SUMMARY OF WAR

Raidina operations and artillery
dueIs are Increasing on the western
front as the time for the beginning
of the spring operations approaches.
Two years ago, after a successful
attack at Souehez the Germans be-
gan their drive on Verdun with
heavy artillery fire on February q,
while last year the British captured
Grand Court, on the somms front,
on February 7, and the Germans two
weeks later retired from the Anere,
the first step in the retreat to the
Hindenbura line.
All official statements report great
artillery activity. The big guns have
been busy around Ypres and before
Cambrai, on the British front, on
the right bank of the Meuse, on the
French front.
There has been lively aerial and
artillery fighting on the American
sector, northwest of Toul. The
skies there have cleared and the
Germans are reported 70 be bonn
harding villages which they had left
for many months.
Entente airmsn have been active
British fiiers on Monday dropped
three tons Of bombs and accounted
for siaht enemy ajrplanes with the
loss of one maehine. On the italian
front Italian and British saviators
have brought down 13 enemy ma
chimes, while the Germans again
have bombed Padua.
In Russia the situation appears
less favorable to the BoIshsViki. A
decree by the Bolshevik government
state and church and
church property has
aroused the opposition Of Arch
bishop Tikhon, the patriarch of all
Russia, who has called upon his fol-
lowers to defend the church.
New military opposition to the
has arisen in the Tar
.ars and Poles. Ensign kryIsnko,
ommander-in- chief of the BoIshe-
fiki armies, Is reported TO have been
arrested by Polish troops who cap
.ured MoohiIey. Tartar forces are
moving on SsbastopoI, the naval
,ase on the Black sea, after having
captured Yalta, in the Crimea. In
<iev the Ukrainians are reported to
rave gained the upper hand.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington. Feb. 6.-President
Wilson took up personally the ship
ping problem last night and at a
conference with Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board, went into the
great problem of procuring tonnage
for the movement of American
troops and supplies overseas.
Every phase Of the question was
discussed, including the progress Of
the government building program,
plans for obtaining allied ships for
transporting soldiers and negotia-
uons with the European neutrals
Tor tonnage to release American
vessels for transatlantic service.
The President was particularly in
terested in the proposal to obtain
additional ships by reducing i'm

realization of the extent to which
Americas troop movement to France
depends on tonnage has come not
only to this government, but to the
allies as well, and ii was indicated
today that one of the chief topics at

war council at Versailles, was that

million tons more.

Petrograd, Saturday, Feb. BE
cause Of the seizure OF the Alexander
Nevslcy Monastery in Petrograd by
the BoIsheviki and other attacks on
church property elsewhere, taken in
conjunction with other circumstances
attending the latest revolution, the
Most Rev. DIR. Tikhon, patriarch or
all Russia, and metropolitan of Mos
COW, issued today at Moscow an
anathema threatening the partici-
pants with communication and
calling on the faithful TO defend
the sacredness of the church.
In connection with the seizure OF
Alexander Nevsky Monastery, which
occurred yesterday by order OF
Madame Kolontay, minister of social
welfare. there was a riot and sharp
struggle. in which the monks fought
the Red Guards. One monk, named
Stipetrov, who was wounded, died
today. -
The church authorities are arrang-
ing a great demonstration in the
Petrograd streets which the Bolsh-
eyiIx leaders are seeking to prevent
on the ground that 1t might bring
a. clash. The church authorities, how
ever, apparently are determined to
carry out their plan.
Approaches Acute stage
The clash OF the church with the
Bolshevik government is approach
ing a. most acute stage. The patriarch,
whose anathema is couched in the
strongest language, also has demand
ed from the military commission at
MohiIey the release OF Archbishop
Gommel and other prelates and an
explanation OF their arrest.
When the patriarch advisers urg-
ed him to revise his anathema so
that II would be less bitter against
the Bolshevilxi, he is reported to have
fatty refused. declaring that he was
ready to carry ii out to the death.
The anathema in part follows:
"The holy orthodox church is pass
ing through a hard time. 1t is an
omen secret that its enemies are
perpetrating prosecutions against
Christ's teachings. They want to
kill Christ's cause, excite hatred and
bring fratricidal war.
After declaring that atrocities
and prosecutions are increasing IN
general and that right and law are
disregarded, the patriarch says II
compels him to address to such out
casts OF mankind our menacing word
of condemnation.
aCome to reasonl" he continues.
Stop your bloody fratricide! This
work is the work Of Satan.
"By the power given to us by God,
we forbid you to participate In
Christ's communion. We excommunt-
cate you, il you still have your
Christian names, IL even only by
birth you belong to the orthodox
church. We pray all the faithful
OF the orthodox church not
to come in contact with such out
casts OF mankind Throw the evil |
from among yourselves"
OF the persecution Of the church, |
the patriarch declares:
THE holy communion which /
bIesses the birth and marriage of !
man. has been declared unnecessary. /
The churches are subjected to /
destruction from bombardment by |
gums or to humiliation. as in the l

An Operation

New York. Feb. g. - Theodore
ROosevelt's condition was favorable
today. The former president, whose
operation for an abscess a few days
ago was made public only last night

Bay home, rested comfortably here
during the last "a hours and it was
predicted this morning that he
would be out within a few days.
Meanwhile he has cancelled speak
ing engagements in Boston, Des

The abscess developed from a
fever which he contracted during
the Spanish American war and be-
coming malignant on his Brazilian
journey a few years ago. has since
troubled him at various times. It
was said today that the operation
would effect a permanent cure.
