Mutinous Sailors Repentant and Re-
cover Brave AdmiraPs Blade.

Petrograd, Aug. admiral Kol-
chack got his sword back today-the
same sword he threw overheard at Sc
bastopol rather than turn it over to
mutinous sailors.
The sailors themselves, now thor
oily repentant. succeeded by use of di-
vers in recovering the weapon and
sent a delegation to Petrograd to re-
turn it to Kolchack.
At the time of the mutiny, which
was quelled by persuasion of Rear
Admiral Glennon of the American
navy, Admiral kolchack was ordered
to surrender. He declared that when
he was forced to capitulate at Port
Arthur the japanese had magnani-
mously insisted he keep his sword and
that he proposed not to sully the blade
by surrender. Then he flung it over

Church decor atiOns and orders for bouquets have been reduced about ninety per cent. and the flowers which used to be sent now go to the hospitals.
