Terrific Fighting.
This particular part of the battle

ence). -One OF the first requests put
before the Russian delegates at
Brest- Litovsk. according to the
Petrograd newspapers, was a demand
from Emperor William for the safe
guarding of the former Russian
Empress Alexandra Alix. The follow
ing account of this incident is taken
from The Wogyn Courier:
At the first meeting, after the
representatives OF the Bolsheviki
government and the delegates OF the
Russian army had assembled in the
large room which had been devoted
to the meeting, General Won Hoff-
mann with his STAFF came in. The
two parties bowed TO one another

table.

Of the four central powers. / request
you therefore to stand while you
hear what / have to say"
The members of the Russian dele
cation looked at one another, there
was a little hesitation, and they stood
up.
General Won Hoffman, continued:

tons respecting an armistice, think
it necessary TO make the following

reply"
The members of the delegation did
not know how to reply. and asked
that they should be given time for
and for consultation
with Petrograd over their direct
wire.
Scarcely had an interpreter trans
ated these words than General Won
Hoffman said. with a great show OF
temper, II demand an instant reply"
