Amsterdam, Aug. 16.—The first con-
nected story on the advance of the
entente forces southward from Arch-
angel, Northern Russia, is given in a
special dispatch to the Dusseidorf
Nachrichten from Stockholm. The
dispatch which is dated Aug. 14,
says:
Last Monday 6,000 entente troops
reinforced by 3,000 Russians, assem-
bled at Archangel and the same night
the order was given to proceed south-
eastward. Three thousand Russians
embarked on eleven river steamers
and a number of barges towed by
tugs, the destination of w'hich was
Kotlas on the Dvina river. The re-
mainder of the troops marched along
the Archangel-Vologda railway with
orders to halt at Trusanovskaya, sev-
enty miles south of Archangel.
The flotilla was first fired from
both river banks near Kakutzkaya
and a half mile further on encounter-
ed a barricade of sunken boats which
impeded further progress. Here the
troops were compelled to land to
await fresh orders. Nor did the land j
troops reach their goal. They en-
countered their first resistance by the
Soviet troops at the point where the
Log river bisects the railway. The
entente forces halted here. This
movement seemed a feint and (he
main operation apparently is on the
Dvina river. V
Monday night there arrived at Solo-
mbolsk near Archangel four trans-
ports from which an American con-
tingent was transferred directly to
barges in the mopth of the river with-
out touching at Archangel.
Admiral Kemp (British) on Mon-
day issued a proclamation to (he Rus-
sians, saying that the Moscow rulers
liad betrayed Russia to the kaiser,
who now was sending troops to de-
stroy the liberty gained by the expen-
diture of so much blood.

London, Aug. 17.—The British have

neighborhood of Vieux-Berquitt at the I
apex of the Lys salient.
On the Vesle front, where the
American troops are in line, only ar-
tillery fire and raids have been re-
ported.
Paris, Aug. 17.—In the region south
of Roye, the French have made fur-
ther progress at Loges wood, says the
official statement today. There was
artillery fighting west of Roye last

Amsterdam, July 20.—(Correspond-
ence)—The moral deterioration of
the German nation in consequence of
wartime trials is greatly troubling
clear-minded observers of the Fath-
erland. The Luthern synod of Berlin
the other day called a special meet-
ing to discuss how to deal with the
dissolute ways of the thousands of
young munition workers, male and
female, who habitually squander
their high wages in riotous living and
immorality. It was agreed that most
of the youth of the country seemed
to be entirely beyond control.
Much has already been written
ab’out the unsafety of the public
streets, and the general callous in-
difference to the sufferings of others.
This seems to apply to the whole of
Germany.
“Every man’s hand sfeems to be
against his neighbor,” the Cologne
Gazette despairingly exclaims, and
it devotes a whole article to the In-
tense latent anger of the populace at
the extortions to which it is subject-
ed by the unscrupulous methods of
tradesmen, who, in their turn are
made the victims of deficient govern-
ment control and the usurious prac-
tices of producers.
Popular discontent is fanned by an-
nouncements of extravagant profits

which supplies the army. It operated

Great Britain stands far higher than
that stupendous great power which
sold itself to the imperialists with
secret treaties.
“We cannot now conceal the fact
that we are in favor of defense. We

Sarcastic comment abounds in re-

their recently acquired wealth in the
faces of their less-favored fellow cit-’

Insurance That Insures!
You cannot afford to insure yourself; otherwise you would
not need insurance.
The same reasons that prompted you to carry insurance
should, upon dde inquiry, admonish you perhaps to take out
more insurance, because of the increased cost of building ma-
terials, labor, and nearly every other item of expense entering
into the cost of making repairs, ©rebuilding after a fire.
