SUMMARY OF WAR

Pstrograd is being evacuated by
the BolsheVik government. Moscow,
the ancient capital. 10 TO again be-
come the seat Of the Russian gov
ernment, while Petroarad 10 10 be
made a free port.
The population Of Petrosrad 10
quitting il hurriedIy and various gov
srnment departments are removing
further inland away from the German
invader. BolshsVik councils in Mos
cow and the provinces are said TO be
more opposed to the Germans and q
separate peace than those in Pstro-
grad.
Previous reports that the hard
terms Of the German peace treaty,
which take from Russia thousands Of
square miles in Europe and Asia,
would not be accepted by the All
Russian congress of Norkmen's and
soldiers delegates, Indicated also that
the non-pssce elements in the Bolsh
svik ranks were gaining the upper
hand. Evacuation of Petronrad was
mentioned as one Of the measures
the war party proposed.
Refusal Of the peace trssty BY the
congress when IL meets st Moscow
next week probably will cause the
downfall of Lsnine and Trotz<y, if
they do not resign beforehand. A
section Of the Boishevid is said 10
lean toward the social reVolutionists
Of the Left, who have been opposed
to the Lenine regime and inclined TO
be friendly to the entente alliesr al
though favorable to an immediate
general peace.
Apparently Germany unwittinnIy
played into the hands of the All
Russian congress by granting a res
pite before the treaty should be
ratified. Reports from Petrograd
indicate that the congress and allied
will use the intervening
days in recruiting an army and pre-
pairing for a defense against the Ger
mans.
American consul TrsdweII has re-
turned to Pstrograd along with Ray
mond Robins, head of the permanent
Red Cross commission to Russia. Re-
moval Of the government to Moscow
will compel them 20 90
there also.
On the fighting fronts In France
and Italy there has been little aotiVi-
ty except by the artillery. There
have been no further deEails Of the
American rspuiss Of an enemy attack
in Lorraine.

Paris, Tuesday, March 5. -
The Germans persist in declar-

the presence of American troops
on the western front, writes the
correspondent of The Temps,
with the British army in France.
This, he says, may be pretense
or the result of what they have

A. G. Townley, president of

turesque declaration to a North
Dakota farmer at a meeting of
the board of directors of the
North Dakota Farmers union,

tion-an "on-the-soil" farmer
residing in North Dakota since
1874, who will tell the story of
the all night conference in Bis

his now famous declaration.

party, IL is said, advised that the
