TROTZKY MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT

Petrograd. Friday, March S.-Leon
1rotzky, IN an address at a meeting
OF the Maximalist party today, an
nounced that he had resigned. as COM
mlssary for foreign affairs.
AS the Bolshevik foreign minister.
leon ! lrozky, whose real name is
i1eber Rraunstein. was the most inn
portant member of the Revolutionary
government formed after the over
throw OF kerensky last November. al
though Nikolai I-enine. as premier.
was the nominal head of the govern
ment; Trotzky virtually controlled
hussta's destiny up to the second
peace conference at Brest-Litovsk.
1t was Trotzky who made public
the text of secret documents az
changed between former Russian gov
ernments and foreign governments
and 1t was he who proposed the
armistice to the Central powers early
IN December. which eventually led to
the abortive conference at Brest-
Litovsk. The negotiations were dis
rupted in mid-February and HOSTILE
submitted partial peace terms but
Irotzky took no part in the confer
ences.
Trozkys resignation is the second
among the Russian leaders forecast
by Berlin. On February 25 Berlin re-
ported that Ensign Krylenko. COM
mander Of the Russian armies, had
been superseded. A dispatch received
in London Thursday said kvlenko
with the council Of peoples commits
saries. Trotzkys resignation was
forecast by Berlin last Tuesday. The
Withdrawals of Trotzky and Krylenko
leave Lenine as the survivor Of the
Bolshevik ruling rriumvirate.
Having escaped from Siberia, where
he was sent for political offensee.
Trotzky was an exile at the outbreak
Of the war. He was expelled from
Europe for preaching peace and ar
rived in New York on January IA,
1917. but returned to Russia last
April. after the overthrow of the inn

terms expired on July /. this year,
have been reappoInred for two-year
terms, by the state board Of control,
1t was announced today. They are:
DR.. w. NJ Hotchkiss, superinten-

sane, jamestown.
DR.. A. r. T. Wylie, superintendent
of the state institute for the feeble

DR.. J. G. Lamont, superintendent Of
the tuberculosis sanitarium, do not
expire till May 1, 1919.
The reappointment OF DR.. Hotch-
kiss as head of the asylum for the
insane is one Of the most interesting
developments, inasmuch as the asy-
lum superintendent was the center
Of an intensely hot fight several
years ago. A candidate was brought
into the field against DR.. Hotchkiss,
by the O. J. Seller element in James,
town, but the board, now controlled
by the Nonpartisans, elected to re-
turn DR.. Hotchkiss.

PAVING WAY FOR
TALK OF PEACE
Baron Burian's Note Is So
Viewed In Washing
ton Circles

Washington, July 17-There Is
only one opinion in official circles
here as to the note addressed by
Baron Won Burian, the Austro- Hun
garian foreign minister, to the Aus
trian and Hungarian premiers, upon
the subject of peace. That Is that
this evidently carefully framed COM
munication was designed to pre-
pare the way for peace negotiations
Immediately after the successful
conclusion Of the present great Ger
man drive against the entente forces
along the Marine and east Of Rheims.
In the assurance that this drive
would be successful, If not in open
ing the road to Paris, at least in
flicting great losses on the enemy,
the Central Powers, 1t is believed,
felt that in their panic and despera-
ton the Entente Powers would be
prepared to discuss peace.
Always, it has been noticed, the
peace overtures emanating from the
Central powers have been confided
to the cleverer and smoother hands
of Austrian diplomats, where the
military accomplishments Of the
central powers were not so pro-
nounced in value as to warrant the
rougher and more arrogant dicta-
tions Of the German general staff.

The North Dakota Anti Tuber-

agricultural building in charge Of
Mrs. J. E. Stevens, assisted by her
daughter, Miss Maud Stevens.
The main purpose Of the display
is to show how a majority Of the
cases Of the white plague could be
avoided, If people would observe the
simple health. rules that the pioneers
did. The trite saying, "Air. care and
fare" sums up in a few words the
principal points that are to be OBJ
served in treating this disease as
taught by the exhibit. Posters, show
ing the necessity Of beginning with
the smallest children, If they are to
enjoy the health to which they are
entitled, teaching them the rules Of
sanitation and health are included
in the display. A series Of posters
depicting the importance Of the care
of the teeth, and showing the proper
and improper way Of cleaning them
is also a part Of the exhibit. Litera-
'ture and information regarding the
work is distributed.

SUMMARY OF THE war
CONTINUED from page H.

tain of Rheims, which lies between
the Marine and Rheims.
Formidable attempts by the Ger
mans to break the main French line
at Prunay, about eight miles east of
Rheims, have been broken up by the
stubborn resistance Of the French
who hold a strong line along the
Vesle river.
UNABLE TO ADVANCE.
In the region Of Tahurs and eros"
mes, west of the Argonne forest, the
Germans have been unable to ad-
vance. Repeated attacks there have
been repused with heavy losses by
Monday the Germans captured
1900 prisoners, according TO Berlin.
The first lengthy official statement
on the new offensive did not mention
any decided gains and the statement
of Tuesday night showed that the
Allied resistance was still strong, If
not stronger. The latest German re-
port says that the Allies delivered
counter attacks on the Marine, that
southwest of Rheims and that the
situation is unchanged east Of
Aerial fighting has been intense.
French airmen have accounted for IL
German machines and nine balloons,
besides destroying five bridges
across the Marine. Berlin claims The
destruction of 81 airpIanes and four
balloons.
West Of Chateau Thierry American
troops around Vaux have repulsed a
strong German local attack. After
the first setback the enemy made no
other attempts to penetrate the
American positions.
On the italian mountain front near
Monte Grappa, Italian troops have
gained ground and have taken nearly
100 prisoners. Vienna says all attacks
were repulsed. The French advance
up the DevoIi valley in eastern Al
banIa continues and three more viii
lagos have been taken from the Aus
TRANS.
Premier Lenine, ae head Of the
Russian government, is reported
about ready 20 break off diplomatic
relations with Great Britain and
other countries, which have armed
forces on the Thurman coast. Aneri.
can troops have been reported there
in aiding the British in protecting
the ports along the coast and the
Thurman railway. The local popuIa-
tion has welcomed the Allied troops.
