SIX OFFICERS
and PRIVATES
TAKE ODESSA
Germans Drive Into City
In Automobiles, and
Are Granted Farley

Vologda, Russia, July .13.-(Cor-
.respondence of the Associated Pressl
How comedy has been interviewer
with tragedy in the story of the
German sweep over Southern Rus
STA since the signing Of the peace
treaty at Brest-Litovsk has been told
in reports of the capture" of Odes-
sa which have been brought to the
American embassy here.
A French officer. who flew by
airplane from Jassy, Rumania, to
Odessa, arriving there on the day
the Germans entered and who es-
capped by boat. told the story to an
American official who had left Odes-
sa two days before. and. who since
after journey full Of perils and
difficulties, has just reached Volog-
da.
Although there was Russian fleet
in the harbor, with big guns enough
to wreck the city. and the Russian
garrison was strong, the capture"
OF Odessa was made by a mere
handful Of Germans.
On the morning Of March IL, when
the city was in fear and trembling,
not SO much at the approach of the
Germans as at the fear that the
revolutionary sailors would wreck
the town, big touring car, painted
war grey, and accompanied by a
few motorcycles. came whizzing into
Odessa. This was the German inva-
sion--six officers and about as many
privates.
They drove to the soviet headquar-
tiers. and demanded parley. The So
Wet authorities debated for a few
moments and then decided to arrest
their invaders. They did, but the
popuIace. fearing the sailors would
wreck the town, clamored outside
the building and finally the occupy
ing force" was released. When sail
ors from the fleet came to parley
with the Germans. the crowd mob
bed the sailors and the Germans res
cued the sailors from .lynching.
Then a. 24-hour truce was arrang-
ed. at the expiration of which a few
companies of German soldiers came

London, June 80. - Especially
Prominent Amedican Socialists who
disagree with the present leaders of
the party in America in their desire
to see the allies win the war re-
cisiveIy have reached London to at
attend the British Labor conference.
The delegation is headed by John
Spargo. Other members are Charles
Edward Russell, a member of the
American commission to Russia last
year; A. NJ. Simmons. Socialist writer
Of Milwaukee; Louis Kopelin, editor
of THE New Appeal" successor to
"The Appeal to Reason, Alexander
Howat, Socialist member of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
George D. Heron and Frank Bohm.
These American delegates are
pledged to oppose any attempt that
may be made at the conference to
include German or Austria dele
gates in a later conference, which it
is proposed to hold in Switzerland in
August. They have taken this stand
on the ground that German and
Austrian majority Socialists have
identified themselves with the
crimes of their government" and
used their position to serve military
absolutism and betray their COM
rades in other lands"
The position Of the American is
commeded by N. Albert 'Thoma2,
leader of the loyal wing of the
French Socialist party, who in a re-
cent interview declared:
GAS long as German Socialists do
not reply to the memorandum of
London, which sets. forth the OBJ
jects Of the war advocated by Wilson
and Lloyd George, no conference
with them can be possible: Amer
lean Socialists, in agreement with
the Federation of Labor, have
agreed to support this memorandum.
The United Allied Workers have
such power that the United Germans
must give way.

work was organized and April 25,
1918. 5.307 vessels were repaired and
restored, representing an aggregate

This gives a weekly average of
414.105 tons but for some weeks past
the average has risen to over 100000
and lis steadily increasing. As much
as 2,120,301 gross tons have been M
hand during one week. Five ships,
each over 10000 tons have left the
yards ready for service in a single

Russians Face
ActMaI Famine

Vologda, April 25-CCorrespondence
Of the Associated Press -Informa-
ton has reached the American en-
bassy here that the peasants in the
Ukraine district, whence Germany
expected to obtain the largest part Of
her new grain supply, are sowing only
enough grain for their own needs.
Fearing that their land will be con-
dscated or divided or their grain TAX
en- away from them, they are putting
in very little seed. In fact, in many
cases the seed itself has been confis-
Gated, either by Germans, various
factionary armies or rowing bands of
IN some or the villages which the
Germans occupied, they seized all
grain excepting four pools (I44
pounds) per inhabitant, which must
last the people until the late fall
harvest.
Conditions throughout the Russian
wheat fields, according to reports to
the embassy are similar to those of
the Ukraine. Land troubles, wherein
village fights village for the land, and
absence of workers from the. fields,
have contributed, as well as fear of
seizures to the failure to sow more
than 80 or 40 per cent Of the fields.
AS conditions of actual starvation
have prevailed in many Russian com
munities for several months actual
famine is facing millions of Russians
next winter.

Rome.-Capt. Fiorello H. La Guar
dia, an American Of italian descent
and member of congress from a New
York city district, is IN charge of one
of the American aviation camps on
the Italian front.
La Guardia recently went to the
north of Italy to get machines for the
American training school, and, be
cause it would take too long to ship
them by train, the captain decided to
bring them by air. He was assisted
by Lieuts. Spencer Kerr of Baltimore,
Mowatt Mitchell and Wendell Hauch
of California. and Harris and Agar.
The exact route taken by the Amer
lean aviators cannot be mentioned,
but it can be said it was longer than
from Rome to Milan. The Americans
made the flight in four hours.

England Grozess
More Potatoes

London, July 13.-To relieve the
food shortage England is growing
more potatoes this year, than ever in
it's history.
Announcement was made recently
by the ministry of food that approxi-
mately 100000 acres of potatoes had
year. The returns, upon which these
figures were based came from persons
farming one acre or more and showed
an increase of 25 per cent in the 1918
planting as compared with that of
1917 .
Allotments and cottage gardens
were not included in the. census Of the
food officials. The proportion of land
this year planted in potatoes by AL
lotment holders, is also far greater
than in any other year.

0AS AAAAhs
The scope Of the English wom-
ems part in war work apparently
has no end. The mothers, wives and
sweethearts Of EngIand's fighting
forces have entered practically every
field known to labor to do their part
in the war for democracy. English
leaders who at first decried the en-
trance of women into farm, factory
and office work now unanimously
credit the women for a wonderful
part in Great Britain's success in
carrying on her end of the war to
date.
Women have, taken mems places in
factories. They charge gas retorts
in the big South London gas works.
They run intricate machines turning
out shells and gun parts. They

On the farms the women are do

Women gather the vegetables and

The milk women, dressed in smock

The woman's army auxiliary corps
organized to provide women for war
duty away from home-behind the
actual battle lines, sends a steady
stream of perfectly trained women
to the front for every form Of work
from stenography to dishwashing.
British officials figure that every
four women who join the corps auto
matically release three men for work
