BY EDWARD W. PIcKARD.

Encouraged by the growing strength
Of the Fatherland party, the pan-Ger-
mans have thrown aside the mask they
have worn In their dealings with the
Russians and shown their true face.
At the last meeting Of the delegates
at Brest-Litovsk before adjournment
to January 90, General Hoffman told
the bolsheviki frankly that Germany
must have Courland and all the Baltic
provinces, and that If Russia did not
consent the German armies would
move at once and within a week would
occupy Reval. When asked about the
territory south Of Brest-Litovsk, Hoff-
man replied that Germany would set
tie that only with the Ukrainlans. The
request of the Russians for a recess
that they might consult on the Ger
man terms was grudglngly granted
with the assertion that no further post
pOnements would be allowed.
The Russian delegates thereupon
voted unanimously to reject the Ger
man terms and departed for Petrograd
to submit the question Of peace or war
to the congress Of soldiers and work
mems delegates, with which the final
decision rests.
That the Germans are able to carry
out their threats against Russia there
can be little doubt. The bolshevih
leaders realize their helplessness and
have issued ito all" an official wall
telling how they have been deceived
and how monstrous are the demands
Of the Germans. In PetrOgrad and
Moscow the bolsheviki are struggling
to maintain their power, putting In jail
large numbers Of their opponents on
charges of plotting a counter-revolu-
tion, and taking any other coercive
steps that promise to help them. II
they can prevent it, they do not intend
that their principles of "self-defnition''
and personal liberty shall apply at
home. They promptly dissolved the
constituent assembly because they
could not control it's deliberations.
So loud has become the popular out
! cry against the rule of the bolsheviki
and so great the disorder in Russia
that German parliamentary leaders are
seriously questioning whether it is
wise for the central powers to nego-
tiate further with a government that
may be swept away any day.
The Ukralnians, according to late
dispatches, are proceeding amicably in
their negotiations with Germany and
Austria and are about ready to sign q

Bravery Of Women.

The bravery Of women In fight Is no
new thing in Europe. Guizot, in his
History Of France from the Earliest
Times to 1S4s," in telling Of battle
fought by the Romans, under Marius,
near AK, on the borders of the Coenus.
against Ambrons and the Teutons,
wrote: 'aThe battle lasted two days,
the first against the Ambrons, the sec
ond against the Teutons. Both We're
beaten in spite Of their savage bravery
and the equal bravery Of their women,
who defended, with indomitabie obsti-
macy, the cars with which they had re-
NAMED almost alone in charge of the
children and the booty. After the wom-
en- it was necessary to exterminate the
hounds, who defended their masters
bodies. Here again the figures Of the
historians are absurd, although they
differ. The most extravagant raise the
number Of barbarians slain to 100000
and that of the prisoners to 10000;
the most moderate stop at 100000. In
any case the carnage was great, for
the battle field, where all these corpses
rested without burial, rotting in the
sun and rain, got the name of Campi

that he cannot dance with any other
partner he has found his rhythmic

there are such things as rhythmic af-

Handmade Chains.

In this day Of machine manufacture,
It viii perhaps surprise some to learn
that the making of big chains is large
ly, IL not entirely, confined to methods
dependent on hand labor. There are
probably no big chains being made in
The United States by the use Of ma
chincry. There are various appli-
ances employed, but these are hand OPP
Grated or personally controlled. This
situation appears to be due to two
things First. as the proverbial ex-
preston has 1t, "a chain is no stronger
than the weakest Of its Inks" A
handmade chain is naturally made
link by link. If the workmen are not
only careful, but conscientious as to de-
tails, there is considerable opportunity
for attention equivalent to continuous
inspection. The making of big chains
is largely an old-time blacksmith's job.
