Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1919-01-10

The bolsheviki claimed the capture, 4,
on Tuesday, of the city of Ufa, capital |
Of the nonbolShevik government in the |
region west of the Ural mountains, and |
also of the town of Sterlitamak, south |
of Ufa.
In Lithuania the advance of the boil |
shevist forces was so threatening that
the bourgeois government was moved
from Wilma to Kovno, and in Esthonia
and Livonia the Lenine troops were
moving forward against Reval and
Riga, occupying Romershof on the
Dvina. Swedish volunteer troops have
gone to the aid of the Esthonians.
At the time of writing this, news
comes that the Germans have evacuat-
ed Riga and that the British have land
ed troops, under all arms, at that port
and also at Libau and Windau, the
chief ports of Courland on the Baltic.
The allied forces in the Archangel
region are still awaiting an announce
| ment of policy by their governments,
| but they are not inactive, having re-
| Gently defeated the enemy along the
| Omega river and greatly improved their
| positions. Michigan and Wisconsin
! troops played a notable part in these
| operations, which were carried out in
zero temperature and deep snow.

Liebknecht has not yet succeeded in
| overthrowing the Ebert government in
Berlin, but the independent socialist
members of the government have been
ousted, and it is now reported that
Ebert and Scheidemann are in secret
agreement with the leaders of the bour-
geois party to combat the extremists,
who, include the Independents, the
Spartacdes and the sailors. The bour-
geois leaders, it is said, are convinced
that civil war cannot be averted.
The Spartacus group, assembled in
congress, howled down proposition
made by Liebknecht that they take
part in the election of members of the
new national assembly. Led by Rosa
Luxembourg, they declared the meet
ing of the assembly must be prevented
at all costs. Radeh, head of the boil
shevist mission to Germany, tells the
Spartacides he would welcome an en-
tente occupation of Germany, because
the invaders would become infected
with bolshevism and spread it's doc
tries to the west. Kurt Eisner, pre-
mier of the republic" of Bavaria, is
said to be siding with the Independent
socialists against Ebert, and Hinden
burg is so discouraged by the disorder
in Berlin that he has said he would
support the occupation of the city By
the British

Returning from England to Pari:

left for Italy Wednesday evening
When he arrived in Rome he was wei
coined by the king and queen and {
host of other notables, and the Roman
population gave him so enthusiastic
reception that it was evident they hat
