of Jesus commands our attention, be-
cause God has said that "Man shall not
live by bread alone" When Jesus called
Himself the Living Bread" It was to
announce the relations which He was
to sustain to the soul AS a body was
fed by bread, SO He the Living Bread,

ODESSA, Sept. 19.-The registration
here in connection with the elections
to the national assembly shows a some
what remarkable condition of affairs.
Only lis out of 1000 qualified voters
thus far have placed their names on
the voting registers. The fact that the
$4,000 inhabitants of this great port
are only allowed a single representative
led to action on the part of the mu-
nicipal authorities, who, anticipating
the failure of the elections, vainly pc
titioned the government to give Odessa
another deputy. The military restric-
tions preclude the possibility of an cleo
ton campaign. Advices from Kieff,
Ekaterinoslay and Kharkoff show SINH
lar conditions. Only four days remain
for registration.
The municipal council of Odessa has
resolved to ask the government to allow
the population liberty of press and
freedom of meetings, since the coun-
cilmen declare that full civil rights are
necessary to carry out the elections.

NEW YORK, Sept 19.--Four mys-
terious fires in three of the forts protect
ing New York harbor within the last
two months have caused the military
authorities of the department Of the
east much concern.
Two of the fires have been at Fort
Hamilton, one on the night Of July II
and the other last Friday night. On the
same night in July of the fire at Fort
Hamilton there was a disastrous fire at
Fort Wadsworth. The latest fire was
at Fort Slocum, on David island, in
the sound. Sunday night.
In each case there have been suspi-
cious circumstances concerning the
origin of the fires. Magazines, bar
racks, hospitals, forage and even big
siege guns have been destroyed and
damaged in these fires, and despite the
most thorough investigation nothing is
known definitely as to how the fires
started.
The officers in command of Fort Slo-
cum regard the fire there on Sunday
night as so suspicious that a court of
inquiry has been ordered to make an
investigation.
It is likely that an effort will be made
by the commanding officer of the de-
partment of the east, Gen. Frederick
D. Grant, to see whether the fires in
the three forts had any connection With
each other, or resulted from a pre-
arranged plan.
