NORTH RUSSIA
PEOPLE PANICKY
FEAR GERMANS SOON TAKE
CAPITAL AND EVEN
OLD MOSCOW.
CBy the Associated Press).


Moscow, March l9.-(Tuesday).
The uneasineSs caused by the Seiz-
ure OF Odessa and the gaining by
the central powers OF control OF the
Black sea has intensified the panic
in North Russia, and has Streng-
thened the now general belief that
in d short time the Germans will
advance on Moscow and Pctrograd.
The trans Caucasian constituent
assembly, meeting at Tiflis, has re
fused to ratify the peace treaty with
Germany and has urged an imme-
diatc war on Germany.
The Germans explanation that
they are not fighting Russia when
they assist Independent Ukraine 10
defeat bolsheyik forces is hooted in
the Russian press generally, which
contends that Germany's peace
treaty with Ukraine is only a tiimsy
preteNt to diSmember Russia.
Trotzky Is Belligerent,
Leon Trotzky has arrived in Mos
COW from Petrograd and announces
he will remain here TO assume the
duties OF minister OF war ii there Is

deicnses today reviewed four regi-
mentS OF volunteers who declared
unequivocally for war. Many eX-
perienccd army officers have now

their politics.
Indications point to the adoption
of rigid discipline among the new
forces and the restoration OF train
ed officers to their commands. The
bolshcvik leaders insist that the
new organizations must be purely
voluntary.
Another Enemy Trick.
Reports from northern Russia say
{hat the Corelia district in which
Kola, the only ice-free port on the
Arctic shore is located, has asked
Finland to annex it. This is regard
ed as part of the German plan to
help the Finnish government forces
to isolate Russia from the Baltic !
and Arctic.
The evacuation OF Petrograd CON
tinues, and the government bureaus
are being transferred to Moscow,
Nizhni-N Novgorod and Perm as rap
idly as the disabled railways will
permit. The trains are under heavy
guard, and have to force their way
along railway lines crowded with
soldiers returning from the front
and refugees fleeing before the
German advance.

ample. He was one OF the most
democratic OF men; yet perhaps it
was not given to many TO know him
intimately, because he was so many
sided in his nature that no iutamacy,
even extending into years, could
warrant one in saying that he knew
the Captain intimately. Then again,
there was that dignity and chiyalry
about his conduct that, even with
his democracy prevented one from
entirely penetrating his closest
thoughts. Every day brought forth
some new and unique and quaint
piece OF conduct applicable to the
particular thing in hand. Every
day-yes, every minute-preSented
some new application OF philosophy
10 the daily task.
His quaint manner and aphor-
isms, drawn from his own wide eX-
perience in the varied affairs OF lie,
were source OF continual unilag
ging interest to those whose good
fortune it was to be with him
great deal. In truth, he was one
man in a thousand. The elements
were 50 mixed in him that one and

lie was no hypocrite. The shams
and camOuflage OF lie presented no

circle and community where he
moved he was leader In fact. He
sat on a great many juries, and he
was alw-ys foreman. He generally
carried the other eleven men to his
way of thinking.
lie was a man Of action, rather
than words. Get the thing done.
Being a military man, both by ma
ture and experience, he recognized
this cardinal fact above all others.
Strike quickly, but thoroughly. Ey-
erything about him, which he at
tempted to have anything to do with |
excmplified this principle. His gar
den was always well and thorough !

were always pruned right and on |
time. All were perfect examples OF |
thoroughnesS and neatness and pre-
parednesS. He knew how to kill |
hogs and dress and cure the meat |
to the minuteSt detail. In litera-
ture he was scholarly. In Lat
in it was almost daily matter for
us to ask him to give the derivation

Istic OF thoroughness was true of all
the things that he knew how to do.
lie knew how to do them to the
minutest detail. And as 4 soldier,
doubt not he knew how to be 4

One of the pretty features of the
English landscape will undergo dras-
tic changes as result of the great
agricultural program this year. Hedge
rows In many places will have to go
down and thousands Of trees which
have wide-spreading roots must be re-

lived by many that the result after
the war will be the adoption of the
American style of landscape. with

England from America shortly before

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

\ An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need Of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.,
