The Petrograd soviet has issued a statement saying that these regiments were influences contrary to. the revolutionary movement.
 Leave to Save Pstroprad
 In explanation of the governments evacuation of Petrograd, the soviet has issued statement saying the commissioners went to Moscow for the purpose of saving PetroErad from destruction, as they believed the governments removal will dem- onstrate the strength of the Russian peoples government and show the Germans that the capture of the capital would be useless as the gov ernment is prepared to fall back con- stantly before the German advance, resisting and slowing down the enemy onslaught.

GIVEN CHANCE
 MAN T0 REFORM

Not wishing to send a man to the penitentiary, but believing that so- ciety should be protected, N. P. McCallum appeared as the complain ing witness in the case of the state versus c. A. Brangrover, charged with petty larceny.
 Brangrover was charged with steal ing a pump. the value of which did not exceed $15. When it was shown by witnesses in Justice De Souza's court yesterday that the value was more than $50, attorney for the de- fendant asked for dismissal which was granted.
 Brangrover then found himself a defendant in a grand larceny case and his counsel, A. D. Leyhe, tEen asked to withdraw the motion for dismissal and plead guilty. He made plea for leniency on the ground that the wife and baby of the de- fendant were in destitute circum- stances and the complaining witness and the state offered no resistance. The court imposed a sentence of 35 lays or dollars which he suspended.

THREE ARRESTED ON
 CONSPIRACY CHARGE
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-Two enemy aliens and one naturalized American were arrested today and held in heavy bail tonight on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the govern ment by furnishing defective gauges for torpedoes used on American war ships.
 The men under arrest are Fritz Bie- ret assistant to the general manager of the United States Gauge company of Sellersville, Pa, William Hendricks, general foreman, and George Schubert, foreman. A fourth man will be placed under arrest tomorrow.
 United States Commissioner Howard Long, in holding the men in s5, 900 bail, said he made the bond high because he assumed there might be something more serious in the case.
 It is charged that the accused men installed secret taps and pumps to the gauges which the company is making for the government, with the result that the tests were defeated.
 The defeat of the tests left some of the gauges, which are. used to measure the air pressure of torpedoes, defective, according to government agents. Whether any of the defective gauges are on torpedoes on board warships, government officers could not say.

AIRMEN FIGHT HUNS
 ON GROUND BENEATH
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

LONDON, March 22.-British air craft during the fighting along the front in France Thursday aided ma- terially the infantry forces below, kill ing or wounding many Germans with their machine guns while flying at low attitudes, according to a British official communication issued tonight, dealing with aviation.
 In addition British aircraft bonn barded important military positions behind the line and aviators accounted for numerous German airmen in bat ties in the air.
 The text of the communication fol- lows:
 Official Statement Made
 "The mist over the whole front Thursday morning cleared locally later, but in some places the weather was unsuitable for low flying. The enemy s attacking troops and endorsements on the battle front offered excellent tar gets to the pilots of our low flying machines, which poured many thou sands of rounds into them, causing in- numerable casualties.
 Our bombing machines also at- tackled these targets, in addition to bombing important railway stations on the battle front, over 100 bombs being dropped.
 Fight at Low Attitudes
 "A great deal of fighting occurred al How attitudes, in which sixteen hostile machines were downed and six driver down out of control. A hostile balloon was destroyed by one of our pilots One of the enemy's low flying airplanes was shot down in our lines by infantry Three of our machines are missing.
 During the night, flying squadrons lin the southern area of the front were unable to leave the ground owing tC the mist. In the northern area, whert the weather was clear, our airplane. dropped 36 tons of bombs on the dock, yards at Bruges and 36 tons of bomb. on rest billets northwest of Tournai All of the machines returned"

AMERICANS AT SEA
 OVER HUNS OBJECT

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Lacking reports of an official character beyond the communiques issued by the British government, American army officers tonight still were unable to formulate conclusive opinions as to the scope and purpose of the German thrust against the British front in the Cambrai sector
 General Pershing is expected to transmit soon information handed on to him from the British headquarters. It is anticipated that complete sum- mary of what transpired yesterday and of subsequent events along the British front will reach the war department in this way and form background of in- formation upon which officials can measure the strength of the German movement for themselves.
 Aim to Recapture Lines Lost
 As additional details came in the purpose of the German high command appeared to center upon the re- capture Of the most advanced portion of the British trench line in the Cambrai re- zion. There was nothing to indicate, however, it was said, whethsf the German purpose was to use the terri tory it was thus hoped to gain as a vantage point from which to strike further blow1 or was designed to protect from possible allied efforts the communication centers in the vicinity of Cambrai.
 American Officers Satisfied
 No officer would hazard an opinion today as to the underlying motive of the German army commanders. All said the information thus far received was of too scattered a character to show conclusively whether operations at other points on the 50-mile front involved are mere covering enter prises or are clements in a scheme of grand attack.
 On the face of reports thus far seen, | officers were well satisfied with the display of resisting power made by the British troops. They are more than ever confident of the ability of General Haig's men not only to check the Ger man onslaught within reasonable limits, but to hurl it back when it's in- stial force has been expended The promptness with which successful i counter attacks were driven home by the British was noted as was the un- broken spirit of the men after the terrific ordeal through which they had passed.

COUNTER ATTACKS OF
 ENGLISH SUCCESSFUL
IRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, March 22.-The Germans on Friday along most all of the bat tie front continued their attacks in great strength. At several points the enemy made gains against the British. but at others he was re- pulsed in counter attacks, according to the British, official communica- ton issued tonight. The statement says the British losses inevitably have been consider able, but not out of proportion to the magnitude of the battle. The enemy's losses continue very heavy, all his advances being made at great sacrifices.
 The greatest courage is being shown by the British troops.
 The communication says:
 This morning the enemy renewed his attacks in great strength along practically the whole of the battle front. Fierce fighting occurred in our battle positions and is still con- tinuing.
 Repulsed by Counter Attacks
 "The enemy made some progress
 
 troops have been thrown back by our counter attacks.
 Our losses inevitably have been considerable, but they have not been out of proportion to the magnitude of the battle.
 From reports received from all parts of the battle front, the enemy's S losses continue to be very heavy, and his advance everywhere has been made at great sacrifice.
 "Our troops are fighting with the greatest gallantry. Exceptional gall lantry was shown by the 24th di- vision in a. protracted defense at Leverguier and by the third division, who maintained our positions in the neighborhood of the Bapaume- Cam brai road against repeated attacks

HELENA, Mont, March 22-By unanimous vote, the Montana senate late today passed sentence of im- peachment on Charles l.. Crum. formerly of Forsyth and until re- gently judge of the fifteenth judicial district. Judge Crum was not pres- ent at the trial nor represented by counsel and his whereabouts are un- known. The verdict removes him from his office and disqualifies him forever from holding offices of honor, trust or profit in this state.
 The final vote came after the presiding officer of the senate court, Lieutenant Governor McDowell, had submitted to vote each of the six articles of impeachment, charging disloyalty and sedition. All were ap- proved. The sentence was then passed and the senate adjourned sine die.
 Judge Crum resigned his office after the state house of representa- tives, acting on charges preferred against him and which accused him of pro-German acts and, utterances after the entrance of the United States into the war, had voted for his impeachment. Shortly afterward. according to a report received at the capitol, he left the state.
