BOL LSHEVlK SEEMS TO BE
 TOTTERING TO IT'S FALL
Leaders Alarmed at Successes of Anti RevOlutiOnists, Likely to Seek Safety in Flight to
 Germany.

London, Aug 1.-The Anti-Dolshe- rapidly, the Bolshevik Soviet organ ization has virtually gone to pieces and Nikolai Lenine, the premier, and Leon Trotzky, his war minister, intend to flee to Germany should the situa- ton become too serious, according to recent Russian newspaper advices, the Exchange Telegraph correspondent of Copenhagen telegraphs.
 The Petrograd newspaper Izyesta is quoted by the correspondent as stat ing that at several points "in that part of Russia not occupied by the en- emy," unter-revolutionary move ments have broken out in al number Of towns. The Bolshevik Soviets have been overthrown in these places and replaced by councils consisting of rep resentatives of the Mensheykf, or moderates.
 In the city of Kazan, the newspaper adds, the widely known Bolshevik leader, Olschinsky, nas been killed, while there has been great hioodshed among the Bolshevik iii the Noygo- rod and Riszan districts.
 Germans Admit Danger.
 The German newspapers today ad- nit that the situation in Russia is so critical that change of government may come any day, according to a Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. The Berlin Tag lische Rundschau says that events have developed rapidly i'll Russia, in the last few weeks and that Germany must be prepared for the overthrow of the Bolshevik government in a few days. The paper says the fact that pr. Karl Helfferich, recently appoint ed German ambassador to Russia, in bach, is in Berlin, indicates that Ger many is prepared to meet any cnntil: gency. Tie Tr..Nfo.t Zeitung says that the pr ':ur. a:.. st MossoW from the northeast and southwest is growing very serious, the Czecho- Slovaks not only being within a snort distance of the city, but having suc- ceeding in cutting off the .ood supply. The paper adds that the opposition Qt the peasants to the Bolsheviki is grow ing stronger, ~s

EXPECT NEW PEACE DRIVE
With German Military Power on the Wane, Officials Predict
 New Effort.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Hints of German peace offensive reaching the State Department from various sources and evidences of indirect and cautious feelers already pu. o@t led today to an authorative statement that General March correctly set forth the attitude of the American gov ernment yesterday, when he said in a conference with newspaper men that now was the time for the great est effort ct the battle front.
 It IS known to the officials that more Ttutonic peace talk would have been forthcoming il the big March drive ). the Gremans had succeeded to point wEere they could claim at least a partial victory. Now that they are reeling under ( stunning defeat on that same western front, officials say the peace drive" may be ex- pected, because something must be done to keep the German people be- hinI their government by the pre- tense that it is willing and anxious to make peace, but that the enemy will be content with nothing short of snnihilation Of the central powers.
 Officials here, therefore, ere prepar- ed for the resumption of efforts at an inconclusive peace, based on the same German plan as practiced at Brest-Litovsk upon the Russians of getting the enemys representatives ! to attend conference without any preceding binding agreement; upon the underlying principles that must gov ern the framing of any peace treaty Warned by the prompt rejection of earlier propositions in that line, the central powers, officials believe, will work with greater caution and put onward their feelers through neutral channels, ill advance of any specific proposals so as to avo:d a flat and un- compromising refusal.
 For this reason there has so far been an absence or any ienuerS through authorized regular agencies, though the officials are rather eX- Fecting some early developments in tlat quarter
 With the purposes and war aims of lie entente allies and America full ly disclosed, it is accepted here that ..e:e can be no thought of discussing peace until the Germ mic powers first icaet the conditions laid down in Pres ident Wilson's Fourth of July ad- dress.

