Turning to the north, it already has been reported that Germany purposes resuming military operations against northern Kiihsia, and thi? report gains color by the announcement that the commiss.io.-i f-porsenting the central powers at Petrograd have left the Russian capital and passed within the German military line. The probable German purpose to attack the bolf heviki Is also indicated in a Vienna dispatch declaring that if Germany derided to resume military operations against Russia "the attitude of Austria" would not be influenced thereby. This -would seem to mean that Austria means to leave Gerj i.-any to hsht the battle alone in rorth Russia. Whether she hopes to keep up connections with the Petrograd government meanwhile ts rot cl'ar, hut a Sophia dispatch declares that P.ulgaria is doing that ery thing, having resumed diplomatic relations with Russia."

Through control of the nation's foreign trade, made effective today by the pre-sident's proclamation requiring licenses for all Imports and exports, the war board plans to stamp out completely all trading wdth firms of pro-enemy character, which are furnishing information, smuggling supplies, providing credits or hoarding for post-war purposes in order to give aid and comfort to Germany. To accomplish this result the hoard announced tonight that regulations have been prepared governing particularly the importation of certain raw materials, such as rubber, tin, wool, jute, etc., which every patriotic American citizen is ex pected to observe in whole-hearted fashion, livery effort will be made, the board announced, to administer the regulations. The slightest pos sible detriment to legitimate busi ness interests, but hesitancy or weakness in enforcing the regula tions was declared inconceivable when a pound of rubber or a few bars of tin might mean the death of scores of American fighting men.

It amounts to an attempt not to strengthen through education the character of the Indiana populace by recognizing a oremium on manhood, but to atrophy the power of self-management altother by depriving opportunity therefor. It is intended to force upon one class of worthy Intlianians an unwilling, an outward conformity to a mere appearance of strictest virtue in personal practices, as such virtue is gratuitously conceived by another class of worthy Indianians."

Armour and Morris Summoned Despite Protests of Their Attorney. Associated Press Service: CHICAGO, Feb. 16. J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour Co., and Nelson Morris, chairman of the board of directors of Morris I v Co., were asked today by attorneyn for the stock yard employes to appear as witnesses in the packers wage arbitration proceedings Leini; heard by Federal Judge Samuel Ai&chuler. Counsel for the packers protected against the summoning of their ci:ents, declaring that they would not be able to give any information on the subject being investigated that could not be furnished by other officials or by documentary evidence, but Judge Alschuler overruled the objection and decided the packers should appear. An unsuccessful effort was made to reach them this afternoon and another attempt will be made Monday. The arbitration proceedings are voluntary in character and the packers may decline to appear as witnesses although their attorneys sa'd they would use every possible effort to have them testify. Atty. Frank F. Walsh declared that if the packers failed to appear Monday he will appeal to Sec'y of Labor Wilson to compel their attendance. Counsel In Clash. Counsel for the employes and the packers clashed frequently today In discussin? the terms of the mediation agreement under which the arbitration proceedings are being held. At one point Atty. James C. Condon for the packers said in addressing Atty. Frank P. Walsh: "Why don't you turn around and address the audience as it is apparent what you are saying Is intended more for the crowd than for the ears of the arbitrator. "The public has a risht to know everything that is done here," angrily replied Walsh. Laura Covington, colored, who paid she had been employed by Wilson Co. and Libby, McNeil and Libby for several weeks a year and a half ago as a canner, testified sanitary conditions at the plants were bad and that colored girls employed there were discriminated against in many ways. She said none of the women earned more than 19 a week at that time and many did not get more. than $7 a week for a day of 10 hours. Counsel for the packers objected to all of her testimony, saying that the conditions complained of had been corrected.

Child Killed and Seven Persons Wounded 30 Shots Fired. !' ri: .t!onil News Service: LONDON, Feb. 16. A Ger-i;-.;.n submarine bombarded Dover at midnight, killing a child and wounding seven persons, It was officially announced this afternoon. The bombardment lasted several minutes and in all about 30 rounds were fired. Dover is an important British port in Kent and has a population of about 50,000. The announcement of the attack was made by Lord French, commander-in-chief of the home defences. Several houses were damaged. International News Service: LONDON, Feb. 16. Rritish raiders penetrated a German position on the Ypres-Staden railway (West Flanders front) last night, capturing a few prisoners, the war office stated today. Rritish casualties were slight. North of Lens and near Wytschaete the German artillery was active. THOUSANDS OF GERMAN ALIENS NOT REGISTERED Associated Prss Service: WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. Thou sands of unnaturalized Germans faled to enroll themselves with police or postmasters during the registration period which closed Wednesday and ere subject to Internment, it was shown today by preliminary reports on the registration reaching the department of justice. United States marshals and attorneys now are engaged in a careful study of the registration rolls and within a week will undertake action against those who neglected to report as ordered. Moßt failures were due to misunderstanding of the requirements or to dcubt concerning citizenship status, it is believed, and it is probable that these men will be permitted to register later and not be interned. The minority who refused to register, however, ia expected to furnish many recruits for internment camps. Department of justice officials today made it plain that a number of German women in the United States would be interned if congress enacts the pending bill to include women in the enemy alien classification. Since records of male registrants show facts concerning the history and c-oNduct of women members of families it is improbable that another registration would be arranged for the women if the measure is passed.

The casket draped with a large Rritish flag was UTted by officers of the 8 4tt royal flying squadron and placed on a caisson. Six horses drew the caisson, preceded by the band of the loT.rd field artillery and the firing party of 4 0 men with arms reversed. OFFER $1,000 PRIZE TO STIMULATE ART WORK NEW YORK, Feb. 16.
