Y. W. c. A. ACTIVITIES

For the past week the gymnasium has had chronic Christmas tree. which was
 newly decorated for each group. A do- nation of many bright colored balloons serve not only as most effective decora-
 tions. even if they did require blowing
 uo before each party, but furnished great
 entertainment and because of the attrac- tive games played with them when a
 certain number were kept tossed up in
 the air. There is one more party sched- uled for Tuesday evening, this being made necessary because of the business rush preceding Christmas which makes l it impossible to squeeze in parties for busy girls until the rush is over
 The gymnasium classes will begin Mon- day, December 30. when Miss Walfram. the physical director. will have returned from her vacation.
 The classes in French and English will be resumed on Thursday evening at 6:45. l The fact that Mir Muchmore has so kindly consented to take on the glee club work. which the death Of Miss Daisy Dunlap left without a director, makes 1t possible to plan for the reorganizing of the club which will be after January & which will give the business college stu dents time to adjust their study hours | This group, which had planned such an ambitious programme. has also suffered | the loss of one of the leading sopranos through the marriag ge of Miss Ruth Steel to MT. John Warthingtons on December I24 Few girls in the boarding depart ment would be missed as will Miss Steel, not only because of her musical talent. but also for the fine spirit of co-opera- ton which she has evidenced all during her long soiourn in the residence. The glee club accompanist, Miss Hattie Jones. {, is Ill at the South Highland infirmary. so that one feels as if 1t will require | just what Mir. Muchmore has in the way Iof talent and personality to revive this lcliib.
 It is cause for genuine thankfulness that not a case of Illness developed in the boarding department during the holidays. his being the first lime for months past. This made for a fine Christmas spirit with no special honaesckness in evidence, Only 2 girls took Christmas dinner in the building. all others having eithei gone nome or were fortunate enough to have friends In the city who invited them 2fc dino.

with all it's members. This report is being sent by special courier Comrade I. c. Brossoff, who has to personally transmit to Commissary Podvoisky some information of a se- 'cret character regarding the sending to the Roumanian Army of those per- sons whose names Comr. Brossoff will give. (Note-Underscor marked "To Sander" All these persons will be paid out of the cash of the "German Naptha-Industrial Bank" which has bought near BOreslavi the business of the joint-stock company of Fanto & Co. The chief direction of those agents has been instrusted, according to Gen. Hoffmans indica- tion. to a certain Wolf Vonigel. QNote-von Igel,) who is keeping a watch over the military agents of the countries allied with us As re- qards the Tnglish and American dip- lomatic representatives, Gen Hoff- man has expressed the agreement of the German staff to the measures adopted by Comr. Trotzky and Comr. Lazimiroff with regard to watching over their activity.-Member of the delegation, A. Yoffe.
 Reported January 4. regarding the arrest of Diamandi and others.-M. Shitkevotich. January 5, 1918.
 To the chancery: Send an urgent telegram to Trotzky about the arrest of the Roumanian minister-Save- Jeff.
 (Note-as cabled to the Secretary of State Feb. 9.)-The date is Janu- ary 12, western time, the eve of the Russian New Year. The Rumanian minister was arrested that night in Petrograd, and only released on the united demand of all embassies and legations in Petrograd. Since then he has been sent out of Russia. The letter shows that Trotzky took Gen. Hoffman's personal demand as an or der for action Most important of all, however, it strips the masks from the Lenine and Trotzky public pro- testations that they have sought to prevent the peace negotiations with Germany from turning to the mili- tary advantage of Germany against the United States, England,' and France. The aim here disclosed is instead to aid Germany in stimula- ting feeling against England, France and the United States, in enabling Germany to prepare for an offensive on the western front A German bank is named as paymaster for Bolsheviki agitators among the Rou- manian soldiers. Is Wolf Venisef, the field director, the Wolf von 1gel of American notoriety? The similarity in name is striking. Finally, Gen. Hoffman and the German staff is satisfied with Trotzky's watch over the American and English diplomats. Yoffe, who signs the letter, is a mem- Der of the Russian Peace Commission. Since this letter was written Zal- kind has gone to Switzerland on special mission.

 Was shington, Sept. 1S.-The betray- al of Rumania and elaborate advance plans of Germany and her Russian Bolsheviki tools for suppressing and murdering loyal Rumanians, Russians and Poles, are exposed in details by t0day's chapters of the astounding se- cret Russian documents which the American government iC giving to the public. Other installments of the series have described how the .Bolshe- S wiki leaders, Lenine and Tr0tzky, and their associates were bought by tho Germans for millions in gold and en- eineered their bloody overthrow of Russia for the benefit of their mas ters.
 Now the story is of how, while the Brest-Litovsk peace conference farce still was in progress, the Bolshevi- sts were sending hired agents into Runlania to disorganize the armies of , Russia's ally, dethrOne the Rumanian king and turn loose the German arr miles occupied there for service in 8 great offensive on the western front.
 The second phase of the latest ex- posture shows the Bolsheviki at Ger man direction undertaking not only to kill refractory Russian generals, but to shoot individually, and whole sale, Polish soldiers who were refus- ing to be sold to the Germans and periodically keeping the field again. st their enemies.
 One of the documents transmits or ders from the German intelligence service to "take most decisive mea- sures, up to shooting en masse, against Polish troops" and to insti. ute surveillance of institutions and persons, including the Roman Catho. lie Polish clergy.
 Explanatory notes by Edgar Sisson, who obtained the documents, add many details lacking in the papers themselves. including story of how the Rumanian minister barely ecap- ed assassination after being arrest cd by the Bolsheviki and released through the efforts of Ambassador Francis and other diplomats.
