ON
 THE OFFENSIVE

BERNIE. March 21.-(R)-Iate ad. vices from Petluras state that the Ukrainians have resumed the offen- sive in that section and have prac- tically reversed the position of a few days ago. Where it appeared as tho the Bolsheviki were in complete control those sections are now in the hands of the Ukrainian troops and the situation of the Bol forces is regarded as critical.
 The Ukrainians evidently led the Bolsheviki into a trap by practicing a little deception in feigning weak ness. As soon as the Bols were in a position to receive a whipping the whole of the Ukrainian army sprang into existence and reversed the ap. parently secure position of the in. vaders. While no great battles have been fought as yet it is expected that news of big struggle may be looked for at any time.

 Major Foster stated that the paci. fist organization had so cleverly per. fected their working plans that 1t had reached even to the war depart. ment, which countenanced some of the principles of the organizations. He was not positive whether the sec. retary realized that such was the case. but the facts were there nev. ertheless.

the Canadian and American govern ments for improvements for the coast waterways.
 The resolution points out the great loss of money represented in the destruction of vessels on the north ern route and the appalling loss of life caused by the shipwrecks. It is estimated that fully two hundred million dollars has been sustained thru the loss of ships and cargoes and many hundreds of lives have been lost also, all thru the made. quate charting and buoying of the reef strewn channels.
 Publicity by the mining and com. mercial bodies of Juneau. Fairbanks, Vancouver, Seattle and other coast and northern cities have been sought. The Princess Sophia 'catas. trophe is cited as one instance of where had ample channel markings been employed the loss of life would never have occurred.

 WILMA FRONTS

ARCHANGEL, March 21-R)-Ac- tivity has increased considerably along the Vologda railway and the Wilma front within the past few days.
 Both sides have assumed an az gressive spirit as tho determined to decide the issue in a few big bat ties. The fighting has been heavy wherever engagements have taken place and the losses have been cor lespondingly heavy.
 In the main the fighting favored the American and allied troops, who have defeated the Bolshevyu at nearly every point. While the d. lies gained some ground in few places this achievement cannot be considered as q victory tor the op- posing forces are still lighting back. The allies are advancing with eau tion as they fear that the easy resis. tance may lead them into a trap. They are carrying their formation forward so if d trap should develop they will find them prepared for 1t.

GERMANS STILL
 PAY HOMAGE TO
 FORMER KAISER

BERLIN. March 21.-P)-That a great number of German people still consider they owe their alliegance to the former kaiser is evidenced by the large number of names that was subscribed to an address of homage that was circulated on the kaiser's birthday last January. The total number of names subscribed to the document is 436.912. This is taken as an indication that there are that many people living in Germany who would follow the house of Hohen- sollern were it yet on the throne.
 To acquaint the kaiser with his standing among the people the sheets containing the names have been bound into volumes, thirty seven large books being made. This has been sent to the kaiser at Anne. 1Agen.
