HUMAN INTEREST

The following are just few OF
the little human interest touches
encountered in carrying on the
campaign for the sale of War Saw
ing Stamps:
A Minneapolis woman who has
been serving as 'fblock worker.
had been meeting with fair sue
cess in making sales Of War Saw
ing Stamps in her territory. One
day last week it was found that
she had trebled her sales in one
day. Henry Deutsch, the Henne-
pin County Chairman, called her
up by phone to congratulate her.
81 am working as one inspired
now" responded this woman.
my husband and / have felt a
keen interest in the successful
prosecution of the war, and
thought that we were awake to
the true situation, but 1 know
now that in reality the war was
far away from us. The night be-
fore last we received word that
our adopted son, fighting under
the Stars and Stripes in France,
had been taken prisoner by the
Germans. The news Frustrated
me that night, but the next morn
ing /. had come to the conclusion
that my duty toward my boy and
all other boys beneath our flag
was to sell more War Savings
Stamps than ever before. The
trebled sales are the consequence
OF the news received. l am over
my tears, and / am going to keep
on working

The blizzard of last Saturday
tied up transportation through
out Minnesota and caused a great
deal of Inconvenience, generally,
but it was not without it's bless
ing, for it furnished thousands of
boys and girls with an opportun-
ity to acquire one or more Thrift
Stamps. In the cities especially
the boys bounced on the Satur-
day blizzard as a great opportun-
ity to earn some Thrift Stamp
money, and they tackled the great
drifts of snow with an energy
which soon had the sidewalks
cleaned. 1t was big harvest for
them and they were immensely
pleased that the weather man
sent them the storm on Saturday
when they had day to keep at
the big drifts.

Tuesday with Leon Trotzky. the Boil
sheviki foreign minister. at the head
OF the Russian delegates. says that
Trotzky. In speech. insisted on a
removal OF the conference to Stock
holm.
Trotzky declared the Russians
came to Brest-I.itovsk. not as repre-
sentatives H conquered country
and did not intend to ask for pity.
but would continue to act as true
revolutionists. He is reported to
have told the German and Austrian
delegates that II they did not accede
to bis request they would feel the
weight OF the voice OF the democra-
cies OF the central powers and the
weight OF arms of the Russian de-
mocracy.
The Evening Post asserted that
the Germans replied they did not de-
cline ID carry on the Peace negotia-
tions. but that they failed to specify
where.
The Russian delegation at Brest-
l.itovsk includes. in addition to

dent, one woman. Madame Bithenko,
a former exile. and VI Joffe, NJ Ka-
meneff,. NJ. Pokrovsky and three

WILSON'S ADDRESS
AMONG THE GERMANS

Amsterdam. Jan II l-Comment-
Ing upon President Wilson's address.
the Nord Deutsche Allegemeine zei-
tung OF Berlin. says
"The fourteen points do not form
program for world peace, but real
symphony OF viii to no peace. BE
ginning with his joyful fanfare OF
freedom of the seas, and other
things on which the whole world is
agreed, even II diversity of opinion
exists regarding the method OF reali-
zatlon. Mr.. Wilson's Intervention is
not wanted. Having the opportun-
lty OF serving peace he has not only
failed, but has clearly expressed a
contrary intention.
Appealing to the self-determina-
tion OF nations. he presumes to In
terfere In the internal affairs OF Aus
Itrla-Hungary and proclaIms the poll
Icy OF doing violence to the nations
with disregard for all historical and
racial facts
with equal nonchalance, he finds
reason for the partition Of Turkey,
such as could only be voiced by a
man whose policy aims at playing
on, one against another, OF peoples
and parts of peoples who belong to-
gether and are conscious of their
homeogenity."
