WAR REVIEW.
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

The German invasion of Russia continues unimpeded.
 Apparently there is to be no cessa- tion in the eastward march of the enemy until the Russian Bolshevill government entirely stakes the thirst of the Teutons for a peace which corresponds with our interests" as eX- pressed by the German foreign min ister
 Southern Esthonia has been entered by troops from German warships in the Gulf of Riga or from Moon or Oesel islands lying off the shore and a base established from which opera tions may be carried on against Reval, an important port on the Gulf of Finland; northeast and east of Dvinsk the penetration along the rail- road lines leading to Petrograd, and Smolensk, at last accounts, had reached more than F miles, and thence southward to southern Vol hynia, the invasion was in progress over wide asreas, with the Germans taking prisoners and guns, rolling stock and other booty in large quan titles. The line over which the Ger mans are operating, from southern Esthonia to Lutsk, is more than five hundred miles in length.
 Ignore BoIsheviki Cries
 Scant heed has been taken by the military autohorities of Germany or the frantic announcement of a desire on the part of the Bolshevik govern ment for a peace on Germany's terms. Except for a demand by the German commander at Brest-Litovsk that an authentic copy of the Bolshevik docu- ment of equalization signed by Lenine and Trotzhy be sent him, no atten- tion has been paid to the expressed desire for a cessation of histilities.
 In the reichstag the German for eign minister has volubly announced his distrust in Russia's pacific in tentions and declared that Germany herself must see to it that peace and order prevails in the occupied regions off her eastern frontier. As a sop to those of the populace of Germany who are opposed to Germany making further war against Russia, however, the foreign minister said Germany still was ready for a peace in the east which would protect Germn in- terests.
 Masses Condemn Move Not alone in Germany but also in Austria Hungary the commence ment of hostilities is unpopular with the masses, who tired of the war, had hoped that with the debacle in Russia a general peace was nearer. Promi- nent newspapers in both Germany and in Austria Hungary evince dis appointment over the new phase in the situation and several of the most l influential journals desire to know who was responsible for it. The news papers in the dual monarchy are unanimous against their country making further war against Russia. ! Nevertheless, for the present al least all seems dark so far as Russia being able to loose herself from the grip of the invader is concerned Meantime she is still in the throes oi civil war, and, added to that, has an other widespread anti-semitic move ment to contend with. Swedish ad- vices are to the effect that there has been a return of the old time practice of carrying out massacres against ths Jews. Bloody pogroms are declared to have been committed in Lublin Rashhoff, Tiraspol and other towns.

 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 20-(By the Associated Press)-Control of the air in the Amer ican sector belongs to the enemy. Any officer at the front will make this dec laration-all have made it. The con- trol is obvious. German airplanes come and go over the American lines almost at will.
 Battle Planes on Way
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The first American built battle planes are en- route to France, nearly five months ahead of the original schedule.
 In making this announcement tonight Secretary Baker said the first ship ment although in itself not large. marks the final overcoming of macy difficulties met in building up this new and intricate industry"
 These planes" Mir. Baker said, "are equipped with the first Liberty motors rom machine production. One of them in recent test surpassed all records for speed and climbing for planes of mat type. Engine production, which began @ month ago, is now on a quan- tity basis and the peak of production will be reached in a few weeks. Only the F cylinder type is being made, as
 
 te concentrate on the high powered en- gine instead of the eight cylinder"
 Optimistic as these statements ap- pear the secretary said they should not be exaggerated and should be con- sldered in the fight of these facts:
 That after three years of warfare the total number of planes able to take the air at any one time on either side of the western front has not been more than 2500:
 Men Needed by Thousand
 That 46 men are required on the ground Tor every plane in the air, mak- ing total of 115000 men needed for the present maximum of 250O planes:
 Ihat Tor every plane in the air tnere must be two replacement planes on the ground and one training plane TOT every pilot who eventually reaches the front, with spare engine for eact plane. After reviewing the many obstacle, that had to be overcome in getting thf aircratt production program under way NIT. Baker said the great problem now remaining is to secure the thous- ands of skilled mechanics needed te keep the planes in perfect condition and without which the machines turnef out soon would be useless and the fIv. CTS helpless.
 At best" said the secretary, "the .he or plane is but two months and the enSine must be overhauled after E hours while a pilot on plane allowed io leave the hangars in imperfect con. dltion is as helpless as @ bird with z broken wing.
 Now that American battle plane, are going overseas, great increase ir the volunteering of skilled mechanic: Is both essential and expected"

