TRoTzKY RESIGNS.
Real Head Of Government.


As the BOlshevik foreign minister,
Leon Trotzky. whose real name is
Ieber Braunstein, was the most
important member of the revolutions
ary government formed after this
overthrow OF Kerensky last Novem-
Der, although NikoIai Lenine, aa
premier, was the nominal head OF the
government, Trotzky virtually con-
trolled Russia's destiny up to the Sec
ond peace conference at Brest-
TdtovEk.
1t was Trotzky who made public
the text Of secret documents ex-
changed between former Russian
governments and foreign govern
ments and 1t was he who proposed
the armistice to the central powers
early in December. which eventually
led to the abortive conference az
Brest-L.itovsk. The negotiations
were disrupted in mid February and
hostilities were renewed. The Ger
mans then submitted partial peace
terms. but Trotzky took no part In
the conferences.
Trotzky's resignation Is the sec
ond among the Russian leaders fore
cast by Berlin. On Feb. 25, Berlin
reported that Ensign Krylenko, COM
mander OF the Russian armies, had
been superseded. A dispatch received
in London Thursday said Rrylenko
had resigned owing to differences
with the council Of peoples commits
saries. TrOtzky's resignation was
forecast by Berlin last Tuesday. The
Withdrawals OF TrotzlEY and Krylenko
leave Lenine as the survivor OF the
Bolshevik ruling triumvirate.
Having escaped from Siberia,
where he was sent for political Of
fenses, TrotzlCy was an exile at the
outbreak of the war. He was ex-
PEELED from Europe for preaching
peace and arrived in New York on
Jan. IA. 1917, but returned to Russia
last April, after the overthrow Of the
imperial government.
Open Route To Far East.
The Hague. March 9.-"We havs
acquired direct free route via Russia
to Persia and Afghanistan'' says a
dispatch from the Violin bureau, the
German semi-official agency. recetv-
ed here today.
The announcement of the Wolf
bureau, IL true, has an importanE
bearing on the situation in western
Asia, and, possibly. even in India
The peace terms forced upon Russia
at Brest-Litovslz took away from
Russia districts in the Cis-C Caucasian
region, through which IL would be
possible for the Germanic allies %
gain entrance from the Black sea or
Turkey into Persia. Passage through
Persia, probably would meet with
only nominal opposition, while a
still further advance into Afghanis-
tan would be possible.
German Socialists TRAITORS.
London, March 8. Friday Premier
Lenine and Foreign Minister Trotzky
are the signers of a message sent out
by the Russian government wireless
ordering the Bolsheyik representa-
tives I'm Sweden to have no dealings
with the German Socialist imperials
lists"
The message reads:
I'VE cannot negotiate with strike
breakers such as the partisans
(the German maiorifw
Socialist leader) who are traitors ID
the working classes"

Melbourne. March 9.--AccordinE to
Captain Pearse, a member Of the Red
Cross, a British gunboat surprised a
German prize crew aboard the British
vessel Turritella while they were lay
ing mines off Perrin. The Germans
took to the small boats and blew up
the TurritelIa. while Chinese were in
the stokehole and engine room. The
gunboat captured the Germans who
were recently tried at Bombay for
murder. The Turritella was captured
by the raider Wolf.

Quiet On American Front

With The American Army In
France, Thursday, March There
was comparatively lively artillery
firing last night and today on the
section OF the Lorraine front where
American troops are now in train
ing. Late this evening the enemy
bombarded American positions heav-
lily, but without result.
On the Lorraine sector as on the
front northwest OF Toul the Ameri-
can artillery is showing effective
ness and accuracy. It's shells are
we'll on points back Of
the enemy lines, especially on cross
roads, batteries and working parties.
Because Of a new, but probably
temporary rule, It Is not permitted
to discuss American casualties, no
matter where they occur.

Germans Will Not Interfere.
Amsterdam, Friday, March g.
Commenting on the treaty with
Rumania, The Berlin Tageblatt says

the standpoint that the Bessarabian
question must be settled between
Rumania and Russia, but that the
alliance has already intimated that
the union of Bessarabia, with Russia
would receive its approval.
Rumania. adds the newspaper,
must herself therefore win and hold
Bessarabia and may keep sufficient
number Of troops mobilized until
she has conquered Bessarabia and
for its protection against
the Russians.

SHIRE Our SUGAR
With The ALLIES
;riti2h Get Two Pounds a Month
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
bile when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions with which We are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
,st possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
now war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ion has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration Of two
hounds per person month.
I'm the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one Of the scarce
articles OH every menu-whether In
the households Of both rich and poor,
lr in the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and a
half and In Italy it Is one pound a
month. And the prices In allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
II you go to q hotel In England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring II with you.
In England II Is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
The preparation of each luncheon. In
| France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
II they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
| 625, 900 acres devoted to sugar produc.
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres
Today the French man or woman with g
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t. one must first
find 1t.
Italy Has estate Sugar."
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar In Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and In part actually
taken over by the state.
| Saccharine is permitted to be sold
| and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture Of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar." which is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before. the war, produced
a great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out Of the expor,
business, but have plenty Of CHEAP
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations. according to informa
ton received BY the United States
Food Administration are as follows
England, 10 cents pound; France
II cents; Italy. 20 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesals
price Is being held at Ia cents.

THE SUPREME
SACRIFICE

Yes G. Brown, a son Of Dan
Brown. was a young farmer, thir-
ty years of age, and lived in the
Quail section. He answered the
call for Over Sea Service under
the Selective Draft, and last week
answered the last call, and made
the Supreme Sacrifice on the west
ern front, giving his all to protect
our County, our Home, and our
Flag. This is as much a loss of
one of our citizens as if a Hun
tramp had taken possession of
part of the feln In which Mr..
Brown was working and when he
tried to drive him away, the Hun
had shot and killed him. Had
this happened in our country, we
would all have been up in arms
to avenge the blood of our neigh
Dor and friend. Distance should
make no difference. except to in
tensify our feelings of resentment.
The effect of the War has come
to US more forcibly because of
the lass Of one of our Rockcastle
County boys, so let US be up and
doing; let US take the solemn oath
to do our part; let US sow wheat
to the limit; let US economic and
help war needs with our money;
let all who can volunteer for es-
sential war work and all stand by
the Government, seeing that every
registered man takes his place.
No slackers; no evading draft,
but trust in God and our Govern
ment; do our duty and be men.

SHEEP-WOOL
A WAR CALL.

Our County. Roekcastle County
need more sheep. The United
States has a million fewer sheep
than when the war opened. The
world is short $4,000, 900 sheep.
The need of wool is constantly
increasing. Our army needs
more wool every day. 1t requires
the wool from 20 sheep to,clothe
one soldier. Sheep wiftSgive
you two crops each year-WOol
and Lambs.
The most effective Dog Law in
the United States now protects
you against the sheep-killing dog.
Live sheep are worth more than
ever before. The price of wool
is good and fixed.
1t is our patriotic duty to raise
sheep and help clothe one soldier,
if you can't clothe one entirely.
Investment in sheep is sound
business. Sheep are an asset tC
your community They restore
soil fertility, they are profitable
and supply necessities to our
people.
