RUssIA's POSITION
Richmond Journal

Russia's answer to Austria and
to Germany, as voiced by Foreign
Minister Milvukoff, is as vigorous
and as decisive as expected. The
provisional government" he solemniy
asserts, twill continue to do its part
in annihilating German mllltarlsm'
with the greatest intensity. Our ideal
| is to prevent the future possibility
of war" No hesitation, no prevari-
caion, no equivocation. it IS a
| Observation-Disclosures statement
that should reassure the timld OIL
heart that the new Russia stands
four-souare with her allies. The Rus
SLAMS are not to be duped by the So
Ilicitude of the enemy in their behalf
They properly estimate the friend
shin" that is offered, knowing that II
the tenders are accepted the hands
that convey the peace terms will pres
emily be at their hroats. Besides why
should Russia turn back now, just
when victory is within the grasp OF
the entente powers? A few months at
the farthest and that for which mil
lions of human beings have been sac
r;ficed will be achieved.
This applies equally to the German
dead. They will not have yielded up
life in vain. Victory for allies carries
with it political liberty for the Ger
man nation, deliverance from Prus-
sian militaristic rule, release from the
baneful, selfish grip of the Hohcn-
zollerns. Count Reventlow, snrew-
dest of German publicists, writing IN
the Tages Zeitung, says: eve have
long expressed the view that German
victory and the German monarchy
are mutually dependent. Without a
German victory the German mon
| archv will soon cease to exist" This
is why we say the German losses VIII
NOT have been in vain. If their des-
cendants are able to enjoy freedom OF
speech and of action, that personal
liberty so dear to every american,
the price paid, though heavy, Will
haze rich returns.
In exchanging for the centralized
mower of military despots those Tree
institutions which. as Bonar Law
rointef, out in his Wednesdays speech
in parliament, mark the progress OF
civilization and on which tire welfare
of mankind depends, the German
lenefciaries will have cause 10 REM
en,bcr that the entrance of the United
States into the war was a marked
factor in bringing about so desirable
. state Of affairs. As President VIII
son has emphasized, it is the German
government with which we are az
war, not the German people, With the
downfall of the imperial military rule
will cunae the rule Of the masses and
that Will mean permanent peace for
the world. Speed the day..

NEW BISHOP OF ATLANTA.
Successor to Late c. n Nelson,
Educated at the Episcopal Theolo-
pical Seminary Near Alexandria.

Norfolk, April 81 Rev. Robert
S. COPELAND, formerly of Norfolk,
was yesterday elected bishop of AT
,anta. The election took place at the
session of the diocesan convention in
Macon, Ga, and was on the seven
teenth ballot. He was elected to sue
coed the late Bishop c. K. Nelson.
Mr.. COPELAND is a native of VIII
liamsburg, Va. and AZ years OF age.
He was educated at William and
Mary college and at the Theological
seminary at Alexandria, Va, coming
to Norfolk from the seminary to take
the position of assistant rector OF st.
Luke's Episcopal church, of which
Bishop Arthur S. Lloyd was then
rector. He, remained at st. Luke's
SIX or seven years, and went from
there to the rectorshipof Church IN

GERMAN EFFICIENCY"

An old fable tells us of don
key who had been sold to tanner.
The donkey is represented as lament
ing it sfade in these words: = am now
in the hands Of master who will not
only work me as long as live, but at
death will tan my hide"
The world has again been Mortified
at what is termed German effici-
ciency." 1t is stated that bodies OF
dead German soldiers are stripped
and sent to a factory where oils are
procured from the carcases Of men
who offered up their lives on the altar
of Prussian militar;zm.
The modus operandi of gath
-ering the bodies and conveying
them to factories brings to mind the
manner in which the large cities dis
pose Of CANNES during the dog days.
The animals are Melted, placed in an
iron cages on the river fronts ans,
drowned. The bodies are then taken
to a factory where they reappear in
the shape of shoe backing. The Ger
man soldier, after his decease. reap
pears in soaps, glycerine, lubricating
OILS. etc.
That the Germans are systemati-
cally collecting the corpses of THEN
dead and shipping them 70 rendering
plants where they are subjected to a
process for recovering the oils and
fats for use as fertilizers seems in
contestably borne out by the latest
information.
American consuls formerly in Ger
many who arrived in London after
their recall said the Germans were
distilling nitroglycerin from the
corpses and so obtaining the essentials
of explosives.
The Belgian newspaper LIndepend-
ence Beige of April 10 prints an ac-
count of the industry, in which it
says:
I'VE have long known that the
Germans stripped their dead behind
the firing line, fastened them into
bundles of three or four bodies with
iron wire and then despatched these
bundles to the rear. Until recently

THE HOME GARDEN.

America. like other comparatively
new countries, has for centuries, al
lowed large percentage of It's lana
r. lie idle. But few people residing
m cities have heretofore attempted
n cultivate the grounds surrounding
their homes. This has been especi-
ally commented upon by Immigrants
who come here from the crowded
centres of Europe where it is neces-
sarv to cultivate every available loot
Of ground. ;.
The rapidly advancing prices OF
the necessities of life and the partle-
ipation of the United States in the
present war has made it obligatory
upon people of this country to raise
something in the way of staple pro-
ducts in their back yards. Many
have entered upon the work with en-
thusiasm, and they are anticipating
the time when they will bring to their
tables corn, potatoes, lima beans, snap
beans; peas, lettuce, cabbage. cucum-
bers, ETC., of their own growing.
"A number of years ago native OF
the Emerald Isle who was then resid-
ing on South Fairfax street, this city,
produced the finest variety of sugar
corn ever seen in this city or vicinity.
The ears were long and full, and
would doubtless have taken prize at
country fair.
Many Atexandrians have recently
become agriculturists, and early IN
the morning and at late in the even
ing seed are being placed in the
ground and instructions as to the
mode of growing this and that vege-
table are being closely studied by
the amateurs.
A garden requires daily attention
There is always something to be
done, but when the fruit of our labors
arrives we greatly enjoy eating pro-
duce we have grown.
The home garden, we believe, has
come to stay, and long after the wal
shall have ceased many will doubtless
continue to cultivate their spare
ground.

live at the works. The men wear
oilskin oyeralls and masks with mica
eyepieces and are equipped with long
hooked poles. They push the bundles
of bodies to an endless chain which
picks them up by means of hooks at
intervals of two feet. The bodies
are transported on an endless chain
into. long, narrow compartment,
where they pass through bath which
disinfects them. They go through a
driving chamber and are automatically
carried to a great cauldron into which
they are dropped by an apparatus
which detaches them from the chain.
They remain six to eight hours IN
the cauldron, where they are treated
bv steam, which breaks them up While
thew are slowly stirred by machinery
The fats are broken into stearlne, a
form of tallow and oils, which require
TO be redistilled before they can be
used. Distillation is carried out by
boiling the oil with carbonate OF soda
and some part of the byproducvs re-
sulting is used by the soap makers.
The refined oil is sent out in small
casks like those used for petroleum
and is yellowish brown.
The fats are turned into lubricat-
ing oil and everything else is ground
down in the mill, the bones into pow
der. which is used for mixing WIN
pigs food and as manure. Mourning

Many surmises are being made and
