DETAILS GIVEN
 ABOUT DEMANDS
 OF THE TEUTONS
Some of the Inside History of the Brest-LitovSk Conference Brought
 to Light.

PETROGRAD, AprlI 1O.-One of the first requests put before the Russian delegates at Brest-Litovsk. according to the Petrograd newspa- pe1s, was a demand from Emperor William for the guarding of | the former Russian Empress Alex andra AliX. The following 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 de- voted to the meeting, General von Hoffman with his staff came in. The two parties bowed to one an other and the Russians sat down at the table.
 General Hoffman remained stand ing and addressed them. '1 speak l to you," he said in stern voice. mot as the representative of the German army, nor of General Hin i denburg. I speak to you as the representative of the four Central Powers. 1 request you therefore to stand while you hear what 1 have to say"
 The members of the Russian del egation looked at one another, there was a little hesitation, and they stood up.
 | '. Before proceeding to any negotia- tions respecting an armistice, think it necessary to make the fol lowing statement. Within the ares of Russia, in circumstances threat ening her personal safety, is living a most august relative of my sov- ereign master, the Emperor William namely Princess Alix, your Empress Alexandra, with all her family.
 "I demand that most decided safeguarding of her person and fol her transfer to Germany under re- liable guard. 1 request your i'm mediate reply"
 The members of the delegation did not know how to reply, and ask ed that they should be given time for consideration, and for consulta- tion with Petrograd over their di- rect wire.
 Scarcely had an interpreter translated these words than Gen von Hoffman said, with a. great show of temper, 'I demand an in stant reply" and struck the table with his fist. This demand" he continued, 'is in the nature of an ultimatum. In the event of youl not accepting it, the negotiations will cease forthwith, and hostilities will be at once recommended by us. There remained nothing for the members of the Russian delegation to do but to give their consent tt the demands made.

 AFTER AN AUTO TRUCK

Frank Suffacool, the transfer man of Skagway, passed through Juneau on one of the recent boats on his way outside to arrange for the pur- chase of large auto truck for his business.
