The story of this captain s death was

are from Green Bay, Wis, Minot, S. D.,
and two from Chicago.
The captain left his dugout when
the Germans started their raid on the
American trenches early Friday morn

until he got in the midst of his men
on a strong point. As he spoke his last
words, he levelled his revolver at the

by. He fell dead without a sound.

Many Of its men bear familiar Irish

Petrograd, March 3.-(Noon) )-Petro-
grad is dazed today, following the ac-
tion of the Russian peace delegation at
Brest-Litovsk in signing the German
dictated peace.
The city is like a man with arms
raised TO strike suspended in mid d-air--
still angry, but uncertain.
The Russian delegation wired
"The Russian delegation declared
its refusal Saturday to discuss the pro-
posed peace terms, in view of contin-
nation of the war despite renewal of
the peace conference.
"The demand to cease the German
offensive has been denied.
Under the circumstances the treaty
was simply an ultimatum supported by
armed outrage.
FThe Russian delegation, while sign
ing the treaty without discussion, CON
sidered its duty openly to tell the truth
to the wcrkmen and peasants of Russia
and bringing before their Judgment all
that actually occurred at the signing of
peace Sunday"
Remarkable rumors regarding the de-
tails of the treaty fill the city. One
declares it provides for German occu-
patton of Petrograd, pending establish
ment of government to its own lik-
ing-at least government able to
adjust the treaty's working out. M.
Kirvoshein, Kerensky's secretary of
agriculture, is mentioned in this CON
nection.
The trcPty's reported provision for
surrender of the Caucasus district to
Turkey, contrary to the treaty of Ber-
lin, cannot be made permanent until
ratified by an international congress.

PREPARING FOR TITANIC
STRUGGLE ON WEST FRONT
SAYS SECRETARY BAKER

American aviators aided the success
full French raid against German out
posts in the region of Chemis Des
Danes.
That the Germans may be intending
to concentrate his effort in the Verdun
salient and upper Alsaee is the conclu-
sion drawn from the statement that
'artillery duels were insistent along the
entire front, flaring up with peculiar
intensity" in these regions.
The report deduced that Moscow APP
peared to be the objective Of the Ger
man drive in Russia and held that the
trend Of events "has no doubt modi-
fled German plans to certain degree
as regards the western 'front.'
Turkish troops now hold the region

GERNANY'S HOLD BY
FORCE OF ARMS WILL
ROUSE UP RUSSIANS
RevOluiOnists Who Over
threw Gar viii Now Turn
On Kaiser
By j. w. T. Mason

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Mar. 4.-Acceptance by
the new Russian delegates at Brest,Li-
tovsk of Germany s imperialistic peace
terms means that the former war of
the Russian revolutionists against the
Romanoffs is now concentrated against
the Hohenzollerns.
1t is impossible for the signatures to
the peace document to be accepted as
having any permanent value. The only
way the Germans can hold the terms
to be operative is by maintaining a
large army of occupation along the
Russian front. And, despite this army,
German control of west Russia hence
forth will be subjected to the same
kind of destructive influences that
overthrew ex-Czar Nicholas.
The Russians are the most astute
and experienced revolutionists in the
world. Their long years of constant con-
flict with czarism taught them how best
to attack an autocracy which through
military strength is able, for the time
being, to exert ruthless power The
signing of the Brest -Litovsk treaty is
the work of the most extreme class of
Russian revolutionists This is the most
significant fact about it. The treaty
Of peace is unquestionably no more
than a subtle move in the revolution
lists game The men who overthrow the
car had to engage in many such sub
tiles before they finally succeeded.
Blindness to the fact by conservative
diplomats and a refusal of the allies
ITO recognize that the Russian reyolu-
tionists are struggling as best they can
for democracy would result in the most
serious diplomatic blunder of the war.
Russia needs sympathy and moral
support now. If the western democra-
cies adopt a sullen mood and fail to do
all they can to help the Slavs, the flut.
tering flame Of democracy in the east
might even go out.

Allied War Council In Daily
Session, Assuring Complete
Unity Of Action

Washington, Mar. 4.-Vast prepara-
tions, both by the allies and Germans,
are going forward rapidly on the west
front for the great struggle.
"The momentum Of the battle is in
ereasing," said the war departments 8

"The enemy continues to bring up
fresh troops. The allied war council
is now in continuous session, assuring
complete unity and flexibility of con-
troll"
The third month of "relative quies-
enee" on the western front has now
come to a close, the statement warns.
"Duriug this time both belligerent
groups have been massing their forces.
"The British have extended their
front. Our own forces have taken over
a sector northwest of Toul. In addition,
a number of our detached units are in
action in Champagne"
"And the fighting which has been
going on between the Americans and
the Germans during the last week may
give an idea, - the statement added, ." Of
what is taking place on an even larger
scale along the entire western 'front.'
The Germans are experiencing some
trouble in moving their troops, as the
transportation system is not in best
condition and the movements are slow
and laborious, says the statement. Some
added forces have been brought up op-
posite the American line.
Referring to the use of gas against
these Americans, the statement added:

Washington, Mar. With the Ger
man Russian peace pact signed, it was
expected here today that the question
of Japanese Intervention in Siberia
would be quickly settled.
Japan believes that the peace treaty
means she must act at once. With
such spirit, it is quite conceivable,
authorities say, that she would act
alone soon if allied American approv-
al were withheld.
Indications today were that Japan
will be permitted to play lone hand
in protecting her interests in Siberigy
but that a statement of allied purpos-
es and limitations on the expeditio1
win be made.
Officials here are in a quandary aH
to what Germany will do in Russia
That she would plow on into Russia
is considered probable, provided it
suited her military leaders to do So
On the other hand, her plans for mill
itary action may be such that she
would be inclined to stop her advance
and pay more attention to the italian
or western fronts.

among the soldiers and the refugees.
The first group depicts the work Of
the association a the environments of
the National Army, the second the
work among the refugees Of the dew
astated countries Of Europe, and the
work among the aged women of those
countries and the children who have
been made orphans through the war,
The third group is the one which will
probably be of most interest at this
time coming right before the cam
paign for funds for the Red Cross.
This group shows the work of the
asso citation at the battle front. All
of these pictures are from actual
photographs taken at the front and
are both interesting and instructive.
These pictures have been shown in
other cities and towns Of the state,
and in all places where shown, the
halls have been taxed to capacity,
and 1t Is expected that Berlin will be
no exception to this rule.
The big feature of the evening will
be the speakers secured by the COM
mittee. The principal speaker is one
who cannot fail to interest all who
attend. He Is Sergeant Major Alec
McWhtnney. Mr. McWhinney has
seen active service at the front as a
member of a Scottish Highlanders'
regiment, and appears in the uniform
in which he fought. He has perhaps
seen more active service than the
greater mum Der of war lecturers now
touring the country, and returned
only after he had been wounded too
severely for further service at Viny
Ridge. He was sent recently to this
country by the English government
where he has been speaking for a few
months. He was sent to solicit funds
for the Red Cross, and to tell Of the
work of that organization in France.
Another speaker will be sent by the
Council of Defense, but as yet his
name has not been announced. Dur
ing the evening, the Berlin Liberty
Chorus will sing. Every one in the
town Is asked to attend and take part
in the grand opening of the Red
