The fol- j lowing account of this incident is j taJcou from the Wogyn Courier: j At the first meeting, a,fter the | lepresentatives of the ISolsheviki government and tho delegates of the Russian armv had assembled in the large room which had been de voted to the meeting. General von Hoffma n with liis staff came i>n. Th« two parties bowed to one an other and the Russians sat down at Che table. General Hoffman remained standing and addressed them. "I speak to you," he said in a stern voice, "not as the representative of the German army, nor of General Hindenburg. I speak to you as the representative of the four Central Powers. I recognize you therefore to stand while you hear what I have to say." The members of the Russian delegation looked at one another, "here was a little hesitation, and they stood up." General von Hoffman continued: "Before proceeding to an negotiations respecting an armistice, I think it necessary to make the following statement. Within the area of Russia, in circumstances threatening her personal safety, is living a most august relatives of my sovereign master, the Emperor William, namely Prince Alix, your Empress Alexandra, with all her family. "I demand that most decided measures be instantly taken for the safeguarding of her person and for her transfer to Germany under a reliable guard. I request your immediate reply." The members of the delegation did not know how to reply, and asked that they should be given time for consideration, and for consultation with Petrograd over their direct wire. Scarcely had an interpreter translated these words than Gen. von Hoffman, said, with a great allowance of temper. "I demand an instant reply," and struck the table with his fist. "This demand," he continued, "is in the nature of an ultimatum, in the event of your not accepting it, the negotiations will cease forthwith, and..." War will be at one recommended by us. There remained nothing for the members of the Russian delegation to do but to give their consent to the demands made. GREATEST SHIPYARD IN THE WORLD RISES FROM THE MARSHALAND The greatest shipyard in the world is in the course of construction at Hog Island, near Guernsey, a tract of marsh and brush. The great yard, which is under the supervision of the United States shipping board, will soon be turning out three completed ships a week for Uncle Sam's emergency fleet. Fifty shlpways are in the course of construction. They will cover a mile of the Delaware river front. Barracks have been built to house the 30,000 men who will be employed when the plant is in full operation. There are also mess halls, Y.M.C.A. huts, a theater, and a post office. GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS Experiments Have Shown These Produce the Same Effect at the Light of the Sun. It is well known that glass exposed for long to sunlight acquires a violet tint. In very old houses, the windows facing south are often distinctly violet. Experiments recently made in the laboratories of the General Electric company at Schenectady with X-rays prove that these can be used to dye glass in many colors, principally an amethystine violet and an amber yellow, but also green and bright yellow. These colors, according to Mr. Rosenthal, who conducted the experiments, are due to modifications of the physical structure of the glass and not to chemical alterations. The color can be made to penetrate to any desired depth, from a mere surface tint to complete coloration of the entire substance. And the same method can be applied to tinting porcelain, enamel, and precious stones. . An interesting and important fact about this glass that has been colored by long exposure to X-rays is that it becomes impervious to the radiations that have transformed it. Thus, it can be used as a protection against the glare of the sun or the snow and again at the X-rays themselves. Russia and the United States. The anti-autocratic government of Russia was always particularly friendly to the United States. During the Revolutionary War, Russia offered to intervene for peace and her offer was accepted by Great Britain. Russia was one of the first governments to recognize the independence of the United States and continued to show her good will by making treaties of amity and commerce with the United States. Several of our early presidents in their messages referred to "the continued friendship of Russia." In 1863, Russia proposed a friendly adjustment through diplomatic channels of the country between American and Russian possessions in the Northwest. Prevalence Monroe authorized the United States minister to Russia to attend to the matter. In doing so, he said: "The government of the United States has been desirous by this friendly proceeding to manifest the great value which they have invariably attained to the friendship of Russia and their solicitude to cultivate the best understanding with that government."

This is no "fish" story as the term is usually referred to, but it is a story about fish. Jim Foster, student of fish affairs, vouches for its authenticity. Jim has a collection of big live fish in a small aquarium in a downtown restaurant and for 12 hours every night he watches them perform. "The fish are very affectionate," declared the fish student. "They are good-tempered and kind toward one another. See those two largest fish? They are married. I guess, or else in love with each other. They always kiss each other good night and nibble affectionately at each other's mouths. The female of the two never puts her cold fins on the male one's back. And in the morning—say, it's amusing to watch them yawn and stretch themselves."—Detroit Free Press. A THOROUGH TEST One to Observe the Most Skeptical Skagway leader. The test of time is the test that counts. Doan's Kidney Pills have made their reputation by effective action. The following case is typical. Skagway residents should be convinced. Testimony like this cannot be ignored. Mrs. Ellen Watson, 405 E. Third St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "After an operation and being in the hospital three months my kidneys were weak. My back was lame and there was a heavy dull ache across my loins. My kidneys sometimes acted too frequently and sometimes not often enough and bladder trouble caused me a great deal of distress. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of all that trouble." On May 23, 1917, Mrs. Watson said: "I can never say enough in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me of kidney complaint and the cure has lasted." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Watson had.