WILSON WILL FIGHT HIGHER PRICE WHEAT
Administration Belives that Agitation for Higher Price on Wheat Is Hindrance to Flow of Necessary Grain
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-The full influence of the administration will be used if necessary to prevent enactment of bills pending in congress to increase the price Of wheat.
 This became known tonight from an authoritative source. Opposition to the measures another of which was in- troduced today by Representative Hell yering of Kansas, is based on the ground that their passage would upset the entire wheat and bread program of the food administration. worked out in great detail and that President Wilson already has full authority to readjust the price il it is found advisable
 Wheat is selling now on basis of s2.20 a bushel and the price is main tained by heavy government purchases for the army and navy and for the allies.
 The food administration has worked out scale of profits for millers and distributors of flour on this basis and bread is selling at a fixed price.
 In enacting the food control law, con- gress placed an arbitrary minimum price of $2 2. bushel on next seasons crop. This is the price that the bills | offered seek to increase. The twenty cent difference between the price of last years yield and this years crop was fixed in large measure to draw wheat from the farms before the new crop is marketed
 Checking Flow of Wheat
 Already the agitation for a higher price for next seasons crop food ad- ministration officials say, is checking the flow of wheat to terminals and mills and threatens to stop it entirely. There is no power under the food act to force farmers to release their grain and although the bills in congress pro- vide that the price shall apply only to the new crop, there is no way, officials l say, to prevent the seller from mixing | in old wheat with the new.
 Heretofore the food administration has depended solely on the higher price for the last crop to force wheat on the market. If legislation providing higher prices for tle- new crop Is enacted the food administration, it is declared, Will be forced to raise the price on present holdings and in turn will have to raise the price of flour, which would mean immediate increase in bread prices. Enormous profits, according to officials, would go to distributors, who now hold about ninety million bushels of wheat and some twenty million barrels of flour There prob ably are on the farms about 125. 600 COG bushels of wheat left over from the old crop, much Of which will have to be held for seeding.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 20.-Dr. Rich ard von kuehlmann, the German for eign secretary, at the opening ses- sion of the German reichstag today delivered an address to the members in which he dealt at length with the peace treaty signed by the central powers with the Ukraine and the col lapse of the peace negotiations with Russia. Count von Hertling, the inn perial German chancellor, and Fried rich von Payer, vice chancellor, were attentive listeners to the address.
 Dr. von Kuehlmann asserted that the pacific intentions of Russia could no longer be credited, but he said that even today Germany was pre- pared to conclude a peace which corresponds with our interests" He instanced the peace agreement with the Ukraine as an indication of the readiness of the central powers for peace. He referred especially to the advantages which the Teutonic allies would derive during the present year from the economic treaty with the Ukraine and recommended the ap- proval of the compact.
 Ukraine Succeeds Russia
 Speaking of the first reading of the Ukraine treaty, Dr. von Kuehlmann said the Ukraine peoples republic was young state, reared on the ground of the former Russian empire after the decaying edifice of the tsar's en- pire which shared the principal guilt for kindling the worlds war, collapsed under the blow of the German armies. The Ukrainian race was one of the strongest clements of the Russian en- miro In rocpaet fO it's minerals rpal and iron. the Ukraine was very rich and also possessed clements of it's own industry.
 The Great Russian representatives of the Bolsheviki, the foreign secre- tary continued, maintained friendly | relations with the Ukraine so long as Leon Trotzky. the Bolshevik foreign minister, could assume that the peo- ples republic of the Ukraine would primarily direct their policies accord : ing to the interests of the Petregrad cabinet. When, however, the Ukra- inians realized that the Petrograd cabinet was not pursuing sincere peace policy, the representatives Of the Ukraine adopted the standpoint of ending the war by peace, they would in no wise be responsible for the sins of czarism.
 Negotiations not Easy
 'The negotiations were not quite as easy in most cases with such young peoples" said Dr. von Kuehlmann National ideals and desires were not | free from the exuberance of theiI representatives. They made territorial demands which were hardly able of realization. The demarkation of the frontier with Russia had to be left fol a. later period-after discussions with the Russian government then in pow | CT. The only thing that concerned us

