With the ratification of the treaty of peace with Germany the Soviet con- gress in Moscow has dissolved. But the Germans have not yet ceased their iEroads into Russia's richest territory ia the south. Nikolayev, the great navy yard city northeast Of Odessa and headquarters of the high command of the Russian Black Sea fleet, is the lat est prize that has been wrested from the Russians. Situated at the mouth of the Bug River. the capture of the town gives the Germans water route of great value through the rich agri- cultural country from Nolhynia to the Black Sea.
 Up to the last some of the chief members of the Soviet congress op posed the hard terms of the Germans, but to no avail. Warning was sounded by several of them of a further Ger man attack and of the necessity for amalgamating for resistance. Before adjournment the congress approved the removal of the capital from Pe- trograd 10 Moscow and late dispatches say that Petrograd has now been com pietely evacuated
 No change in the situation in Si-. beria has been noted. As late, as Sat urday the Japanese, according to Pre- eAh-i ACid'ilAs ituu IlOt urC1QcC lHA1 should be done by Japan with regard to the nerace of the Bolsheyisi and the German clements. who are aiding them in their reign of terror in Si berfa.

 Increase in Fientine Activity.
 With the approach of spring each day witnesses an increase in tue fl atst- ing activity In every theatre. except Russia, the infantry and artillery are hard at work. From the North Sea to the Swiss frontier no day passes s'fth- out numerous 'pstrer' encounters which at times reach the intensity al- most or battles. and artillery duels fc violence but little short of tlle great exchanges of shells which in the pas year reached the high water mark ir intensity.

 the Germans. Particularly violent has been the pounding of the shells along the Bapaume Cambrai road, in the Scarpe valley and around Lens. Only one enemy infantry attack was at tempted. This occurred north of Lens and was repulsed. The British were successful in similar manouVres near Epehy and Cavrelle.
 American Gunners Active.
 On the American front near Foul the Americans are ever on the alert and frequently open up with their suns against German positions and compel the enemy to evacuate the sectors un- der fire. Posts occupied by snipers and listeners and nests Of machint gunners recently have been effectively taken care of by the American gum | ners. The Germans. however, are not permitting the men from overseas to do all the shooting, for they them selves are at times putting the Amer 1 leans under an extraordinarily heavy artillery fire in which explosive shells 1 of large caiibre and gas nnisss:es are used. The Foul sector apparently mas been picked by the Germans as fa- voritc spot upon which to expend their noxioGs gases, although Luneviiie has not been forgotten by them in this reslect
