WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Feb. 3.-American troops now
are occupying a sector Of the Lorraine
front in France. This announcement is
permitted by the military censor.
The correspondents permanently ac-
credited to the American army have
been informed that they may proceed
TO virtually any point within the zone
Of fire, except the trenches, without cs-
cort and without special permission
Arrangements were made to-day
whereby newspaper men may proceed
TO any brigade headquarters few kilo-
metres behind the trenches after first
reporting their presence within the
zone to the headquarters Of the divi-
s'on Of which the brigade is part.
Unless there is some occurrence
which makes it inadvisablc in the opin-
ION OF the brigade commander for COR
respondents to move nearer the front,
they may walk from his hcadqua rtcrs
TO rcglmcntal headquarters behind the
lines.
Since all roads mcdiately behind
inc front are within easy German gun
range and under German observation,
not more than two correspondents may
move forward together. They must
wear gas masks in alert position and
hcsmets. Newspaper men must obtain
special permission to visit the trenches.
eno must be accompanied by an escort
ing officer
The fact that American troops were
IN the trenches in lorraine was re-
veaied by the German War Office three
months ago. At that time, according
20 an official German announcement.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-,cbrnary 4 will
be fateful day in the worlds history.
NO one can tell what morrow's de-
velopmen.s in Germany may bring
, forth.
over the weekend the iron hand
has taken strong grip on the strike
situation, and a place in front Of the
.iring squad awaits all strikers who re-
fuse 10 return to work i'll the factories
under government control.
Whether the hatred of war condi-
tons and the loathing Of iron disc;p-
line which have driven them from one
sacrifice to another have reached a point
where the masses arc ready to disrc-
gard the extreme threats of the mill
tarlsts VIII be determined Tomorrow
Workers Face Supreme Test
Hundreds of thousands of German
men and women have shown in the last
week that they have lost faith in the
mllitarists, that they no longer believe
the promises Of their rulers, that they
consider pro!ongation of the war poor
business-and now they must decide
whether to return to work or face the
penalty that awaits spies and traitors
The latest news from Germany tells
OF rioting and exciting scenes in tho
woriung class sections of Berlin, with
the arrest of many men and women in
various parts of the city.

on Saturday, but there are no reports
o. clashes between the military and the
workers.. AL the prominent Socialist
deputies have tried to get the f:ovcrn-
ment to meet the representatives of the
strikers IN conference, but the govern
ment has refused to treat with them in
any way and the militarists have salts
ned themselves with setting up a gen.
eral court-martial and placing the
Mho.e civil population in the same posi-
lion as the soldiers in the iield.
That the strikers will have the cour-
age to accept thc challenge of the mill
tarlstS seems extremely doubtful. Ger
many IS vel! ordered government, not
like the disordcred Russia of a wear
back. and Hindcnburg and his Prussian
inllltarIsts arc something far removed
from Protopopof and the weak-kneed
Gar. The possibility OF repetition in
St.'ii VI VIC sSeilcS LHdl VISITED Petro-
grad last spring is too remote to con-
sider.
If the inilitarists succeed, as they
most assuredly will. in holding the up
per hand. their victory viii be earned
without cost. The masses. gagged and
marched to work at the point Of the
Dayonet. viii hold that respect and low
atty for the militarsts that they
showed when they followed them into
war forty-two months back.
But the question remains, Can the
German miiitarists prepare their next
campaigns with the confidence they
showed in the first, or even in the third
year OF the war? Can you force morale
INTO an army or into a nation by iron
discipline alone?

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Feb. "a German barrare
fire at sundoNn last night opened the
heaviest bombardment of many davs
along the American sector. the Amcri-
can artillery replying shell for she'll as
the firing Of the heavy guns spread
along several kilometres Of front.
Two Americans were killed and nine
wounded during the bombardmcnt and
one suffered shell shock
1t was ascertained to-day that the
American sunncrs wrecked several Of
the enemy dupouts and so badly dam
aged the first line positions that at one
point the Germans were unable to oc-
cupy them Sunday.
When the bombardment had reached
its greatest intensity the Germans sud
dculy concentrated their fire at two
points, throwing about $50 shells into
town in which the headquarters Of a
certain regiment are located and which
heretofore had been immune to enemy
fire.
After the bombardment a wounded
American soldier was discovered in a
position where it was necessary to
carry him over trench top to field
dressing station. A medical corps man
displayed the red cross, and the Ger
mans ceased firing until the man was
removed
Early in the day an American was
wounded b. a sniper
The whole American sector is re-
sounding with the boom Of guns. Air
men became exceedingly active along
the American front on Saturday. En-
cmy snipcrs wounded two Americans
slightly carly yesterday morning.
a shift of the wind yesterday
cleared away the mist which has him
dered aerial operations and other ac-
,iyities for several days A number Of
battles in the air were fought by pa
trolling planes early yesterday after
noon. In one instance the French avia-
tors defeated an attempt Of German
nicrs to cross behind the American
trenches
The artillery and snipers also have
become increasingly active. American
7os are harassing traffic behind the
enemy trenches. The Germans are con-
fning their fire largely to the Amcri
can trenches.
Throughout Friday night machine
guns ratified ceaselessly from German
positions.
The French commander Of sausage
balloon squadron, who was an artillery
officer at Verdun during the heaviest
lighting and also participated in the
!, Scmme offensive, declared to-day that
the work Of certain American batteries
at the front IS almost perfect" He
was particularly pleased with the work
done by American guns in firing on a
German position in a wood, which he
observed from balloon.

Bolsheviki Seek to Dust the
Ukrainian and Finnish
Delegates

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 3.-The German
report of Fridays session of the peace
delegations at Brest-Litovsk says il
was occupied mainly with discussion
of the standing Of the Ukrainian and
Finnish delegates. The Bolsheviki con-
tend they have displaced the former
governments in Finland and Ukraine.
The delegates who represented
Ukraine at the former sessions insisted
they had been already acknowledged
BY Leon Trotzky and declined to re-
tire.
Flnland's lenlpotentiaries issued a
declaration denying that the Finnish
government had been overthrown and
insisting that the revolutionaries had
succeeded merely in assuming power
temporarily By forciblc means in a
small section of Southern Finland. The
delegates contcnded that they repre-
scntcd the rightful Finnish government
and possessed authority to represent
the country in the negotiations.
Premier Radoslavoif of Bulgaria has
arrived at Brest-Llrovsk for the con-
tinuation Of the peace conference, ac-
cordlng to dispatch from Vienna
A dispatch from Sofia to the "Vos-
slsche Zeitung," Of Berlin, says strong
protests have been made in the Bull
garlan Parliament against the silence
regarding Bulgaria's war aims, which
have marked recent German and Aus
trlan pronouncements. Premier Rado-
slavoA, speaking in the Chamber Of
Deputies. attributed the omission to
urgent business which Germany and
Austria Hungary had in their own
countries"
In the debate which followed it was
stated that the Bulgarian people were
astonished and disappointed at the
omission and demanded unequivocal en-
lightenment in regard to the attitude
of Germany and Austria. NJ Malinoif,
leader of the Democratic party, as
serted that the people would not be
content until Bulgaria's war aims re-
celved the formal approval of the Ger
man Reichstag. N. Todorotf, another
Of the party leaders. said the Austro-
German attitude was "incomprehensib bic
and unhattering."
A Copenhagen dispatch under yes
terday's date reports Leon Trotzky, in
iie!singfors, making speeches to aid
the Bolshevik rebellion against the
Finnish government.
