with the bolsheviki. The view often
had been expressed that Germany had
peace less in mind than to secure
things valuable in Russia.
The manner in which Germany play
ed off the Ukraine against the bolshe-
Wiki is regarded as characteristic
example of German diplomatic tradi-
tions. 1t is felt that the Ukrainian call
for help has been instigated at the
suggestion Of Germany.
Doubt is expressed whether the
move against Dvinsk Is merely the
turn Of the screw expected to make the
bolsheviki grant submissively what
Germany wants or will be followed by
serious military operations. In any
case the announcement is pronounced
merely sharp practice.
Want Three Provinces.
The German occupation Of Riga last
fall and the extension Of their invasion
northward gave them possession of a
portion of eSe province OF Livonia, in :
Guiding virtually all the coast on the
Gulf Of Riga. Its area is 1S,S00 square
miles. Immediately to the north bor-
dering on the Gulf of Finland. is Es-
thonia, 1900 square miles in area.
These two provinces, together with
the province of Courland, which has
for some time been in German posses
sion, comprise the Baltic provinces.

sympathy with the bolsheviki in an
article in the socialist organ Vorwaerts
Of Berlin, by Otto Braun. He charges
that the Russian delegates to Brest-

truce to arrange peace. but rather to
extend the revolution to the territory
of thu. central powers.

Premier lloyd George Delivers State
ment on Army Changes.

London, Feb. 19.-Premier Lloyd
George today made in the house Of
commons 1 his eagerly awaited state
ment regarding recent army changes.
He said the government was anxious to
retain the services Of General Sir Will
liam Robertson as chief Of staff 50 long
as it was combatible with the policy
decided upon in common with Great
Britain's allies.
The premier said the policy Of the
government was based upon the as
sumption that the allies had suffered in
the past thru lack Of concerted and CO.
ordinated efforts and it had been de-
cided to get UP a centrol authority to
CO. ordinate the strategy Of the allies.

Allies Ready For Action.

1t has been pointed out that pre-
liminary bombardment of four or five
hours to cut the enemy wire entangle-
ment and to demolish trenches was
sufficient to give the Germans firm
footing in Russian strenShes. The
enemy has not been told however
that the morale of the Russians was
low.
The Germans will find the allied
morale of the highest pitch and their
attack will be far from the surprise
desired. The allies are ready for big
blow and await with assurance the
next move of the German high COM
mand.
The coming battles, perhaps, will be
the most sanguinary of the war and
the most intense yet seen. They Will
mark the beginning Of the end, how
ever, for if the Germans fail they have
lost the war The German emperor has
put everything into this great gamble.
The allied forces have a superiority

TO ACCEPT PEACE
AT ANY SACRIFICE
Peace With Germany Would Remove
Remaining Assistance SIavs Have
Been Giving AiIies-Two Armies Of
Invasion Marching Into Russia
Without Meeting Resistance-One
Going to Aid Of Ukraine,

While German armies have
crossed the Divina and entered
Dvinsk to deliver blow at great
Russia, an official report received
in London from Petroerad de-
ciares that Russia is ready to
= sign peace upon the condition pro-
posed by Germany.
The official statement which pro-
tests against German resumption
Of the war declares Russia now is
forced to declare its readiness to
sign a peace as dictated by the
Teutons at Brest.Litovsk.
Almost at the same time comes
the report that the boIsheviki has
been driven from power at Petro-
grad, but this report comes thru
Finnish and Danish channels.
If Russia now concludes jeace
with Germany and her allies it
would definitely remove what as
sistance Russia has been giving
the allies on the western front by
acting as "magnet" in keeping
Teuton forces on the long eastern
front.
Germany's advance into great
Russia by the way Of the Dvina is
coupled with a movement by her
forces further south into little
Russia or the Ukraine to aid the
Ukrainians to fight the bolsheviki..
This army advancing from kovel
already has oecupiedy lutsk, the
most ewsterly Of the famous Rus
sian triangle group Of forts in VOL
hynia, the others Of which are
Dubno and Rovno.
Neither of the invading armies
has met any Russian opposition
worth mentioning.
Germany has returned to the
attack on the Russian front and
the boIshevik government must
face it's greatest test-the power
Of German miIitarism. s..
Invading forces have crossed the
Dvina and Dvinsk and arc advans-
ing eastward from koveI, voIhy-
MIA, to aid the hard-pressed Uk-
rainians and to protect the food
supplies in the new country. ..
Berlin announces that Dvinsk has
been entered by the Germans and
Vienna reports that the Russian
town Of Lutsk in Vofhynia has
been occupied by Teutons without
fighting.
This is the first military activity
on these fronts since last Novem-
ber. What opposition the boIshe-
wiki can or will offer the Germans
is probIematieaI.
A week ago delayed dispatches
from Petrosrad said the bolsheviki
leaders were doubtful If Germany
would attack and apparently had
no intention to. fight the invaders.
The food shortage in great Rus
sia is desperate. The situation in
the Ukraine is serious, which may
account for many's decision to
act. In Odessa there has been
fighting.
