Austrians Will Not Take Part in This Inva- sion by a Special
 Agreement

London.) - Operations have been resumed on the Russian front. The Germans have crossed the Dvina. This an- nouncement was made by gen eral headquarters today.
 The text of the statement reads:
 "On the great Russian front hostilities began today at noon with an advance on Dvinsk. The Dvina has been crossed without fighting.
 "Called upon by Ukraine to help in their heavy struggle against the great Russia, our troops have commenced their advance from the direction of Kovel.

 vonla, 1t declares.
 UNUSUAL AGREEMENT Amsterdam, February 18s-An agreement has been reached between Germany and Austria Hungary whereby, in the event of military ac- tion being necessary, the German troops will be confined to the frontier |of Great Russia, and the Austrians to Ukraine only. This announcement is made in Vienna dispatch. Within week we will occupy Reva1.- General Hofmann. German military rep- resentative at the Brest-Litovsk peace conference is reported to have told the Russians later in January, when they asked what would happen if they did not accept Germanys final terms
 The Stockholm announcement indicates that Germany is moving to carry out this threat Reval, the capital of the province of Esthonia, is situated on the Gulf of Finland, and has been one of the principal Russian naval bases for Baltic operations. It had a population before the war of between 60.oo0 and 70O0o
 The Germans occupation of Riga last fall and the extension of their invasion northward gave them possession of a DOT ton of the province of Lfyonia includ- ing virtually all the coast on the Gulf of Riga. Immediately to the north, bor- dering on the Gulf of Finland, is the province of Esthona. These two prov inces. together with the province of Cour- land. which has for sometime been in German possession, comprise the Baltic provinces, possession of which Germany in the peace settlement has been in- sisted upon by the ultra a-annexationist faction in the empire.
 Occupation of Reval would naturally be one of the first steps to be taken were military advance upon Petrograd in prospect. A railroad runs thence along the coast to the capital, which Ia about 200 miles distant.

CHAIRMAN GERRY ASKS
.FORDEMOCRAT|CSE
Urges Voters Of the Nation to Con-
tinue His Party in =
Power.

Senator Gerry of Rhode Island.
chairman Of the Senate democratic
campaign committee. in a statement
urges. the election. of democratic
senators at the coming elections so
as to continue the party in power in
that body to uphold President Will
SON in the prosecution of the war.
and in the problems that must be
solved in this country following
peace.
The statement said: =.
IF President Wilson is to receive
ndence and aid is to be given him /;
If he is to stand forth as the spokes-
man of a united people. it can only
be done by electing< to the Senate
men of his political faith.
ITO argue that a democratic Presi-
dent can work with republican sepa-
tors with the same degree of har-
mony. no matter how loyal they may
be. is an absurdity. for a republican
majority in the Senate means a re-
organization of that body. with a
change in both the leadership and
the complexion of the various COM
ION this next election depends not
only the question of how the war
should be conducted. but also how
America and the world is to be re-
constructed when it is over" con-
tinued Senator Gerry. Woodrow
Wilson must be left unhindered in
the shaping Of these policies if
the principles of American democ-
racy. humanity and civilization are
to prevail"
The epidemic of influenza has up
set plans of both democrats and re-
publicans for campaign speeches
throughout the country by spell
binders" In practically every state
orders have been issued prohibiting
public meetings until after the in
f1uenza epidemic has subsidized Cam
paign committees. therefore, are now
planning to appeal to the voter by
advertisements and personal visits to
workers.

Become Graceful Birds.

Again the commander gave a signal.
The noise of the motors rose to deaf
ening proportions. The great covey

sped northward across the field, then
one after another took Off, the
ground. All. the clumsiness of the
''taxi-ing" was gone. The machines
had become graceful birds in fact. :
Swiftly they rose. while still within

all the world like a flock II geese with

! WITH AMERICAN AvIATORS IN
FRANCE, September 25 Correspond
I ence' Of the Associated Press).-The
start of an American bombing squad
ron on a raid into German territory
| is a spectacle to stir the enthusiasm
of an American and inspire him with
an appreciation of Americas growing
strength in the air.
The squadron already had been over
the German lines twice that day with
fair success, and the aviators lounged
in shady spots, gliding one another or
idly commenting upon the evolutions
of practice airplanes overhead. wher
the correspondent of the Associated
Press visited the flying field.
| Out of concealed and camoufaged
Office hut there stepped suddenly the
flight leader. Lieut.. Guhderlach, who
already has been named in the official
American communique for proves in
| the air.
Criticism Not Spared.
The aviators sprang to their feet
and gathered around their leader for
the final Instructions. He had not
been at all satisfied with the two per-
formances of the day. They had
shown tendency to straggle over
much and had not kept sufficiently

Hot criticism poured from his lips
! embarrassment The leader did not
spare them, but iterated and reiterated
! that "the formation is the thing, the
squadron is the thing" and, finally,
| God help a straggler!'
Get Hungry While A1oft.
| Then. the ordeal over, the avia.ors
went silently to their quarters for
their great, heavy, arctic clothing
on the field. ,swathing and swaddling

late into their pockets -(for they get
hungry up in the air) or breaking

until it revolved at lightning speed.

Airplane number one. bearing the

mechanics and swept in a big curve
