cial Work in City

Because the government has decided
20 protect with its own forces all pup

plan for guarding the city's water sup
ply by a force Of LOO aqueduct police
men was abandoned yesterday. over
500 men had passed the physical exam

has notified Police Commissioners WOODS
that the aqueduct will be protected by
Federal troops.
Al Police Headquarters IL was sara
that no reasons were given by the gov
eminent for its decision 20 protect the
aqueduct. and the Commissioners de-
clined TO talk OF IL.
According TO adyices from the war
Department, the move was made IN
keeping with the Administrator pol
lev to assume the burden OF all suen
duties. IL was said that the Admins
.ration feels that the situation makes
these measures chargeable 20 the req
eral government, which ought to bear
the expense.
While the adueduct police will not be
used for the work originally intended
u is understood that the 2lO men now
available for duty will be used by the
Police Department for emergency work
in this city. They will probably be as.

Russia May Receive
Exiled Doukhobors
Non-Militant Sect's Desire to
Return Sympathetically
Received

London, March 30.-The Russian
provisional government, says a
Reuters dispatch from Petrograd, is
disposed alphabetically toward the
wish expressed by the 10000 Doukho-
bors in Canada to return to Russia.
The question of their liability TO mill
tarv service will be determined BY the
Judicial Committee Of the provisional
government
Various military units, the dispatch
adds, are announcing spontaneously
that absentees failing 10 return Will
be court by reglmental
courts composed Of officers and men.
The Doukhobors. community oil
non-conformst Russian peasants. who
now call themselves Christians OF the
Universal Brotherhood, were first
heard of in the middle of the eigh-
teenth century. The foundation OF
their teaching consists in the belief
that the spirit of God is present IN
the soul of man and directs him by
it's word within him. They resemble
closely the Quskers. and for their be-
liefs endured much persecution.
Under Emperor Nicolas !. about
1850. the Doukhobors. who refused to
participate in military service. were
banished to Trans Caucasia. At the
beginning of the reign Of Emperor
Nicholas II in 1895 the Doukhobors
were prosecuted by Cossacks.
Through the efforts of Count Leo
Tolstoy and the Society of Friends in
England the Doukhobors were per
mitted 10 leave Russia in 1893. and in
the following year 1900 immigrants
settled in Western Canada, where they
have remained since.
