While figures may not be published,
was stated positively that transport

In view of this assurance that the

tain its place as a fighting unit on
the battle front,.. reports from the
Western front are being scanned
more eagerly than ever by officers
here for the first- signs of. the 1918

the opening of major operations in
what President Wilson, has predicted
• will prove the decisive year of the

GERMAN TREATY
MOVING DN TIME WITH RUMANIA
✓ Province of Dobrudja as Far as
• Danube is Ceded to
Central Powers.
A despatch from Amsterdam says:
1 A -preliminary peace treaty between
o Rumania and the Central powers has
- been signed, says a despatch from
Bucharest,
it • Under the terms of the preliminary
- Peace agreement Rumania cedes the
e province of Dobrudja as far as the
Danube to the Central powers. Ru-
mania also undertakes to further •the
transport of Teutonic troops through
Moldavia and Bessarabia to Odesso.
An official German statement said
Rumania had accepted the conditions
of the Germans for an armistice, Ap-
parently the signing of a preliminary
treaty followed almost immediately.
A despatch from London says: The
drastic terms imposed by Germany
updn Rumania, it is contended here,
not only definitely takes her out of the
war, but places her geographically
at the ''economic mercy of the en-
emy. All pretence of "no annexa- I
tions, no indemnities," is openly aban-
doned in the clause requiring "recti-
fication of the Austro-Hungarian fron-
tier,"which involves the loss of the
valuable- oil fields. The cession of
Dubrudja, not to Bulgaria, but to the
Central Powers, suggests that there
is a conflict in the Quadruple Alliance
over the division of the booty from
the spoliation of Rumania.

How to Restore Frozen Plants.
The proper way to treat frozen
plants is to place then at once in utter
darkness where there is little or ;no
artificial heat, as in•a closet or cellar,
-and allow them to remain without
light .until the weather moderates sof-
ficiently to thaw then': • .When the
plants have thus thawed naturally
they will be found green and fresh, and
then way he taken again into -the.
sunlight, If they are put into a cellar.
they should be covered with boxes, pa-
pers or carpets to prevent the light
reaching them, It is the sudden change
from extreme cold to heat that breaks
the tissues and causes the' plant ,to
die from loss of sap.
Is Knowledge ,olden?
A university president was com-
plaining about the worship of wealth
that has seemed to characterize the
twentieth century,
"A young man," he said, "asked me
which was the more estimable, riches
or brains.
"'Brains,' said 1, of course, but it
sometimes seems as if in these times
the only way for a man to convince;
people he has brains it to get riches."3•
One of the surest methods of reliev-`
ing pain is to use hot moist applica-
tions. The articles needed for this
treatment are: Hot water, pieces of
soft flannel twice the size of the area
to be covered, a, proteetor which may
be made of folds of flannel, or better,
of cotton, batting quilted betireen lay-
ers of cheese -cloth, and some kind of
a wringer. the flannel is wrung out
by placing it in the centre of a towel
and twisting the ends of the latter in
opposite, directions,, This: device can
be improved upon by staking; a hem in
either end, of the towel and running
sticks throu;l1 the,,llema. r, By twist-
ing the sticks in ,opposite directions
the flannel'can be wrpng'very:dry. To
apply cove[ the' palnfal, 'part with;
