THE YEARS VAR SUMMARY

The summary Of the years war operations which is
given in this issue Of the Herald is a compilation Of
facts prepared by government departments relating to
the specific activities of those departments in the work
of preparing for the military and naval opertions Of tho
nation. 1t is, therefore, an official record, and as such it
should be preserved for reference, because the facts
which it presents are Of constant interest, and it will b
necessary to refer to them from time to time in order to
our first year of the war.
The summary is impressive, not merely as showing
the manner in which men have been recruited for the
military and naval Establishments. but as indicating the
close and inseparable relations which exist between the
physical work Of the armed forces in the field and on
the sea and all the activities Of all our people. u<is
shown, for instance, that some 500 wooden mills are
working on army contracts; that 10000. 900 pairs Of
shoes have been ordered for the army. that 10000 auto
mobile trucks are being built for army use; that 10000
carloads Of material are used each month by the ord
nance supply division; that the government rs now opsr-
ating 100000 miles Of railway, employing 1909. 900 men
and representing an investment Of ST, 500, ooo, 900; that
more than 10000 acres OF land in the United states has
been planted with castor beans to supply oil for aircraft;
that government insurance policies for close to 81, ooo,-
100000 have been written for members Of the armed
forces; that the United States has loaned $500. 900. 900
These are some Of the things which, while they
belong to the war work Of the nation, are often over
looked when that work is being considered. Such facts
bring fcrcibly to mind the fact that in such, a war as this
there is no individua in the country who is not affected
in his personal relations by the war, and none whose
services are not needed,

KAISER DEMANDS
SAFEGUARDING
OF PRINCESS
This is one of First Requests
Made at Brest-
Litovsk.

Petrograd, April S.-One Of the first
requests put before the Russian dele
gates at Brest- Litovsk, according to
the Petrograd newspapers, was a de-
mand from Emperor William for the
safeguarding OF the former Russian
Empress Alexandra Alix. The fol-
lowing account OF this incident is
taken from the Wogyn Courier:
At the first meeting. after the rep.
resentatives Of the Bolsheviki gov
eminent and the delegates Of the
Russian army had assembled in the
large roo which had been devoted

ties bowed to one another and the

The members Of the Russian dele

wa a little hesitation, and. they stood
up.

II demand that most decided meas
ures be instantly taken for the safe
guarding Of her person and for her
transfer to Germany under a reliable
guard. I request your immediate
reply"
The members Of the delegation did
not know how to reply. and asked
that they should be given time for
confederation, and I or consultation
with Petrograd over their direct wire.
Scarcely had al interpreter trans
lated these words than General Won
Hoffman said, with a great show Of
temper: Il demand an instant re-
Diy." and struck the table with his

the event OF your not accepting it, the
negotiations will cease forthwith, and
hostilities, will be at once recon

There remained nothing for the
members OF tho Russian delegation 20
do but to give their consent to the
demands made.

The Russian peasants thought. and were persuaded,
that this war had no interest for them. Therefore, they
QUIT, proposing to- look after their own interests. AS q
