SAYS GERMANY
IS VIOLATING
RUSSIAN TRUCE
Alleged that Teutons Are
Taking Men From Eastern
Front for Western Sector.

Washington. Jan. 29.-Charges that
Germany is violating the terms of the
Russian truce by withdrawing troops
from the eastern front and trans
ferring them to the Western battle
lines were made today by the war de-
partment.
The war department made this
statement:
THE general staff of the United
States army announces that the Ger
man military authorities are evading
these terms of the Russian truce
which provide that German troops
were not to be withdrawn from the
eastern front for use in the west, dur
ing the peace negotiations. German
| troops on the Russian front are being
allowed to go home on furlough.
These soldiers are then transferred to
recruiting stations and sent to the
western front.
THE troops are taken in this way,
man by man, for two reasons-frst
because it deceives the Russians and
secondly because the eastern troops
have been so Influenced by the Rus
sian revolutionary propaganda, that
the German military chiefs have de-
cided to separate the men and scat
tered them in unaffected western regi-
, ments."

SOLDIERS BALLOT
BILL SIMPLIFIED
House Committee Holds up
Bill Aimed at Sabotage
and Similar Practices.
(By George A. Benson }

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 29.-The new
conference committee on the seed
grain bonding bill. it was reported,
guaranty eliminated but retaining the
sa1e 6f bonassbX the commissioner Of
agriculture and e - Is
After it became apparent that the
senate would stand firm for the coun-
ty bonding bill. which Governor Fra
Zier said was wanted when he called
the extra session, the house members
decided to receive the reports. it is
said.
In an attempt to get the senate to
stand by the report of the conference
committees, Senator Cahill, a league
member, moved that the senate bind
itself to stand by such reports when
unanimous. The motion was lost after
brief but heated debate. Senators Hy-
land, Mcbride and Paulson declared
they did not propose to give up the
right to act independently or object
to any report of the committees. The
Cahill motion was made in anticipa-
ton of a report on the seed bonding
act He has been a warm supporter
of the state guaranty feature.
The senate elections committee will
report the soldiers ballot bill elm
mating the commission and applying
ton. The machinery for primary is
too cumbersome. as it necessitated
sending three ballots to soldiers and
much change in the law.
The house labor committee is refus-
ing to report out the sabotage bill, it
was reported. The bill is aimed di-
rectly at those ]. w. w. members and
others who burn crops. elevators and
warehouses and otherwise hamperine
harvesting of crops. It's reception in
the house is another chapter of the
failure of all anti-I. w. w. legislation
at the last session. the reason for
which became apparent when Town
ley sought to load farmers up with
I. w. W.'s.
The house has called the guard bill
passed by the senate. but the units al
ready organized may get recognition
for the council of defense bill pro.
vides for it. This bill is in the second
conference committee, with the divi.
sion over power of appointment. The
Senate vast district judges to name
the council, while the house want the
governor tt do it,
Both houses passed the resolution
by j. f. 4. O'Connor. asking the u. s
senate to pass the woman suffrage
When the bill permitting the coun.
Gil OF defense to show patriotic pic.
| lures on Sunday came up in the sen.
ate this afternoon, it was indefinitel,
postponed.
Prospects of adjournment still are
uncertain, as the deadlock on the
council of defense. seed grain and
home guard bills still was unbroker
at $3.50 o'clock.

the Germans had masked their real

were mistaken. This is not the posi-

government. We still insist on a
democratic peace.
When the nation has become ex-
hausted and when all the efforts that
have been made have proved unsuc-

the nation to conclude an undemo-

Enemy Surprised by Unex-

IN MACEDONIA
German Artillery in Vigor-
our Action on Arras Front
British Patrol Lost.

Italy has furnished military sur
prise by launching an attack of ap-
parently considerable force on her
mountain front in. midwinter. The
blow comes on the Asiago plateau
where the Austro- German invaders
were halted early in the winter in
their effort to push down to the Ital-
ian plains west of the Brenta river.
Berlin heralded the attack yester-
day in reporting the breaking out OF
a violent artillery duel in the Setti-
Communi region-the Asiago sector.
Its force was reported to have reach
the vicinity Of Col Del Rosso, which
height stands about midway between
Asiago and the Brenta.
In the lack of more definite news
the probability suggests itself that
the Italian effort is one somewhat
similar to that of the French few
weeks ago east of the Brenta which
resulted in a penetration of the Aus
tro-German line for a considera bic
distance and the subsequent with
drawal of the enemy from rather
extended area.
