The operations in which our troops
have so, far, been engaged were of a

German Raid of January 80. -.
On January 80 the Germans at.
tempted a strongly pushed raid
against our line for purposes Of iden.
tiffcation. Under cover of a heavy
mist the enemy was able to beach our
advanced positions. "a short brush en-:
sued and the raiders were compelled
to withdraw in haste, after inflictiny
slight casualties.

Another Important Event
Another event of Importance took
place in France The inter-allied SUI

attended by General Bliss, chief Of
staff Of the army, and General Per

France, Great Britain and Italy. Com

During the past seven iay period
the world has been i!oodel with the
news of q very serious internal unrest
in Germany Widespread strikes
among munition workers are reported
Teutonic Unrest
While dissatisfaction no doubt is
rife in Germany and strikes of increas-
ing seriousness have occurred, we must
not allow any reported disturbance
within the German empire to affect
the effectiveness or speed of our own
preparations.
During the week hostile coacertra-
tions in the west continued. In GER
tain quarters the report; spread by
the enemy, that he holds preponder.
ant numerical superiority in the west
have gained some credence. While pos

enemy has removed troops from the
eastern theatre and is stripping other

AMERICANS IN FINLAND
Fear Danger From Presence of tn
Red Guards

Red Guards
Stockholm, Feb. 5.-The American
consul at Helsingfors, Nr. Haynes, re-
plying to a message from Ira Nelson
Morris, the American minister here,
reports that the fifteen American resi-.
dents of the city are well. He ap.
Drehends no violence against them,
but says they naturally are uneasy in
view of the l0oting and murders which
are being carried out by the Red
Guard. Mr. Morris is endeavoring to
get money and provisions to Consul
Haynes, but this may prove to be i'm.
possible.
Five Finlanders, who escaped from
Abo to Sweden, declare that the ma
jority of the workingmen in southern
Finland have no sympathy with the
Reds. who have been able to terror
ize the law abiding populace only be-
cause the people were unarmed.
The Red Guards are being paid with
the proceeds of the bank looting and
enforced contributions from the bour-
Geoise. A courier to Torneo reports
that Reds have been defeated at Ter
volo and left behind eleven dead and
seven wounded. They carried away
many wounded. There were no casu-
allies among the White guard.
In an action a few miles north Of
Helsingfors the White guards are re-
norted to have been defeated owing to
the fact that the Reds and the Rus
slams were better armed.
Assassinations continue at Helsing-
fors. The latest victim was a young
@urgeon who was taken from q Red
Cross hospital and shot.

PLEA FOR "FooLLEss" DAY
Movement to Abolish Stupid April First
Jokes Surely Would Meet With
General Approval.

In connection with the movement for
'1ess" days it is up to some patriot
who has the highest interest Of the
nation at heart to launch campaign
for a foolless first of April.
Individuals, like automobiles, are not
foolproof, and Mr.. Absent Minded, who
from time immemorial has been a
much-fooled man on the fatal day,
would. rise up and call. congress bless
ed, instead Of calling the members
thereof names, as he now does, if that
body would busy itself with legislation
abolishing the April-fool jokes that
wreck tempers, ruin dispositions and
work havoc generally.
On the other hand, Mrs. Absent
Minded would probably fight to the last
ditch against any curtailment Of the
privileges of jeering derisively at her
husband when he puts salt in his COT
fee, cracks an egg which proves to be
only a shell, finds the lining Of his
.overcoat sewed up, picks up some stage
money on the doorstep and starts to
work with box Of soap camoufiaged
as candy in his pocket to MUNICH after
lunch.
" AS result the sons Of dignity will
probably have to endure the annual
disturbance of their mental equilibrium
in order to keep peace in the family.
