yet been officially accepted by the
Lenine-Trotzky government
The Bolshevik steam roller is su-
preme in the soviet gathering. At to-
days second session there was never
any doubt as to the overwhelming
Bolshevik strength. There was lone

manding the immediate consideration
OF the peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk, in view of the critical results
of those conferences, disintegration of
the army and internal troubles. The
group was regularly voted down.
Reject Holy War.
One proposition fostered by the mi
of holy revolutionary war against
the central empires. The Bolsheviki
declined to accept such a suggestion
and held the convention to the slated
order OF business.
NicholafI enine in a lengthy speech
reviewed the Bolshevik administration
and predicted the complete defeat of
General Kaledipes and the Ukrainian
rada's revolt. He said both moves
were d. omed to die GU. as the result
of a revolutionary movement from
within the Ukraine and the Don.

His statement confirms information
sent out last week that Germany's re-
call of her U-boats forecast a great

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
Clarence Lodge, Despondent, Dies at
State Hospital Sunday.

Suspending a belt over a shower
bath crane and then placing 1t around
his neck, Clarence Lodge. AZ. well
known Topeka newspaperman ?;
surrounding the bath. The tragedy
occurred at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon at the state hospital, where
Lodge had been confined as patient
since February, year ago.
Two attendants were giving pa
tients baths during the afternoon. L.
McClintock was in charge of Lodge
McClintock stepped out of the room
few minutes, giving Lodge an OPP
portunity to take a belt from his
trousers, place loop around his neck,
another loop over the shower bath
crane, eight feet in height, and jump
from a. hand rail. He was dead when
the attendant returned. A vertebra
was broken in his neck, according to
Coroner o. F. Narcotic.
Lodge was engaged in the newspa-
per business in Topeka for twelve
years. He worked as a reporter and
editorial writer on the Topeka State
Journal. He was a graduate of Will
Hams college and prior to coming to
Topeka worked on the Brooklyn, N.
Y, Standardization and was at one
time an Associated Press correspond
ent at Albany, N. Y.
About year ago Lodge became
desppndent over i'll health. He was
sent to the state hospital, where all
efforts to effect cure proved of little
avail
Besides a wife, Lodge is survived by
a mother, Mrs. harrington Lodge, and
a sister, Miss Margaret Lodge, 700
Tyler street, and another sister, Mrs.
Parker Hill of Carbonate, Ill. His
wife lives with her brother. A. H.
Ward, 11S East Seventh street.
Clarence Lodge was a brilliant
newspaper man. Raised in the atmos-
phere of the newspaper offices of New
York city he came to Kansas with
the.training and experience of service
under some of the most we'll known
editors of the country. Enthused with
the spirit of the west he entered at
once into most promising career in
Topeka. Then his health broke and
he was placed in. charge of expert
physicians both from private practice
and Of the state. His death is real
loss to the Fourth Estate in Kansas
in person and in the field of the
printed page. Sympathies go out to
the saddened relatives and especially
to a loyal and devoted wife.

GERMAN DISGUISED
AS SPAN|ARO SEIZED
Jose Gonzalez" Proves TO BE Bruhi,
of nschwcig--Instalied In
the Tpomba,

New York, Feb. 26.-Agents of the
department of justice the other day
paid a surprise call upon Gunther
Rruhl. q German who has been work
ing as a clerk OF the Edward JoiIes
company. Importers at so West
Broadway. They invited him TO visit
Robert p. Stephenson. assistant United
states attorney and to take whatever
baggage he might have along. for he
wasn't coming back in hurry. Later
they installed him in the Toombs and
telegraphed to Washington for per-
mission to send him to some Southern
internment camp.
Just what caused this sudden seizure
is a secret in the department of JUS
tice Offices. It was learned, however
that Bruhl had masQueraded under
the name of Jose Marine Gonzalez,
representing himself to be a Spanish
subject, and also that he had made
his way into this country under false
pretenses. In 1918, having come. II
is believed. direct from his native city
of Braunschweig.
q Bruhl asserts that he came here for
legitimate business purposes. but the
authorities doubt very much that Ger
many would have permitted a man
physically capable of military service
to leave the country unless there was
q special reason. The prisoner said
that the Spanish name was cam ou-
flage, adopted to prevent his seizure
by the British authorities when 6 ne
was on his way TO this country.
The suspect has been residing in
brooklyn, where he mixed with many
other unnaturalized Germans, He is
twenty-five years old.

Central Bureau For War Activities.
In view of the many opportunities
being offered citizens TO help in the
war drive, II ig suggested by num-
Der OF men interested in raising funds
for the various demands that oen-
trail bureau be formed. with active
men at the head. to push along the
varied calls and claims.
There are now committees on thrift,
liberty loan, Salvation Army, smileage
books. and other drives. II Is believed
by the men Interested in the proposed
bureau that more good may be accom-
plished through a central headquar
ters than by individual and separate
movements
AL said Jeter Jones, who is very
much interested in the plan, may con-
centrate their energies. at some CEN
trail point, and acting under the pres
ent heads OF the various movements,
from the central bureau, get together
with, probs bly,. better results. There
need be nothing of conflict between
the various committees,
It is understood that at the next
