CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES

busy night after night in circunVent- ing the advanced posts themselves and
 bringing in their garrisons in small patches Without any reference to the main line beyond
 Instead of being a buffer to give the Germans warning, these poor posts
 have only been hostages to fortune.
 The stalking of them has been a game at which the Australians have been the star performers, and the dozen or so short rushes by which they pushed their line forward during the summer in the Morlaneourt area were inter- spersed with the almost daily and nightly bagging of single posts. We have come into possession of a series of orders addressed to the German ! troops there during those unhappy weeks, reprimanding them again and 1 again for permitting the Australians to outWit them. and warning them that this was the kind of fighting
 for which the Australians were pc
 culiarly fitted by their training in i ''wriggling through the bush" when at | home. The orders as a whole throw brilliant light on the completeness
 of the terrorism which the Australians had established over the enemy con fronting them.
 The German Press publishes the fol- lowing telegram from Stoekholm:- By order of the Czecho- Slovak au- i thcrities. the body of the ex-Tsar, which had been buried in the suicides cemetery, was solemnly re-interred in consecrated ground, in the presence of ! thousands of people from Ekaterin- burg and the surrounding country. | Herr MaximiHian Harden, in an arti- cle in the Zukunft on "The Will to Right" moralizes upon the life and death of the ex-Emporer Nicholas, a destiny. he suggests, with which the | fate of Louis XVI. compares as 1 Vatican compares with Memling The world, he says, will not forget l that it was Nicholas who procured for the idea of disarmament resounding annunciation and that the opening of 1 The Hague conference was for him as l the dawn of life. Retrospect may dis 1 cern in his character many signs of
 flickering weakness, but no ignoble 1 trait of will. If the second l Nicholas ever had a programme, it
 was to be mindful of the injunction of
 his namesake before him, to do on the throne all that in him lay in order to
 win from the masses that looked up
 to him forgiveness for the mon
 strous perogatives of the crown.
 Nicholas Alexandreviteh, whom only light minds can already name the last of the Tsars, the last even of the i Gottorps, sought to establish peace firm as a rock, summoned the nations to disarm and banned alcohol from Russia. That he Willed these three things history will some day write down to his credit in her book. His conquerors, who gave themselves out to be saviours of mankind, universal
 Messiahs, have worked in eight months more horror and woe than he wrought in eight years. All their
 attempts to translate the great French revolution into Russia have merely
 landed them so deep in blood that they
 imagine that they can earn Germany s
 commendation by reporting that 50
 far 1S0 persons have been shot on
 suspicion of complicity is the murder
 or the German envoy at Moscow.
 But Russia is not dead yet
 Never forget, he continues, that the
 might of Russia, still ungainly and like a child, cannot be broken from with
 out, nor, as our generals testify, has it
 been broken even in this war by any superior strength of Germany; only from within has this power been par alyzed for a season by the incom-
 prehensible miracle or, if you will, by
 the poison of Leninite world-cem- , munism.
 The Brest treaties, Herr Hardes declares, are crime, the unredeem- able sin of Austro- German diplomacy
 as represented by Count Czernin and Herr von Kuhlmann.
 The "Wyo" News, published "spas.
 medically" on board the U. s. $. Wyo- ming, reflects the abundant cheerful
 ness and the earnestness of purpose 2 which inspire the seamen of the Amer 2 ican Navy. The first two numbers art brimful of wit and humorous allusion : much of which appeals esoterically t the members of the ships company
 but there are some pithy sayings als, . . which everybody can appreciate. Thus opportunity knocks once at ever, mans door, but it never picks tn lock-" and again, When you are eat :, ing your stew, think of the boys in tn trenches and you will think you ar . eating at Delmoniee's." Some verse
