NICHOLAS LATE CAR
A WEAKLING AND
DEEPLY PIOUS.
TO THE EXTENT OF GR0VELLING SUP
ERSTITION-REIGN TURBULENT.

Car Nicholas III, who abdicated,
ascended the throne of Russia in 1894.
He was a Congenital idiot. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that his reign has
been the most turbulent since the
Romanoffs, 300 years ago, began to
rule the Slavic Empire. During the
last Is years of his rule Russia was
the scene of unparalleled internal
strife. Pogroms, massacres and assas-
sinations make Russia's history in the
suffering
Nicholas II, is described by those
who know him as a weakling. Sur
rounded by Russian fanatic monks
and pernicious influences, he was
easily swayed, swayed from one view
to another. 1t Is we'll known fact
that when certain individuals in the
Court wished to have things done,
they resorted to threats. 1t was
enough, for instance, for a Grand
Duke to stamp the ground angrily and
menacingly in order to win his point
There was a time when Nicholas III
did possess some initiative but he was
only a Simula Circus. That was early
in his reign. The Russian people and
the entire world expected him at that
time to grant liberties and reforms
to his nation. He made an attempt
to launch a world peace movement
by suggesting The Hague conference
But his further endeayors for pro-
gress we're smothered by the power

ious charlatans prevailing the Russian

WOman'S Club Of Westminster Pays
Tribute to Mrs. NOrthOp.

The Womans Club of Westminster,
held its regular meeting Tuesday aft
ernoon, Mrs. Martha Shaw being the
hostess. AS it was the last meeting
over which Mrs. r. p. NOrthOp was
to preside as president, prior to her
removal to New York, there was a
large attendance to greet her, the
members having planned surprise
for the president. After the regular
business Of the club, including an in
teresting article read by Mrs. Nc
Daniel on, Some Great American
Fortunes and their Origins" the sec
retary, Mrs. J. Pearre Wantz, an
nounced that Mrs. A. n Ward had a
matter to put before the club. Mrs.
Ward then explained that a conspir-
acy had been formed in honor OF Mrs.
NOrthOp and long before she finished
her bright and witty talk, the mem
bers of the club knew they had chos-
en- the right representative to voice
their sentiments. She spoke Of the
valuable services Mrs. NorthOp had
rendered the members of the club and
of the loss to the club her removal
would cause, and also that of her
daughter. Mrs Helen Adams. AS a
climax, Mrs. Ward presented Mrs.
NOrthOp with a huge bunch OF Ameri-
can Beauty roses, the gift of the club,
to which the president made reply in
her usual happy vein. Later, a col
latiOn was served.

CATHOLICS GROW FAST IN L. s.
Az RECORDS PROVE
There Are Now Seventeen Million of
Them i'm Church Statistics.

| New York, March 10.-There are
II 7,022,879 Catholics in the United
States, according to the 1917 edition
of the Official Catholic Directory.
Sixty-four American archdiocesses
and dioceses report increases. Four
show decreases and 33 archdiocesses
and dioceses made no change in the
population figures. The increase in
the number of Catholics during the
year 1916 is 45S,770.
According to Joseph H. Weier, the
compiler, the figure 17,O22,879 is very
conservative, including, as it does,
only the figures submitted by the
chancery officials. Taking into con-
sideration the floating" Catholic pop
ulation Mr.. Weier feels he is safe in
saying the actual Catholic population
of the United States is nearly 19,000,-
OO0
According to the new directory,
there are IA archbishops, 96 bishops
and 1888 Catholic clergymen in the
United States. OF these 1888 clergy
men, 1852 are secular priests and
5,381 are priests of religious orders.
The increase in the number OF Cath
olic clergymen during the past year
is shown to be All.
There are 1880 Catholic parishes
in this country, OF which 1O,19O have
resident clergymen, the other $3.50
being mission parishes. Three hun
dred and fifty seven new parishes
were organized last year.

POOR PEOPLE PAY
BURDEN OF WAR
IN PRICES OF
FOODS.
AND WHILE OTHERS FIGHT, THEY Pay.
SPECTATORS GET The COIN.

