US. WILL USE IDLE VESSELS
In Return For Tonnage the American
Government viii Undertake to
License Normal Exports

Washington. Forty Dutch ships, to-
falling approximately 100000 tons, now
idle in Dutch East Indian ports, are
expected to be released to bring SUI
gar, tin, quinine and other commodi-
ties to the United States as the re-
suit of an informal modus viyendi eff
fected by the war trade board through
Charge d'Affaires de Beaufort, Of the
Dutch legation
Tonnage placed at the disposal of
the American government through the
agreement win be sufficient, it was
estimated, to import from 10000 to
100000 tons of sugar and also much
needed quantities Of tin and quinine.
In return for the tonnage the United
States government will undertake to
license normal exports to the islands,
subject only to such limitations OF COM
modities as made necessary by the
war program.
Exports of tin, quinine and other
commodities originating in the islands
will be accepted by the United States
at the normal rate, and all sugar Of
fered will be taken, thereby providing
q market for as much of the 1918 sugar
crop at the prevailing high American
price as the Dutch are able to move.

Washington.Th march Of events
IN Russia, from news received, seems
70 be rapidly assuming the proportions
of rout Of the Bolshevih and Of a
nature to bring dismay to Germany.
With the allied troops rapidly NOV
ing south from Archangel, forces OF
British, French, Japanese and Ameri-
can troops at Vladivostok and operat
ing to the westward, and British
force at Baku, the Czecho-slovaks have
taken new heart in their heroic fight
against the Germans and Austrians.
Late dispatches recorded the ad-
vance Of the allied troops from Arch.
angel to Pabereshskaia, 100 miles to
the south, on the road to Vologda, The
Bolsheviki are retreating and were re.
ported committing every known atroc.
lty upon the civilian population, which
openly has espoused the cause of the
allies. The Bolshevih throughout Rus.
sia are reported not only fleeing the
advancing allies, but the newly arous-
cd Russians, who have learned that
the allies are not beaten on the west
front, as the Germans and Bolsheviki
have been persistently preaching, AS
the real news reaches the great mass
of the people the men are reported
taking up the arms that they carried
home with them when they disbanded
after the debacle of Brest-LitoVsk.
One official Of the state department
declared that, far from being tired OF
fighting and only wanting to get back
10 their homes, as the German propa-
gandists have reported, the Russians
are more anxious than ever to fight
for their freedom, which they thought
they had lost so soon after having
gained it by revolution. One proof Of
this is found in the marching Of armed
bands of peasants upon Petrograd de-
manding food and charging that the
red guard have robbed their farms and
stores of all provisions.

There the enemy is continuing his des-

Great stocks of war material are be-

During the recent fighting a general
commanding a French division, seeing
a battalion hesitate to throw itself
into a dangerous position under heavy
machine gun fire, directed HIS automo-
bile into the center Of this position,
and standing up, shouted to his men:
See, the boches are gone!" His men,
thereupon sprang forward and within

now in France, in training
camps, or under call to 60 into

every indication that an even
larger increment will be sum-

monthly mobilization continue
through the summer and fall
months as the cantonments are
expanded. 1t is expected that
at such a rate the army will

three million within the next IL

ber will be closer to five million
