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.

A LOST BANK CHECK
When a Bank Check that is drawn in favor of a definate individ
ual or firm is lost, its payment at the Bank may be stopped.
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. An account subject to check
at this Bank will protect your money.
