tENTEN SEASON
 BEGINS TOMORROW
Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday FaIIs On February 17 and April
 4 This Year.

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, will mark the beginning of the Lenten season or period of pennance and ab. .stinence which will continue until Easter Sunday. which falls on April 4 this year. Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday come earlier this year than last. The first was observed on February 25 in 1914. and Easter on April 12.
 The members of the Catholic faith observe the period more than those of any other denomination. The mem bers of that faith not only are oblig- ed to fast every day from Ash We'd nesday until Easter Sunday, except in the case of sickness or where the member works laboriously, but they are admonished to abstain from all worldly pleasures as well.
 Catholics on February celebrated the feast of the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On that day all the wax candles used at the ser vices in the churches throughout the year and those for the Catholic homes were blessed as special masses. The following day, February 3, was the feast of St. Blazius.
 Septuageism Sunday, the beginning of the old-time Lenten period. fell on January 31. Beginning with this Sun- day the priests in the Catholic church don the purple vestments known as the vestments of penance and mourn. ing, at all the services. Purple vest. ments will be used at the services un- til Easter Sunday.
 The members of the Episcopalian church will observe the Lenten sea. son by special services in their churches and refraining from custom ary gayties.

GERMANY ID SEIZE
 STOCKS 0F METAL
Order Includes Copper, Despite All Previous Assurances of Abund-
 ant Supply.

ROTTERDAM, Feb 16-German papers announce the issuance of an official order directing that all stocks of copper, tin. aluminium, nickel, an timony. and lead are to be reserved for the use of the army. This an. nouncement comes close on the heels of the public assurance from experts that there is ample copper. at least for war purposes.
 Copper was one of the things Ger many did its utmost to obtain large supplies of long before the war. for the internal production is ridiculous ly insufficient for any war on a big scale. Only recently Dr. Ernest Noah. writing in Die Metal Boerse, said:
 "One of the most difficult problems in Germany is the need of raw ma. terials. It is however. fairly easy to get supplies of copper for war pur. poses. It Is estimated that 100000 tons per year are needed, of which Germany produces one-fourth, leav- ing the remaining 75 per cent. 10 come from foreign countries. But for the last five years 100000 tons per year have been imported. Thus the stores, including the inland produc- tion, have been increased to about 2,150,0O0 tons in hand, stock ample for all war needs. There are large accumulations in the stores, sufficient and to spare. Then there is a good deal of copper from used ammunition which the Army Council has collect ed from the battlefields."
 Despite all these assurances, the government now has issued an order practically communicating all metal for war purposes only. While trains are being deprived of all superduous metal fittings for the arsenals, and tram cables on systems in little ire. quented districts are being taken down for the same purposes.