by the French is only question of hours. The entire group of hills be- tween Lassigny and the Osie is being encircled, the Petit Journal declares, and mus! enevitably be evacuated.
 The Germans are reacting on the allied left with certain amount of suc- cess, having had time to get into line divisions rushed frantically from the north It is believed here the fresh troops are being thrown into the fight in desperate endeavor to block the allied advance toward Nesle.
 General von Hutier, who escaped badly damaged, from the Montdidier pocket, is trying now to halt tempo rarily on the RoyeNoyon line. He is strong enough at Noyon end, where his flank rests on the Disc, but should the British succeed in debouchinG from the villages of Lihons, Chilly, Fransart, Fresnoy and Goyencourt in
 
 Hutier'; right at Rove would not only be turned, but he would be cut off and hopelessly lost. The entire line, it is believed here, would then go down.
 Should von Hutier succeed in hold ing on sufficiently to get his guns and materials away, nis next move probably would be back toward the Somme, pivoting on Noyon. He would swing his right back on the line of Nesle and Noyon
 The Germans now are fighting for time to make this possible and the fighting is likely to be ever mol e desperate today than it was Sunday. The Germans so far have doue TO more than check the allied left forth of the Avrs ItI is believed to be cel tain that :Dey will spare nothing III an enleavor to push 1t back.

 Disaster.

Paris, Aug. 12.-There has been desperate hand to hand fighting dur ing the last two days on the Chaulnes- ye-Lassigny-Noyon front. The Ger mans arc defending the ground, inch by inch, intent on saving the bulk of the armies of Generals yon Der Mar witz and yon Hutier, which are re- treating in the direction of Nesle and unfinished but the Germans have Ham.
 The allied pressure has not been di- brought us reserves which had been intended for offensive purposes and have thrown them into the defensive action, temporarily delaying the prog ress of the allies
 Solid occupation by the infantry and artillery in Chaulnes and Rove, would produce a critical situation for the Germans in their retreat. Light elements of cavalry and cyclists all ready have penetrated both points. but permanent occupation by the all lies and their control of the roads leading to Nesle and Ham have not yet becn obtained The objectives undoubtedly will have to be taken by storm.

The boys were given military urain- ing and all were given hours for play. Each evening every one had to attend assembly in the Auditorium where pie lures and other entertainment was provided them. At nine o'clock every one had to be in their rooms and re- tire.

LANDS BEING REvALUED
Survey Is Being Made in Santa
Cruz Valley to Correct the
Assessment Figures.

County Engineer j. w. Larl-
more has been at work this week
on the Santa Cruz surveying
and, classifying for assessment
some of the lands on the valley
ranches. Many of the farms in
that district have rich bottom
lands along the river, and graz
ing lands on the hills farther
back. Manifestly the alluvlal
soil should bear a higher valua-
ton for assessment purposes !;
and Mr.. Larimore's work is to
determine by actual survey the
areas to be classified. The
ranches of Cyrus Marsteller,
John Benedict, C. A. Bankerd, E..
B. Sorrels, H. R. Renshaw are
among those which Mr.. Lari-
more's survey will affect.

queried one "wise guy" who

"Oh, no." returned Mr.. Ma

a big bush up at the house full

"Well, yes," admitted the

Portable Electric Plants.

George B. Marsh, Inc, has
taken the agency for the Alamo
Electric Unit, embracing a gaso-
line engine, a dynamo, a storage
battery and other electric ap-
pliances. The apparatus will
supply "juice" to feed seventy
five 20-watt electric burners,
and will supply power for pump
ing, driving a corn shelter or
other farm machinery, and may
be made useful in other ways.
It is simple in construction,
portable, and can be moved read
lily from one point to another.
For operations about a farm
or mine the Alamo Unit is a
wonderful machine. Without the
dynamo the storage battery will
supply current for three hours
and it is automatic in operation,
so that when the battery is fully
charged the engine and dynamo
will stop, to start again auto
matically when the point of de-
pletion is reached. And it is
started and stopped by pressure
upon a button. A child can op-
crate the Unit. It is wonder
full invention, and the Marsh
corporation will push its sale
and use.
