This is part Of his letter: !.
.T'ather may be right about the al

from the frghtful casualties of the

only thing to be regretted is that we

AFTER four months along the firing

American girl had similar effect on
me as imagine either has on q Boone

over the top Of the tracks to where
they we're.
''One of them was digging trench
with her parasol in the mortar be-
tween bricks in wall ana since she
appeared lonesome, decided to talk
to her. Begging her pardon for in
terrupting her dream OF State street,

not in the habit of accosting strange
ladies in this manner; that had not
conversed with lady who could speak
English in four months. and II she felt
like 1t to 60 ahead and scold me for

AN OLD CLAIM REVIVED

Germany is in the position Of a blus-
;ering bully, who, after long years OF
successful brow beating. Is finally
brought to terms. For over half a
century Denmark has been living I'M

now even Denmark has summoned up
courage enough 10 demand the correc-
ton Of wrongs, long suffered in ST.
lence. When Germany robbed Den
mark OF Schlesweg-Holstein, in 1864,
the treaty provided For a plebiscite by
which the people were 10 decide
whether they would prefer German
to Danish allegiance. Germany con-
veniently forgot all about this plebis-
cite. It was never had; and Germany
cody annexed the province without a
vote Of the people.
Now Denmark thinks that her time
may be at hand. II Germany Is called
UPON 10 settle for all her crimes

THE GRAND DUKE
NICHOLAS

One OF the mysteries OF the many
mysteries Of the war IS what has be-
come Of tho Grand Duke Nicholas?
From time to time more or less
authentic reports have been received
Of his death by disease, Of his execu-
ton, of his imprisonment and OF his
escape. Easily the most forceful and
the most respected of the Romanoffs,
a great many people have anticipated
that at some time he might reapear,
rally about him the conservative ele-
ments Of the Russian people, and re-
establish an orderly government.
The grand duke undoubtedly repre-
sen,ed the best there was in the Rus
sian bureaucracy. He was capable
soldier, a patriot. and commanding
personality. 1t is not likely tha. tho
mad orgy of Bolshevikism which has
swept over Russia would allow one 10
escape who might prove so dangerous
A foe to all that the Bolshevik desired.
Yet. if the grand duke has been muir
dered, or has been legally executed.
no authoritative statement has been
made by anyone in position TO know,
History works some queer and sud
den changes. 1t would be a startling
transformation 70 see this heroic Rus
sian soldier again at the head Of an
army and fighting for the Russian
state.
