TIME BEFORE BATTLE
WORSE THAN FIGHTING,
SAY 1000 SOLDIERS
By ALICE ROHE

United Press Correspondent.
ROME, Dec. 1.--(By mail to New
York; The most terrible moment
In a battle for . soldier in tho ranks
Is that instant when the first bullets
come whiEzing by him. Suffering is
then at its keenest and that feeling
does not go away until the soldier
is given the order to return the are.
This is the conclusion Of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Mangiarotti, who has
Just completed interviewing 1000
privates snd many officers.
After the first depressing moment
of fear, the soldiers say, there Is a
feeling Of freedom, of exhiiaration
and the thrilling fervOr Of battle.
Mangiarotti asserts that move
ment gets rid of the fear and that
this Is the explanation for the sol
dlers' observation. He concludes.
further, that actual fighting Is not so
terrible as tho preliminary opera
tIOns before battle, for the horror of
war IL much worse before the fight
Is begun.

CONF FUCIAN|SM AS
CHINA'S RELIGION
REVIEWED BY YUAN
President of Republic Leads In
Worship Before Altar of
Heaven.

PEKING. China, Dec. % President
Yuan Shi Kai at sunrise today ap-
peared before the altar of heaven in
the chinese city and revived the wor-
ship. Of heaven at the winter solstice,
an observance neglected since the
] passing of the Manchu dynasty in
1911. In this the president of the re-
public took upon himself a function
and rite which, in the past, always
hase been reserved to the emperor
of China. in his capacity of 'Tien-
Tsz" or son of heaven.
The president today worshipped at
the famous circular altar. the most
/ important of all Chinese religious
structures. 1t is located in a sacred
park, three miles from the palace of
the emperors, and is surrounded by
sacred buildings This altar formerly
was regarded in China as the centre
of the universe.
Yuan Shi Kai submitted a bill to
the chinese administrative council in
January of this year, prescribing the
worship of heaven and of Confucius
for the president of China, and the
the measure was passed by the coun-
ell. This act was regarded as tanta-
mount to establishing state religion
for China.
During the deliberations of the
council, 1t was set forth that the
president of the republic should wor-
ship at the Temple of Confucius and
at the Temple of Heaven annually,
as had been the custom of the chinese
emperor Today's function appears
to be a carrying out of the purposes
then set forth. The president was
instructed on these religious occasions
to wear the robes of the high dukes,
designed during the Chow dynasty
in the year 1922 B. C. 1t was at this
time taken for granted that all the
old-time rites would henceforth be
established with Confuclanism as
the state religion, swinging back the
pendulum to where 1t was before 1911.
