HUNS CONTINUE
 RUSSIAN INVASION
More Than 400 Miles of Russian Ter ritory Menaced By Onward
 March of Huns.
associated Press Dispatch.

associated Press Dispatch.
 London, Feb. 20. Germany has not yet replied to the Bolsheviki offer to accept enforced peace. The armies that occupied Dvinsk and Lutsk con tinue the invasion of the great Rus sian front. More than four hundred miles from the Gulf of Riga to Litsk is menaced by the power of German militarism. The Bolsheviki govern ment is unprepared for warfare and it's armies are partly demobilized. It has agreed to accept the hard terms refused only few days ago at Brest- Litovsk. It is doubtful whether a backdown by Russia will halt the on ward march of the Germans, who may intend to capture the greater portion of Russia, torn as it is by internal strife.
