French Troops

Force Peace.
q. n. S. Summary

A strong element of mystery en-
tered the peace situation today when
a report came out of Petrograd that
negotiations between the Bolsheviki
and the central powers had been
broken off because of Germany's re-
fusal to withdraw troops from occu-
pied Russian territory
How much cTedence to be attached
TO the report is matter of doubt.
In addition to the rumOred break
off of the peace negotiations, it is re-
ported that Russia is preparing to de-
fend her western front against any
Teutonic attacks.
Fighting between the Red Guard
and the anti-BolsheviK forces in the
interior of Russia is growing in both
extent and fury
Many persons have been killed in
battle between the rival armies at
SemOlensk while street fighting is
reported to have broken out in the
Odessa section. The Ukrainians have
been reinforced and are attacking the
Bolsheviki forces in great numbers.
Minor operations were reported from
the battle fronts the most important
of which took place near Mericourt.
in France. Three columns of German
troops tried to raid a British trench,
but were met in No Mans Land by
the British and a pitched battle en-
sued in which the Germans were driv-
en- off.
In northern Italy intense cold and
deep snow is holding up all movements
and the possibility exists that the Aus
tro-German invaders may be unable
to renew their offensive.

EACLES' FEET
 ARE BURNED
 BY OFFICERS Some Interesting Figures Given Out by Territorial Office About the
 Counties. WOLVES ARE KILLED Bounty Been Paid Out on 165, but Great Ameri- can Eagle Is Suf-
 fering Most.
WOLVES ARE KILLED

Out of the $10,000 appropriated by the Territorial Legislature in 1917 for the payment on bounties on wolves, $2,500 has already been paid out. This represents 165 wolves killed, the bounty being $1550 each.
 We burn enough eagles feet around this office to keep the town warm," said E. c. Harland, assistant in the office of MT. Smith. The bounties paid out for eagles so far amount to about $1,700, which at 50 cents an eagle, represent about 3,400 birds. The money goes principally to miners and fishermen who kill the eagles for the sport and bring in the feet for bounty. The 50 cents merely pays for the ammunition and the trouble taken in killing the birds MT Harland said that the season has just begun and that when the men begin to return from their fishing trips and from the mines about here the eagles feet will be turned into the Treasurers office in quantities. The appropriation made by the Leg islature for the payment of bounties on eagles is $7,500 for the years 1917 and 1918.
