MORE RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY FOR RUSSIANS

PETROGRAD, Aug. 30.-Rapid
progress is being made by the COM
mission newly appointed to reform
that part Of the penal law of 1902
which deals with violation of the
principle Of religious liberty, CONVEX
sion to another religion by violence
of threats and "perversion" to ano-
Their religion by fraud or undue in
nuence.
The basis of this law was a distinc-
ton, first, between orthodox and nom
orthodox Christians, and second, be-
tween Christians generally and Mo-
Ihammedans and heather. Voluntary
conversion from orthodoxy was pun
ishable under certain conditions,
whereas voluntary conversion to or
thodoxy was not punishable. For con-
version to orthodoxy by violence or
threat the penalties were mild and, in
practice were never enforced; and
non Christians virtually were not at
all protected against violent CONVEX
sion.
The law now under consideration
recognizes the complete liberty of all
Christians. To emphasize this prin-
ciple. the projected law abolishes the
legal use of the word "heresy" and
replaces the legal term "perversion"
with conversion"
The new law will protect citizens
against forcible conversion by impos-
ing a penalty of Imprisonment not
exceeding three years. The law will
further deal with certain extremist
sectarians such as the Skoptsi and
others, which mutilate themselves
and have even burned one another
alive. For such offences the penalty
is Imprisonment in fortress.

THE Law.

For the benefit of several Of exchanges again call
their attention to that of the seecve which
deals with the credits be allowed citizens
already enlisted in the military forces of the country.
In section of the law it is stated Credits given
any state territory district subdivision thereof for any number
CT men who WERE IN THE MILITARY SERVICE OF THE
UNITED STATES member of the National Guard April
1917 who have since said date entered the military
United States from state territory district subdivision

The only question that arise whether credit shall be given
for citizens enstng within period Navy
States the not being mentioned the We believe however
that credit will also be given for the naval enlistment
Tor such discrimination would be usthab all being enlisted for the
defense of the country and standing equal footing

 A man who was very rich. but who was bon vivant, took it into his head that he was to live certain number of years and no longer Under the i'm pression of this idea he calculated that if he spent so much year his estate and his life would expire together.

OUR FIRST ADMIRAL.
The Rank Was Conferred Upon David
 G. Farraeut In 1866.

The first officer of the United States navy to hold the rank of admiral was David G. Farragut. who was elevated to that position on July p. 1866. as a reward for his great services in the war that had recently ended. Prior to the conflict between the states the highest rank in the United States na- val service was that of commodore.
 In 1862 congress conferred upon Far ragut the rank of rear admiral. in 1864 that of vice admiral, and in lS66 he was made a full fedged admiral. Farra gut. died in 1870. and the title of admiral was then conferred upon Da- vid D. Porter. who held that rank un- til his death. in 1891.
 Congress then abolished the title of admiral, and the grade of rear admiral remained the highest in Uncle Sans naval service until 1899, when that of admiral was revived and conferred on George Dewey.
 In that year the old title of commo- dore was abolished. and the holders were advanced to the grade of rear admiral.-New York World

Human Greatness.

Contempt of all outward things which come in competition with duty fulfills the ideal of human greatness. This conviction, that readiness b sacrifice life's highest material good and life itself is es- sential to the elevation of human nature, is no illusion of ardent youth nor outburst of blind enthu- siasm. It does not yield to growing wisdom. It is confirmed bt all ex- perience. It is sanctioned by con- science-that universal and eternal lawgiver whose chief dictate is that everything must be yielded up for the right.-W. E. Charming.
