 NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-George CreeI. chairman of the committee on public information, speaking at d luncheon given by the Lawyers club here today, discussed the work of the committee and it's efforts to combat German propaganda throughout the world. The committees campaign of infOr- nation he said had been extended even over the German fighting line and among the huge German prison camps in Russia and in entente allied coun- tries.
 Tt is q slow process" Mr. Creels said, but its unconscious cerebration Is slowly taking place. The German troops on the eastern front, as a re- suit of this campaign, cannot be brought 10 the western front, without serious injury to their morale"
 One of the most important functions of the committee. he continued was to run down the trickeries of German propaganda in the United States.
 You are not being lied to-" he de- clared, nothing is being held from you: and when you hear those pecu- Iiarly German lies that sweep through your community; every time you lend yourself 10 this campaign of stupid and malignant gossip, you are aiding the kaiser"

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 16.- German forces are already being concentrated in the Ukraine to attack the Bolsheviki, according 10 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.
 The German authorities are anxious regarding the fate of German prisoners in North Russia, whom the Bolsheviki are holding as hostages and who, Der lin dispatches say. may be killed if the Bolsheviki are driven to desperation. Germany nas already served notice on the Bolsheviki authorities that she will enforce reprisals if the German pris- oners are harmed
 Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungar- ian foreign minister, has notified Ber- lin that Austrian troops must not be used against Russia to support any policy which Austria has not approved, but only for purposes of self defense against marauding bands.
 The Bolsheviki are making wholesale arrests of Germans in Russia and hold ing them as hostages, according to a Riga dispatch received by way of Ber- lin. Three hundred Germans and many pro- German esthonianS at Dorpat have been arrested and transferred to Kron- stadt All the food in the Dorpat dis trict has been confiscated. and it is all most impossible to feed the German women and children.
 The lives of those arrested as well as Germans and German supporters who have not yet been arrested are hourly in great danger, adds the dis patch, as the Bolsheviki threaten wholesale bUtchery. The Bolsheviki

 Want Government Control
 Government operations of all ship yards engaged on government work, the forbidding of strikes and limited conscription of labor were suggestions advanced today by members Of the senate ship Investigating commission as a means of speeding up shipbuilding.
 Senator Fletcher, chairman of the committee, advocated taking over of the yards by the government, the fixing of a general wage scale and the dealing of skilled men drafted into the army to work in the yards. Senator Caulder of New York, an- other committee member, announced that he would like to see the presi- dent issue proclamation forbid ding the men to strike, and said those failing to obey should be de- nied the privilege of returning to work in the yards.
 If the United States were operat- ing the shipyards," Senator Fletcher said, fit could appeal to the patriot ism of the men, but where the cor porations are piling up profits for themselves, and the men, who are do- | ing the work, are not receiving so much for their labor, it is natural that they would feel that they are entitled 1 to some of the profits

 The order of Judge Stanford of the superior court of this county denying a writ of habeas corpus to Ethel Butts was affirmel. The appellant had been charged with murder. It was not un- til after thirty-one days after commit ment that information against her was field and upon her motion the court dismissed the prosecution. She was immediately arrested and charged with the same offense. Application was then made for another writ on the ground that the order dismissing the case in the first instance was a bar to fur ther prosecution. That ground was not sustained for the reason that the stat utes provide that while a dismissal is a bar to any other prosecution for the same offense in the case of a mis- demeanor it is not a bar if the offense is Q felony.
 Other matters disposed of by the su- preme court were the following: J. D.

Italian official communication which

The victory Of the Italians at this
particular point is Of considerable
significance because of the fact that
lately, since the enemy's strong at
tempts to break through from the bill
region to the Venetian plain failed
around Monte-Tomba and sectors west
the Huns have been bringing up re-
Inducements in the Asiago district
preparatory to a further series of at

Bassano and Vicenza.
Aside from this battle no important
infantry operations have been re-
corded, although the Germans have
been operating with their artillery on
a somewhat extensive scale on the
Arras front and have carried out raid
ing operations on several other sectors
of Field-Marshal Haig's line.
