think that all Of our troubles date to
that time
"Bnt this WIS real apple" replied
the prisoner. I'VE had an argument

Then some nosey neighbors called the

Petrograd. Central powers,
Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, told. the peace con-
ference at Brest-Iitovsk Christmas
solemnly declare their resolve tmme-
diately to sign terms which will ter
inmate the war on conditions equally
Just to all belligerents. The Central
powers also favor a general peace
without forcible annexations and in
IDENTITIES. They could not bind them
selves to such terms without a guar.
antee that Russia's allies would recog-
nize them and carry them out honest
ly toward the Central powers.
Count Czernin declared that the
Central powers believed the basic
principles uttered by the Russian del
egates could be the basis of such q
peace. He said they shared Russiaf
condemnation of continuation of the
war for the sake Of conquest.
1t is necessary to indicate most
clearly, however, the count added, that
the Russian proposals could be rear
ICED only in the event that all bellig.
erents obligated themselves to ad.
hire to the terms Of such peace.

Gas Attacks and Spies.

Three days after we had silenced
Fritz, the Germans sent over gas. II
did not catch us unawares, because the
wind had been made to order, that is.
1T was blowing from the German
trenches toward ours at the rate Of
about five miles per hour
Warnings had been passed down the
trench to keep sharp lookout for gas
We had q new man at the periscOpe
on this afternoon in question; / was
sitting on the fire step, cleaning my
rifle, when he called out to me:
There's sort of greenish. yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out iE
front, it's coming"
But i waited for no more, grabbins
my bayonet, which was detached FROM
the rifle, gave the alarm by banging
an empty shell case, which was haug
ing near the periscOpe. At the same
instant. gongs started ringing down thu
trench, the signal for Tommy to don
his reSpirator, or smoke helmet, as we
call it,
Gas travels quickly. so you must not
lose any time; you generally have
about eighteen or twenty seconds In
which to adjust your gas helmet.
