(By Review Leased Wire)

MOSCOW, Tuesday, August 2S.- have been ringing continually sirce cawn on this. the festival of the As sumption. in honor of tho opening day Of the Ecumenical congress of the orthodox church-the first congress held for more than two centuries of ec- clesiastical officialism. Ever since the revolution of 1905 all ardent be- lieVers of the church have been desir- ing a revival of the medieaval prac- tice of holding these congresses, which they consider the only sure means of rescuing the church from its erstwhile servility to the state.
 All last night there streamed into the city from neighboring villages shagged-beard peasants in many cases accompanied by their Wives. bearing lemphn packs on their backs and carrying rude images in their hands. These figures, mixing with the city population, moved in dence masses to- wards the historic Red Square where the ceremonial order provided that the procession of the cross" should take place and national service for salvation of Holy Russia" should be held. At ten o'clock in the morning, in the cathedral of the Assumption. in the Kremlin, in which still stands the eagled bronze at which hundreds of the emperors received the crown, was held the dedicatory services.
 The body of the cathedral was thronged with mitred bishops carry ing slaves and gemmed crozieres, arch priests in the purple burliet, and of ten eclastic monks and mingled with them, laymen of note. the most promi- nent of the last being Premier Ke- rensky, who remained but few mo- ments, and former Premier Lvoff. e
 Before the end of the service there began to arrive at the Kremlin en- closure and in the square outside, processions of the cross from the thirty cathedral and monastery churches, the participants in which carried more than a thousand brazen banners, painted with effigies of the saints.
 Between these processions tramped groups of laymen, some bearing his toric ikons and some holding up rude homemade images, in the hope that these by touch with, or proximity to-, the famous ikons would gain some thing of the occasions sacred spirit
 The correspondent witnessed many striking evidences that the religious spirit still was strong and deep. Be- side every ikon of note there trudged working women who begged to be al lowed to share in carrying the heavy iron-bound frames

ent with the welfare of the producer; hat the government is at the present time engaged in the great task of re- ducing and stabilizing costs of other staple commodities; that the wheat of the world is abundant for its needs even diregarding the stores in Russia out because of lack of shipping and var conditions, the burden of supply ing wheat to the allies and to neu- tral nations rests for the time being upon the United States and Canada.
 Action A Guaranty.
 Your committee also has consider ed the fact that the government price for the 1917 wheat crop is in effect a continuing guaranty until the mini mum price guaranteed by congress for the crop of 1918 goes into effect. July l, I917. It has considered the relation of the 1918 minimum price to the price here recommended. 1t has also considered the effect which an early termination of the war would nave upon the wheat markets of the world.
 Guided By Wilson.
 Tn reporting it's recommendation che committee has been guided by the principles you have announced-that a fair price should be based upon the cost of production for the entire country plus a reasonable profit. We nave relied upon the cost estimates for the crop of 1917, furnished by the United States department of agricul- ture checked by the results of our in, dependents investigations and the re suits submitted to the committee.
 Considered Regulations.
 This committee has considered the regulations recently established by the United States food administration grain corporation for the different grades of the wheat through which all transactions in.wheat are to be stand ardized and speculation to be entire y eliminated. All that profits to the grain dealers, miller and flour dealer have been regulated and reduced by the grain corporation. effecting a ma erial reduction in the cost of flour.
 Tn consideration of the foregoing acts and circumstances. this commit ee respectfully recommends that the price of number one northern spring wheat or its equivalent at Chicago be 2.20 per bushel."
