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
QYina. Swedish volunteer troops have
i gone to the aid 81 fire Esth0niars.~
At the time OF writing this, ueYS
comes that the Germans have evacuat-
ed Riga and that the British have land
ed troops, under all arms at that port

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

operations, which were carried out in
zero temperature and deep snow.

Ltebknecht has rot 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
Spartacides 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 a 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. Radek, head of the boil
shev1st 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 its doc 7
u1es to the west. Kurt Eisner, pre- !
mler 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 Paris
sar1y In the week, President Wilson

population gave him 80 enthusiastic q
'ecepuon that it was evident they had

loners and Partsians. The streets md
ouliolngs We're lavishly decorated and
ne freedom of the Eternal CITY was
bestowed on the American president
3anquets, Official calls and coofero,,-
'es took UP most OF his time in Rome
While he was in Italy, it is understood,

iaVs Tor possession of the lands along
