GKRMA.N DOMINANCE
Petrograd,—One ot" the first re" I
,quesca put before the Russian dele- 1
S^tee at Brest-I-itovsk, according to
the Pet-rograd newspapers, "was a de
mand from Emperor William for tha
safe*guarding of the former Russian
Empress Alexandra Alix. The fol- j
lowing account of this incident is j
taJcou from the Wogyn Courier: j
At the first meeting, a,fter the |
lepresentatives of the ISolsheviki
government and tho delegates of
the Russian armv had assembled in
the large room which had been de
voted to the meeting. General von
Hoffma n with liis staff came i>n.
Th« two parties bowed to one an
other and the Russians sat down at
Che table.
General Hoffman remained stand
ing and addressed them. "I speak
to you," he said ic a stern voice,
"not as the representative of the
German army, nsr of General Hin
denburg. i speak to you as the
representative of the four Central
Powers. I revues' youi therefore' to
stand while you hear what I have
to sav." ' •
The members of the Russian del
egation looked at one another,
'here 'was a littla hesitation, and
they stood up.
General von Hoffman) continued:
"Before proceeding to an negotia
tions respecting an armistice, I
think it necessary to make the fol
lowing a'atement. Within the area
of Russia. ia circumstances threat
ening her personal safety. Is living
a most august relatives of my sov
ereign master, the Emperor William
namely Prinress Alix, your Empress
Alexandra, •with, all her family.
"I demand that most decided
measures be instantly taken for the
■afeguarding of her person and for
her transfer to Germany under a re
liable guard. I request your im
mediate reply."
The members of the delegation
did n°t know how to reply, and ask
ed that they should be given time
for consideration ,and for consulta
tion with Petrograd over their di
rect wire.
Scarcely had »n interpreter
translated these words than Gen. j
von Hoffman, said, with & great
allow of temper. "I demand an in
stant reply." and struck the table
with, his fist "This demand," he j
continued, "is In the nature of an
ultimatum, in the event of your j
rot accepting 't, the negotiations;
will cease forthwith, and hostilities!
will be at one recommended by us." |
There remained nothing for the
members of the Russian delegation j
to do but to give their consent to
the demands made.
GREATEST SHIPYARD IN THE WORLD RISES FR OKI THE MARSHLAND
The greatest shipyard In the world Is In the course of construction at Hog island, near ruimuciviua, a
tract of tnarsh ami brush. The great yard, which is under the supervision of the United States shipping board, will
sot>n be turning out three completed ships a week fftr Uncle Saiu's emergency fleet. Fifty shlpways are In the course
of construction. They will cover a mile of the Delaware river front. Barracks have been built to house the 30,000
men who will be employed when the plant Is In full operation. There are also mess halls, Y. M. C. A. huts, a theater
and a post office.
GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS
Experiment! Have Shown These Pro
duce the Same Effect at the
Light of the Sun.
It is well known that glass exposed
for long to sunlight acquires a violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south are often distinctly vio
let. Experiments recently made in the
laboratories of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass in many colors, principally an
amethystine violet and an amber yel
low. but also green and bright yellow.
These colors, according to Mr. Ro
senthal, who conducted the experi
ments. are due to modifications of the
physical structure of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from a mere surface tint to
complete coloration of the entire sub
stance. And the same method can be
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass that has been colored
by lone exposure to X-rays Is that It
becomes Impervious to the radiations
that have transformed It. Thus It can
be used as a protection against the
glare of the sua or the snow and
again-t the X-rays themselves.
Russia and the United States.
The i>M autocratic government of
Russia was always particularly friend
ly to the United States. During the
Revolutionary war Russia offered to
inertia •!» for peace and h^r offer was
:.c • vd hv it'.e United States but de
elini d by Great Britain. Russia was
on>> of the first- governments to recog
nise the independer.ee of the United
Sr es and continned to show her trood
will by making treaties of amity and
eortimi n o with tlie United States. Sev
| erul of our early presidents In their
messages refirnd to "the continued
friend-hip of Russia." In 1SC3. Rus
sia pro:io«eil a friendly adjustment
thro'vh diplomatic channels of the
| If r. !.-ry line bet-.veen American and
i:: --ian possessions In the Northwest
: • I Previii>i:t Monroe authorized the
United Urates minister to Russia to at

said: "The government of the United
S'ufes has been de-irons by this friend
ly proceeding to manifest the great
value whieh they have invariably at

their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with that government."

This la no "fish" story as the terra
Is usually referred to. but It Is a story
about fish. Jim Foster, student of fish
affairs, vouches for Its authenticity.
Jim has a collection of big live fish
In a small aquarium In a down-town
restaurant and for 12 hours every night
he watches them perform.
"The fish are very affectionate," de
clared the fish student. "They are
pood-tempered and kind toward one an

They are 'married.' T guess, or else In

kiss each other good night and nibble
