Down at Hopmere one day last week
a man named Martin, supposed in
some way to be connected with the

used. Martin was distributing htho-

Mr.. Harris replied that he did not
care to post a picture of WithyeOmbe

Iflared up and blurted out as he hur

London, Feb. 21.-Disorganiza-
ton in the Russian navy has reach
ed an extreme point, and there is
no likelihood of any order being
obeyed, according to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Petrograd.
The naval authorities at Reval re-
port that in order to save the Rus
sian navy from the hands Of the
Germans it will be necessary to re-
move the ships at Reval and Hell
singfors to Kronstadt
This, however, is believed to be
impossible owing to their disuse.
Up to this time, only submarines
have been removed from the sea-
ports.
The question has arisen whether
to destroy the naval vessels in Hell
singfors. 1t is also suggested to
intern them in Finland as free and
neutral state, acknowledgment Of
Finnish neutrality having been made
by the bolsheviki.
The bolsheviki are willing to with
draw the Russian Red Guards from
Finland and to stop the supply of
munitions to the revolutionists.
The submarine detachments at
Abo, Finland, and at the Aland
islands demand their immediate dis
charge, the dispatch adds, and the
majority of the crews at Helsingfors
oppose any active defense.

lean general staff is watching the
new German sweep into Russia with
little more than academic interest,
quite convinced that Russia is no
longer military factor to be CON
Sidered and that the situation has
little bearing, for the present at
least, upon other battle fronts
Large captures of military stores
bear little relation to equipment Of
troops on the Italian or western
fronts, officers here say, as the guns
and rifles captured will be of use
only as long as the ammunition sup
ply captured with them holds out.
Observers here and in Russia, it
is understood, are satisfied that as
the German drive continues, it will
meet with more resistance. The
greater the distance of the German
advance the more effective will be
that resistance, the military ex-
perts say, since it would require
greater numbers of troops to main
tain the German transportation
lines and give the best opportunity
for guerilla warfare. Eventually
they think the vast extent of Rus
sian territory and the great popula-
ton will form more definite move
ment of resistance.
The government will receive a
detailed report from Brigadier Gen
eral Judson, who has just returned
from duty at the American embassy
in Petrograd.
The turn of events in Russia. in
the view here, swings upon the OBJ
jcct of the German high command
in renewing operations. The cap
ture of war material from an unre-
siSting foe is considered of no great
Importance. and capture of thou
sands Of prisoners is regarded as
an added embarrassment in many
ways.

APPEAL FOR REVIVED ARMY
Bolsheviki Believes German Work
ing Class Will Aid Them.

Petrograd, Thursday, Feb. 2l.-In
a proclamation announcing that
they had agreed to sign German
peace terms, the peoples commits
saries declare they are firmly COR
yinced that the German working
classes will not permit the Russian
revolution to be crushed by the
militarists. Appeal is made to local
councils to increase efforts to re-
organize the Russian army. The
proclamation, which is addressed to
Russian workmen and peasants,
says:
we agreed to sign peace terms
at the cost of enormous concessions
in order to save the country from
final exhaustion and ruin of the
revolution. Once more, the Ger
man working class in this threaten
ing hour has shown itself insult
hciently determined to stay the
strong criminal hand Of it's own
militarism. We had no other choice
but accept the conditions of Ger
man militarism until a revolution
changes or cancels them.

Hopes for German Sympathy.
We even now are convinced
firmly that the German working
classes will rise against the attempts
OF the ruling classes to stifie the
revolution, but we cannot predict
with certainty when this will occur
The German imperialists may

of destroying the authority OF the
councils and taking the land from
the peasants.

CASE To TRIAL

Doc Crincr, charged with murder
of Bert Joiner, was placed on trial
in the district court this forenoon.
Attorneys for the defense pleaded
lack Of opportunity to confer with
witnesses and Judge Freeman or
dcrcd a recess for the purpose of
allowing the attorneys for the de
fcnsc to confer with their witnesses,
but the defense waived the recess.
.Hhc first witness called was Nell

occurred. Her testimony was to
the effect that she heard one shot
fired and saw Bert Joiner lying on
his back and the defendant kicking
him in the face and head. On cross
examination witness admitted she
had seen Joiner exhibit pistol
which he was carrying in his right
hand ovcrcoat pocket,
Budd Ferguson was the next wit
ness called and testified that he had
seen Criner approach Joiner in an
apparently friendly manner and
stated that Crincr was rcpulscd by
Joiner with a threat to shoot him
(Crincr) between the eyes, at the
same time drawing his pistol and
raising his arm with the pistol in
his hand above his shoulder, Wit
