( 'L O V E R D A L E , MAY SEIZE T IL L A M O O K RUSSIA Country Faces Prospect o f Becoming Colony o f German War L o r d - Teuton Centrists May Split. " London—Russia has been suddenly faced with events that may again change the political outlook, the Pet- prograd correspondent of the Daily Express telegraphs. Germany, he says, has apparently found that eco nomic dominion over Russian terrtiory is insufficient and is now seeking mili tary occupation. An extra session o f the Bolshevik government council has been held in Petrograd to discuss the situation cre ated by the ultimatum recently deliv ered by the German ambassador, Count von Mirbach, which embodied demands o f a character apparently calculated to turn Russia virtually into a German colony. Premier Lenine’s speech at this meeting was etxremely pessimistic, the corresopndent reports. Accordipg to the nwespaper Podnia, the question o f transferring the capi tal to Nijni-Novgorod was broached, as was the subject o f immediate mili tary measures for the defense .of Mos cow against possible aerial attacks. The situation in Ukrainia has be come so disturbing that the Germans have dispatched large detachments o f Bavarian cavalry from Flanders on the way to Ukrainia, the correspondent o f Amsterdam o f the Exchange Telegraph company reports. Word that fighting is to be renewed in Ukrania has been received from Liege, Belgium, according to the dis patch. The Bavarian cavalry detach ments are said to have arrived at that city. The likelihood o f a split in the Cen trist party, one o f the most powerful in the reichstag o f which Chancellor von Hertling is a member, is discussed in Berlin newspapers, an Amsterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company reports. Dissention has arisen over the chancellor’s Eastern policy. The newspapers say the anti- Hertling faction, headed by Mathias Erzberger, may be able to cause the chancellor’s fall. M. von Engel is quoted by the cor- respondent»as reporting the situation in Petrograd still precarious owing to the scarcity and dearness o f food. The Lenine government, however, is gain ing in stability and power, he says, subduing the unruly elements and mak ing an effort to reorganize the army. The number of unemployed is greet and industry is completely at a stand still. , The peasantry, who are the principal supporters o f the Bolshevik govern ment, the minister added, are still looking to that government for a free distribution o f land, most o f which in the meantime has been left unculti vated.

When money is lost, it is impossible to trace and recover it. The check is the best and safest method of making payments, as your money is safe and secure at the Bank until the check is actually paid to the rightful person and then you have the paid check as receipt for the money.
