All feeling-oit uovements by the ene

It Is believed in .ondon, an)d hoped
by navnl mlei, that Uerinany plans to

have it Iitutither of "sipersimnarines"

Swit z.rtind is growing very nrv
ois with fear It-ht the kaiser will do
termitte to tenr up another sernip of
'niler and inivatle her territory in or
der to attempt to turn the right Ilank
of the French armies. There have
been large concentrations of German

.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

new members-Generals Pierce, Jeg

ORDERS GUERRILLA
WAR BESTfBRED
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS TAKE STEPS
f CHECK MARCH OF
THE TEUTONS.
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. .

cal Anzeiger of Berlin, Dr. von Kuehl