Feeding the world at the prices set
by spectators and foreign govern
ments is costing the people of the
country billion dollars for every mil
lion that gun and munitiOn contract
ors are winning from abroad.
Food prices are higher today than
ever before and they promise to go
even higher, because federal, state and
municipal Investigations have all fail
ed This is according to Mrs. Julian
Heath, president of the National
Housewives League, in New York
who has devoted much of her time in
the past year to a study of food prices
The dove Of peace has settled. The
Investigations are over, said Mrs
Heath today, and the consumer is
suffering more than ever. Federal
state and municipal authorities have
failed to check the rise in prices
Something must be done"
president Wilson told the Nation
Grange: There must be greater pro-
duction," said Mrs. Heath The pro
ducer answered. But If we produce
more we don't get as high prices And
there is the jam, and it is the con
sumer-the great American public
that is caught in the wedge. Manu-
facturers of food products have been
slow to raise prices, they realize thei1
interest is the consumers; but the in
dividual producer has gone on, getting
the most he could without thought fol
the consumer. Investigations have
failed because of lack of concentration
Each investigator has followed the
lines of his own pet hobby as the rem
edy. The consumer has not aided
but has been stampeded into high
prices by scarce heads, and has &C,
cepted prohibitive costs without pro-
test.
There seems to me to be but one
remedy-Some sort of federal control
of production and distribution
Like most moral tinanciers and for
ward looking mora!ists the lady misses
the point. We are trying to feed the
armies of the Allies. We are shipping
food from this country as fast as we
can and it is the most natural thing
in the world that our people are pay
ing for what is left the prices we nov
complain Of
Our poor and our people with mod
crate incomes are paying 80 cents OF
more on every bushel of potatoes for
the war between England and Ger
many.

Census Committee to Meet April 3, in
Opera House.

The Governor of Maryland has ord
tarv age in the State be taken and
that this work be done by volunteers
This census is for the purpose OF
placing before those in authority, ac-
curate information as to the military
strength in the State, in the event OF
further military steps being necessary
but at this time it is in no sense a
conscription. Those who are listed
have fifteen days in which to present
any evidence Of disability and be ex-
cused from any call that might be
made on them.
In order to accomplish this enumer-
alton rapidly, those who are willing to
volunteer their services will please to
send their names to the undersigned,
at once 1t is desirable that at least
four men in each election precinct in
the county shall serve in this capacity.
This work is one of patriotism, and it
is to be hoped and indeed expected,
that Carroll County will show enthusi-
asm equal to that Of any other county
Of our State.
There will be a meeting Of the Cen
sus Committee and volunteer enumer-
ators, the Democratic and Repub-
lican State and County Central Com
mittees, the judges, clerks and all cleo
ton officials Of each district, at the
Opera House, in Westminster, on Tues
day. April 3, at 10 am, at which time
assignment Of territory will be made,
and the actual work begun.

PREDICTED WAR 70
YEARS AGO.
NOVEL PUBLISHED In LEIPZIG FORE
TOLD EVENTS OF WORLD CONFLICT

Basle, Switzerland, March 81
Nearly 80 years ago, in 1888, novel
was published in Leipzig under the
title Surya In this book the follow
ing prophecies appear:
In 1904 the first clash between
western and eastern countries will
take place.
I'm 1912 the Balkans will be
drenched with blood and the corpses
of hundreds of thousands of slain
men will cover the battlefields. From
this bloody struggle the most fearful
war of all history will develop. The
entire civilized world and even saw
age tribes will be drawn into the
horrible contiagration, which will
turn all Europe into bowling wiz
derness in three years. The war will
continue until all of the belligerentS
are exhausted and the armies in the
field rebel against the awful Slaugh-
Ter. 1t will end with a general up
rising of the masses. The reVoluClon
will start in one of the largest coun-
tries engaged in the war and bring
! horrors which may make those or the
French revolution appear like chlld's
play Within few months the reVo-
! luton will spread over all Europe,
and when it ends the old world will
be depopulated and so impoverished
that it may never be able to recover"
The first two of these prophesieS
! have come true and the third one LIZ
partly fulfilled. In 1904 the war be-
tween Russia and Japan started and
1912 brought the first Balkan war,
which was followed at once by the
second From these struggles the
present horrible world war developed.
Almost the entire world is fighting.
Revolution has overturned the gov
ernment of Russia. Will the general
revolution, the horrid climax predict
ed by the writer, also come?
