Forty-five Ger man warships were approaching Re val on Wednesday, according to a mesage received by the Express from its Petrograd correspondent.

Viscount Milner, member cf the war cabinet speaking at Plymouth today, depreciated too much talk about war aims. "Until peace negotations are ren li ed," he said, "we are fighting for our lives and the very existence of the free nations of western Europe. As a result of the collapse of Russia, the military party of Germany is ncrain firmly in the saddle.

How a Popular Book Was Written. Alice Hrgan Ri"e has recently told the story of the origin of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." She says: "In 1900 a friend suggested that I put on paper some of my experi ences in philanthropic work, in which I have always been interested. The idea appealed to me, and I set to work at once. In un old, half-used business ledger of my father's I jotted down my story, writing around the entries and drawing pictures as I wer.t along. When I reached the last page of the ledger I ended my story, no more paper being handy, I suppose. Then I coaxed my father to lend me a type writer from his office, and I proceeded laboriously to hammer out those twenty thousand words with my two forefingers. 1 am not sure but that my real achievement, both to myself and to my family, at that time was in the typed copy, and not in the origi nal. The manuscript was forworded with many misgivings to the Century Company, where it mot a warm wel come, and the result was 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.'" ?
