London, Feb. 15.-Germany has re-
solved to renew military activities
against northern Russia. This decis.
ion is said to have been reached at q
conference at imperial headquarters,
special dispatches from Holland say.
The conference was attended by
Emperor William, Chancellor Won
Hertling, Field Marshal Won linden
burg, General Won Ludendorff, Foreign
Secretary Won Kuehlmann, and others.
The mo war, but no peace" plan of
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, was repected at the confer
ence, according to the Amsterdam cor.
respondent of the Daily Express, and
as Trotzky does not want peace he
will get war.

A dispatch to the Daily News from

automatically ended the armistice.

This, according to the correspond.

the Germans will Immediately try to-
reach Petrograd, but more probably
that they will support the, UkraineB

says, are carrying on an active prop
aganda in the Ukraine, for the pur::
pose Of suggesting to the Rada that
the new state is endangered, by the
Bolsheyiki. 1t is declared that this is
all part Of Germany's scheme for
breaking up the Russian empire with

1t is certain that the ,sBolsheviki

central powers do not intend to allow

fruits Of their lately concluded peace.
The newspaper adds that it probably
had been decided at the conference at

PEACE REFUSED.

Peace on German terms having been
refused by the Bolsheviki government,
Germany will again take up military
operations against northern Russia.
This resolution is reported to have
Deen reached at a conference at i'm
perial headquarters between Emperor
William and military leaders. Petro.
grad probably will be the objective Of
the new invasion. 1t is indicated in
Vienna dispatches that the central
powers made peace with the Ukraine
in order to Offset their diplomatic de-
feat at the hands of Trotzky. 1t Is
reported that Germany will support
the Ukraine against the Bolshevfki.
One German newspaper says that the
Bolsheviki are moving against the
Ukraine and there is little doubt that
the Ukraine will use all means to pro.
tect the food supplies they have By
aiding the Ukraine, Germany probably
would not have to bring back from
the western front more than few OF
the divisions moved there recently
from the east. .E s 4
Canadian Troops Successful.
On the northern end of the western
front Canadian troops again have
been successful in raid into the Ger.
man lines. The latest incursion netted
few prisoners and few machine
guns. French troops continue their
raids in Champagne and have brought
back prisoners from the German
trenches. 49,
East of Rheims, French and British
artillerymen are engaging the Ger
mans in violent exchanges. South OF
La Doromise, French batteries dis
persed a strong concentration OF Ger

On the Italian 'front.' and especially
between Lake Garde and the Pfave,
the artillery activity has increased,
hut the infantry operations have been
confined to small raids.
RUMANIA NEXT.
Amsterdam, Feb. 15.-Berlin news
papers of Thursday evening intimate
that peace negotiations with Rumania

although no official communication

Street Cleaning Notes

The street cleaning will go on
for another week Lordsburg is
large and it takes time to do the
work well. There are still some
private homes and vacant lots
uncleaned. In some of these
cases the owners have made do
nations for the hauling away of
the trash but have neglected to
rake it up and place it on the
outside where Mr.. Jones' men
can get to it. We urge that you
do so at once, while the cleaning
is going on, and before the sum-
mer rains set in. There is going
to be a lineup in Lordsburg---
get on the clean side. At the
end of the cleanup campaign q
committee will be appointed tc
go over the town and inspect the
work done. Don't let your name
go down as one who has not
cleaned up.

THRIFT AND WAR
SAVINGS CAMPAIGN

Delaware's three counties are being
thoroughly organized for the Thrift
and War-Savings campaign through
which the government hopes to secure
for war purposes. $2,000,O00,OOO- and
at the same time teach lessons OF
thrift. which will be of vastly more
benefit to the lenders of the money
than the money itself will be to the
government.
This money is needed by the govern
ment only for what it will purchase
in goods and services. To get the
goods it will be necessary for the
American people to lessen their daily
demands for luxuries so that the
cOuntry's productive capacity may be
devoted more largely to supplying the
needs OF our armies.
The country has entered upon a war
which must be won. The money to
equip our fighting forces for victory
must be provided by the people. In
order to provide it and lend it to the
government, we must save.
1t is easier to save in small
amounts than it is to save big sums.
To enable everybody within the land
to save. a plan has been devised
whereby you can begin with twenty
five cents and paste it on a Thrift
Card. Such Thrift Card is furnish
ed you when you buy a Thrift Stamp.
It has spaces for is such stamps.
AS soon as your Thrift Card is
filled, you can acquire War Savings
Stamp. Then your money begins to
earn interest at the rate of per cent
compounded quarterly. You can al
so obtain same by outright purchase
for cash. The price Of these War
Savings Stamps varies, depending on
the time when you acquire them.
During January. 1918, It is Four Dol
lars and twelve cents, after that time
II increases one cent each month,
during the year 1913.
The difference between your Thrift
Card which represents $4.0O and the
price OF a War Savings Stamp, you
pay In cash. That means If you ac-
