The Crisis in Russia.
CONDITION OF GOVERNMENT PRECARIOUS.
WHAT WILL Be THE OUTCOME ?

A great crisis, observes An.
thony Arnoux in the Boston
Journal,i is rapidly approaching in
Russia, and probably it will be
determined in the next two or
three weeks, whether or not the
present provisional government
will be able to gain the upper
hand or whether it will be over
thrown.
Mr.. Kerensky, who seems to
be the only real man the revo-
luton has produced so far, made
a very important speech the
other day, from which we can
estimate, with some degree OF
accuracy, the ~preearious con-
dition Of the provisional gov
eminent today.
AS we know, not only have
there been a very considerable
number Of independent republics
formed at points in Russia
which refuse to recognize the
authority OF the Petrograd gov
eminent, but in Finland and
in the Ukraine organized move
ments have been going on for
some time, whose object is to
make these important districts
completely and absolutely in
dependent Of the rest Of Russia,
and TO set up national govern
ments Of their own for these re-
gions AS these movements
run along ethnic lines, they are
much more dangerous than
those running along purely
political lines only.
Mr.. Kerensky urgently ap'
pealed in his speech TO the de-
mocrats Of both Finland and the
Ukraine not to break their
union with Russia in the strug-
gle for common happiness and
liberty" saying chat the dis
memberment Of Russia would
involve their ruin" But a gov
eminent which is possessed Of
much vitality or strength, does
cot appeal to parts Of its popu.
alton who desire to secede, and
The very fact that the present
government Of Russia does use

REFORMERS USE THE WAR AS AN EXCUSE To-
PUT THEIR FALLACIES into OPERATION.

elimination Of beer and light
wines and the consumption of
distilled liquors. Distilled Ii
quors are the real foe OF mans
kind. Whisky is the best argu-
ment for prohibition. But pro-
hibition is likely to promote the
use Of whisky.
War prohibition in Europe
has not extended to drinks Of
small alcoholic content. In spite
of the food shortage the Ger
mans still manufacture beer. lie
congress can devise means Of
preventing the sale and use Of
distilled spirits without interior
ing with beer and light wines,
it will do the country a real
service. We shall have made a
step forward in solving the
liquor problem.
There is a fallacy among
those of reforming mind that
war is a proper time for all
sorts Of radical reforms. The ops
posite is true. Radical measures
are necessary in many direc-
tons, but they should not be re-
sorted to unless they are neces-
sary. War calls for a maximum
of effort, and for that purpose
violent changes in condition
should be kept at a minimum.
The benefits to be c .cted
from a check upon the abuse Of
alcohol ought not to be counter
acted by the i'll effects certain
to flow from violent readjust-
ments, economic and social. The
country is undergoing a severe
experience, and must brace it
self for more. Congress should
see that caution and modera-
ton govern whatever measures
1t feels must be taken to carry
out our great task.

Col. Boyd Promoted.

Among the announcements OF promo.
tion, published the early part of the
week. was that of Lieut.. Colonel Boyd,
who was made full colonel. While it is
matter of qualification to Col. Boyd's
friends in Macon, it is not matter OF
surprise, as it is recognized charac.
teristic of his that he goes into any.
thing he is interested in with whole.
heart and soul. He has been interested
in military affairs for a rumber OF
years, and an army officer was heard tc
say several years ago that he could not
understand how a civilian could learr
and understand as much about military
as Capt. Boyd (as he was at that time)
seemed to know.

LETTER NO. 2

| promised to write you about
my work, but as this is quiet
sector, it may not interest you
very much. However, | 60 to d
post tomorrow, an old chateau,
from the top floor of which sec
tion OF the Boche trenches can be
seen.
We are quartered in a small
town a few miles from the tt encheS,
and from here a car goes every
other day to each of our advance
posts, where they remain for six
days. From these posts the ambu
lances run to the first aid stations
and to hospitals further back. At
present we are Conductors"
only; we never have to touch a
stretcher. So far our work has
been in the day time, though of
course, in a sector like Verdun it
would have to be done at night.
A few days ago was at one of
the advance posts. About five
O'Clock one afternoon every gun
within hearing distance opened up,
and as we were surrounded by bat.
teries, the roar was almost deafen.

Card of Thanks for Natchez Or

A collection was taken up recently in Macoh

ing receipt to the solicitor. Rev Father Hayden.
who was much h-belOved priest here for number
of years. writes the following:
Your letter and nice check of $40. 90
for our oruhans. thank you very
much, and the good people who helped
you 70 put this nice little sum together.
Won't you let them know how muct |
appreciate this, both on account of our
ar little ones, who are the sole bene-
ficiaries, and on account Il am vain
enough to think of their good will tow
ards the one, still perhaps remembered.
who makes this appeal every year?
Dear old Macon, how will ! remember
you and your noble people! How glad
used to be when my Macon Sunday
Aould come around every month, and
how glad, it seemed to me at least. my
dear people were to have me Those
were happy days. Twenty-eight years
have wrought a change. The little ones
there are grown and married and scat
tered here and there now, and myself
deserving of being ranked amongst the
aged.
Our asylums are doing fine work
In both we have over one hundred chill
dren, ana, by the way, you know what
that means. especially these days when
everything costs so much-labor. fuel,
clothing. etc Yet, thank God, we have
them in good shape. The children are
happy, plenty 20 eat, plenty to wear
plenty time for play and plenty time
for study. The Sisters and Brothers
are very kind to them, maintaining al
ways for their betterment a gentle but
firm discipline. We have quite num-
ner of non. Catholic children. We never
reject child on account of its religion,
nor, needless perhaps to say does
Priest, Sister or Brother ever interfere
with his religion. One is as dear to us
as another. You know, presume, how
we keep up and maintain our Asylums.
We get no help from the State. Once
year, about this time, we get the
Pastors Of the various parishes OF the
diocese, and the diocese embraces the
whole state of Mississippi, to solicit
contributions within their districts
They have always been very successful.
The cause is an appealing one. 1t takes
well. Nearly all that are asked respond
generously and wilinglX There is
really noble and charitable spirit
among our people; may God bless them
Our collections average about $4,000 90
yearly.
Thanks once more, and thanks to
my good Macon people in general.
THE blessings of the approaching
festal days to you all.
very sincerely yours,
FATHER HAYDEN

