TRIAL Is DELAYED
BY TECHNICALLY

Rufus H. Clendenin. former eoun-
ty detective, charged with bootleg
ging, will not stand trial at this
term of the United States district
court in Charleston. A mistake in
the Indictment returned against him
caused a postponement of the gov

Johnson Foster, of Fayette county,
2 Holy Roller minister, was senten-
ced to serve 60 days in the Kama
wha county jail and fined the costs
of trial by Judge Keller when he
pleaded guilty to having delivered
sermons which influenced six or
seven of his parishioners to refuse
to register for military service.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Feb.
2O.-The allies now are SUI
perior to the TeutOns on the
west front both in men and
guns.
The United Press was informed
of this officially today by allied
and American military sources.
Both agreed that the allies are
ready for any blow the Teuton
may intend.
And, significantly, the inform
ants declared that undoubtedly
the Teuton has "over-prepared,"

December, he has shunted fresh
men from the east front and weed

his waiting game, in the opinion
of military men.
II Is good strategy to wait as
long as waiting means that better
preparation can be obtained. But
in the case of the German, he ap-
parently reached his maximum OF
preparation some time ago and by
his waiting since then has given

Europe has suddenly become
filled with tense crises, that may
at any moment change the COM
plexion of the war, for all its pres
ent comparative passivity, and
bring about the final mastery.
The relations between Germany
and Austria are strained as they
have been at no other time since
the war began; the contending
forces along the west front are on
the tip of expectancy for their de-
livery of a giant blow; the allies
themselves are just passing thru
the final phase of a critical situa-
ton concerning the authority OF
the Versailles war council; Rus
STA is revolving an internal situa-
ton of growing chaos, that may
turn out to be the greatest crisis
of all.
At no previous period in
the war has there been so in
tense a feeling Of general sus-
pense as now exists.

lief had begun to circulate

Gill Beaten at Last
Especial to The Times.)

SEATTLE, Feb. 20.-The elm
ination Of Mayor Hiram c. Gill
from the city election here, con.
tinued to be the political wonder
of Seattle today.
Yesterdays primaries which
nominated two candidates for
mayor, left Gill a poor third. The
election will be held Tuesday,
March 8.
Ole Hanson, real estate man,
led the primaries with 23,14S
votes. James Il. Bradford was
second with 1,661. Gill received
5000 votes. Hanson and Brad
ford will be the candidates for
mayor. The balance OF the votes
cast were divided among four 9TH
er candidates.
Gill's elimination followed his
recent disbarment because of al
legged soliciting by the law firm of
which he is member, of legal
business from places Of shady re-
lpute.
Prior to that, Gill became in
volved in difficulties with Major
General H. A. Greene, command
ing officer of Camp Lewis. and as
a result, military ban was
placed on Seattle for several
weeks, forbidding soldiers to come
here until Seattle was made safe
for soldiers"

PETROGRAD, Feb. TO-
(Delayed) - Rehabilitation
OF the Russian army and =
fleet has been stopped, II
was announced at noon TO-
day.
The Russian troops have been
ordered to resist the German ad-
vance and to evacuate their po-
sitions only when necessary, de-
stroying property as they fall
back.
Preparations have been made
for a stubborn defense of Petro'
grad. The entire press urges the
government to fight.
The Tsarskoe Selo wireless sta
tion today picked up Prince Leo
pold's address, ordering the Ger
man advance against Russia, in
which he declared:
1--WE want no annexations or
contributions, but restoration of
order. Russia is the center OF an
archy. The contagion is spread
ing into Europe. Civilized Eu-
rope understands the Germans are
defending order in Europe"
A policy of frenzied, defensive
preparedness, of mobilization. has
suddenly supplanted Russia's
startling laying down of arms In
the midst of warfare.

the allies chance to reach the
pink of preparation.
Some high American army men
had begun to doubt that the Ger
mans really intended to make an
offensive on the west line. They
thought he either intended to wait
until he was pushed to 1t by home
developments or other events, or
to make a smash in Italy or the
Balkans under the cover Of the ad-
vertising Of west front drive.
Now, however, these men be-
lieve the drive is coming.
Asked why the allies had not
undertaken an offensive in view Of
the German delay, the experts
pointed out that the allied lines
are so disposed that they probably
can convert a German smash into
an allied victory.
American troops will take part
In any big push.

2O.-America, watch the
west front!
Civilization is on the
threshold of the most cOlOs-
sal battle of all time. The
German offensive is expected
momentarily.
With every gill of fighting
blood Germany has left; with
every belt and nut of its wal
machinery in hand; with every
ounce of strength of every kind
behind them, Hindenburg and
Ludendorff may hurl all into q
finish fight.
For Hohenzollernism, this may
be the critical hour.
The Germans will use tanks,
like the British, for the first
time. Some of these will be
equipped with mortars; others
with machine guns.
The enemy is counting largely
on gas. 1t is not likely its
bombardment will last long. Its
infantry will be driven forward
with unprecedented ferocity-
German fashion-after a few
hours of intense Smelling.
All pieces-from trench NOR
tars to 42-centimeter guns

The critical situation is Russia,
which is the most spectacular for
the moment, must be judged with
extreme caution.
The willingness" Of the bolshe-
Wiki to sign German peace and
the announced intention of Lenine
and Trotsky to reply" to the
German demands, are coupled with
definite statements from the
United Press correspondent in
Petrograd that rehabilitation OF
the army and navy had been stop
ped and that orders have been CIV
en- to resist the German advance.
Hindenburg can put no trust in
the permanency of any peace sign
ed at Petrograd, while the war
continues in the west.
The era of crises now rife thru
out Europe will be particularly IL
able to explosive tendencies In
Russia until the war ends on all
fronts.

they have information that as

along the front.
The Germans probably will
play their trench mortars on the

use their heavy guns on battery

A heavy percentage Of gas

High explosives will be used

Then, in endless waves,
the Germans will be driven

Like sharpers doping the
