FOOD PROBLEM
N RUSSIA
sy Pae. and lntI NeNa servlee.

PETRAGRAD. Jan. 18.-Due' to the
lack OF transportation Il cility. the
food problem in Russia is 81 rious. The
Novoe Vremya says:
Demands for foodstuffs are coming
from all parts OF the empire and they
are getting more and more. urgent.
The large cities, like Petrograd and
Moscow, are short Of almost every
thing. II they have meat and sugar
for short time, then there is a lack
Of bread. When more grain and flour
arrive the meat and sugar supply is
used up. Something is always miss
ing.
THE laboring classes are suffering
terribly, although there is enough food
in Russia to sustain the population for
two or three years. In the rural dis.
tricts enormous quantities OF wheat.
butter, lard and meat are waiting
shipment, but the railroad facilities
are insufficient, and the transportation
service has been completely disorgan-
lied for many months. The blame for
these conditions has to be placed on
the shoulders of certain high officials,
who not only prevented the building
Of more railroads before the war, but
are also incapable OF running those in
existence efficiently.
Even in the Caucasus, only a
comparatively short distance from tho
| uro nf h.
population Of the larger cities faces
starvation. In some OF these cities the
bakeries have been stormed by mobs
and the military authorities had to
take drastic measures to prevent
| serious riots. .'.
! 'If the Minister OF the Interior does
not act quickly TO solve the food and
transportation problem grave disord-
ers are sure to follow, because hungry
mobs know no law. The question of
feeding the millions in the large cities
and industrial centers is more import.
ant just now than military successes
at the front The people must at once
be supplied with sufficient food. even
IL the military transports have to be
stopped for few weeks. The prom
ised great offensive, by which the
Baltic provinces and Poland are to
be cleared of the enemy. can wait
There is no hurry, because our army
will only become stronger, if the de,
Gliding campaign 10 postponed until
| Spring. or even later"

SACRIFICING THE BABIES.

BrOOkline, Mass, and East Orange,
N. j., are famous for their beauty in
that class of lovely towns usually de-
scribed as wealthy.
South Bethlehem, Pa, and Fall
River, Mass, are not by any means
beautiful, but they are famous as in.
dustrial towns, one for its steel and
the other for its textile products
In the two beautiful cities the
babies die at the rate of 7G and 78 per
thousand annually; in the two manu-.
featuring towns, at the rate of 233
and 229 per thousand annually.
The public health service of New

workers with annual earnings of $G6G
or more, child mortality was ia while
among those with annual earnings OF
$468 or less it was 200.

day were established by the Council of
Nice, A. D. 1926, the former always to
occur 46 days in advance of Easter
Sunday and the latter to be fixed by
solar and lunar calculations. Easter
Day shall occur, according to the Nj
Gene laws, annually on the first Sun
day on or after the first full moon on
or after the vernal equinox, which
always is March 21.
This indicates that the earliest date
on which Easter may fall is March 21.
The latest date is April %. Ash
Wednesday this year will fall on
March 8, and Easter Sunday on April
%. The next period in which Ash
Wednesday will fall as late as March
8 is the year 21O6 A. d.
Another event noteworthy because
of it's uniqueness this year is the be.
ginning of the year on Saturday and
its ending on Sunday. This gives the
year So Saturdays,tlTh This would occur
regularly every % years except that
the compilers of the Gregorian calen
dar provided that centuries not di
visible evenly by four shall not be leap

occurs, as did 1900, there is a lapse OF
forty years between leap years that

HOLY NAME SOCIETY.

The Holy Name Society is contra.
ternity of the Catholic Church, whose
objects are the cultivation of love and
reverence for the Holy Name of God
and Jesus Christ, and the suppression
of plasphemy perjury, rash oaths, pro-
family and impure or improper Ian
guage.
1t takes its inception from the
Council of Lyons, A. D. 1874, and was
instituted to make reparation for the
insults offered Our Divine Lord by
heretics. Pope Gregory X at once
commissioned the Dominicans to pro-
mote the society. 1t has been richly
endowed with indulgences.
The first Holy Name parade on rec
ord was held at Lisbon, Portugal, on
New Years Day, 1888, in gratitude
for relief from plague, which had
afflicted the city during the year just
passed, and which had been stopped
by mission of the Holy Name Devo.
tion.
The establishment of branches of
the society is the special privilege
Of the Dominican Order.
There are nearly one million men
affiliated with the society in the Unit
ed States alone.

