NNSSSS'ctSb FiSoS oSNIGWst
Belated dispatches from Russia fur
nsh further revelations of the disor-
dered conditions prevailing throughout
the former empire, ravaged by civil
war and apparently about to- be sab
jected to another military attack by
Germany.
The thick Of the fighting has been in
Ukraine, from which fertile region the
central powers have been confidently
expecting shortly to secure supplies
of foodstuffs to replenish their sadly
depleted stocks. Kiev, the seat of the
government of the new Ukrainian re-
public, which made peace with Gel-
many and Austria, is reported to have
been captured by the bolsheviki on
Feb. s, after fighting in which the
killed were estimated at 1000 and the
wounded at 1000.
About the same time there was a
battle in the streets of Odessa, the
great grain shipping port of the Black
sea, in which hundreds of persons
were killed, and the city was bonn
barded by warships.
On the other hand. the bolsheviki
are reported to have been defeated by
the revolving Polish troops in northern
Russia, the Poles winning a battle at
Bobrinsk, some eighty-five miles
southeast of Minsk, and sending then
forces on toward Smolensk. on the
road to Moscow and nearly 200 miles
northeast of Minsk.
In the two air raids of Saturday and
Sunday nights in London, the Ger
mans killed a total of twenty seven
persons and injured forty-one. In each
case only one raider appears. to have
been able to escape the British barrage
and bomb London itself. The greatest
harm was done by the Sunday night
raider when bombs killed sixteen per-
sons and injured thirty seven.

operations on the western front ap-
proaehes the American expeditionary
forces are widening their sphere Of ae-
tivity along the front lines. Not only |

a common carrier is liable under the

There is a strong sentiment among

the Great that now adorns the war
college. OF course the actually OF
such course may not be seriously
contemplated. but the feeling ~
strong The statue will at least come
down from where II Is. This resolu-
ton, however, and the talk that has
been created by IT., calls to my mind
an incident that has not been referred
TO, and has possibly been forgotten,
In 1905. when congress was debating
the acceptance of this same piece of
German bronze, the prophetic voice
of Senator A O. Bacon, of Georgia,
counselled against It, AS / recall IT
in one of the most eloquent speeches
the Georgian ever delivered on the
floor of the senate, he declared that
the day would come when the great
republic of the United States of Amer
lea, founded as it was upon a democ-
racy of peoples and thought and gov
ernmental standards, would regret the
day it planted "a German statue. rep
resenting the spirit of Prussian auto
craey. on the sacred public grounds of
this nations capital.
Senator Bacon was roundly CRITICIZE
ed for that speech. He never had
occasion to change his views, or re-
tract his prophecy.

looked into the future, Just fourteen
years ago. That's all,
