SLAVERY or COLONIAL DAYS
More Than Hair a Million Whites
Were Held in Bondage During
That Period.

Could we draw the curtain which
conceals the life of prehistoric people.
We should see that the servant prob
lem is as old as the human race. In
deed, If it were possible for extremes
to meet, cave-dwellers and denizens of
twentieth century sky-scrapers would
doubtless converse sympathetically on
this never-ending problem. Its exist
ence is due to the universal desire Of
man to use the strength of others for
his own profit and pleasure-an I'M
changeable trait of human nature.
During the, colonial period Of our
history, service was performed in the
main by two classes-the negro slave
and the indentured white servant.

No Ideas Necessary.

Once upon a time there was a young
man who had urgent literary aspira-
lions, but nothing to say. In his ex-
tremity he went to the Sage and asked
him what to do about it.
Write, my son, write" advised the
Sage.
The young man followed this advice.
He wrote diligently, and 10! hts
writing became very popular and
his name was famous throughout the
land.
How do you explain it?" asked a
critic Of the Sage one day.
1T is very simple" replied the Sage.
CAS- the young man had no ideas,
there was nothing 70 distract him
from a strict attention to literary
style. which he developed to point OF
pefection.
But what is literary style worth
without ideas?" querfed the critic.

With the American Army in France,
March 6.-Shells have been falling
thick and fast within the American
lines and upon the enemy's positions
in the Toul sector.
Aside from a big barrage which the
enemy placed on the American posi-
ton at daylight in this neighborhood,
1000 projectiles have been dropped in
the vicinity of the terrain occupied by
tie Americans, many of them upon
towns. The American casualties,
however, have been extremely light.
The Americans continue to shell the
enemy and put down two barrages on
his positions. The infantry activity
was confined solely to patrol parties.
American Died Fighting.
The Americans searched No Mans
Land in the snow for the bodies of
enemy killed in the raiding. None
was found, but the body of one Amer
lean was discovered on the American
wire in front of listening post.
The man had on his gas mask. A
bullet had passed through his head.
Only two cartridges remained in his
rifle, which was found under his body,
and there were other indications that
he had died fighting.

'DOLSHEvIKI AGREE
TO PEACE TERMS
Berlin Announces Signing of
Treaty With Russians
Invasion Stopped.
KAISER CALLS OFF ARMY
SIav Delegates Accept All Conditions
in Fear Argument Would Result
in Even More onerous
Terms.

Berlin. March BY reason of the
signing of the peace treaty with Rus
sia," says the official communication
from headquarters, military move
ments in Great Russia have ceased"
Petrograd, March Sin the fear
that argument would result in even
more onerous terms, the Russian dele
cation ut Brest-Litovsk has accepted all
the German peace conditions and is
about to sign an agreement, according
TO a telegram from the delegates re-
ceived at the Smolny institute, the boil
sheviki headquarters. The demands
already have been increased, they re-
ported.
The message which was addressed to
Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis
ter Trotsky, follows:
''As we expected, deliberations on
treaty of peace are absolutely useless
and could only make things worse in
comparison with the ultimatum OF
February p. They might even assume
the character of leading to the pre-
sentation of another ultimatum.
''In view of this fact and in cOnse-
quence of the Germans refusal to
cease military action until peace is
signed. we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing its contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures. We, therefore, have re-
quested a train, expecting to sign to-
day, and leave afterward.
"The most serious feature of the new
demands compared with those of Feb
ruary 81 is the following:
ITO detach the regions of Karaband,
Kars and Batoum from Russian ter
ritory on the pretext of the right OF
peoples to Self-determinatiOn."

London, March 6.-Narva, 81 miles
southwes. of Petrograd and nine miles
south of the Gulf of Finland, has been
captured by the Germans and the
enemy is reported to be continuing the
advance on Petrograd, according to an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Petrograd.
Reuters Petrograd correspondent
SAYS:
1T seems improbable that the peace
treaty will be ratified by the congress
of soviets at Moscow March II.
1.-THE delay of a fortnight granted
by the Germans for ratification con-
stitutes an opportune respite for the
soviets, which probably will be utilized
in the organization of red army and
the development of means of defense.
by a decision reached at the ex-
cOmmisSaries-whi was published
before the signing of the peace treaty
the evacuation of Petrograd is con-
templated, together with a systematic
destruction of all stores of provisions
and war materials which cannot be
removed"
The Often-reiterated statement of
English correspondents that anything
may happen in Russia at any time and
that nothing need cause surprise may
possibly be illustrated by the develop
ments there pending the ratification of
the RussO-German peace treaty, ac-
cording to reports appearing here.
1t is said that q section of the boil
sheviki is in nowise pleased with the
surrender of Nikolai Lenine, the boil
shevik premier, and is inclined to join
the left social revolutionists, the war
spirit of which, according to the Daily
Nails PetrOgrad correspondent, pre-
dominates and constitutes a fOrmid-
able opposition to the peace party
This war party, it is said, advises
that the PetrOgrad governmental insti-
tutions be removed into the interior of
Russia, from where they can continue
to fight against the Germans.
1t is suggested that the congress of
the councils, called to meet at Mos
COW on March u to consider the rati-
fication of the peace treaty, will be
made the preteXt for evacuating Petro-
grad, under the excuse that it is neces-
sary for the governmental departments
to attend the congress.
Opposition to the Germans is said to
be greater in the Moscow and prOvin-
cial councils than in Petrograd.

sterdam forecasts the early resignation
of Lenine and Trotzky, the bolshevik
foreign minister, owing to their in

Scandinavians Protest Against

ALAND ISLANDS ALSO SEIZED
Berlin Explains Action by Saying That
Military Operations Are to Wipe
Out Rebel Bands and
Restore Order.

Washington, March 6.-Germany's
occupation of the Aland islands is
only a preliminary to the total occu-
patton of Finland.
Official dispatches to the Swedish le-
cation On Monday say Germany has
announced to the Stockholm foreign
Office her intention to occupy Finland,
and that Sweden has protested.
Germany advised Sweden, the dis
patches relate, that it was necessary
to occupy Finland temporarily to re-
store order, but gave assurances that
she had no intention to take perma-
nent possession of the territory.
Sweden protested also against the
Aland islands being placed in the war
zone.
The occupation of the Aland islands,
the messages say, is to make them
base for supplying the German Occu-
patton of Finland.
There are 500 Swedish troops on the
islands for police purposes. Their COM
mander was notified by the German
