NO OFFICIAL NOTICE.

NO OFFICIAL NOTICE.
Officially there is nothing to be
said on the subject because the gov
ernment has no official information.
Probably no definite official pro-
nouneement Of how 1t affects the sit
uation could be made anyway without
agreement among all the co-belliger-
ents and that is considered unlikely.
Military men, however, confident that
the allied line on the western front
will hold against any German force
that can be brought against It, pro-
fess not to regard the Russian sepa"
rate peace as the menace 1t would ap-
pear on paper.
The fact that 100000 German pris-
oners will be freed to return to Ger
many is regarded with no alarm at
all. .at ...S...x..g .-..s.
Germany Fears Bolsheviki.
Military men say they could not
quickly be reorganized into etlcient
military units. s....s..
The general opinion here is that
Germany would be more interested IN
keeping the prisoners in Russia rather
than risk having them, carry Boi~
shevi!;i doctrine back to Germany.
The l47 Austro-G German and Bull
garian divisions on the Russian front
which will be released by separate
peace. are regarded as already hav.
ing been stripped of their electives,
which, have been transferred to the
western trout
Military experts say in addition that
Germany would be obliged to keep
some of these l47 divisions in the vast
conquered territory for garrison pur-
poses. =,
Military Experts Sure OF Success.
The one outstanding fact is that the
military experts are sure the REIN
forcements the Germans can draw
from the Russian front cannot over
whelm the western line.
Russia at this time owes the United
States $l87,779,000, advanced for sup
plies which already have gone to Rus
sia. For that sum the government
holds Russian bonds. s.
Whether this vast sum will De to-
tai loss to the United States depends
on whether the ultimate government
in Russia decides to repudiate tho
debt.

lished at the treasury for Russia, but

Washington, Feb. l2.-Camp
Greene, Charlotte, N. C., now oc-
cupied by regular troops, is to be
abandoned as a permanent training
center because of lunsuitability of the
ground on which it is located.
Major General Dickman today re-
ported the camp site knee deep in
mud insome places owing to an un-
usually hard winter and the clay soil
which underlies the surface and pre-
vents rapid absorption.

there until summer comes, and by
that time the men will have been

TO CONTINUE WAR.
In reiterating the intention Of the
American people to continue the war
until new international order de-
void of government by intrigue and
force is realized, the president an.
swered the statement made recently
by Chancellor Won Hertling for Ger
many and Foreign Minister Czernin
for Austria Hungary.
A proposal to end hostilities only or
German terms is seen in Won Her
things utterance, while Count Ger.
min, the president said, spoke in a
friendly tone, seeing the basic ele.
ments of peace with clear eyes.
The German emperor's reply tc
congratulations on the peace agree
ment with tie Ukraine glorihes tht
policy of might.
G mans to Force Peace.
Germany, he says, shall seek il
every way to bring peace to the
world, but those who refuse the Ger
man terms must be forced to have
peace" while acknowledging The
power of the German sword.
Meanwhile on the western front
where Germany is massing its force:
to crush the ertente, there are sign;
of growing alertness, portending the
battles to come.
The weather has improved and or
some parts of the British front the
ground is in condition for military op
erations on larger scale than fol
several months.
British Are Confident.
German troops and guns are still
pouring into France opposite the Brit
ish lines, hut the British are reported
confident, the preponderance of mel
and guns being still with the allies
Raids are increasing in intensity anc
the artillery fire is becoming more VIC,

reports that German traders have
taken advantage of the situation in
Russia and erected 400 booths at con-
venient spots along and close to the

ACCOUNTANT ON STAND.
The trial was resumed today with
M. Doyen, an expert accountant,
again on the stand to refutc charges
made by Monsignor Bolo. brother of
the defendant, that Doyen had dis
honored himself by falsifying a por-
ton of his original report on Rolo's
activities.
The witness spoke with great re-
serve and moderation, declaring
merely that he took exception ito the
form in which these criticisms were
presented by a man who strangely
abuses the moral authority conferred
on him bf the cloth he wears" M.
Doyen then reiterated and explained
in detail the poy6ons of his report
which the prisoners brother had
challenged.
After M. Doyen had testified.
Monsignor Bolo again took the stand
and reiterated his attacks of yester-
day, especially on the authenticity of
the kilograms of Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador to
the United States, duplicates Of
which he insisted should be produced
rather than to rely on American State
department documents.
When the prosecutor repeated, as
on Monday, that the American gov
ernrnent could not be questioned, the
priest created a scene by asserting
passionately, "the American govern
ment has not the right to shoot my
innocent brother"
No Case Against Boio.
Maurice Nioiette, former minister
of subsistence testified that the cur
rent opinion among Parliamentary
and ministerial circles in August
1917, was that no case would be
found against Bo1o Pasha, and that
M. Painleve, then minister of war,
had asserted that the case did not
warrant an arrest.
The last witnesses of the day re-
counted the good deeds, of Bolo
Pasha and Darius Porchere, an ac-
:ountant, who is a co-defendant with
Bolo, and also told of the personal
feuds between the newspaper, men
for and against Senator Charles
Hunbert, former owner Of the Paris
Journal. One character witness for
Bolo, NJ. Delancle, said he was sur
prised that the government had
; charged Bolo with being a friend Of
Abbas Hilmi, former Khcdive of
Egypt, who, it has been charged, sent
money to Bolo for use in carrying on
German propaganda. "Why" said
De1ancle, "President Wilson has not
vet said he was an emey of Turkey"

YOU MUST WORK

Prominent Woman Worker
Says American Women
Must Quit Being
Parasites

Mrs. Frank A.. Vanderlip of New
York City, treasurer of the National
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, is
urging upon the women of America
definite and consistent war service.
In a recent interview she said:
American women must quit being
parasites and learn to give instead .,
always taking. An hour or Swa q
few days a week IS not enoaph Ia,
any m 60 give her country. We
must give a full assiness day, an !.
hour day every day of the week If We
are to Count Tor anything while the
war lasts"
Mrs. Vander1ip outlined she splen.
did work which has been done by the
women of Great Britain and France
and congratulated American women
on having as theis allies in their new
work such women.

ciasts mean when they wan us to

iueTc 10 Uul one SldlOdTu IOI
measuring a in this new day
OF war. That is dependability. The
woman who can be depended upon is
the one we want. The one who can
not be cOunted upon is the one who
will be dropped forever. A profess
stonal spirit is the need of Ameri-
can women, who have been parasitic
for too long. We must stop taking
and give. Eight hours a day is a
short day for this great WORK we have
before US. Two or three hours a day
to the Red Cross is not enough for
any woman to give as her war work.
w must get as our personal point
of view the realization that we can.
not have our cake and eat ii TOO. We
must ask ourselves, in this war of
equipment rather than men, who must
go without il we have the things we
have been accustomed to. Business
and pleasure cannot 20 on as usual il
we are successfully to conduct this
tremendous new business of war.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India. and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l., Australia had
stored 1W, 100000 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0,OOO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1SO,OOO,O 600 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
7O,0O0.OOO bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
6O,OOO,OOO bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 11,OOO,OOO
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1876, 200, 900 to
the left over.
1t Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.
