They haive made every preparation that their skill and resources petrnit and are sitting tight.

There have been large concentrations of German :rcIps near the Swiss frontier, and T-.ut:ns in Zurich have openly boast ed that the conquest of the little re ;-.%I2 would be a matter of but a f .ys. R wat said skeleton govern for the cantons already had e-n prepared by the authorities in Br.n. .Just in case his xpring drive doesn't suceed, as the allien are determined it ,shall not, Wilhelm has been construct ing most eluborate and extensive sys temns of defensive works back of his present lines all tho way from the North sea to the Swiss frontier. Vice Admiral Sirms went to Rome last week, presumably to confer re garding plans to clear the Mediterra necan of U-boats, which have worked havoc there with allied shipping for a long time. Efforts of the government to recruit it great army of shipyard workers are meeting with considerable success, but tihe work of building our marine was threatened by a prospective strike of 50O,000 members of the marine wood workers' union. They demanded $8.40 a day instead of the $4.80 allowed by the shipping board, and the govern-. meat got busy at once to try to settle the dispute. Chairman Hurley of the shipping b)oard sent a telegram to the union heads wvarning them that the fathers who have sent their sons to war will not long permit continued interference with the shipping program and urging that the workmen continue their labors and trust to the fairness of the wage adjustment board. Charges of gross mismanagement and reckless spending of money in connection with the new government shipyard at Hog Island, Pa., having been made, the president ordered an investigation to determine whether there had been any criminal misuse of funds. Rear Admiral Bowles, general manager of the Emergency Fleet cor poration, said he wvas confident all ex pendlitures ordlered by tihe board would be vindicated. Reorganization in the wvar depart ment reached the general staff last I week. It has been restoredl to its for men power and undler General March as acting chief of staff are now five new members-Generals Pierce, Jeg vey' and Graves, and Colonel Ketchas.

ARE GIVING OVER TO ENEMEY Under Penalty of Death Russians Are Ordered by Bolsheviki to Resist Advance of Germans. Facing absolute subjection at the' hands of the advancing Germnas, the Russian -premier and commander-in chief have taken what steps they could to initiate at least a nominal defense against the invaders of their country. Orders directing that guer rilla warfare be carried on and plac ing Petrograd in a state of siege have been issued by Lenine and Krylenko, and it is expected that the Germans will meet with some resistance before long. That the Teutons can be tempor arily checked, however, is doubted even in Petrograd. The Russian army's debacle apparently is so com plete that there is no shadow of au thority over its units. Berlin reports that the first Esthonian regiment has deserted in a body and offered its serviceb to the German commander who is operating in the northernmost Baltic province. The Russian navy, too, is completely disorganized and, while it is desired to withdraw the warships from Reval and -Telsingfors to Kronstadt, it is believed that this operation is impossible, In view of the disuse into which the Baltic fleet has fallen. Only the submarines are in a seaworthy condition, it is re ported. There is as yet no definite advices as to the rumored fall of the Lenine Trotzky government. The proclamia. 1ion directing that resistance be of. fored to the German advance, how ever, did not bear the name of Trotzky who hitherto has been a vir tual dictator, which may be signifi annt. The Germans have pushed still fur ther eastward. In the far north, the village of Hapsal. on the south coast of Finland has been captured. Fur ther south the city of Rieshitsa. about 100 miles east of Riga. has been enter. ed by the Teutons. who report that they were welcomed by the people. Still farther south the village of Leu zin, east of Minsk. has been taken. LARGE DETACHMENTS ORDERED TO CAMP GREENE Will Be an Assembling Point and Prob ably An Aviation Camp. Washington. D. C.-The war depart ment took the first step in rehabilita. tation of Camp Greene as an assemb ling camp. Thtis was in the ordering of a detachment of from 10.000 to 12,000 men to the ordnance dlepot. Assistant Secretary Crowell stated that arrangements for assembling these men are now under way.,. Secretary Baker stated that it is his intention to send inspectors to Camp greene at once to look over the loca tion for a signal corps depot. All in dications point to utilization of the camp to its full capacity. It would be advisable for the city and township road building authori ties to proceed with their work and anticipate completion of the camp as the government may be depended upon to carry out its part of the contract. Secretary Baker expressed the opin ion that Charlotte is going to have a better camp than before. It has never been regarded as a training camp and never was so intended, It will be re mnembered that Secretary Baker made that statement a couple of months ago but its establishment as a permanent military assembling camp may be ac cepted as a settled fact and that as such it will be likely developed stead ily to full growth. Divisions now there are to remain there until ordered to Frane, and that date seems indefiuite. . VfON KUEHLMANN AND CZERNIN GO TO BUCHAREST Amsterdam-According to 'The Lo cal Anzeiger of Berlin, Dr. von Kuehl nann, the German foreign minister, ias gone to Vienna where he will be >oined by Count Czernin, the Austro -fungarian minister.
