why Ii Will PAY You
To Own z Home IT The
Tri-CitieS

Here you are in the Tri-Cities holding a
good position and able to own home if you
so elect. But there are two important ques-
tons to decide.
You want to feel sure that the money you
spend for your home will be invested in a
community where prosperity is certain for
the future And you want to feel sure, too,
that you settling down in a neighbOrly,
pleasant community where life will be worth
while.
On the score of continued prosperity, the
Tri-Ci6es represent the maximum of assUr-
ance. They are most fortunately situated
for the perpetuation of present manufacture
ing and the constant addition of other indus
trial enterprises. Exceptional transportation
faciIities-bOth rail and water-and favor
able location for obtaining raw materials and
shipping our finished products make that
certain.
And besides industrial advantages the Tri-
Cities are located in and draw upon the
richest agricultural territory in the country.
Cities so placed are invariably leaders in
solid, consistent prosperity which is last and
least affected by adverse general conditions.
So the Tri-Cites are safe for an investment.
Socially, the Tri-Cities are ideal There
are good schools, good churches, desirable
amusements and existing population
which is hospitable and anxious to extend
warm welcome to all new residents.
With rents what they are, you will find it
little, if any, more expensive to build than TO

RUSSIA HAS QUIT

BoLSHEVIk GOVERNMENTS WITH DRAWAL FROM WAR HAS
 BEEN REPEATED.

New York.-Although reports of the conference at the imperial Ger man headquarters between Emperor William and the military and political leaders have indicated the probability of further fighting between the Teu- tonic allies and the Russians, the Bol- shevik governments withdrawal from the war has been repeated by Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minis ter A wireless communication from Petrograd says Trotzky informed the All-Russian Workmen's and Soldiers Councils that Russia's withdrawal was a real one, and that all agreements with her former allies had been vit- lated. The councils approved Trotz- kys policy.

POLES ON STRIKE;
 GERMANY ALONE
GERMANY INVOLVED IN A MAZE OF DIFFICULTIES ON THE
 EASTERN FRONT.
GERMANS AIDING UKRAINE
Austra-Hungary Involved Because Of Leading Part Which 1t Was Expect ed She Would Play in Future Gov
 ernment of Poland.

New York.-German has suddenly found herself involved in a maze of difficulties on the Eastern front and in danger of losing all the large bene- fits she was calmly preparing to real ize from her peace with the Ukraine and the Bolshevik withdrawal of Rus sia from the war.
 Poland, that land which so ire quently in the course of history has proved a thorn in the side of military conquerors, is threatening to consti- ute herself the rock on which tho German hope of peace and gainful eX- pansion in the East may be shattered. Embittered by the tearing off of strip of their territory to be given tho Ukraine for breaking away from the Bolsheviki and signing a peace with the Central powers, the Poles are in what appears to be practically state of revolt.
 Even the very weapon which Ger many and Austria were at such pains to forge in the hope of deriving mili- tary beneft-the Polish army-bids fair to be turned against them. Re ports in the German newspapers which express dismay and alarm over the Polish situation. indicate that the Polish legions, now an effective mili- tary force, are on the side of the prev alent Polish sentiment of bitterness against the imperial powers. The sit uation has grown so serious that the military are patrolling the streets in Warsaw.
 Austria-Hungary is particularly in- volved because of the leading part which it was expected she would play in the future government of Poland. The Polish elements and those sym pathizing with them in Austria-Hun- gary are up in arms over the situation and further internal troubles are threatened.
 It already has been reported that 1 Germany purposes resuming military operations against Northern Russia and this report gains color by the | announcement that the commission | representing the Central powers at 1elTOSIdQ lldS lell lllt huSSldn Cdpfldt and passed within the German mili- l tary lines. The probable German pur- pose to attack the Bolsheviki is also indicated in Vienna dispatch declaI | ing that if Germany decides to re- sume military operations against Rus sia the attitude of Austria would not be influenced thereby. This would seem to mean that Austria intends to leave Germany to fight the battle alone in North Russia. Whether she hopes to keep up connections with the Petrcgrad government meanwhile is not clear, but a Sofia dispatch de- clares that Bulgaria is doing that very thing, having resumed diplomatic re- lations with Russia" However, all the Central powers are in agreement over the situation, it is declared.

2,34O.OOO GERMANS
 ON WESTERN FRONT
ALLIES WILL MEET TEUToNS WITH MOST STUBBORN
 RESISTANCE.

New York.-Although under the good weather the ground in France and Belgium is fast drying out and the Teutonic allies are continuing to pour thousands of troops to positions behind the battle line, there still has been no indication that the enemy is ready to begin his much advertised attack Bombardments and patrol cn. counters along the entire front are still taking place, as for many days past, but the roar of the guns no- where has reached that volume of drumfire which iii the past always has heralded great infantry attacks.
 While the German endorsements have been coming up the entente com manders everywhere have strengthen ed their positions and optimism is ex- pressed both from British and Frencn that should the Germans strike-no matter how early-they will meet with most stubborn resistance.
 The Associated Press correspond ent, with the French headquarters, says the French authorities consider that the total number of the enemy now facing the French, British. American and Belgian troops or held in reserve aggregates 2,340,000 men. Military authorities in Great Britain have said recently that preponder- power still is with the entente armies. 
 Several additional successful raids by the British, in which German off cers and men were captured and oth- CTS killed, and heavy artillery fight ing between the French and the Ger mans on various sectors sums up the activities on the western front.
 The American sharpshooters and artillerymen are keeping up their good work against the Germans, hay ing with their shrapnel fire compell- ed the enemy to almost abandon first line trenches and with their sharp shooters and rapid-fire guns forced snipers to quit their posts and seek safety. German airships are still fly. ing over the American positions, seeking information as to the num- Der of men there.
 While the Austrians still are try ing out the Italian line on the Sette Communi and at other points and meeting with bloody defeat, behind the fighting line they and the Ger mans are playing the role of vandals, using violence against the natives, pillaging their homes and stores and sending back to their own countries . foodstuffs and other spells.
