telegram announces.
1.-THE Ibolsheviki government probably
will recognize no peace agreement
signed lby the Ukrainian rada. This Is
the government body set up by the Uk-
rainians when they established an In
dependent republic. Fighting has been
in progress between the Ukrainians
and the bolsheviki troops in the last
few weeks.
When peace negotiations were be-

With the French Armies In France
Feb. 9.-The army OF the German

costly defeats in various raids on poth

sion by the French. who met them
! with the bayonet and hand grenade.
North of hill 344 on Feb. 3 five Ger
man columns advanced in thick fog
and succeeded in entering the French
front line momentarily. The enemy
was driven out and again suffered sci
verely. ..... ...
A Baden division, preceded by shock
units, assaulted the French line at the
same place on Feb. 4. They gained
footing on the trenches for few min
lutes but were chased off after uselessly
sacrificing many lives.
On Feb. g. near Fosses wood. an
other attack was made at dawn by
Hanoverian troops and relief division.
They reached the French barbed wire
and occupied an element Of the French
positions. They were driven out almost
Immediately and were pursued by the

Join the Red Cross.

The annual campaign for the Red Cross
membership is commenced, and it ought to be
but "a very short time until every Omahan is
registered as member. Reasons for joining
this organization, for contributing to its mann
tenance and assisting in its activities many
and potent In its worldwide scope it has per-
formed services that were possible through no
other agency. 1t is admitted that several or
CARNATIONS have borne great part in the amel-
Grafton Of wars horrors but they were special
in nature and more or less restricted in func-
ton. The Red Cross goes everywhere, is
known everywhere and serves everybody. The
only restriction placed upon it is when it enters
Mussuman country and becomes the Red
Crescent, but in this it only changes its insg-
MIA, the blessed purpose remaining the same.
Mercy is its mission, and to relieve misery and
soften hardship its object. Enrolment in its
list of supporters means association with mil
lions of men and women to whom the appeal
of suffering humanity is not made in vain. The
war has left dreadful load of responsibility for
the Red Cross to assume, and it must have sup
port And that is why Omaha will again put
down 100 per cent for the Greatest Mother on
Earth"
