STOCKHOLM REPORTS
MOVE OF GERMANS

Stockholm, Feb. 18.--The Ger
mans resumed war measures against
Russia today, the Social Demokraten
states. Their first objeC e is the
seizure of Esthonia and Livona, it de-
clares.
within week we will occupy
Reval," General Hoffman, German
military representative at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference, is reported
TO have told the Russians late in
January when they asked what would
happen if they did not accept Ger
many's final terms.
The Stockholm announcement in
dicates that Germany is moving to
carry out this threat Reval is the
capital of the province of Esthonia.
1t is situated on the gulf of Finland
and has been one of the principal
Russian naval bases for Baltic opera
tons. It had population before the
war of between $4,000 and 10000.
Hold Much of Coast.
The German occupation of Riga
last fall and the extension Of their
ei'yasion noftifwaf'd gave them poss-
ession of portion of the province of
Livonia, including virtually all the
coast on the gulf Of Riga. Its area
Is 1880 square miles. Immediately
to the north, bordering on the gulf
of Finland, is the province of Esth-
onia, 1900 square miles in area.
These two provinces together with
the province of Courland, which has
for some time been in German poss-
ession, comprise the Baltic provinces,
possession of which by Germany in
the peace settlement has been insist
ed upon by the ultra -annexationist
faction in the empire.
Occupation of Reval would natur-
ally be one Of the first steps to be
taken were a military advance upon
Petrograd in prospect. A railroad
runs thence along the coast to the
capital which is about hundred
miles distant.

Transcription of labor for indust-

Powerful influences are operating,
