"Bruues la Morte."

In a lost corner of the great low
land fiat of Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point of intersection of a network of
canals and waterways, there stands a
little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world as
Bruges, writes Niksah.
Fortunately for lovers Of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with its slen-
der bell turrets, its lacelike gables and
decorated house fronts has so far been
spared the general devastation that fol-
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call it "Bruges la morte"
and at every turn there is something To-
remind the visitor Of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of picturesquely
grouped tower, gable and bridge, of
wide tree-filled parks, breathes an at
mosphere of infinite stiffness and
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

and before their astonished gaze there
evolved the strangest stage setting
that could ever have been conceived.
First there came into view the sub
marine, occupying, as 1t were, the GEN.
ter of this stage, her bow sunk in the
ooze. her stern still lower. They had
been lying within a hundred PAGES of
her.
Next appeared the sloping edges of
the crater, seen, not through water but
through clear air, with a border of
yellow crinoids, ceaselessly stirring,
as though breeze ruff1ed them. Then
there began to be visible, in the TANKS
of the mountain, structures, appar-
entity, Of aardened mud, taking the
shape. Of fantastic temples, with pill
lars and doorways with low lintels, a
submerged city of cliff dwellers, and
yet each identical with it's neighbors,

but outlined in phosphorescent fire.
And, standing in front of Donald

through the glass of his own diving
mask, surveying them with a cool, dis
passionate gaze, was Ira MacBeard!
AS they stared at him, he raised his
hand and struck something suspended
from his neck, giving out the mellow
sound which they had heard before.
Immediately he disappeared from view
in the midst of a swarm of the mon
sters, which, surrounding Donald and
the girl, began to push them toward
the cavern in the mountain side.
The push was gradual, and appar-
emily the result of some natural quail

Trotzky Says SIavs Will Not Con-
sent to Proposals.
100000 READY TO FIGHT
Declares if Central Powers Do Not
Agree to Free Disposal of Destiny
of Poles 1t Will Be Necessary
to Defend Revolution.

Petrograd, Jan. 4.-The bOlsheviki
foreign minister, Leon Trotzky, de-
clared that the government of the Rus
sian workers would not consent to the
German peace proposals.
NJ Trotzky's declaration was made
before the central committee of the
council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates, during an address in which
he denounced in scathing terms Ger
many's hypocritical peace proposal"
Asserting that the government Of
Russian workers would not consent to
such conditions, he said that If the
central powers did not agree to free
disposal of the destiny of the Polish
and Lettish nations, it would be urgent
ly necessary to defend the Russian
revolution. He said the needs at the
front would be satisfied, whatever eff
forts might be necessary.
Representatives from all the fronts
who attended the meeting declared
the troops would defend the revolution,
but said bread and boots were neces-
sary.
Fight Talk Resumed.
The Russian peace delegation off,
cially has suggested to the central pow
ers that the meeting place of the peace
delegates be transferred TO neutral
soil.
The halt in the negotiations and In
dications of a German refusal to re-
move the conference to Stockholm have
rox,iuo5 ,,,ivorco1 dicoucsion in potrO-
grad of a resumption of fighting, with
a greatly reduced army probably g.
100000 men.
Even the most radical bolsheviki and
the most ardent peace advocates have
been aroused by the German position.
They declare that q resumption of hos
tilities is imminent and express the be-
lief that it is possible to organize and
make effective small army.
Indications are that the German at
titude is harmonizing domestic differ
ences and is convincing Russians that
they must fight to save their revolu-
tionary principles.
Suggests Stockholm.
Chairman Joffe of the Russian peace
delegation sent an official telegram to
the chairman of the Austro-G German,
Bulgarian and Turkish delegations,
saying the Russian republic deemed 1t
necessary to conduct further peace ne
gotiations on neutral soil and suggest
ing a transfer of the conference to
Stockholm. The telegram declares that
replies to the message are expected by
Russia in PetrOgrad.
Teuton Mask OFF,
Petrograd newspapers are unani-
nous in declaring that the Germans
and Austrians have, after one week,
thrown off the mask and made 1t clear
that the central powers do not want a
real democratic peace.
Replying to the Russian protest, the
German foreign minister, Doctor Won
Kuehlmann, has confirmed Germanys
refusal to issue passports to Hugo
Haase, Georg Ledebour and Carl Kaut-
sky, Socialists, who desired to go to
Stockholm to attend an unofficial peace
conference.
The German government believed,
he said, that the progress of peace ne
gotiations might be hindered by an I'M
official conference held simultaneously
with the official negotiations.

\ SILK SUIT OR WOOL.

Already a good many women are
asking themselves this question:
Shall my new spring suit be of wool
or Of silk? Which would prove
most ecOnomic2 Which would be
the more patriotic for every pur-
chase these days must involve a pa
triOtic consideration.
An effort has been made to en-
courage women in buying silk in
stead of wool whenever this is pos
sible. Wool is necessary for the SOL
diers and a certain amount of il is
necessary for our own winter cloth
es. For this reason whenever we
can use silk as a substitute it has
been decided that we ought to do so.
Moreover, wooden materials are so
high that il is no longer any more
expensive to purchase a silk suit
than a wooden one II is not that
silk is cheaper-though silk manu-
facturers insist that silk was never
put out in more reasonable prices,
considering the high standard of
quality maintained-but that wool is
more expensive.
One way of getting around the
situation will be 10 make suits of
silks and wool. Many women will
