GERMANY RESUMES WAR ON RUSSIA
STRIKE THREATENS TO TIE UP ALASKAN CANNERIES
5:s-IETTER WORD HURLED
 AT FOE BY VORWAERTS

AMSTERDAM: It was Mark Twain who made the discovery that the Ger man language abounded in words so long that they have a perspective. His record of thirty-seven-letter word is easily beaten by the Berlin Vorwaerts which accuses we'll known Pan-Ger- man publicist of being a:
 "Hungerie Densresolutionsmehr heitsbiszuendebekaempfer."
 To save time. it may at once be stated that this monstrosity is fifty three letters long. and it means "op- ponent to the bitter end of the treich- stagD majority resolution for a hun ger peace"
 The assaulted Pan-German has so far refrained from replying to the ac- cusation in suitable terms. Paper is probably too scarce in Germany.

 to German Peace

BERLIN, Feb. 19.- Extensive war operations have been resumed against Russia. large force of Germans hay ing crossed the Dvina river, the war office announced. The resumption of hostilities arose over the refusal of the Bolsheviki government to sign the separate peace compact with the Ger man and Austrian government.
