GERMAkRUSS PARLEYS REPORTED
ENDED; HUNS CONTINUE ADVANCE
Situation in Petrograd Critical As 4..dicated by Deptultire. of
Anthassadors—Foe Advancing in Three Columns. •
A &tenet:eh from London says: A
ineseage received by the Bolshevik!
GovernMent in Petrograd from Bmt-
leitovsk, dated Friday, ordering* a
traln under militury guard to meet the
Russian delegates at Toroshatits, was
considered by the Government as prob-
bly eignifying that the peace 'lege-
tiaticamlutve been broken- off. accord.
'Mg to a Wireless communieation re-
ceived here from Petrograd Friday.
An altbnatum was handed to the
Russian Bolsheviki Government by the
German commander on the eastern
front on Thursday, giving the Rus -
slims throe days, in which t� sign the
lie= treaty demanded by the Teutons,
Coincident with this demand, the Ger.
limn advance into Russia has been re-
sumed. There are apparently three
coluraris of Germane advancing into
Russia. One is near Lugo, midway
between Pskov and Petrograd; one is
itmid-tv be. at Polotek, initiamy between
!Pinsk and Vitenalt, and the .other le at
Sebcr,h, 80 miles emit of DYinsk, An
offietei report enys that the German
troops had reached th6. right' bank of
the' Dnieper River, north of Kiev.
That the situation in Petrograd has
beeome critical is reflected in the re-
port that the Affieriean and Japanese
Ambassadors have reached Vologna,
!the capital of the Russian Government
of the same name, lying far to the
east of Petrograd. The British and
French Embassies have also left the
Russian capital, but nothing is known
a; to their destination.
Reports forwarded by the way of
London say that the Russian troops
are destroying railroad property and
burning stereo ns they retire before
the Germene. At no pointis there
serioue fighting reported, but the ad-
• Vane° of .the Teutons is said to be
eautioue.

JAPAN TO
PROTECT EAST
Ere' rite and America Agree to
C•milde Task to Japs Alone.
A despatch from Washington says:
nieutioris now point to an agree-
merbetween the Entemutei Powers and
America to confide to Japan alone
the task of taking such measures as
may be necessary to combat Gentian
aggression and influence in Siberia,
and to protect the military stores at
Vladivostok, No final conclusion has
been reaphed, however, and it was
said in high official garters Friday
night that conditions were changing
so rapidly and so many new factors
were entering into the problem that
it would be unsafe to predict over-
night what the issue might be.
A despateh from London says: -
According to The Daily Mail, it is
understood that the allies have decid-
ed to ask the Japanese to take any
stein necessary for the protection of
the allies in the Far East.
Stress is laid 00 the fact that the
British and Japanese intervention in
Russian affairs Is not to be conetrued
as an act of hostility to Russia or the
Russian Government. Its purpose is
to safeguard menaced allied interests
and to protect stores and munitions at
Vladivostok, and to assist Russia to
lighten and eventually lift the burden
of the German yoke.
URGENT REQUEST
COMES FOR FOOD
Great Britain Wants All That
Can Be Spared, and
Quickly.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
"Every carload of wheat or flour and
bacon or -frozen meat that Canada can
get to the seaboard is badly wanted."
!Such is the effect of a cabled moss -
age received from the British Minis-
try of Food by the Chairman of the
Canadian Food .Board.
"Compulsory rationing of meat, but-
ter and fats came into force on Mon-
day throughout London and the home
counties. Fourteen million people are
now restricted to about 1U pounds of
meat, 4 ounces of butter or margar-
ine and Iles pound of sugar per week,
By March 25 compulsory rationing of
these foodstuffs will be universal in
the United Kingdom. The congestion
on the railways in the United States
continues to aggravate the already
serious situation. Every carload of
wheat or flour and bacon or frozen
meat that Canada can get to the sea-
board is badly wanted:
"The Italian Government Commis-
sion states that the food situation
there is unchanged, but all the allied
countries are naturally affected by
the decreased imports reaching them
iota American ports."
