The Sisters of ST. Joseph of Caron,
delet, whose Motherhouse is in St
Louis, Mo-, suffered a severe loss in
the death, on June IA, of Mother
Agnes Gonzaga, for the past twelve
years Superior General of the Com
munity. For several years she had
been in poor health; but, neverthe-
less, the end came rather unexpected
ay. She was in the sixty-third year
OF her age, forty-four of which were
spent in the religious life.
The funeral service was held in
the chapel of the Motherhouse on
Saturday, June 16. The Most Rev
erend Archbishop Glennon celebrated
The Requiem Mass and preached the
sermon, in which he cxtolled the de-
ceased religious for her many fine
qualities of mind and heart, for her
unusual talents, and her deeply re-
Igious life and zeal for the welfare
of the Community and of the Church.
After the absolution, impaired by the
Archbishop, the remains were borne
to Nazareth, six miles from the
Motherhouse, and laid to rest in the
cemetery adjoining the beautiful home
for the aged Sisters.

PAPAL INFLUENCE GAINS IN

Reports declare that Turkey is
looking toward the Pope for aid in an
eventual separate peace. The rela-

key have improved to such an extent
that the Apostolic Delegate at Con-
stantinople has practically assumed
protection over the allied prisoners
held in Turkey. While requests from
the allied governments to send food
and clothing to the prisoners have
been refused, when the same request
was made by the Pope it was imme-

Subjoined is a brief sketch of the

He completed his studies for the

The Food Problem
Explained and Discussed by
Authorities

THE FOOD PRoBIIaL By Vernon KelSSE ana
AMI A,onzo l. TAYLOR VIII Tsacs u uy nsr
Company.
just now. when food distribution and
conservation is not only a matter Of
constant discussion but a great ma
tional problem, the value OF q book
which deals with it intelligently and
constructively cannot be overestimated.
This book might almost be called the
official handbook of the United States
food administration, since it is the
work of two of the members Of that
administration and has the indorse-
ment of the United States Food Admin
istrator.
The book considers at length the
food conservation methods adopted
abroad The stoical and determined
spirit Of the English and the manner
in which the civilian population stands
solidly back of the army are demon
strated by the fact that food conserva-
ton in England is largely voluntary.
The Food Controller. through a special
Director General of Food Economy
has simply asked the people to restrict
themselves 20 a prescribed diet. In
London three out OF four houses bear
the little placard "In honor bound. we
edopt the national scale Of voluntary
rations" In a certain small village OF
$50 houses 225 displayed the sign.
On the other hand, we are told that
the German of means never hesitates
10 evade the food laws and secure food-
stuffs Of which the sale is contrary to
- "a n a n
neal by the authorities that success in
the war depended in part upon the
maintenance of the food regulations,
producers were always willing 70 break
them, and so were the consumers with
means" This is an interesting psycno-
logical situation. Germany by the most
rerfect autocracy in the world has
trained her people TO do evil that good
that is. her own selfish ends-may be
gained. She has not hesitated TO en-
courage and foster .he most unscrupu-
lous methods of dealing with people OF
other nationalities. All mental proc
esses form habits, and habits have no
nationality. Having learned 10 cheat
others. that mental trait reacts on
those who have encouraged and los
tered II. In spite Of the most careful
and efficient planning and espionage
the individual German, true to MS
training, evades the carefully made
food laws of his country, well knowing
the danger &c the country if the re-
+ suits sought by those laws are not
accomplished.
Reports have run riot Of the starving
condition of Germany. Now we are
told BY those in a position TO know
that. while the amount Of food con-
sumed has necessarily been reduced
there is no hope of starving Germany

Revolutionary Russia

TALES OF THE REVOLUTION. By Michael
Artzabsshcf l2uo. ~. 2s6. b. W. Huebsch.
Russia is the chartered libertine Of
literature. II is permitted to indulge
in extremes of emotion and of passion
which would elsewhere be irredeemsbly
monstrous. 1t is permitted TO express
itself with a freedom and a realism
which elsewhere would be intolersble
brutality. Why not? Russia is physi-
cally so vast that its thoughts may ex-
coed the limits Of other lands, and it
has been so depressed that when the
letters are removed, what wonder if eX-
preston runs rampant. In the writ
ings of Mr.. ArtZibashef these charac-
teristics reach their present climax,
which may or may not be some day
surpassed He piles Pelion on Ossa in
accumulated passions, epithets, horrors.
His tales are a stupendous phantasma-
goria. Yet, marvellous to tell, they are
instinct with verify, so that we say,
elsewhere this would be impossible,
but in Russia even this is possible"

out. The industrial classes of Ger
many have lost weight. but they are
merely trained down like athletes, and
there is no evidence that the health OF
individuals has suffered, no increase OF
infectious diseases or ailments due 70
lack OF nutrition, and no abnormality
in the death rate. The writer's Of this
book out of the fulness OF their in
yestigation and their close contact with
the sltuation-and Professor Kellogg
was a member of the Commission for
Relief TO Belgium-state emphsticslly
that they do not believe il would ever
be possible TO starve out Germany,
even II she were completely cut on
from outside food supplies.
The second half of the book deals
with technical food values and has
sane suggestions as to a properly bal
anced diet and the most scientific
methods of reducing food in bulk with
out reducing it in efficiency.
We quote the authors conclusions:
Germany is fighting not only with
armies of men in feld-gray but with
greater armies Of n-uniformed men,
women and children-the civilian
armies of workers and food savers.
That she has not already
been beaten is due no less to her
food organization than 70 her fight
ing organization. She has put pa
triotism and food together. SO must

citation, patriotism and food. 1t can
be as fine as the spirit Of democracy
and as ennobling as the struggle for
democracy. IL we cannot
crisis by the individual initiative,
spirit and consent Of the people, then
democracy is faith on which we
cannot stand. For autocracy has
shown that it can organize its effort:

Simply written, with its valuable
subject matter presented in clear Ian
guage and concrete form, this BOOK
should be read by every American citi-
zen who wishes to do his duty IN the
fight for democracy. America has not
vet the spirit of food conservation. She
has not yet felt the real pinch OF neces-
sity. But on food distribution and con-
servation largely rests the ultimate de-
cision Of the war. To read newspaper
or magazine accounts Of the work and
aims Of the Food Commission is like
reading a large number Of continued
stories simultaneously and trying TO
carry all the details in mind and keep
them differentiated. This book gathers
together and sums uD all you want to
know and should know.
