GENERAL KALEDINES A SUICIDE?
By Associated Press.
Petrograd, Feb. 19.—General Kaledines, leader of the Don
Cossacks, committed suicide at Novo Tcherkask headquarters
of the Don Cossacks, during a session of the Novo 1 cherkask
government which he attended. The government decided to
resign and transfer all its power to the local workmen and
soldirs' council. Af'^r the decision, General Kaledines went
to an adjoining room and shot himself.
(Associated Press Review)
Germany has returned to the at-
tack on the Russian front and the
Bolsheviki government must now
face its greatest test of the power
of German militarism. Invading
1'orees have*oroB8ed the Dvina and
Dvinsk, and are advancing east from
Koval in Volynia to aid the hard-
pressed Ukrainians and to protect the
food supplies in the new country
These are the first military activities
here since last September.
What opposition the Bolsheviki
can and will offer the Germans is
problematic. Though the Russian
army has been weakened by the de-
mobilization order and internal
strife, the Red Guards have been ef-
fective against opposing elements in
southern Russia.
Bolsheviki troops are holding Kiev,
the Ukranian capital, where 4,000
were killed and 7,000 injured in sev-
eral days fighting, and Bolsheviki
forces are destroying railroads an 1
food supplies. At Odessa there has
also been fighting.

FIGHTER-SPEAKER
Receives Favorable Mention
Where He Has Spoken
In U. S.
ALLIES ARE CONFIDENT AS
THEY AWAIT BLOW WHICH IS
EXPECTED TO INDICATE END
OKLAHOMA CITV, Feb. 19—Au-
thor, speaker, fighter. This is the
record of Lieutenan t MacQuarrie
who will soon address a mass meet-
ing in this city Tinder the auspices of
the Oklahoma State Council of De-
fense and the County Council of De-
fense.
Long after the dashing young
Briton had won his spurs on the
field of battle and long before he
gained distinction as a speaker the
lieutenant's name became familiar to
Americans as an author, his best
known work being 'How to Live at
the Front."
Those who have heard the lieu-
tenant speak are unanimous in their
commendation.
The York (Pa) Dispatch savs:
"He is a forceful soeaker, and told
a thrilling tale of the war. The lieu-
tenant wore his uniform and spoke,
not eloquently, but forcefully, out of
a full experience of parly training
davs and actual life in the trenches."
A report from Scranton, (Pa.)
says: "The audience was alternately
convulsed with amusehient and
brought to the verge of tears, and
was only sorry that the lecture was
not longer. The audience liked him
from the mom/.nt he began to speak,
ior he was so youthful, so entirely
fresh and unpretentious that his sin-
cerity could not be doubted for a mo-
ment."
Public Opinion of Chambersburg.
(Pa.) says: "When he attempted u>
conclude cries pf 'more, more,' were
made. He brings a stirring story of
life and conditions in the battle
zone."
James Shurlev, who expected to
leave yesterday at four thirty with
the contingent that went from here
to the VancoiPver barracks, received
n message at 11 o'clock ordering him
to report at Washington with the
20th Encineers for bridge construc-
tion work. Jamea had apolied for
entrance into this division of service
some time ago. but had given up get-
ting in. His transportation and res-
ervation had all been arranged for
Vancouver, but was changed and he
left at 11 last night for Washington.

WASHINGTON, 1). ('., Feb. 19.
Railroads asked the interstate com-

sion to raise rates on sugar 6c to 7c
per hundred from New Orleans,
Texas and interior Louisiana points: many wecks of intensive training
the assaulting troops will be ready
for the supreme effort so widely ad-
vertised the last week. Von Hinden-
burg and LudemMrt'f appear to have
realized that the old method of at-
tack in which a long bombardment
is employed is too well known to be
effective. Accordingly the German
troops are being informed that the
surprise attacks such as were used
In Gallcia last summer, at Riga and
again on the Isonzo are to be tried
against the allies on the western
front.
Much emphasis has been laid on
the fact that tanks and the new gas

little to do except walk through the
gaps and consolidate the positions.

Germans a firm footing in the Rus-
sian positions.
The German attack cannot be de-
layed much longer. All information
points to the fact that both German
civilians and soldiers are keyed up
to such a pitch of nervous expec-
tancy that the strain cannot endure
for long.
The German* will find the
highest morale oil the west, and
their attack will be no surprise,
they will learn. The allies arc
ready for the next blow. The
coming batles will be the most
sanguinary of the war and they
will be the most Intense yet
seen, but they will mark the be-
ginning of the end, lor if the
Germans do not break through
the allied line they will he vir-
tually finished.
The emperor Is putting every
ounce of energy in this supreme
ell'ort and if It fails it will mean
the end of German imperial ism.
The allies have superiority in
both men and amis and no doubt
is lelt as to the outcome on th(s
