GERMANS ADVANCING ON MOSCOW

 GOVERNMENT PREPARES TO MOVE
Associated Press)

MOSCOW, Mar 22.-The Russian government is alarmed the attitude of the Germans and is holding itself in readiness to Moscow any moment De spite the signing of the Teuton peace and the ra cation of this action by the soviet congress- the Germans continue their advance in Russia without any apparent enon of calling any halt until all objectives have been obtained.
 The ratification of the peace terms by the soviet has only served to change the German objective from Petrogra to Moscow. Columns of German soldiers are moving or this city from three directions One army is proceeding from the west and will strike main line of the Pet rograd-Moscow railway and be in easy reach of the city The second force approaching by steady degrees fro
 the south while the third is swinging around the south east of the city to approach it from the rear.
 The continued invasion of Russia by the Teutons is pro- ducing reaction against the Bolshevk government and sentiment IS slowly growing which may force this element from power It is believed that the evacuation of Moscow will be forced within few days. The government is s uncertain where it will to- but Nizhni Novogorod and Sarato the places between which the choice lies
 War Minister Trozky is pressing his proposal to re organize the Russian forces large scale and is daily gaining supporters in the soviet.

REVOLT BREAKS
 IN NICARAGUA
(Associated p-easl


 SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua Mar. 22.-Serious fighting is reported to be progressing between govern. ment forces and strong band of revolutionists near the Panama iron. tier. The government forces are said to have been victorious in the first engagement.
 Rogelio Fernandez Guell, the lead. CT of the revolutionists, and four as- sociates are reported to have been killed in the battle. Guell was the editor of pro-German newspaper which was suppressed by the gov ernment last month when the revo- lutionists made an unsuccessful at tempt to start an uprising.
 It Is believed that German agents furnished the money and arms which placed the revolutionists in the field. It is possible that it was planned to cross the border into Panama and make an effort to destroy the Panama canal. Panamanian authori- ties are guarding the border closely, while the canal authorities are also alive to the efforts of the Germans to cause trouble in this country.

TEUTONS BEGIN ACTIVITIES IN
 ITALIAN FIELD
(AssOciated Press,

 ROME, Mar. -Oficial-Yester- day the fighting along the Italian front took on an increased vigor. and number of assaults were made by the enemy at several points. All the attacks were repulsed by the Italians.
 The activity on this front began simultaneously with the operations on the western front. It is apparently the Teuton plan to keep the allies in all sections occupied in order to pre-. vent the transfer of troops from any point to other sections which may be threatened.
 The Italian war once has implicit confidence in the ability of the Itali- ans to hold their present positions against any force the invaders are able to muster. It is expected that the Italians will take the offensive as soon as spring is far enough ad- vanced to make movement of troops and artillery more easy.
