The morning broke with leaden
canopy covering the heavens. The
start of the parade was at 10 o'clock
and as the line moved an unseen
hand drew back the curtain and the
sun beamed in glory upon the little
handful of blue, gallantly following
it's national standard with the same
spirit when the nation lined up at
an invisible line and fought father
against son, brother against brother,
the victorious north uphOlding the
banner that today waved SO proudly.

Their immediate objective in this

les of Russia, which still bears the
marks of the Napoleonic campaign.
They are marching on this city from
two directions Dvinsk, 125 miles to the
northwest, and Minsk, IA miles to the
southwest. From Vitebak, strategic
rail runs directly to Moscow, 2S7 miles
sOutheastward.
Meanwhile the advance on 650-mile

eNINE AND TROTZkY YIELD TO
HUN DEMANDS AND Ao-
JECTLY SURRENDER:
The BoIshevik Government Has An
nounced Its Readiness to Accept
Hun Proposals, Parleys to
Begin at Once.

London. 49, The Bolsheviki govern
ment, represented by Nikolai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky, has acceded to the
demands of Germany and announced
its readiness to accept the hard peace
terms which Germany has laid down.
Thus apparently without further
hesitation, the Russians are prepared,
in an effort to stop the inroads the
Germans now are making into their
country, to add to the enemy's already
vast holdings more of Russia's most
valuable western territory, extending
from the gulf of Finland southwark TO
the Black sea, and even to withdraw
her troops from Finland and give back
to the Turks what has been taken
from them in battles.
Surrender AFFECT.
The surrender seems abject. Russia
is Immediately to send u delegation to
Brest-Litovsk, there to discuss with
German representatives the final de-
tails of the peace and sign the com
pact.
At last accounts the German armies
in the east were giving no heed to
talk of peace, but, on the contrary,
were methodically pushing forward
their line over the more than 5OO-mile
front from the gulf of Finland region
to VOlhynia, and still nowhere meet
ing with any systematic attempts to
hinder their progress.
Numerous additional towns have
been captured and several thousand
more Russians made prisoners. In
addition, nearly 5000 German and Aus
trian prisoners Of war have been lib
Grated by the invaders.

the Accomplishments of binding snow

hurricane force.
1t is supposed that the captain mis-
Judged his position after driving the
ship through the night against the
storm and that wind and tides had set
him back more than he calculated, so
that when he swung to the westward,
thinking he had cleared Cape Race, he
was brought up hard on the rocks. His

The British captures in the past wear

tars and 2S14 machine guns.
This statement was made by James
Ian MACPHERSON, parliamentary under.
secretary for war, i'm introducing the
army estimates in the house of com.
mons.
British gun power had increased by
almost % per cent during the past
year. and the army was doing every.
thing possible to economic. with A
view to saving tonnage, he declared,
These economies would save two mil.
lions tonnage in the distant theatres
of the war this year.
Mr.. MACPHERSON said that the
strength of the German army was al.
ready far greater on the western front
than at any previous period. and al.
though the allies at present are supe.
riOr in men and guns. the balance
might soon be in favor of the enemy.
The allies must be prepared for de-
termined offensive at any early date,
but all measures to meet the situation
have been taken.
The strain on the British troops and
those of the allies, he added. might be
severe, but the successes of the Brit
ish and French armies in the past year
had inspired all ranks to the belief in
their ability to hold their own.
