Bolshevikism to create a chaotic condi-

Only a desire not to bring about a

Germany Involved in Maze Of Difficult
ties-Outbreak In Warsaw
< Austria Remains
Indifferent"

Amsterdam, Feb. 16.-German forces
are already being concentrated in
Ukraine to attack the Bolsheviki, ac-
cording to a Berlin dispatch to the
Tijd, and declarations looking to the
active prosecution of the war against
the Bolsheviki in North Russia also
will be made at Berlin next week
New York, Feb. 1G.-Germany has
suddenly found herself involved in
maze of difficulties on the Eatern
front and in danger of losing all the
large benefits she was calmly prepar-
ing to realize from her peace with
the Ukraine and the Bolshevik with
drawal OF Russia from the war.
Poland, that land which so fire.
quently in the course of history has
proved thorn in the side of military
conquerers, is threatening to consti-
tute herself the rock on which the
German hope of peace and gainful ex-
pansion in the East may be shattered.
Embfttered by the tearing off of
strip il their territory to be given
the Ukraine for breaking away from
the Bolsheviki and signing peace
with the Central powers, the Poles
are in what appears to be practically
a state of revolt.
Even the very weapon which Ger
many and Austria were at such pains
to forge in that hope of deriving mill
tary benefit-the Polish arny-bids
fair to be turned against them. Re
ports in the German newspapers
which express dismay and alarm over
the Polish situation, indicate that
the Polish legions, now an effective
military force, are on the side of the
prevalent Polish sentiment of bitter
ness against the imperial powers. The
situation has grown so serious that
the military are patrolling the streets
in Warsaw.
Austria-Hungary is particularly in
volved because of the leading part
which it was expected she would play
in the future government of Poland

thizing with them in Austria Hungary

The war news the past week have
been OF rather sad and discouraging
nature. Last Wednesday came the re-
port that the transport Tuscania of the
Cunard line carrying PIT American
soldiers had been torpetloed near the
Irish coast. Fortunately the ship was
conveyed and remained ahoat two hours
so that most Of them were saved. Re-
ports Of those lost vary all the way
from 1O1 to 3677, the correct number be-
ing perhaps about 200.
The second big war news was that the
Ukraine had sighed a peace treaty with
the Central powers and that the Boil
shevlki had quit the War and ordered
the demobilization of the soldiers.
This act Of Russia will no doubt have =
great bearing on the great war and
events from now on will move along

callv to final conclusion. Unless
peace should come suddenly in the pres
