Germany has returned to the at tack on the Russian front, and the bolshevist government must face its greatest test the power of German militarism. Invading forces have crossed the Dvina and Dvinsk and are advancing eastward from Kov el, Yolhynia to aid the hard-pressed Ukrainians, and protect the food supplies in the new country. This is the first military activity on these fronts since late last November. What opposition tho bolsheviki can or will offer the Germans is problematical. Although the Rus sian army has been much weakened by the demobilization order and strife in the ranks, the bolshevist Red Guards have been successful against the Ukrainians and other opposing forces in southern Russia. A week ago, delayed dispatches from Petrograd say, the bolshevist lead ers were doubtful if Germany would attack, and apparently had no intention to fight the invaders. 'The food shortage in Groat Rus sia is becoming desperate. 'Trotzky has been appointed food dictator with absolute powers. Ukraine Center of Tragedy. The situation in the Ukraine is serious, which may account tot Germany's decision to act. Bol shevist troops hold Kiev, the capi tal, where 4,000 persons were killed and 7,000 injured in several days of heavy fighting; and bolshevist adherents are destroying railroads and food supplies. In Odessa, also, there has been fighting. On the western front there have been no extensive movements. In Champagne, the Germans persist in their attempts against French posi tions near the Butte du Mesnil. Twice 'Tuesday the French, who are aided by American artillery, re pulsed enemy efforts, the Germans being unable to reach the French lines. Drop Sixteen German Planes. Aerial activity is the predomi nating factor on lhe British and American fronts. In the north, British airmen have accounted for sixteen German airplanes and have dropped hundreds of bombs on rail ways and airdromes. French and British bombing squadrons also have attacked important points in Lorraine. On the American sector, the en emy machines have been busy over and behind the American lines. American gunners kept the German high in the air and one of the en emy was brought down by an Amer ican aviator. Nine Americans have been wounded by German shells. There has been considerable ar tillery activity on the Italian front. Third Daily Raid on London. For the third time in as many days, German airmen raided south east England Monday night. None of the raiders was able to penetrate the defenses of London. Premier Lloyd George is expect ed to appear in the house of com mons today to defend the govern ment's action with respect to the retirement of General Robertson as chief of the imperial general staff, which has aroused much criticism in the British press. Dr. Von Kuchlmann, the Ger man foreign minister, it is reported, will address the reichstag today on the Ukrainian peace pact. ALLIED ARMIES AWAIT ATTACK OF ENEMY (Continued From Page 1.) many men were willing to fight to a finish. Only live non-commissioned officers and privates stepped forward. 'The others declared their desire for an early peace by "ar rangement." German officers, on the other hand, appear to have the conviction that they will be able to break through by means of their "secret attacks.' General Yon Hutier, who is re puted to have laid the plans for the capture of Riga, has come to the western front to assist in the prep aration. The lessons of the capture of Riga have been preached reli giously to the German troops. It has been pointed out that therefore a preliminary bombardment of four or five hours to cut the enemy wire and demolish defenses was sufficient to give the Germans a firm foot ing in the Russian positions. Find Determined Allied Front. German troops have not been told, however, that the morale of the Russians at Riga was very low and that the German attack was a complete surprise. 'The Germans will find the allied morale at the highest pitch on the western front, and their attack will be far from the surprise desired. The allies are ready for a big blow and await with assurance the next move of the tier man high command. 'The German attack cannot be de layed much longer. All informa tion poitits to the fact that both German civilians and soldiers are keyed up to such a pitch of nerv ous expectancy that the strain can not endure for long. They are waiting for the attack with feverish hope that the high command can this time make good its promise. The German troops are expected to fight well. Beginning of the End. The coming battles will perhaps he the tnost sanguinary of the war, and they will be the most intense yet seen. But they will mark the beginning of the end, for if the Ger mans do not break clear through the allied line and they cannot they virtually will be finished. The em peror is putting every ounce of strength into this great gamble, and if it fails in the early stages it means the end of Prussian militarism. The allied forces have a superior ity in numbers, both in men and in guns, and no doubt is felt on this front as to the outcome. MISS THOMPSON IN RECITAL AT DALLAS Miss Anne 'Thompson has re turned from Dallas, 'Texas, where she was presented Saturday night in recital at Bush Temple recital ball, by the Mickwitz Club. Miss Thompson gave an unusually beau tiful as well as pretentious program, one group being devoted entirely to the works of American composers. In her last number, "Tarantella," by Liszt, the orchestral part on the second piano was played by Harold von Mickwitz, whose pupil she was. Miss Thompson had many lovely courtesies extended her while in Dallas. She was presented numer ous lloral gifts, one being a basket of lovely blossoms from the Mick witz Club. She was also the guest of honor at an elegant little home dinner given by Harold von Mick witz. 'The night of her recital Miss Thompson wore a beautiful gown of red, white and blue tulle over silver cloth. The club which pre sented Miss Thompson is made up exclusively of pupils of Harold von Mickwitz, all of whom are teachers. Mrs. Thompson was accom panied by her mother, Mrs. J. C. 'Thompson, who returned with her. Later in the season this gifted young pianist will give a recital in Denton and one in 'Tulsa, her plans being still later to go to Chicago and New York. IN THE DISTRICT COURT. In the district court this morn ing a jury was secured and the hear ing began in the case of the State vs. Jess Mitchell, accused of assault with a dangerous weapon. Mitchell is a negro, and is charged with shooting and injuring another ne rgo. 'The four cases against Jennie Xe vil. Frank Morgan and Opal Mc Clain, larceny, were dismissed on the payment by the defendants of the costs, amounting to $53. These were the shoplifting cases arising a few days before last Christmas, when a wagon load of stolen goods was found in the rooms of the de fendants. In this court yesterday afternoon the injunction case of the State vs. Homer Fry and Mrs. J. A. Goggins was tried and the injunction made permanent against a building owned by Mrs. Goggins and formerly oc cupied by Homer Fry, near the car barn, where, it was alleged, liquor had been sold. The injunction was made permanent as against the front part of the building and dis solved as against the rear portion of it. in
