BETRO1HAL OF THE JUNGLE
Maiden and intended Each Supposed
to Mediate on ACCESSIBILITY OF
Union Before Ceremony.

A second beating of tOmtoms 'thun-
iered through the barrio. The bride
was coming! Down an avenue. made
for her by women of the tribe slowly
crept the tiny figure. 1t was draped
in the softest eastern stuffs; jeweled
anklets and bangles tinkIed merrily.

ship swathed the figure, but Through it
Piang recognized his beloved Papita.
Slowly she approached; fearfully she
raised her eyes to the man who await
ed her, Florence Particle Stuart writes
in st. Nicholas. Her little feet fall
tered. and Papita leaned heavily
against the woman who supported her.
But at that moment Piang gave
strange whistle, three soft notes of
nina bird foated over the barrio and
Papita became suddenly alive. Again
the notes stole through the jungle. The
bride threw back her veil.
1.-The unwilling maid seems to have
forgotten her VICE." said one scornful
woman to another.
The priestess commenced the cere-
mOny that was to last all night. Ii
was filled with weird chants to which
Papita responded with renewed vigor.
But her eyes furtively glanced toward a
spot near the curve ofsthe creek where
q slender reed ,swayed increasingly.
After several hours the priestess
led the way to the water and Ynoch
placed Papita in her gala yinta and
pushed her out into the stream. He
got into another and the two boats
nosed each other while the crowd show
cred them with oils and perfumes.
When the command came to part, the
boats shot off In opposite directions.
A maiden and bridegroom are each
supposed to mediate, in Oriental fash
ion, on the ACCESSIBILITY of the union be-
fore the final ceremony; SO read the

RUSSIAN ARMY PIHMFD
Many Parts of Western Front Left
Entirely Open

Petrograd, Jan. o6.-Majo- General
Bonch- Bruevitch, chief of staff at the
Russian front, pains gloomy picture
of the condition of the Russian ar
mics in a report to Ensign Krylenko,
the commander-in-chief.
The army organizations are utterly
demoralized, he says. the officers are
inexperienced and the maintenance
of discipline is impossible. The only
possible salvation for the army, the
only chance for offering an effective
resistance, he declared, is for the
various sections Of the armies to fall
back to their natural defences and
undergo a reorganization of the units
under trained leaders.
Many parts of the western front
are entirely open. General Bonch-
Bruevitch reports, at numerous places
there being only $40 infantrymen to
the mile. The reserves are refusing
to relieve the men in the trenches
and the soldiers are deserving in
masses. Communications are broken
and few horses are available. The
wire entanglements have been de-
,troyed to facilitate fraternizing and
the exchange of commodities with the
German armies

Better Weather Improves Coal
Situation In East.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Sucesssful
re-routing of much western freight
over southern lines is reported.
There is also better weather over
most of the east These two things
prompted railroad administration of
ficials to say the general freight en-
barge on three eastern trunks lines
would be removed Monday or Tues
day.
Coal movements are reported far
greater than at any time in the last
ten days.
Specific orders were given by Di-
rector General McAdoo to western
roads and shippers to send livestock,
grain and other commodities destined
for New York, through Memphis and
over southern railroads. These are
less contested than those of the east.
Quantities of freight destined for
the Pennsylvania nd Baltimore and
Ohio systems, now under embargo,
were diverted to the Chesapeake and
Ohio and New York Central systems.
A zone system of coal distribution
to be administered by J. D. A. Nor

TO SELL FISH
Plans to Buy Entire Catch
Along the Coast.
TO GIVE REGULAR SUPPLY
Would Distribute Food Without Any
Profit and Provide Ready Market
For Fishermen.

For Fishermen.
Trenton, y. j., Jan. 26.-New Jersey
IS state, is ready and able 10 pur-
chase the entire each OF pound and
other saltwater ifs ecmtn along the
New Jersey coast, ter the purpose OF
furnishing a ready wholesale market
10 the fishermen and to give residents
of the state larger and more regular
supply of fish for food purposes.
This progressive idea was the result
of conference between Governor
Edge, the New Jersey high cost of
living commission and representatives
of the fishing industry. held in the
governors office.
The conference was the result OF
the public hearing on the state fish
control bill, at which it was shown
that the pending legislation was so
drawn that pound net and other fish
ermen would not be able to remain
In business. A new measure. meeting
the objections raised by the fishing
interests, will be introduced. This
will be prepared by Josiah Stryker, OF
Trenton. second assistant attorney
general.
Under the bill that is pending In
the legislature it is provided that the
state may take all or a part Of the
catches of the states saltwater fish
ermen, and there is no provision In
the measure to indicate what prices
the state would pay for the catches.
In the new bill it will be provided
that the state may take all Of the
catches of the salt water fishermen
and pay the ruling market price at
the time of purchase. This arrange
rent will provide a market for all
of the fish caught in the salt waters
of the state, and will insure to the
fishermen prices that will be equal
to those that might be obtained from
sources other than the state fish con-
troll commission.
Governor Edge authorized the state
ment that under this legislation the
fishermen will get better prices fo-
fish than they have ever received, and
that they will always have read"
market for their catches. II better
prices are offered than the state viii
give, the fishermen will be entire'y at
liberty to sell their catches to dealers
other than those directly represent
ing the state.
The state will arrange to store Its
purchases of catches and will sell Its
supply directly to retailers at price
ilat will only include the cost Of
handling to the state.
A further conference on the whole
subject will be held Monday morning
at 1890 o'clock at Asbu-y Park. when
the high cost of living commission
will meet representatives of the fish
