Reds Fight for Pskov.
London, Feb. pa Petrograd dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany says:
THAT resistance to the German adj
vance is growing is shown by the re-
ports of fighting which continues in
the vicinity of Pskov, 100 miles south
west of Petrograd. This town has
changed hands several times. The
German detachments which first en-
tered Pskov were very small, but they
have since been REINFORCED.
There is a general belief that the
Germans are moving forward hastily
because supplies of ammunition worth
400,0O0000 rubles ($206, 000,00O) are
concentrated in the neighborhOod of
Pskov. The Russians, however, are
taking measures to guard the railway
and are sending more Soviet troops TO
PskOv."
Later advices say that the Soviet
armies are now everywhere resisting
the invaders.
The capture of Pskov by the Ger
mans was announced in the official
statement issued at Berlin.

ing red banners and fighting detach-
ments are being formed continually.

though the military activities have