For She Has Saved the Soul

"France embodies all of

Beauty is her handmaiden, and

For three and a half terrible

STATUS OF THE NEGRO.
The Provost Marshal Says Negroes Sc
Iectsd viii Go First.

w 80 w
Allaying fears in Southern States
that white men subject to the Sc,
lective nratt under the new Iegu-
lations, will Ebe given places high
up in class one, while negroes al
ready selected for service and who
have not yet been called to train
ing camps, will be deferred again,
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has directed kilograms to the gov
ernor of Mississippf-.and other
States having large negro popula-
tion wherein he announces that
such is not to be the case. The
telegram sets forth the fact that
States that have furnished all of
its white men under the first draft,
and whose quota is yet to be filled
by negroes selected for service, will
be called on to fill that quota as
though the regulations had not
been changed. The telegraphic in.
structiOn to this effect is rs fol
lows:
"It came to the attention of this
office that there is some fear in
States with large colored popula
ton that the new classification
will cause the inclusion of of white
men with early order numbers
high up in class one and that the
result will be that negroes already
selected for service ard not yet or.
dered to camp will be deferred by
the classification 50 that the per.
centage of negroes that should
have been sent to the first draft
will be reduced with the effect that
the first draft in such States will
be made up largely or entirely of
white men. There is no ground
for this fear. Any State which
has furnished all or nearly all of
its white quota under the first call
and whose colored quota or any
considerable proportion thereof
remains deferred will be called
upon for the remainder of its quota
under the first draft composed of
as many colored men as would have
been included therein had the reg
lations not been changed. In or
dered to give effect to this plan
please keep accurately compiled
the number of white and the mum
ber of colored men selected in the
quota of each board to include De
cember 10, and on that date re.

Letters From, Artie Murphey.
Somewhere in France"
November 2Sth, 1917


November 2Sth, 1917.
Dear Beacon:
Here is a page from my diary,
which, though several months old
may be interesting to you. OF
coarse, | could not have written it
at the time it happened, but it is
SO old and so many similar in.
stances have occdrred since that it
can hardly be Objectionable now.
At supper we were told that we
would be in dock within few
hours, and some of the fellows left
their life belts below when they
came on deck. ] brought mine up
to sit on, but had just made up
my mind to take it below, when
queer actions of the destroyers
attracted my attention. The rail
became crowded at once.
Two other vessels off to the port
had come to dead stop, and ours
turned sharply to the stal board.
The signal lights on the destroyers
were flashing rapidly, aud one of
the little boats was running rapid
ly towards the other liners. Sud
denly it's bow rose high in the air,
as it CAM to a stop. There was a
flash and a puff of smoke from an
other destroyer, and at the same
moment a sound of heavy explo-
sion came from below. Our boat
quivered, lurched and came to a
stop.
Most of the passengers were put.
ting on their life belts, even before
the whistle sounded five blasts,
the signal TO stand to the boats.
| had tied the straps on mine so l
could carry it easily, and | was al,
most the last one at our boat.
There was no confusion whatever,
every one taking his place just as
we had done at life boat drill. We
waited for the blast to man The
boats, expecting any minute to see
tle boat list.
About ten minutes later the
first mate came up with the infor-
nati0n that our boat was not
y.ruck and tt at Uncle Sans little
destroyer had blown up the sub
>rarin" wi h deep sea mine, the
explosion of which we hi d thought
'aS the explosion of a torpedo.
One of the deck hands. an Eng
ii>hman, was heard to remark
Them bloomin' Yanks generally
g4t what they 90 after"
Next day we were welcomed at
the dock by bunch of Canadian
troops, singing "Smile, Smile,
smile" We made a fast trip
across England in one night, rested
IL Iew hours at a British camp and
crossed the channel the next night.
At the shipping sheds Tommies,
Australians and Sammies enter,
tained each other with their songs.
Most of the men were returning to
to the lines after a trip to
"Blighty.'
A,ler a three day trip by rail,
stopping at every place of any
size for from forty TO sixty minutes,
we reached our base. Here we re,
NAMED for two or three weeks,
assemble Z ambulances After hav-
ing been assigned our cars, we
made three day trip in them tC
the ambulance base. We left our
cars here, went to Paris, where we
rested d few hours, and then came
to relieve a Red Cross section.
We are now at the front with
the French army. But this is
enough for one letter, so | will tell
you of our work in another. Best
wishes for big Christmas and a
prosperous New Year.
