had any foundation in fact. The de- cision of the Germans to discontinue the sittings were arrived at during crown council held in Berlin, which was attended by Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General von Luden- dorff, first quartermaster general. l A belated dispatch from Berlin gives as the reason for the refusal of place where peace might be advan- | tageously discussed the fear that Brit 1 ish. French and American diplomats l in the Swedish capital would by in- trigue render all endeavors futile.
 Dispatches from Berlin indicate that although the Reichstag parties in the main are supporting the gov ernment considerable political unrest is prevalent and that strong efforts are being made to hold the Socialists in line. The Socialists organ in Der lin characterizes the situation as ex- traordinarilS serious.
 | Although the weather continues cold and much snow lies on the gronud in northern France there has been considerable activity by the infantry in the Arras sector in Flanders and on the eastern part of the front along the Moselle river. Near Bull9court the British have recaptured in a couI- ter-attack the sap taken from them by the Germans. There were inter mittent artillery duels along the en- tire battle front.

RUSSIA MAY RESUME
 PEACE CONFERENCE
PEACE DELEGATES RETURNED TO BREST-LlToVSK FOR
 FURTHER POuRPARLERS.
CRISIS IN GERMANY ACUTE
Brought About Over Annexation PoI- icy of the German Government and Those Who Would Grant More
 Liberal Terms.

New York.-Unofficial advices say that the Russian peace delegates have returned to Brest-Litoysk for a re- sumption of the pourparlers with the enemy delegates. No confirmation has been received. A Berlin dispatch received in Copenhagen says that Russia's representatives arrived at Brest-Litovsk and that the negotia- tions reopened.
 Foreign Minister Trotzky accom- panied the delegation. Official con- firmation of this report is lacking. but probability is lent to it by the fact that neither Russia nor the Central powers had declared officially that the peace negotiations have been broken off. Germany suspended the negotiations temporarily because it could not meet the Russian request that the conference be transferred to Stockholm.
 The political crisis in Germany brought over the annexation policy of the government is most serious, ac- cording to reports from neutral capi- tals. It is reported that General von Ludendorff, as leader of the militarist group, threatened the resignation of himself and Field Marshal von Hin denburg, should the government con tinue the support of von Kuelhmann's plans. In London it is felt that the Central powers will be compelled to answer Premier Lloyd Georges state ment of war aims, which apparently has brought about better feeling in Great Britain. The German newspa- pers in their comment express disbe- lief in the sincerity of the British pre- mier's words

SOME WORDS ABOUT EMETlNE
Medical Journsi Says Care Must Be Exercised in Using Poison for
 Treating Pyorrhea.

The great increase in the use of emetine hydrochloride in the treatment Of pyorrhea and in amoebic dysen. tery makes timely warning by the Journal of the American Medical As eociation to the effect that the prepa- rations of this drug now on the market vary widely in their strength, and that at least one reputable manufacturer is Supplying product so unusually toxic as to prohibit it's use, at any rate in anything approaching the ordinary dose"
 This warning is based upon two cases at Johns Hopkins medical clinic in which symptoms of poisoning and in one instance death resulted from the administration of emetine hydro chloride in the usual way. As result of these, Drs. R. l.. Levy and L. G. Rowntree analysed specimens of the drug and found the variations noted.
 This is all the more important ir view of the many quacks who are ad vertising "cures' for pyorrhea, most of which consist of emetine.

in connection with Lns maintenance operation and development of the roads should, during the period ot the war, be wisely related to the financial operations of the government. Our
 sg 5utv is, of course to conserve the common interest and the common safety and to make certain that noth- ing stands in the way of the success ful prosecution of the great war for liberty and justice, but it is an obhgar ton of public conscience and of pub lie honor that the private interests We disturb should be kept safe from m just injury, and it is of the utmost consequence to the government itself that all great financial operations should be stabilized and co-ordinated with the financial operations of the government.
 "No borrowing should run athwart the borrowing of the federal treasury and no fundamental industrial values should anywhere be unnecessarily i'm paired In the hands of many small investors in the country, as well as in national banks, in trust companies, in financial agencies of every kind, rail- way securities, the sum total of which runs up to some 10 or II thousand millions, constitute a vital part of the structure of credit, and the unques- toned solidity of that structure must be maintained.
 McAdoo Right Man,
 'fThe secretary of war and 1 easily agree that, in view of the many com plex interests which must be safe guarded and harmonized, as well as because of his exc ptional experience and ability in this new field of gov ernmental action, the Hon. William G. McAdoo was the right man to assume direct administrative control of this new executive task. At our request, he consented to assume the authority and duties of organizer and director general of the new railway administra- tion. He has assumed those duties and his work is in active progress.
 "It is probably too much to expect that even under the unified railway administration which will now be pos sible, sufficient economies can be af- feeted in the operation of the rail ways to make it possible to add to their equipment and extend their ope- rative facilities as much as the pres ent ext aordinary demands upon their use will render desirable without re- sorting to the national treasury for the funds. If it is not possible 1t will of course be necessary to resort to the congress for grants of money for that purpose. The secretary of the treas. ury will advise with your committee with regard to this very practical as- pect Of the matter For the present, suggest only the guarantees have in- dicated and such appropriations as are necessary at the outset of this task. l take the liberty of expressing the hope that the congress may grant these promptly and ungrudgingly. We are dealing with great matters and will, am sure, deal with them great ly'

Testing a RulIet-Proof Coat.

A personal friend of mine, writes g correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, had an amazing experience with bullet-proof armor When he was in Paris at the beginning of the war,sa fluent French inventor persuaded him to give him an opportunity to demon strate in England a thin chain-armoI shirt, which he said would resist any bullet or bayonet. A sample shirt had been hung up and fired at with satis. factory results, but it was with some skepticism that my friend attended the official demonstration.
 However, to oblige the inventor, he pun on one of the shirts to show it's comfort and fexibility. It was then that the inventor achieved a dramatic effect, for he whipped out an auto matic pistol and blazed away straight at my friends chest Fortunately the armor proved successful. Before he had recovered enough breath even tc protest, a war official grasped him warmly by the hand.
