February Little Better.
Average of Temperature Unusna!ly Low and
Sunshiny Days Very Few.

The snow of yesterday, measuring three
inches, brought the total snow for March up
10 25.5 inches, which is only three inches less
than the record March snowfall for tue last
twenty years, 28.5 inches in 1896. When all
conditions are considered, the present month
win probably go Town upon the records of
the local Weather Bureau az the worst March
in it's history. It has been marked by colder
weather and by fewer clear days than any
other March since 1897.
Yesterdays storm started at 2 am, slack
ened q Little, and then started again at 6
o'clock. At noon the weather was 80 threat
ening that Commissioners Fetherston of the
Street Clearing Department called at 700
emergency snow shovelers in addition to
5000 regular men of the department. AS
many as were willing worked until midnight
and were told to return to work at 7 o'clock
&his morning. To clear the streets eight
motor and twenty-eight horsedrawn plows
were put into service. while the emergency
and regular workers were directed to push
the snow into the sewers.
The cost Of snow removal for the season up
to yesterday was approximately $l,750. 900,
aud at the Office of COMMISSIONS Fe,herston
1t was said that the latest snowfall probably
would increase the total to S2,0oO,00O.
Foreclster Scarr and Assistant Forecaster
Reid comp led for The Times a table, show
ing that February ard March have been mark
ed by the worst weather conditions since
1897. The average temperature for these
two months has been 27.5 degrees, while the
next lowest temperature for the correspond
ing months was in 1914, when it was 80 6
degrees. For both months the depth of
snowfall has exceeded by one inch that of
February and March 1913, when the total
fall of snow measured 1856 inches.-I6id.

In his Order Of The Day, No. 2l06, circ''
lated among he troops, Hindenbnrg observes
thHt cases OF seif-inficted tte4th II Russian
regiments are perfectly unders' andable, b.
cause, like their French and British COM
rades, they behold inevitable defeat staring
them in the face, whereas he prevalence Of
suicide in the ranks of German soldiery, who
have proved themselves omnipotent and in-
vincible all along the line, can only be treat
ed as objectionable folly.
&C. have. therefore," the order procee Is,

Corps to leave no means untried to save the
lives Of attempted suicides. Officers guilty
of such an offence viii be degraded, but thy
must be saved precisely III order that they
may suffer this punishment. [ have brought
to the knowlfdge OF ALI other complaints

Moreover, their wives aud children will be
deprived of all rights and privileges, aud will

First and foremost a Jolly party, it was
secondarily a musical party. There was
something for every taste, serious and gay
though the latter p~re9ominated in the pro
gramne. The men screamed with laughter at
tle antics Of two musical comedians, joined
with the full strength of their lungs in The
chorases Of such popular songs as EVE
Greene's "Keep the Home Fires Burning,
which nowadays is heald %oftener than "I'p-
perary", AL applauded comedians like
George Robay, VII! Evans, G. ?. Huntley,
and Joe Coyne. The mnssed bands OF all the
Guards regiments could hardly have filed
the capacioua riding school with d greater
volume of sound than that company of sick
end wounded succeeded in creating when
tie American song, "Upidee", was given.
10 days entertainment was the second Of a
series OF three given by their Maiestlea, and
il vas enjoyed hugely by the royal party.
As for the others, one had only to hear those
poor SICK and woundel |, manned, and blind

WAR WOMEN.

CATER the war !"-no three words in the
English language has such strange and cryp-
tic significance just now, said Mrs. Norman
Grosvenor last Wednesday night at a crowd
ed meeting Of women clerks at Essex Hall,
Strand, to discuss the position of women
clerical workers now and after the war.
On the eve Of the war a famous German
said to her, 'Nhat your nation is wanting
in is foresight I"
As a representative of the Shop Assistants
Union Miss Margaret Bondield said that
in the distributive trade, where once one
woman used to be employed to five mon,
the figures now were five women to four
men.
"Whatever the rest of mankind is doing"
said Miss Violet Markham, cit is raaiantly
clear that one body is coming through this
war with flying colours anI that is the
women !-DuAy nat, March 4h.

