Germany BEGINS
RUSSIAN INVASION
FAILURE TO SIGN PEACE CON-
PACT BRINGS ON RENEWED
FIGHTING IN RUSSIA.
.BOLsHEVIKl CAPTURE kIEv
Austria-Hungary, Not Confirming to
Germany's Policy Toward Russia,
Will confine Herself to Problems
Nearer Home.-itaiians Active.

With Russia in the grip or interne-
cine strife and her battle line denuded
OF men as a result of the peace decla-
ration of the bolsheviki, Germany al
ready has begun the carrying out of
her threat of invasion because Of the
failure Of the bolshevili to sign a
peace compact with the central pow
ers. A despatch from Berlin an
nounces that German troops have
crossed the Dvina river.
Reports emanating from Sweden
say taht the Germans have begun
pushing forward their troops into
Russia's two remaining Baltic prov
inces-Esthonia and Livonia-the
taking of which completely isolated
Russia from the shores of the Baltic
and give the enemy. in addition to the
mort OF Riga. the city of Veval. sltua-
ted. +on the Gulf OF Finland opposite
\ ~Helsingfors. whence they easily might
operate against Petrograd by sea
~ Although Austria Hungary had
shown dissatisfaction over the stand
that Germany has taken toward Rus
sia, the dual monarchy evidently has
been placated by a promise OF Ger
many that any German military activ-
ity will be confined to northern Rus
sia, and Austria-Hungary left to deal
with whatever other problems may
arise in the territory adjacent to her
borders.
Belated dispatches from Petrograd
tell OF the capture Of Kiev. the new
capital OF Ukraine, by the bolsheviki.
The fighting Is described as having
been OF an extremely sanguinary char.
acter. 1000 persons having been killed
and several thousand wounded. Great
destruction was wrought in the town
by shells and explosives dropped by
aviators.
At Odessa another big battle has
been fought between the bolsheviki
and the moderates during which war
ships In the harbor bombarded the
city. Polish legions at Minsk are de,
clared to have been sanguinarily de-
feated and put to rout. while the boil
sheviki also are reported to have cap
tured Tongorod. on the Black Sea. and
Voronezeh. capital OF the province of
the same name.

GEN. PERSHiNG WANTS
MORE ARMY CHAPLAINS

hinGton.-General Pershing has
recommended to the war department
hat the number OF chaplains in the
army be increased for the war to an
average of three for each regiment
with an additional number assigned in
order to be available for such detach-
ed duty as may be required.
The present law provides only one
chaplain for each regiment, but there

ing that number to one for each 1900
men in all branches OF the military
establishment. The measure has the
approval OF the war department and
administration leaders have urged its
early passage.

the other hand, they everywhere have

pressed both from British and French
sources that should the Germans
strike-no matter how early the mo-

the enemy to almost abandon their

GERMAN TROOPS REFUSE TO
MOVE TO FREcNH FRONT

Petrograd German soldiers AT
Grodno and Kovno, according to re-
port received here from Moscow. have
wfused to obey a command to move
to the French front. The troops hav.
entrenched themselves under the pro.
lection OF their own artillery and
have defetead detachment OF loyal
forces which the German stan sent to
punish them. This may be an echo of
an earlier report of mutiny among
German soldiers.

Epidemic Continues

DIR. S. L. Leonard, chairman of the
Redwood Falls Board of Health, re-
ports that Monday there were between
twenty five and thirty cases of in
fluenza in Redwood Falls although
not many serious ones. No new cas-
es were reported Sunday or Monday
but the cases reported last week were
from two to four each day. Four
were reported Saturday. The ban
on all public meetings will hold good
for the remainder of this week at
least and possibly longer. There will
be no Thanksgiving services in the
chun,hes and possibly no services
next Sun. If conditions continue fav-
orable throughout the week churches
will open next Sunday and possibly
the schools Monday. DIR. Leonard
states that this matter is entirely I'M
decided, however as no chances will
be taken of spending the contagion
by opening public places until the
danger has entirely abated. Stores
and other business places remained
closed Saturday evening as they have
for the past several weeks. There
were many out-of-town people here
during the day for the first time
since the influenza first visited Red
wood Falls.

BentaII Loses;
Will Try Again

J. o. BENTALL FILES ANOTH-
Err APPEAL. TRIED DEC. l

J. O. Bentall, convicted on two
charges in federal court in Minneapo-

Bentall, one time candidate for gov
ernor of Minnesota, was convicted in
October, 1917, of persuading John
Kassube, a farm laborer, not to reg
lister for the draft on June 5, 1917.
Kassube, who was a former farm
hand in Bentalls employ came to

gister and was finally arrested here.

writ of error, which will be heard
during the next term of court, which
will convene Dec. /, in S. Louis.

Cases such as that Of James A. Pc

articles in the Minneapolis and St.

The supreme court will be asked to
expedite the Peterson case, and also
that of Eugene V. Debs and Jacob

7 Give $4,000
CITY AND DISTRICT RAISES
S9773.7O IN UNITED WAR
FUND WORK CAMPAIGN.

While the campaign for the United
War Work Fund is still going on in
Redwood County and definite returns
are therefore not available, Judge A.
C. Dolliff, County Chairman states
that there is little doubt that the
county will reach at least $4,000.
The quota was $51, 900 and the mar
gin is sufficiently wide to show that
the county as whole has done its
duty in this respect even though sew
eral individuals have baked and side
stepped at every turn That the
county has done its share is not be-
cause of these unpartiotic citizens,
but in spite of them and they are at
present in most unpopular minority.
The campaign has been g. eatiy
delayed in the country districts be-
cause of the bad condition Of many
roads. The influenza epidemic has
also been a great drawback. How
ever, with conditions steadily improv-
ing, the campaign should close with
in very short time.

consists of the city Of Redwood Falls
