RUSSIAN POPE AT
 FRONT DEFIES SHELLS
 TO CONDUCT SERVICE

At the Front with the Russian Army, June 2-Under small tent dirnly lit by candles, a mile from the firing line a, Russian Pope conducted a midnight Easter service to the oc- compartment of an occasional can non s1not and the intermittent glare of Austrian rockets. It rained and the soIemn-face soldiers who stood with bowed heads before the improv- ised altar were drenched. The green and gold robe of the prelate contrasted strangely with the dun of the uni forms and the black and white gowns of a half dozen Sisters of Mercy who stood hudd1ed in the doorway of an adjacent cottage.
 Around the Pope's neck was sus- pended a crucif1x upon a ribbon of the Order of St. George, awarded for ser vice on the battlefield. Now and then the chanted words of the ser vice were partially drowned by the splaslling and grooming of guns and ammunition-carts 1umbering past through the heavy mud; but even tn e teamsters seemed impressed by the so1emnity of the hour and urged on their struggling beasts in subdued tones. Six rough soldiers composed the choir which assisted in the ser vice, their voices blending with the rising and falling tones of the Pope
 All evening long Austrian rockets in greater numbers than usual pierc- ed the bIaekness. Out in trench es; each little group of soldiers was hay ing it's own little celebration of this greatest of all Russian holidays The lights from their candles apparently had aroused the suspicious of the enc my. whose trenches as far as the eye could reach were at this h our a,lare at intervals under their calcium bombs
 Finally under his dripping tent the Pope turned to his rain-soaked troop ers elevated the crucifix and shouted /: Christ has risen" Mufmurs of re- sponse ran along the line and was echoed by the whfte-faced sisters, "He has indeed risen

 At Big Initiation

Probably 1000 more members will be added to Bridgeport lodge, No. 289, Loyal Order of Moose, at the big class initiation which will be held in the Casino in State street next Sunday afternoon at | o'clock. Arrangements for the big initiation have now prac- tica11y been completed by Dictator C.. L. Dennis.
 Differing somewhat from other fra ternal orders there is no roughness or horseplay in the initiatory ceremonies of the Moose lodge. Instead the in itiation is an impressive and dignif1ed exemplifcation of the principles of the order. As conducted by the big de- gree of the order in the big Casino O Sunday afternoon it will be both inn pressive and spectacular. A large or chestra will furnish music and there will be two good speakers. After the initiation there will be refresh ments at the Moose club, where the mem bers of the lodge will march in a body.
 Because of the large number to be initiated Sunday and to save the wait before the ceremony Dictator Dennis has arranged to be in his office all day Saturday to receive initiation fees. Sec retary Frederick E. Kiefer will also be at the club to receive dues.
 The state convention of the order will be held in Bridgeport June 15, 16 and IT. The state field day and day, June IT, and it is estimated 10,0oo men will take part in the parade to be held that day. Major John J. Hou- 1fhan, commander of the degree team, has been chosen grand marshal of the parade.

WON'T TRY KNAPP UNTIL SEPTEMBER
 CRIMINAL TERM

Herbert M. Knapp, who is now un- der arrest for defrauding depositors of the defunct banking firm of Burr & Knapp, says he will make good all losses if allowed to continue his pres ent plans. He claims to be doing bus mess and says he can make enough to reimburse depositors who suffered by his previous actions,
 Seated in his room at The Stratfeld, Knapp gave out a statement in which he said that many of the persons named in the warrant have been paid the full amount of their deposits. Many of them expressed surprise, ' he said, ''at the action of the state, as they had made no complaint to court officers and knew nothing of the pro ceedings against me.
 t.It is my aim, if I live long enough, to clear my name by paying every penny the firm owed. I have made money once and can make it again. ''
 Knapps case will not be called in the criminal superior court until the September term.

s5.2 compared with S7.2 year ago. Of spring blowing, 7o.4 per cent. had been completed on May 1st compared with 78.S per cent. year ago. Of spring planting 56.7 per cent. had been completed on May 1st compared with 65.3 per cent. a year ago.
 Labor troubles which have retard- ed the advance in some lines during the past month, are less in evidence at this time than a week ago, and the situation in that respect has inn proved. Traffic conditions are also on the mend; the month has seen fur ther betterment in the car situation in the East, and the opening of naviga- ton onTthe Great Lakes has provided additional facilities for the shipper.
 During the remainder of the year we should look, not for increases in business totals, but for a maintenance of present levels in some lines and slight decreases in others. The gen era1 settling into more normal vol Nurnes, gradual but reasonab bly, certain, is already apparent.

BLAST COMPLETES RAZING OF NORTH
 CHURCH BUILDING
Dynamite Tells Tower and Cloud of Mortar Dust
 Covers Street.

Dynamite completed the raging of the North Congregational church at Bank and Broad streets this morning After the footing, of the tower had been weakened by removal of several layers of brick, charges of dynamite were exploded at 6:15 o'clock this morning and the tower. fell with a deafening crash rendered more in tense by the splitting of wood from the beIfry tower fioorings.
 So loud was the sound that it at tracted several hundred persons from neighboring blocks who feared that some catastrophe had occurred. When the cloud of dust that enve1- oped the section in a pail had risen little remained of the structure but broken brick and large sections of masonry piled high within the en- closure.
 Sweepers were kept busy during the morning in that section of Broad and John streets, north of the struct- ure where sidewalks were covered with a fine white dust from the dry mortar of the old building.

NAVAL GUNS DO
 EFFECTIVE SHORE WORK

Paris June 2-The use of naval guns ashore in the present war it is pointed out by a naval expert is not a mere expedient resulting from accidental or incidental circumstances but as a well defined reason in the greater initial speed of the projectile of naval gun and the consequent1y longer range than that of field artillery. The new Services they render are due to the aeroplane which gives the gunner on land longer ranges Of fire than he used to get.
 The 15-inch naval guns with which the Germans occasionally bombard Dunkirk and Nancy are believed to be from ships lying idle in the Kiel Ca naI. They are utilized because they carry farther than the big morEars.
 The type of the naval guns would have been more commonly used on land for field work had it not been so much heavier and more difficult to manipulate than the shorter range field and siege guns Seven inch to eight inch naval pieces may be mount ed on railroad trucks but the recoiI of the larger ca1ibres is so violent as to require a solid concrete founda- ton.
