HertIine's Talk is Called Trick.

Washington.-Con was not
much impressed with the possibilities
for peace as result of Chancellor Won
Hertling's acceptance of four of Presi-
dent Wilson's general principles as a
basis for negotiation. While some
members of both houses saw in the
German chancellor's latest utterance
an indication of German desire for
peace and few thought it might pos
sibly lead TO something tangible, the
majority were inclined to the view
that the new German declaration
would not bring the war nearer to
close.

London, Feb. 26.-Germany plans to
restore the monarchy in Russia, &C
cording to a telegram dated Friday in
Petrograd to the Morning Post. 1t
says the grand duke of Hesse has
been appointed the commander in the
Riga section of the German front.
His sister," the dispatch adds, "the
former Empress Alexandria, as the
guardian of her son, the former czare-
witch, is the favorite German candi-
date for the throne. The for
mer emperor will not accept the
throne from German hands.
The Bolsheviki have provided a
form of government which the Rus
SLAMS alone understand-pure despot-
ism. They have paved the way for
the return of the monarchy"
General Brukevitch has been ap-
pointed successor to Ensign Krylenko,
as commander-in-ch chief of the Russian
armies, according to Berlin dispatch
forwarded from Amsterdam by the
central news agency. General Bruke-
witch, according to the message, has
been proclaimed dictator and has or
dered the Russian troops to fight to
the last.
Amsterdam, Feb. 26.-Speaking be-
fore the reichstag, the imperial Ger
man chancellor, Count Won Hertling,
made this declaration:
81 can fundamentally agree with the
four principles, which in President
Wilson's view must be applied in
mutual exchange of views, and thus
declare with President Wilson that
general peace can be discussed on
such a basis.
"Only one reserve need be made in
this connection: These principles
must not only be proposed by the Pres
ident of the United States, but also
must actually be recognized by all
states and peoples.
But this goal has not yet been
reached There is still no court of
arbitration established by all the ma
tions for the preservation of peace in
the name of justice.
Unfortunately, however, there is no
of the leading powers of the entente.
England's war aims are still thorough
ly imperialistic and she wants to i'm
pose on the world peace according
to England's good pleasure.
"If, therefore, proposal came from
the opposing side, for example, from
the government in Havre, we should
not adopt an antagonistic attitude,
even though the discussion at first
might only be unbinding.
Meanwhile, l readily admit that
President Wilson's message of Feb. IL
constitutes perhaps a small step to-
ward a mutual rapprochement."
Count Won Hertling, the German i'm
perial chancellor, announced in the
reichstag that the Russian government
had accepted the German peace condi-
tions and he added that the conclusion
of peace must ensue shortly.

London, Feb. 26.-Pskov, 175 miles
southwest of Petrograd, has been re-
captured by the Bolsheviki, and street
fighting is going on there, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Petrograd dated Monday. The
Red Guards are resisting the German
advance everywhere. The capture of
Pskov by the Germans was announced
in the official statement issued Mon
day night at Berlin. A Petrograd dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company, dated Monday, says: THAT
resistance to the German advance is
growing is shown by the reports of
fighting which continues in the vicin-
ity of Pskov. This town has changed
hands several times. The German de-
tachments which first entered Pskov
were small, but they have since been
reinforced.
There is a general belief that the
Germans are moving forward hastily
because supplies of ammunition worth
4O0,0OO.OOO rubles are concentrated in
the neighborhood of Pskov."
Late advices say that the soviet ar
mics are now everywhere resisting the
invaders. At Narva the garrison and
workmen have formed an army OF
10000 and gone to Reval. There are
similar reports from Walk. Great ac'
tivity is manifested at Bolshevik head
quarters in Petrograd and arms and
ammunition are being distributed.
A report that 10000 German sol
diers refused to attack the Russians
in the new campaign was given out by
the Bolshevik telegraph agency. Pol
ish troops in some instances are said
to have fled.

Sergeant Major Larkin
AT the Orplleum Today

One Of the stunts of Sergeant Major
Larkin, who is to be seen at the
>Orpheum today and Saturday, is to
invite anyone in the audience to
come on the stage and choke him.
1t can't be done and he shows what
happened to German who tried it
once.
In addition to-his spectacular war
act the Sergeant Major describes
with rare eloquence, but in plain
found them and tells what the con-
ditions are under which the Amer
lean boys are now fighting.
Another interesting angle with the
Sergeant Majors appearance will
be the answering of questions put
to him by anyone in the audience
pertaining directly or indirectly to
conditions "over there" He will
answer any reasonable question to
the best of his ability and as he is
a man of college education and as
he has had sixteen years in the Inn
perial service he is qualified to an
extraordinary extent to give intelli-
gent replies.
He will also hold an after-meet-
ing for adults only at which time
he will describe in plain language
certain German atrocities of which
he has personal knowledge.
In Minneapolis Commander Ter
hume extended a special invitation
to the Sergeant Major to review the
HOO "Jackies" at the Dunwoody in
stitute, following which the Sergeant
Major gave a demonstration which
brought forth written note of ap-
prevail from Commander Terhune.

said to be the most novel and con-

Patent Medicines and Lemon Extract
to Come Under BAN.
Helena, Mont, July 26.-Now that
many doubtful phases of statewide
prohibition which becomes effective
In Montana at midnight on Dec. 81,
are being cleared, it is noticeable that
certain citizens like the law less and
less.
Druggists have been informed that
proprietary medicines containing
more than per cent of alcohol are
affected by the decision. Many re
quests for advice have been received
by Atty. Gen. S. G. Ford.
It is understood that Indians on the
various reservations are keenly inter
ested in the move to include certain
cooking preparations which contain a
large percentage of alcohol. The &C
ton which South Dakota took against
lemon extract is to be duplicated in
Montana, according to information
from official sources. It is said that
lemon extract has been in great de-
mand on Indian reservations where
liquor is prohibited.
Newspapers have commented upon
two features Of the prohibition stu
alton. When the amendment was sub
mitted to the people, thousands of
voters were of the opinion that pro
hibition didn't have a chance in
Montana, it is claimed. For that
reason, some say, no special effort to
digest the wording of the amendment
was made and when the state finally
voted to become dry, the text Of the
law became more interesting.

Peggy Hyland at
The Isis Today \

"Other Mems Daughters" is the
title Of the new play in which Miss
Peggy Hyland, the William Fox star,
will be seen at the Isis theater to-
day and Saturday.
The story is full of action and snap
and gives Miss Hyland a far better
opportunity to display her ability
than any other play in which she
has appeared. "Other Mems Daugh-
ters" is a photoplay that mirrors the
feeling and attitude of gay fathers
when some other man trifles with
their daughters. 1t is crowded with
thrilling incidents and keeps Miss
Hyland on the jump all the time to
cover the ground in five reels.
