THE B614HEVIKI A HHOC'R ,.
TO METHODICAL GERMAN
I was walking one night In the out
skirts of Brest-Lltovsk, says Simeon
Strtmsky in the New York Evening
Post, when I noticed a familiar figure
leaning against the stone coping of
the bridge promenade and gating
sadly into the waters of the River
Bug. I recognized him as one of the
German peace delegates with whom
I happened to be on speaking terms. I
asked courteously after his health.
"Well enough In the body," he said
"but my mind, alas, is giving way.
One more session with these Bolshe
vik! and I am done for.”
“And yet they seem to be pleasant
people,” I said.
“Pleasant, yes. But they are un
dermining my mental constitution,”
he Bald, pressing his hands wearily to
his temples. ”1 was born in Prussia.
For the space of 11 years I used to
leave homo for my school at 8:47 and
return at 3:53. I went to bed at
7:30. Then In high school my hours
were from 9:15 to 5:25. At the uni
versity I regularly took 25 minutes
for lunch and three-quarters of an
hour for exercise. My annual expen
ditures were 2,545 marks and 50
pfennigs, as my notebooks balanced
at the end of the year would show.
And thus it has been through my ca
reer. I have work by a system.
“But now the Bolshevik! dele
gates," he went on, “set a meeting
for 10 and show up at 2:30. They
speak two or three at a time. When
we say we are the victors and that
we ought to dictate terms, they say,
‘Oh, no, you have beaten us, but we
are the victors.' When we ask them
what they expect to do in case hos
tilities are resumed, they say they
will compel us to capture Petrograd.
When we ask how about their army,
they reply cheerfully that most of
the army has run away and the rest
is starving, and that consequently
they must insist on our accepting
their terms without changing a dot.
After a couple of sessions, friend, our
delegates from the central powers an
on the edge of nervous prostration.
The head of our mission cannot write
home because he has forgotten his
wife’s name, and more than once he
has been overheard calling himself
up on the telephone. I suspect a ne
farious plot. The Bolshevik! are plan
ning to drive the leading.statesmen of
the central powers in a lunatic asy
lum. and then they can work their
will upon poor Germany.”
ARCTIC ISLANDS
DISCOVERED BY EXIMjORER
FAIRBANKS. Alaska. Feb 8 —Sev
eral new large Arctic islands were
discovered northwest of Banks Land
in the spring of 1916 by Viljhalmar
Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, ac
cording to CaptaLi A. Lane, who ar
rived here last night from the Arctic
ocean bringing direct news from the
explorer, who he says is spending the
winter in the Northern seas at Bartel
Island. The explorer. Captain Lane
said, is preparing to make a 300-mib*
dash over the ice north and west of
the Western Canadian Arctic coast
during the summer of 1918. in search
of more new land.
Stefansson intends to leave his
present base next April and hopes to i
reach Wrangell island, off the North
ern Siberian coast, in July or August.
He will spend the 1918-19 winter on!
the island and end his explorations
by sailing thru the Bering Straits
to Nome, Alaska, in 1919.
Captain Lane denied reports that
Stefansson reached Fort Yukon, Al
aska. The explorer gave Lane mes
sages to the Canadian government at
Ottawa and the fact that the captain
filed them at Fort Yukon probably
gave rise to the belief, he said, that
the explorer reached the fort.
The islands that Captain Lane re
ported Stefansson had found, it is be
lieved here, evidently lie near a large
continent the explorer discovered
northwest of PrinCe Patrick island in
1914. Banks Land and Prince Pat
rick island lie near each other in the
Western Arctic and northwest of
them is a large stretch of frozen
waste heretofore unexplored.
