WAR SUMMARY.
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.
