LOYAL TO MOTHER CHURCH
Deep Religious Instinct charactsrizss
tho PeasaEts Of Both Russia
and Poland.

A deep religious instinct seems to be
Unborn with the Slav peasants, both
Russian and Pole. The only difference
is the form OF his religion, for practi-
cally all the Poles are adherents Of the
Church of Rome. With both races re-
ligion and patriotism are closely inter-
twined. The Slav temperament seems
to be particularly susceptible to relig-
ious impressions, and devotion to the
church reaches a degree for which it Is
difficult to find analogies in any other
part of modern Europe. In the deity
life Of the Polish peasant, the name Of
Christ and the Virgin will be heard re-
peatedly. He would not think of living
In a house that had not been blessed
by a priest. A manufacturer would
find it difficult to keep his hands If the
factory had not been blessed. A thea
ter would died from lack of patronage
If the priestly blessing had been denied

mast faithful of all the adherents of
the Church of Rome.-The Christian

s.Ifour,. Impression. Of America,

Mr.. Balfour has said in public sin
gularly little about his experiences in
America, but some day he may consent
to record his impressions. Should he
do sc we may look for an entertaining
comparison between the house Of COM
mons and the house Of representatives.
Here. for example, is a characteristic
circumstance which the reporters seem
to have missed:
The first stage Of the war crisis was
a kind of Baby Month in Washington.
Children, and sometimes very young
children, were taken into the visitors
galleries in order that they might car
ry into later life the memory of being
present at an historic sitting, and on
the day of Mr.. Balfour's address to the
house a good many members Of con-
gress had children with them on the
floor. The n congresswoman, Miss
Rankin, was accompanied by two ju-
venile relatives. 1t was remarked that
some Of the children in the galleries
were kept, overcome with sleep, to the
end of the long night sitting at which
the war vote was Observation-Disclosures

NEW GOLD FIELDS IN RUSSIA
Rich Platinum Deposits Have Recent
ly Been Found on Tributaries
Of the River Lena.

AS in everything else, the old regime
OF Russia had it's strange hold on the
gold industry. Siberia and the Ural
could be considered the classical parts
of the world where deposits of precious
minerals abound and under q free and
progressive government they could
easily lead all the other parts of the
world. The Russian press is full of
news items chronicling new discoveries
of gold and platinum deposits, as we'll
as other are metals.
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain districts
the gold seekers have lately washed
gold to the amount Of about $3.50
pounds. From the Lena, we'll known
as a gold-bearing river, comes the
word that new rich gold and platinum
deposits were discovered on her tribu-
taries, Willy and Markha.
With the laying Of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost a con-
tinuous procession of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals, espe.
cially on the rivers Burea and Khara :
all the deposits are not far from the
new-laid tracks and offer all the op-
portunities for q successful develop
ment Of the newly discovered deposits.

How Trenches Are Dug.

Each man in an officers training
camp is given IN intrenching shovel,
about the size of a big tablespoon, and
a small pick. He is expected to dig his
trench with those small tools. Each
mar must start lying fiat on his
stomach and dig himself into the
ground. In about two hours an entire
system of trenches, beginning with the
skirmishers' trench, and ending with
the reserve trench, is finished, together
with the parapets in front to protect
the men from the front to protect the
men from the encmy's fire, and the
paradoes behind to keep out pieces Of
bursting shell. After the men have
dug their trenches down so they are
out of range they sometimes get a
shovel a little larger than their in
trenching tool. That helps consider
ably, for the intrenching tool takes out
about a quart of earth with each move
ment. Each man carries his intrench.

Joy Riding In Army.


Joy riding seems to be a regular
sport of French army officers. Accord
ing to charges of reckless extravagance
made against the touring-car section of
the French army, the officers think
that the cars they use are their own
private property. Indeed, competition
is rampant, each officer wanting the
best machine and the most expensive
assortment of accessories, says the re-
port. The cost of 20 cars for the gen.
eral headquarters staff cost $4,000.
Three thousand dollars is the annual
upkeep per car. The only remedy, as
France now sees it, is to refuse to al
low any officer, no matter what his,
rank, to have q personal car.-Popular
