SENT TO WESTERN FRONT.
Bulgarian and Turkish Troops Reported
Moved There.

! Washington ID. O.. Feb 20.--lt devel
oped yesterday that the officials here arc
awaiting with the keenest interest con.
! firmation of reports that Turkish and
Bulgarian troops in large numbers are
being sent into Belgium. 1t may be stat
ed on authority that such movement
would have the gravest consequence so
far as America is concerned and that it
would be regarded as iustifying an i'm
mediate declaration of the existence of a
state of war between America and Tur-
key and Bulgaria.
Announcement of the purpose of the
Bolsheviki government of Russia to sign
"a peace treaty based upon the humiliat
ing conditions imposed by the Germans,
caused no surprise in official circles here,
in view of the failure of the attempt of
the Russians to influence the German So
cialists to prevent an attack on an unre-
sisting people.
An irresistible demand of the great
masses Of the Russian people for peace
had brought about the downfall in turn
of three successive governments that of
Gar Nicholas, that of Prince Lvosk, and
that of kerensky. Lenine and Trotzky,
according to the official understanding
here. were fully aware that their regime
would share the same fate if they failed
to respond to the overwhelming demand

4. III. HIRSCH PUT
UNDER 1000 BAIL
Man Who Gives Barre as Residence Held
on Charge of Failure to Register and
There May Be Another Charge.

Arthur Hamilton Hirsch, who gives
Barre as his residence, was committed to
the county Jail this morning for want
of $1,000 bail, on the charge of having
failed to register last June. He was
brought before United States Commits
sioner II. c. Shurtleff this morning and
waived examination. He was then bound
over to the next term of United States
district court and, being unable to fur
nish the above bail, went to jail.
Deputy L. S. Marshal Laekey has been
working on the case for some time and
this morning he obtained information
which may develop into changing of
the charge. Indications look as though
the man, who gave his name as Arthur
Hamilton while employed in North Fays-
ton, has been spreading German propa-
ganda. He is OF German parentage.
That he had chance to register last
year is thought certain. The law rela-
tive TO his registering now is being
looked up. which may change the disposi,
tion of the case. Mr. Lackey notified
Constable Alton Farr of Waitsfeld rela-
tive to the man some days since and he
has been under observation since that
time When he started to leave the lum.
Der camp Tuesday he was arrested.

GERMANS HOPE
FOR BIC VICTORY
BY SHOCK TROOPS
Masses of Picked Men, Especially
Trained, Are Being Placed for
Drive on the Western Front
Says Baker.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 20.-After ex
tensive preparations, silently and sys
tematically carried on, it is apparent
that both the Germans and the allies are
ready for the long expected offensive in
west, Secretary of War Baker says in his
review of the military operations for
the week ending Feb. l6.
The review says: According to nd
vices received. the German general staff
hoped that by massing a large number
of picked shock battalions, which have
been intensively trained, they may de-
liver a crushing blow. The bulk of the
German forces are now assembled in the
west; but a large number of these units
are wholly unframed in the method of
western front warfare, which differs rad
ically from that conducted along the 9th
er fronts.
"A concentration of an important
body of German cavalry in the vicinity
of Riga is noted and it is believed the
Germans may find it expedient to ad-
vance on Petrograd. II is difficult to
determine the exact status of affairs in
southwestern Russia. The Russian con
tingents are evacuating the Armenian
centers south of the Black sea which
are being re-oecupied by Turkish detaeh
ments,"

IRELAND WILL GAIN.
Aircraft Factories and Shipyards to Be
Built There.

Dublin, Feb. 20.-Thc development OF
aircraft factories and shipyards in Ire
land this spring is expected to open up a
new industrial era in many sections Of
the country. Lack of facilities for tach-
ncal training in the south of ireland has
been a long standing problem which tie
new yards and factories will help 20
solve.
For the present, the business o. air
plane manufacture will be carried on in
existing buildings that are being placed
at the disposal of the government, hut
as rapidly as possible new factories of
the most up-to-date type will he e.ected.
The development is not intended to be
merely of temporary character.
Flight stations and training depots
which are being erected in various parts
of the island are permanent structures,
as it is believed that Ireland from its
geographical position will have an i'm
portant share in the postwar CONNER
cal development of aviation. 1t viii be
the gateway for every attempt at trans
Atlantic flight attempts which are ex-
pected to be fostered and encouraged by
the governments of both the United
States and Great Britain.
Shipbuilding viii center in Dublin and
Cork. Efforts are being made to secure
a national shipyard for Dublin. which
viii also be the site of the largest of the
aircraft factories, employing 1000 skilled
men and 1000 girls. The minimum wage
paid to women workers in the aircraft
factories, it is announced. will be $3.50
a week, which is about three times the
average wage paid to women at present,
except in munition works.

WAS AMERICAS PROPOSAL
For Strong Central Control of Allied
Military Operations.

London, Feb. 20--It was America Z;
proposal for a strong central control oi
all the allied military operations in the
west that the supreme war council oi
England. France. Italy and the United
States adopted at Versailles and resulted
in Gen. Sir William Robertson's retire
ment as the British chief OF staff.
This fact was disclosed by Premier
Lloyd George yesterday when he made
in the House of Commons his eagerly
awaited statement regarding the recent
army changes.
The American representatives at the
Versailles war council declared with ir.
resistibe power and logic" for the plan
for expansion of the supreme council 5
power, the premier said.
If he should read the document sub
nitted by the Americans, said Mr.. Lloyd
George. there would be no need to make
speech
The ease is presented with irresistible
power and logic he added What hap
pened? We altered the proposal here
and there. The.e was good deal of
discussion, which took some hours. There
was not single dissentient voice so far
as the plan was concerned.
Il hesitated for some time, y said the
premier in referring to the american rep
resentations, whether | should not read
in the House of Commons the very CO.
gent document submitted by the Amer
lean delegation which put the case for
the present proposal
at is one of the ablest documents ever
submitted to a military conference. The
only reason why | do not read it TO the
