The War Situation

The allies have the Teutons held
at bay practically along the entire
fighting trout The door die spirit
of the Hun seems to lack the ten
aciousness of days gone by. Paris
seems safer now than in several
weeks. The lines of the allies, thru
the coming of Americans, are being
stiffened each day while the fighting
spirit of the Teutons is not at such
a high pitch owing to the great
slaughter of their men and the slow
progress made
The Austrians have failed CON-
pletely to rout the Italians who have
on the other hand exacted a heavy
toll from the Austrians in dead and
wounded. The Austrians are des-
perate over the bread situation and
matters are rapidly approaching the
breaking point. Peace is urged net
withstanding the great obstacles"
The situation today looks good tor
the allied cause.

Save the Babies

Let us save the babies" is a very
timely appeal and just as important
as many other great tasks before
us. Too many babies die through
neglect, and it's nothing short of
crime. Guilford county is trying to
save the over 100 babies who die
annually in the county that could
have been prevented. Mrs. Fred P.
Ingram is chairman of the move
ment in High Point Join hands in
the cause of the babies.

JAPAN DIRECTS INQUIRY
 TO THE ENTENTE POWERS
About Joint Military Operations in
 Siberia to Save Supplies.

Washington, Feb. -27.-Japan has di- rected Inquiries to the entente powers and the United States government to test their feelings towards proposal 10 institute Joint military operations in Siberia to save the vast quantities Of war supplies stored at Vladivostok and along the Siberian railroad. Crit icism at home of the failure of Japan to play larger part in the war is said to have been influential in bring ing about the negotiations.
 Officials here refuse to discuss this subject for publication, but it is un- derstood that so far as America is con cerned the proposition when first oroached was not wholly acceptable, though the exchanges on the subject, which are still in progress, may result in modifying the governments atti- tude. -
 Accommodating at Vladivostok are military supplies of all kinds, much or American manufacture, and even greater quantities of Japanese origin which were delivered long before the Bolsheviki took possession of the Rus sian government. The Stevens com mission of American engineers made extraordinary efforts to improve the facilities of the Siberian railroad SC that these stores could be transported westward for the use of the Russian army on the German and Austrian fronts. A good deal of accumulation was removed, but great quantities re. main on the docks and in warehouses and even in the open both at Vladi. vostok and at points westerly on tn, railroad.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. s7.-Curtail- ment of deliveries, friendly co-opera- ton and the sinking of trade rivalriss as a means of conserving man power are urged by Governor Holcomb upon the retail merchants of the state in a statement made, public tonight. The man power of the country, he says, will be strained to the uttermost be- fore the war reaches a conclusion and 1t is stealing from civilization to waste the services of man at this hour when shipbuilding, munitions plants, railroads, farms, armies and nayies are calling for men.
 The recommendations, the governor says, are made by the council of na- tional defense through the state coun- cil of defense, which latter organiza ton proposes through it's committed on commercial economy to reduce tt waste of man power by restricting deliveries to one a day over a given route, eliminating special deliveries organization of cooperative delivery eliminating return of c. o. d. purchases and requesting the purchasing public to- carry its own parcels.

hopeful of the people saw in the ac- ceptance, in principle, Of the four points enunciated by President Wilson as the basis for peace negotiations.
 Arthur J. BalfoUr, the British sec retary for foreign affairs, sounded the keynote of the entente allies when, speaking at London, he said that, un- til German militarism was thing of the past and there came into exist ence a court armed with executive powers making the weak nations as safe as the strong, the war must go on. He characterized Won Hertling' S attitude toward Belgium as unsatis- factory and insisted that German prac- tice does not coincide with President Wilson's propositions.
 Phillip Scheidemann, the German socialist leader, has voiced the protest of his party to the peace that is being forced on Russia. In. debate in the reichstag he has said that Germany must negotiate peace by under standing and that the independence of Belgium must be secured. He says that the F1emings and Walloons must settle their own differences.
 While the German imperial govern ment is trying to convince the world of it's disinterestedness in the future Of Russia. the advance of the. Teuton armies toward Petrograd still goes on It now appears that there will be no armisticc on the Russian front until peace is finally consummated. In spite of the claim by the Bolshevik gov ernment that the Russians were fight ing hard for the city of Pskov, the Germans have pushed far to the east : ward of that town. It is rumored that inc Teutons have reached the city ot Luga, midway between Psl1ov and Pe- trograd. Borisoff, 50 miles northeast 'of Minsk, has been captured by the Germans. The German official report says that the Teutor troops in Uk- raine have reached Corostislieff, east of Zhitornir. which brings the invaders within fifty miles of Kiev The Rus sian troops have refused to fight and those who have not abjectly surren- dered are retreatillg in disorderly mob toward the capital If there is any resistance to the German invasion it must come from the peasants
 American troops have been subject. ed to a heavy bombardment of gas shells from German batteries Three Americans are reported to have died from the effects of gas and nine others are said to have suffered severely.