MONKS AT WAR.
Serbian Monastery On Athos Raided.

The war has invaded the peaceful seclusion
OF Mount Athos. Bulgarian monks from the
monastery of Zographu lately endeavoured
to Dust their Serbian brethren from the
neighbouring monastery of Chilandari. The
attack, however, failed, owing to the strength
of the defences of the Serbian monastery,
whereupon the Bulgarians set fire to q por-
ton of the structure.
All the monasteries in the Holy Mountain
were fortified in the early Middle Ages, in
order resist the attacks of pirates.
Athos, the Holy Mountain, is well known as
the third and most easterly spur of the Chal-
cidice Peninsula, which is bounded by the
Cults of Salonika and of Orfano, and thus
comes within the Allied sphere in the Aegean.
The curious monastic economy of Athos
dates back to the 18th century. The most
recent phase i'll its evolution, the advent of
the Russian monks during last century, ex-
erted a profounder influence than any other
single event. OF the two rival monasteries
the Serbian, Kbilandari, is the more ancient,
dating back to 1877. It's treasure-chest con-

The adventurer turned out to be Lieute-
nant f.. j. H. Thayre, of the Royal Flying
Corps. He explained his experience by say
ing that after breakfast that morning he
went up, with a number Of others, on q
bombing venture from his station in France.
He had flown over the German lines when
the mechanism for releasing the bombs he
carried jammed.
Enemy aircraft furicusly engaged him
in the fight which followed he lost his map
and his compass, and at a height of a couple
of thousand feet he few across the sea. There
in the mist he lost his bearings, but after a
while he sighted land.

British welcome. He telephoned to London,
reported his adventure and it's happy issue,
repaired his machine, and next morning

her sister-in-law, Mrs. II. S. Hanson
OF West Bath.
Before the war;" says Mrs. Dennis.
Australians were not accused of be-
ing patriotic. Since the outbreak of the
war the people Of that PARKWAY con-
tinent have shown a fine spirit OF IA
trlotism. which, it seems, they are
willing to exert to any degree for the
sake Of the motherland."
Mrs. Dennis was living in Mel

was engaged in contract work for an
American firm at the outbreak of the
war and speaking Of the effect upon
general business conditions at the
time, Mrs. Dennis says: THE adult
population became extremely solicitous
OF the future. Business was almost
stagnated and new business was out
Of the question.
Young Australia manifested its
spirit. however. by noisy displays in
the streets. At the conclusion Of the

measure the immensely of the calamity
evidenced by this horrible war. We ex-
hort them in a most especial way to
make use of the example they set and Of
the benign power they exert in their
homes, i'm order to bring all the arms OF
their family to offer to God in this pro-
pitious time, in these days of salvation. a
continuous and more fervent prayer and
present to His divine throne the offer
ing of voluntary sacrifices which appease
His wrath.
Furthermore, the Catholic families of
all the belligerent nations will answer
more fully our desire if they devote more
particularly to such pious occupation the
commemoration of the Goldman in these
hours which His Divine charity has made
eternally memorable.
They will ask Him through the inter-
cession of His Mother of suffering, but
also mother of indomitable courage and
queen of martyrs. they will ask Him,
who has willed to redeem through His
suffering and make brothers all the sons
of Adam, grace to bear with magnanimi-
ty and Christian resignation the anguish
and very painful losses caused by the
var. They will beseech Him to bring to
an end the trial already SO long and so
terrible.
"And also because aims serve ito re-
deem the sins and appease Divine justice
we should wish that every family in a
measure proportionate to it's resources
make an Offering of mite in charity for
distribution to the poor and unhappy, so
dear to the Redeemer to succor especially
the unfortunate sons of those who died
in this terrible war.
I'm the hope. finally, that to these
works of Christian piety they will devote
themselves prompted by tender senti-
ment of humane compassion and more
strongly still, by the supernatural chart
| ty which must unite the sons of the
same, Heavenly Father, the families of
the neutral countries, we with our whole
| heart grant you and all the Catholic wo-
! men and their families whom we have
just mentioned our apostolic benediction.'
