Officers Club Has
 Elaborate Quarters
 For Petrograd Home

Petrograd,' Feb. 25.-The Officers club of Petrograd is probably the most elaborate housed organization of it's kind in the world. It occupies a large palace in one of the principal streets of the city, built around three sides of a spacious quadrangle. The enormous building is maintained largely at the expense of the state, and during the period, of war it is open, practically without charge. to Russian officers quartered e1sewh ere than in Petrograd, and to their wives and families.
 The huge reception rooms are de- corated with oil paintings and fine engravings presented by. various regi- ments, and many of them by the Emperor himself. On the floors above are 15O bed rooms, ranging in price from 30 cents to $2.5O a day. For the lowest price one iA provided with a capital bed room, electric light and hot and cold water. For the maximum figure an officer or his family can have a sitting-room, dooubIe bed room and bath room.
 A four course table d'hote costs 40 cents, which is remarkably cheap considering the high prices which at present rule in Petrograd. The club has been so popular that there are al least twelve applicants for each va cant apartment.
 The club also operates the inn mense Army and Navy Stores,'' where Russian officers and men can buy all necessaries and luxuries at practically cost price.

LIKE U. S. CANNED BEEF
"Frigo," as They Call 1t Has Cut War
Price of Meat in France.

Paris. April 29.-"Frigo," as the
French call American cold storage
beef, has taken SO well in France that
its popularity has. for the time being
at least, defeated the purpose of its
importation-that is to say, the cas-
ing of retail prices of meat.
The mayors of several suburban
towns having expressed the wish to fol-
low the example of their Partisan col
leagues and organize retail stores for
the sale of refrigerator meat, were in
formed that they must go slow, as the
imported article is rare. Many butch
ers who resisted it's introduction at
first are now selling it at the same
prices as fresh meat; in some cases it
has brought even more. The authori-
ties are taking the matter up and pro-
pose to fix maximum retail prices.

of Daniel de Leon, leader of the party
in this state. Such a union would heal