TO MOVE WATSON TRIAL IF HE
FINDS NECESSITY.

Convinced of the culpability of
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, in vio-
lating the law against sending in
decent matter through the. mails, At.
torney General Gregory will not hesi.
tate to institute criminal proceedings
against him in some other jurisdic-
tion than within the State of Georgia,
If he is convinced that a fair trial can
not be obtained there, or that viola.
tions of the federal statute have oc.
cCrred outside of the State.
This he has made plain in a letter
addressed to Charles C. McCrory of
Ellaville, Ca, answering protests of
Georgia members of Congress against
reported plans of the Department of
Justice to prosecute Mr. Watson out
side of the State, ON the ground that a
fair trial is not to be obtained in that
State.
ISLANDERS, false statements and
threats such as are being indulged in

the future affect my duty as public

possibly the federal government might

PoNTIFFs' NEW BURIAL PLACE.


To overcome the grave difficulties
connected with the removal of the
bodies of Pontiffs across the city of
Rome to the Lateran Basilica, which
is the true Cathedral of the Popes,
a new burial place is being prepared
for the reception of the present and
future Popes in the Chapel of Presen-
tatton in the left transept of st. Pc
ter's. A kind of catacomb is now in
course of construction in the right
wall, the lower part of which will
contain inches for coffins, leaving the
upper portion free for monuments so
designed as not to clash with the har-
mony of their surroundings.
Pope Leo Kills wishes will, new.
ertheless, be respected, and his body
conveyed to St. John Lateran as soon
as public funeral can be convenient
ly arranged. Cardinal Merry del Val,
as the President of the Special Com
mission, has selected the spot tempo
rarily occupied by Pope Leo's remains
in the wall outside the Choir Chapel,
for the new monument to Plus KS
memory. The design for the monu-
ment will be definitely chosen at the
Eastern reunion of Cardinals from a
large number of projects presented
by Catholic artists in various coun-
tries.

SURE OF IMMIGRATION BILL,


That the immigration bill, with its
literacy test as the basis of admission
Of aliens TO the United States, is pretty
certain to become law at the present
session of Congress, whether President
Wilson vetoes 1t or not, is the belief
of the Capital now. A measure prac-
tically similar to the one that has
been reported favorably by the House
Committee on immigration was vetoed
by President Taft, and later by Presi-
dent Wilson. Representative John
L. Burnett of Alabama, chairman of
the committee and author of the bill,
is confident that it will pass the House
by more than a two-thirds vote. He
says he has 29O votes, out of total
of 435 members pledged to the bills
support.
The Senate for several years back
has been for the bill in about the ratio
Of four to one.
In the last Congress the bill, after
1t was vetoed, fell about Is votes
short of the necessary tWO-thirds vote
In the House. There is stronger sup
port for the bill this year on account
of the fact that the provision which
was in the bill last year, and was de-
clared to be obnoxious to Jewish citi-
zens, has been eliminated. The bill

HISTORIC FRENCH CHURCH.

Quebec, Can.-The Church of Our
Lady of the Nativity at BEAUFORT, near
this city, was destroyed Feb. 21, by a
fire which started in the sacristy. The
loss is estimated at about $35O,00O.
The Rev. L. A. Deziel is the pastor.
BEAUFORT is one of the oldest set.
tied parishes in French Canada, and
a site near the church was used by
Montcalm as an encampment when he
was fighting for the conquest of the
place in 1859.
In 1888 the towers were burned
down and afterward rebuilt. Thou.
sands of pilgrims pass through Beau.
port every year on their way to the
famous shrine of st. Anne de Beau.

reports were that the Cathedral at

CHURCHES LIABLE FOR
EMPLOYEES.

Members of churches of all denomi-
nations in every part of Pennsylvania
have discovered that they are liable
for the safety of their pastors, jani-
tors and paid choir singers under
the new workmen's compensation act,
which went into effect January /. The
result has been a perfect flood of ap-
plications for state insurance under
the act, and now fully 80 per cent of
the churches in the state have in
sured their employees. This is re-
garded by the members of the com.
pensation board as one of the greatest
triumphs of the operation of the new
law. The Catholic churches were first
to qualify under this feature of the
new act, the board believes, because
of their superior organization and
method of administration.
