GENERAL KAL.ADINES COMMITS SUICIDE
Trotsky Gives Out an Outline of Peace Proposals Made by the Teutons Which Were Refused by
 The Russian Delega les and BoIshevikis

to sign the peace terms as decided by delegates from the quadruple al liance at Brest-Litovsk.
 The acceptance of the terms gives Germany control of all the conquered territory in the former Russian Elm pire west of the present battle line and the nationalities along the Baltic pass under the Teutonic protectorate.
 Germany further announces from the signed peace proposals, it consid- CTS itself self-appointed committee to protect the Baltic provinces, and that the nationalities having already pro- claimed their independence from Rus sia, they have expressed their desire for German protection.
 Germany's scheme of Baltic control embraces Poland which it intends to make a kingdom with the establish ment of dukedoms for Courland and Liyonia and all under the protection of the German empire. Closely connec- ted to it by the treaties, this would carry German control to the Baltic coasts up to an including the region of Riga.
 Military experts here claim that the Russian masses will never permit the scheme to be carried out.

NE WENT THROUGH
 HELL WITH GEN. BYNG

The Grand Rapids Herald of Jan. 19 published the following letter from a man who went through the battle of Cambrai with General Byng.
 Dear Friend: To begin with, I am running a train on a narrow gauge, Is inches, and we use 12 and 15 ton Baldwins They pull about 52 tons. This morning to haul troops-an En- fish labor battalion. Our terminal was about three miles from the Ger man trenches. We started our drive but while I am writing they are still going and have covered more than five miles.
 'I had just got my orders from the dispatcher's office when they turned the guns loose and the chief said: Young man, you are going into He'll Believe me, it sure was.
 There were dead and wounded ly- ing all around, and I had the coal cars filled with dead and dying when started back. They have been haul ing them back all morning. It sure is hell Of sight-arms and legs shot off and eyes shot out.
 ''The last trip down l had quite a bunch of German wounded. I cant stop to explain everything, but just think of going between the big guns on each side all are splitting fire and shot at you and dropping shells all around
 But the Boche fire did not last long when our tanks started after them. You ought to see those tanks work. can't tell how many there are, but they were only 100 feet apart as far as I could see, and the infantry fell right in behind.
 "The Fritzes moved our boys down, but the boys fought, and finally they began to win with their machine guns. After the tanks got by the first line trenches the English had a walkaway and in a short time We had the rails laid three miles farther, where Ger mans had fled and we still are going.
 q expect call in few hours to go back for more dead and wounded and to take materials for continued line.
 We had quite a bunch of these Ghurkas from India wounded, and they had a string of German ears around their necks. They will wear them there until they are taken away from them. There is one of them here in the hut with me now. One of them can talk good English.
 q just went out and watched them bring in 500 more Germans. That is a great sight. I can hear the guns ringing again, and 1 know I must go soon. It will be big job when l go to the next line.

A CHEERFUL VIEW.

A CANADIAN In Oklahoma Ciy refuses to be down.
- cast by news from the British front In fact he re-.
main, quite optimistic despite the loss OF terrain to the foe
The basis Of his roseae view Of the situation Is that he
gurts the Huns losing three four men for every
Bfton who falls is captured On that basis, he holds
the result must be weakened German army after the drive
has spent ts force depleted by is bath q blood that II
can hardly hold the conquered territory Tor which, IN any
event II will have paid too high price.
Which may be faulty strategy, and possibly an under.
estimate Of the losses sustained by the allies bat It rep
vantage somewhat similar outlook was taken by Lieu
tenant MacQuaue Of the British army, who spoke here
several weeks ago when the Germans were giving out ad
vance notices OF the drive u. said that fine that
the British wee never so well prepared TO kill Germans
Al present and the that sent to the attack the
more would be wiped out by the engines Of destruction pre-
pared for their reception along the western front
While the 10" Of position, i, deplorablc, and the
psychological value Of gaining ground mus, he admitted
Is reasonably certain that the Germans have made their
gains remendou, price in casualties The story Of the
sdyane, in mass formations which the British gunners
couldn't miss evidence Of that That they failed to make
the advance scheduled also tends to show that the price paid
was heavier than contemplated by the methodea Teuton
war lords.
And always there is the sustaining knowledge that the
allies have the greater to draw upon greater re-
sources Of and money and materials Ship, we lack
but ships building with constantly increasing speed and
in the end we shall win IT, like this Canadian we hold the
will to win.
