Gloomy Russian Writers.

According to Charles Gray Shaw In
the North American Review, Russian
fiction is not gloomy SC much because
it represents actual Russian conditions,
but because Russian writer's are by

SLEPT WHILE GUNS R0AREL
Charles Francis Adams Told of TAX
ing a Nap on a Hillside During
Plckett's Charge.

In the campaigns of both Antietam
and Gettysburg l was an officer in a
regiment of cavalry, mere subor-
dihate responsible only for obedience
to orders.
AT Gettysburg July the division to
which we belonged occupied the high,
partly wooded ground on the right of
the line, covering the enemys flank
and rear. II was bright July day,
lot and with white clouds slowly roll
ing across the sky. Neither our lines
nor those Of the enemy were visible
to US; and the sounds of battle were
hushed. Waiting for orders and for
action, we dismounted, out of regard
for our horses as well as for ourselves,
and sat or lay on the turf.
Injured to danger by contact long and
close and thoroughly tired in body and
overwrought in mind we listened for
the battle to begin; and shortly after
noon the artillery opened. We did not
know 1t, for we could see nothing in
that direction, but 1t covered the ia
nous advance Of Pickett's Virginia di-
vision upon Meade's center-that
wonderful feat of arms-and just
then, lulled by the incessant roar of
the cannon, while the fate of the
army and the nation trembled in the
balance, at the very crisis of the great
conflict, / dropped quietly asleep. 1t
was not heroic, but 1t was essentially
war.-5From the Autobiography Of
Charles Francis Adams.

For neglecting to thatch a wheat stack, protecting it against the weather, a farmer was fined $100; the loss of grain was estimated to be equal to one days food for ,6,366 children. Fines for the sale by farmers of po- tatoes above official maximum prices are very common, and also very se- were, running from $500 to $1,500 in some recent cases! farmers plead great pressure upon them by consum. CTS; the defendant in one case said recentlys Do not think I wish you to believe I die not know I was doing wrong; we all knew it, and those who have come and begged me to get po- tatoes at any price knew it; but what could I do?" The police found 20
 pounds of sugar, 20 pounds of tea, and
 half a sack of flour in a business mans home; the woman having pos- session was fined $25; she pleaded that her father had given her these provisions; her father was fined $100
 for aiding and abetting. On visiting
 a farm, a constable found pigs eat
 ing bread and meal and it was learned
 that the farmer had been purchasing
 excessive quantities; jail sentence of three months.

are all overcome by Recupertahs. they are made after the formula of Dr. Albert Robin, the famous French physician, and are geing used very largely in Paris and other European capitals.
 When taken for a short while they will give positive relief in all cases of nervous exhaustion, mental depres- sion, lack of vitality, general debility, anernia, etc.
 The Glycerphosprates of which Re- cupertabs aar composed, contain the element necessary to overcome these conditions. They are now being pre- scribed and recommended by many physicians in this and foreign coun- tries as the best, quickest and surest nerve and blood tonic that they know of.
 Recupertars are for sale at all drug stores at soc and $1.0o per package or will be sent direct upon receipt of price.

FRANCE BANKSON BUMPER CROP OF MANITOBA WHEAT

Paris, March A. Correspondence of the Associated Press) - France, without a bumper" crop of corn to fall back upon is making a brave eff fort to increase the yield of other food-stuffs and there are now for the first time signs that the effort is pro- ducing results.
 Nearly a million more acres ot wheat were sown last fall than in 1916, according to recently completed statistics With ordinary good luck this means nearly. 20,000,000 bushels more of wheat. Spring seeding this year may exceed that of 1917 by near ly the same extent which will bring the French wheat crop this year up to 40, ,000 900 bushels mere than that of last year. The bread card, taking ef- feet Jan. 29 was intended to save from food consumption the million bushels required for the extended seeding.
 M. Compere-Morel, Commissary of Agriculture, charged with the exten- sion of seeding, has already divided 600,000 bushels of Manitoba wheat among farmers. He is confident inn

 It is these simple ideas that are expressed in the phrase, a League of Nations" The Allied governments are pledged to create the league. Presi- Cent Wilson entered the war for no ether purpose. And he has recently informed the world again that "tha free peoples of the world must draw together in some common covenant, some genuine practical cooperation that will in effect combine their force to secure peace and justice in the dealings of nations with one another The brotherhood of mankind must no longer be a fair but empty phrase; it must be given a structure of force and reality. The nations must realize their common life and effect. a work able partnershi,> to secure that life against the aggressions of autocratic elf-pleasing power"

BRITISH FOOD OARDER GET
 SEVERE JOLTS

Prosecutions" is the title of an
 interesting department in the Nation
 al Food Journal. issued semi-weekly by the British Ministry of Food. It deals with hoarders and trade viola tors, and because these subjects now begin to assume some importance eV- erywhere among State Food Adminis- tration workers, a short summary of recent British cases may be of inter- est, as an indication that the peculiar cases caused by hoarding and wrong selling are not by any means new. Marie Correlli. the novelist, was re- gently fined S350 for having in her possession more than 40 pounds of tea. She denied having it, and when the tea was unearthed by the police, predicted a revolution. A large hoard of foodstuffs, amounting to several tons of tea, flour, meats, canned goods, and liquors, was found behind a false wall in a metal refiner's cellar. His plea was that he wished in accord ance with a benevolent practice to be able through the agency of his church to distribute comforts among the poor" The court distributed his hoardings among the poor-and sent him to Jail for six months. An off1- cial price list is required in a grocery store was covered with a sheet of blank paper to conceal it and resulted in fine of $25O. A woman was fin ed $25 for burning quantity of stale bread on her lawn. She pleaded that she had acted under provecation on the part of her husband, from whom she was separated" A clerk in the grocery store of the mayor of Staff ford made an overcharge for tea and the mayor was fined $1SO. A farmer sold some pigs alive for more than the official price-both buyer and seller were fined. A hotel keeper used meat and sugar in excess of quantities prescribed and failed to keep records-fined $500 for ''exces- sive catering" A clergymans motor

URGE MINISTERS TO
 GET PEACE WITHOUT
 AID OF POLITICIANS

London, March An auxiliary committee of clergymen of various denominations throughout the United Kingdom has been formed in conrec- tion with the League of Nations so- ciety. In letter signed by the mem bers, the committee says:
 "BeIieveing that an obligation rests upon all religious people to seek en- during peace in the highest interests of mankind, we commend to the thoughtful consideration of the minis ters of all churches the principle of a League of Nations, and more particu- larly we call upon them to foster in the churches the spirit of prayer, ser vice for humanity, and good will to- wards all the peoples of the earth without which the political machin- cry of an international league would be in vain.