yielding of the food administration in
Bohemia and Tyrol must seem dis
tinct step toward the breaking up OF
the Austrian Empire.
Some terrible pictures of the food
situation in Bohemia nave reached The
outside world through the correspond
ent of the Vienna "Arbciter Zeitung,''
Socialist, who accompanied the Emperor
into these districts. He wrote:
"Evcrywhere the Emperor was met
by dcputations, who described to hin,
the dreadful scarcity Of food and starv-
alton suffered by the populace.
AT Schluckenau n deputation stated
that so per cent of the population was
underfed and large proportion of the
people were unfit for work There is a
great deal of hunger, typhus and tuber-
culosis."
A telegram via Amsterdam saws that
several newspapers are skeptical re-
garding the question whether in the
interval it will be possible to create y
basis giving better prospect for further
parliamentary labors. The Berlin

alton of the approximate tonnage at
the disposal of our enemies, we must
speak of world tonnage. Deputy Err
berger said in the Reichstng commit
tee. Il have shown and emphasized that
we must speak of world tonnage If
we should accept the figures of sink
lngs issued by the German Admiralty
on March 20, 1918, as basis, it would
appear that to April I. 1918, the total
| OF torpedoed tonnage amounts to 49,
100000 tons. According to official fig
ures of December II, 1917. about a
fourth of the total world tonnage had
been sunk up to that time, and the new
construction reached during that year
two and half to four million tons.
If we tried to find the total new ship
constructions during the three and
the average annual ship construction
at 3,250,O00 tons. we would have a fig
ure of 100000 tons.
According to Lloyd's Register on
June 80, 1914, the world tonnage
amounted to 49,o89,552 gross tons
steamers, 45,4O3,877 tons; sailing YES
sells, 3,685,675 tons). If we add to this
only 100000 tons of new construc-
tion till April ], 1918, we obtain a
total of 100000 tons. From this we
must subtract 22,000.000 tons of total
! war. accidents. etc.. According to
these figures. the world merchant ma
rne too day amounts to about 37,0O0,oO0

at is these a7,ooo,ooo tons that our
uboats must take into account. 1t
would be hopeless to attempt to an
swer the question, How much Of this
100000 tons is now at the disposal
Of the cnemy?' or with how many
tons can they continue the war; Our
U-boats sink on the average between
100000 and 100000 tons a month. That
IS III round figures about 100000 tons
g year. Now, everybody can get a
picture of the future course Of the war
on the sea if he takes into considera-
tion the fact that under the present
pressure there is to be expected con-
tiaually stronger activity in the enemy
as we'll as neutral shipyards.
Urges Peace Of Agreement
DOUBTLESS the next few months will
be a critical period for England But
the hope that this will force England
to the conclusion of peace is not at all
justified.
"The further resistance of the Eng

ly question of nerve. There is no
use in Understanding our Anglo
Saxon opponents. They have many an
instrument at their disposal to remedy
their lack of tonnage. Let us think,
for example, of the Salonica enterprise,
which required many ships. Let us be-
ware, then, from foreseeing period in
the near future when the Britons and
Americans will conclude peace because
