PURELY PERSONAL.

The Herald and News has run for
many years what it terms a purely
personal column. This is not that
column but the editor received q few
days ago a letter which we are con-
strained to print without giving the
name or residence of, the writer. It
is in sense personal, and yet it is
not marked personal, and no doub.
the writer. if few Of the remarks
were left out, would not object to its
publication over his SIGNATURE. We
hope he will not be offended by its
publication, because if there is ary
one that should be offended possibly
it is the editor, but he is not in the
least sensitive on the subject

In all these years have the salts
faction of LSowing that the record
which is writ will bear out the state

have fought almost single handed and
alone for the people 10 move. and as
my friend says, 1 have fought for q
lone time to have the grade crossings
removed but the people would not be
aroused. and it is> gratifying to see at
least the hope Of any early furltlon OF
this contention. And there are many
things thu. could mention that have
been Cor the good of the community
for which I have fought, many times
ahead of the times, but many OF them
have been realized, and though the
dreamer who dreamed is not thought
of yet it is a pleasure to know thai
it is writ in the record and what IS
writ is writ nor all your pity nor ALI
vour tear can erase a word of it.

letter and desire to assure him tnat

also true that in some camps per-

government does not advertise the
movement of troops. and I reckon that

know any more about it than any ons
else, and yet we all know that If We
are to help fight this war the men
must be moved to the front just as
soon as they are properly trained and
the transportation arrangements can
be made pray that all OF them may
come back to us, but that is not prof.
able. But I want to see all of them
go like men and with determination
to do their duty and let the conse-
quences take care of themselves. And
that's what they are going to do.

CUSTODIAN WILL NOT
 SELL ENEMY PROPERTY
Except Where Concerns Are Being Liquidated Under License by War Board of Trade.

Washington March 5-A. Mitchell Ialmer, alien property custodian, in a statement isshed today, said there was no contemplation on the part of his office to sell enemy property in this country, except where concerns are being fiquidated under license by. the war trade board.
 Some misunderstanding seems to have arisen relative to the policy of this office in respect to sales of enemy property said the statement "A number of businesses operated in this country by persons coming within the enemy class or by partnerships in which a member is an enemy are beg ing liquidated under licenses issued by the War Trade Board under the su- peryision, management and control of the enemy alien property custodian. The property of such concerns in pro- cess Of liquidation is, of course, being sold. There are also in various parts of the country quantities of commodi : ties which are enemy owned and which may be sold to prevent waste, Outside of these cases, the alien prop erty custodian does not now have in contemplation any sale of enemy prop erty.
 Tt has been suggested that the con gress may give the alien property GUS todian larger. powers to dispose%of en- emy property. If such changes in the flaw shall be made. the matter of sales | of enemy property will then be giveI consideration

ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN IN
 RUSSIA AT ANY TIME.
A Section of the BoIsheviki is Dis
 pleased With Surrender.

London, March 5..The often reiter- ated statement of English correspon- dents that anything may happen in Russia at any time and that nothing need cause surprise may possibly be illustrated by the developments there pending the ratification of the Russo German peace treaty. according to re- ports appearing here today.
 It is said that section of the Bol- sheviki is in no wise pleased with the surrender of Nikolai Lenine, the Bol- shevik premier, and is inclined to join the left social revolutionaries, the war spirit of which, according to the Daily Mails Petrograd correspondent, predominates and constitutes a for midable opposition to the peace party.
 This war party, it is said advises that the Petrograd governmental in stitutions, be removed into the interior of Russia, from where they can con- tinue the fight against the Germans
 It is suggested that the congress of the coupcils,A called to meet at Moscow March IT. t6t consider the ratification of the neaee treaty, will be made the pretext for evacuating Petrograd, un- der the excuse that it is necessary fol the governmental departments to at tend, the congress.
 Opposition to the Germans is said i to be greater in the Moscow and pro yinciai councils than in Petrograd. r A Berlin despatch received in Am. lsterdam today forecasts the early , iresignation of Lenine and Trotzky, tn. i Bolshevik foreign. minister, owing t ltheir increasing unpopularity.
