There is no war news of especial interest at this writing. Minor activities are going on, especially on the western front, and the German forces in Russia are still pressing on toward Petrograd, despite the fact that the panic stricken Bolshevikians have abjectly surrendered to all the “peace’’ demands of the German government, and these forces are meeting with very little resistance. Unless Germany is finally conquered the great Russian empire is a thing of the past.

such as we have never experienced before. The Democrat is not an alarmist, but these conditions should make every one sit up and take notice. With March 1 at hand and the great amount of corn ungathered at this time, it certainly should cause people to ponder over what the next harvest will be, for we can’t harvest a crop unless we plant it, and the acreage planted this spring will necessarily be the smallest by millions that we have planted in a score of years, while the demands will be the greatest ever known.

ings—all frame, tar-paper roofed and unpainted as yet—and when one considers that only a few months ago this large tract of ground was simply farm lands he can scarcely believe that so much could possibly be accomplished in this short time.* More buildings are being erected all the time, and of course the improvements for the care of the boys are likewise being bettered right along. But the boys are all comfortably quartered, well clothed and well fed, and a more husky, healthful lot of young men can not be found any place than are these soldier boys. The rifle range, where the engineers are now engaged in practice—they will have some two weeks practice now—is located some eight or nine miles from the main camp, and the boys march out to the field in the morning and back in the evening, and Thursday evening the Co. B boys passed all the other companies but one in coming in, making the entire distance is something like one hour and nineteen minutes. A little hike like this is not minded In the least, and the way they step off distance would “lay out’’ a civilian in a very few minutes. Rumor has* It that the engineers will go on a hike to Fort Benjamin Harrison in the early spring, camping out en route, building bridges In spanning streams, etc., thus getting real practice in what lies ahead of them when they have entered actual service. The distance to Fort Harrison is approximately 125 miles.
