gram which brought to him as much or
more happiness than has come to him for
some time The telegram came from Ma
pies, Italy, and contained but these
three words: Debut grand success, +"
but it meant a whole lot to the one by
whom it was received. 1t meant that
Mr.. York's daughter Helen, who has
been in Italy for several years study
ing voice culture, had completed her
course of training and had made her
debut as an operate singer. This came
last week and thus far the three words
of the telegram are all that is known Of
her success, but her many friends at
home will be eager to hear further de-
tails In a recent letter to her father
Miss York wrote that she expected to
make her debut around the first part of
January and that 1t would be made at
Teatro Mercadante in Lucia di Lam
mermoor" Miss York's name in Italian
is ELENA Jork," and her friends here
feel sure that she will be successful in
her chosen profession.

New Russian | Premier S
/ first Attention to Food
Supplies Says Rescript

Accordingly I cali upon the govern.
ment unified In your person TO devote
As attention first and foremost to the
provisioning Of my valiant armies and.
behind the firing line, lessening those
difficulties connected with supplies, In
evitable In Q world war. I count upon
It that the Joint labors Of the whole
government will be concentration In
the realization on a large scale and de-
velopment Of measures recently taken
towards this end.
1.-THE question Of provisioning the
armies and the civil population de-
mands the combined action not only OF
all the authorities at the 'front.' and In
the rear. but also Of all the different
departments united under the control
Of the council OF ministers.
Another problem to which I attach
supreme importance IN the further i'm
provement OF transport, railway and
waterway. The council Of ministers
should in this connection work out de-
cisive measures which will assure the
full utilization Of the means OF trans
port in order to be able through the CO.
operation Of all departments to furnish
our troops on the firing line and behind
1t with all that they require.
"In pointing out these pressing prob
lens for your attention 1 express the
hope that the activity Of the council OF
ministers under your presidency will
meet the support Of the council of the
Empire and the Duma united In an
unanimous ardent desire to carry on
the war to a victorious conclusion.
Furthermore, 1t is the duty of all per
sons called upon to serve the State to
act with good will, uprightness and
dignity towards the executive institu-
tions."

ABRAMS IS TO Be
next OWNER OF
PORTLAND CLUB

Portland, Me-, Jan. 21.-Hiram Alb
rams is becoming owner Of the Port
land baseball club. Attorneys for the
new owner and Hugh Duffy had con-
ference in Boston yesterday and pre-
liminary steps were taken. Details will
be cared for tomorrow and then there
will be nothing left for which to walt
excepting the meeting Of the Eastern
League for the formal ratification OF
the transaction.
Naturally, the attorneys for Mr.. Abb
rams and Mr.. Duffy are not suff1cinet-
ly acquainted with the mechanism OF
baseball business to go beyond the
preliminary agreements by themselves
and so the details Of the deal had to
be laid over to Monday when Michael
]. Clarity, representing Mr.. Abrams,
and Hugh Duffy, representing the new
Harvard baseball coach, have ses-
sion with their attorneys and go as
far as it is possible for them to go UNI
til the league has ratified the sale.
This ratification is certain and the
league has been waiting for the sale
of the club SO that it might have a
meeting and know just where it is
standing.
Mr.. Clarity, who now represents the
new Portland owner, has not vet been
engaged as manager of the club for
the season but there is practically no
doubt that he will handle the club.
There are no strings to the PURCHASE
and Mr.. Abrams assures the fans of
Portland the greatest year the city
ever has enjoyed in the limelight Of
the national pastime.

that the Russian people supporting tn.

1.-THE natural resources OF our country

Nation S Final Tribute
Over Body Of Dewey

Washington, Jan q Admiral
Manila bay and the worlds ranking
naval officer, was buried Saturday at
Arlington national cemetery after
solemn ceremonies rejecting the ma
tons final tribute of honor and af-
lection.
There were two services, the first, a
private home ceremony and the sec
ond an impressive service in the ro-
tunda of the Capitol, where the Presi-
dent, the supreme court, the cabinet,
the Senate and House, the diplomatic
corps and others prominent in official
and civil life went to honor the dead
hero publicly. Afterward through
able company and a large escort of
military and naval forces followed the
casket to Arlington.
Honor Escort of Midshipmen
The midshipmen from Annapolis, re-
membered by the admiral while he was
on his death bed as my friends" re-
ceived the signal distinction of honor
escort and in compliance with his re-
quest they alone accompanied the body
from the house to the Capitol and la
ter were the only military unit to en-
ter the cemetery in organized forma-
ton.
Though arranged with care to express
a national tribute, the funeral and burial
ceremonies were both simple and brief.
There was no formal grafton at the homo
or the Capitol. Both services were con-
Quoted according to Protestant Episcopal
rites, the first being read by DR.. Roland
Cotton Smith, the family minister and
the second by Chaplain ]. B. Frazier,
who was the Olympia's chaplain at Ma
Mia bay. Chaplain Frazier also conduct
ed the commitment service. when the
body was laid in the mausoleum.
During the services the entire machin-
cry Of the federal government here was
halted. Private business was suspended
an hour and all flags were at half masr.
Observances of a similar kind were heid
on every American naval vessel ahoat
and were emphasized by the firing at
noon by every senior ship Of a salute of
10 guns, two more than the regulations
prescribe for an admirars salute.
March Lasted Two Hours
The imposing procession moved at half
step from the Capitol to Arlington and
entered the cemetery grounds two hours
after 1t started AS it wound slowly out
of the city across the Potomac ana De-
gan the approach through the Virginia
hills the batteries at Fort Myer began
at minute intervals a l9-gun saiute'
Later, when the casket was placed IN the
vault, the salute was repeated,
At the head of the procession
through the cemetery marched the
midshipmen and their band. AS they
neared the vault they divided into
two columns, between which passed
the flag -draped caisson bearing the
casket, followed by Chaplain Frazier
and DR.. Smith, the President and the
cabinet and ranking officers OF the
army and navy.
Twelve sailors from the presidential
Yacht Maynower and the Seamen Gun
ners' school bore the casket to the
vault and placed it as the midship-
mems band played Nearer My God TO
Thee" The last service was read and
then a squad of midshipmen fired
three sharp volleys and Chief Master
at Arms Charles Mitchell, who was
with Dewey at Manila bay, sounded
