Baltimore speech delivered last April.
Force. force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit; the righteous

cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust"
That was the Presidents answer
then. and, 1t was reiterated. is his
answer now.
No one doubts that II is the answer
Of all the allies. While Austria's pro-
posal. reported from Amsterdam. had
not reached Washington in official

Sweden-and in 1t is recognized the
long-heralded peace offensive upon
which Germany is counting to arouse
enough sentiment for peace among the
people of the allied countries to COM
pei an end OF the war on terms which
substantially would preserve the Prus-
sian conquest.
The allied leaders recognize It as an
effort by Germany to obtain the best
terms possible.

AMERICANS HOLD
EIGHT LONG. MILES
Guarding the Trenches
at the Battle Front in
France.
NOT IN AIR LINE
Frontage May Be Extended at Any
Time to Regular Allotment
For Corps.
NOT IN AIR LINE.

Washington, March 6.-American
troops are now holding something
over eight miles of trenches on the
battle front in France, it was learn
ed today, although in an air line
their frontage is only about four
and half miles. This frontage is
liable to extend at any time to- the
regular trench allotment for an
army corps.
Irregularity Of the trench lines is
responsible for their eight miles of
length. They are laid out so that
flanking fire may be obtained along
every part of the front. Strong
points containing machine guns jut
out for this purpose. The trenches
also follow closely any protective
slope of the country and wander up
and down hill.
The American sector is under
stood to he a divisional frontage,
which means that at least three div
isions of American troops are there
to give the necessary support in the
depth for the front lines. This fact
has aroused speculation here as to
who will be selected by General
Pershing to command the first corps
of his army. Maj. Gen. Hunter Lig-
gett is known to have acted in that
capacity, but as yet the expedition
ary commander has not made any
recommendation.

Petrograd, March 6.-The Boil

draw even as far as to the Ural

Trotsky, Bolsheviki foreign minis
ter, in an interview today with The

Trotzky said that if the Bolshevi-
XII could go back to the state of af-
fairs which existed last October just
before they threw the Kerensky gov
ernment they would repeat the
whole program which has been put
through since that time.

THE HERO IN ABBEVILLE.

The news dispatches of Tuesday
and Wednesday gave interesting ac-
counts of the decorations of Ameri-
can boys with the Cross of Honor
by the President of France. The
name of Lieut.. William Coleman,
given as from Charleston, is now
supposed to be Lieut.. Oscar Coleman
from Greenwood. If this is the
case, then Abbeville has had the
pleasure of seeing the hero under
anything but warlike conditions,
for he is the young man who play
ed so admirable a part in the home
talent play "Mr. Bob", which was
given for the benefit of the Service
League.
The whole state feels proud of
the young man.

Evacuation of Petro-

and Populace Begun
TO SAVE THE REVOLUIlON'
Germans Are Still Reinforcing
Their Lines in the West Pre-
pairing For Drive.

Late reports from Russia indicate
that the Bolsheviki government prob
ably will not keep its engagement
with the Germans to ratify next
Tuesday the peace compact agreed
upon at Brest-Litovsk. The evacua-
ton of Petrograd by the Bolshevlkl
government and the populace al
ready has been begun and Trotzky
the foreign minister, has announced
that the leaders of the revolution are
preparing to fall back even to the
Ural mountains, which separate
Great Russia from Siberia, and pro-
claim a holy war in order to circum-
vent the plans of the Germans to
make the revolution unsuccessful.
1t seems evident that the Germans
have not yet ceased their operations.
against the Russians, for Kreylenko,
the, Bolsheviki commander in chief
has sent a protest to the German
commander asking whether all steps
had been taken by him for cessa-
tion of hostilities. A like message
was despatched to the Austro-Hun-
garian commander. The reason for
the latter communication, however,
is not apparent, for the forces of the
dual monarchy are known to be bent
on clearing Little Russia of Bolshe-
Wiki in order to carry, out the COM
pact to aid the Ukrainians in estab-
fishing and administering their
newly formed republic.
Whether japanese troops are to
invade Siberia and put down the dis
order there and also make secure
the great stores of all kinds that are
in the harbor of Vladivostok ap-
parently has not yet been determin-
ed.

date Tonsorial Parlor and by his
satisfactory work and pleasing man.
ners, built up a large trade beside

wife, one sister, Mrs. J. F. Hamilton,
