WAR SHRINE IN
PICTURESQUE HYDE
PARK FOR SORROWFUL

London, Sept. 2.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press. i'm
a picturesque corner Of Hyde Park,
not far from the noisy thoroughfares
over which much OF London's traf-
fic passes, is war shrine, in the
shape OF cross, where visitors may
get some idea OF the sorrow of a
country which for four years, has
been weighted down by the ravages
of war.
'All last week" says the dispatch,
"the slow-moving streams of gray
haired mothers, grief-worn wives,
sisters, daughters, Sweethearts
passed round the shrine, the masses
OF flowers were piled higher ara
higher, the fresh fragrance OF those
of today mingling with the fain.
scent OF yesterdays paler blossoms
There were working women who
took part OF their luncheon hour
to Join that little procession round
the shrine, there were children who
came in the late afternoon, and old
men who passed as twilight drew
near.
yesterday there was little
woman in black who came and laid
a small bunch OF roses as near the
English flag as she could. On
card she had written, In memory
OF VIII, my youngest boy and near
those fresh roses were roses OF the
day before to John and the day
before that to George,
Three sons the little woman in
black had given, three cards, three
loosely tied punches OF flowers she
had laid upon the war shrine. One
moment she paused to speak to one
ot the Green Cross girls, 1 shall
come again in a few weeks, she
said with eyes that were moist and
lips that smiled bravely, and then
she walked slowly out OF the park
to 4 lonely home"

MENNONITES CAUSE
PROBLEM IN CANADA
FOR THE GOVERN M MENT

Regina, Sept, 2l.--(By The Asso-
ciated Press. i'm the future sub
poets OF the Mennonite faith in Sas-
katchcwan must send their children
to the public schools as provided
under the compulsory school at
tendance act. The Minister OF Ed
ucation after year devoted to the
study of conditions in Mennonite
settlements of Saskatchewan, has
decided to form public school dis.
tricts in the heart of these colonies
in opposition to the parochlal
church schools OF the Mennenites.
Since 1870 these people have lived
under conditions greatly resembling
those of the peasant classes OF mid.
die Europe. Although born here
their children cannot speak English,
They are ignorant of British and
Canadian institutions and ideals
and, according to the Minister OF
Education, are a handicap TO the
development of the districts in
which they live. He declared that
petitions to secure railway sidingS,
a postoffice, rural free delivery
routes, or rural telephone lines
stand no chance of success in such
communities. The Mennonites, who
are opposed to war, will sign no pc
titions Of any kind on the ground
that il is dealing with the govern
ment SO lar they have been grant
ed their wishes that they be lett
alone. Their schools are conducted
in German. with German Bible as
a text book, by teachers approved
by their bishops.
AS they own large tracts OF land
it has heretofore been impossible to
public school districts, for
there are no English speaking set
tle-s in their territory.
Difficulties are ahead OF the de-
,artment OF education because many |
Df the Mennonites, under fear OF ex-
communication from their churches
viii suffer imprisonment rather than

PEACE FARLEY

LONDON, Feb. S.-The resumption
Of the peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk today. If it occurs, will take
place in fog of vague reports and con-
tradictions as far as the outside world
is concerned.
Statements in many German news
papers indicate probable breach be-
tween the Germans and the Bolsheviki
and the conclusion of a separate ar
rangement between the central powers
and the Ukraine. No light on the stu
alton comes from Russian sources.
A dispatch from the Petrograd cor
respondent of the Daily News, under
Tuesdays date says there has been no
direct Geographic news received there
from Brest-Litovsk, for four days.
The German alleged that the wires
were damaged whereupon the Rus
SLAMS similarly damaged" the direct
wire between Petrograd and Berlin
used by the AustrO-German delegation
Foreign Minister Trotsky is reported
to be at Brest-Litovsk but nothing has
been heard from him.
In the meantime the ~Bolsheviki con-
tinue to circulate by means of the
wireless statements regarding the tri-
umph of the Bolsheviki rada in the
Ukraine.

DANGER OF SHORTAGE
OF COAL STILL ACUTE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Despite I'M
proved weather conditions In most
sections OF the east today, danger OF
widespread suffering from lack OF coal
had not been removed and formal an
nouncement that the Monday colsing
order would remain in effect until the
situation was bettered were going for
ward to all eastern fuel officials.
Although the fuel administration
and railroad administration in dec1d-
ing that the closing must continue,
hope that the shutdown next Monday
followed by the voluntary closing Of
many establishments on Lincoln's
birthday, will relieve the situation fur
tier, no secret was made of the fact
that the railroad freight traffic Is less
than half of normal.
Coal was being given preference
everywhere but comparatively small
stocks were being hauled. Trains
could not reach the mines through
heavy snow drifts in some Pennsyl-
cania regions and officials pointed out
that the full effect Of the derange-
n.ent and the decrease in the coal pro-
Guction will be felt tomorrow and Sat
urday unless the improved weather
conditions continue.

the former khedive of Egypt. Her ap-
pearance created mild stir in the
orOwed court room.
Madame LaFargue's testimony was
principally to the effect that Bolo, not
wfthstanding his claim that he never
kept business books, and cared moth
ing for money had once loaned her
10000 francs, but only on condition
that she give him a mortgage on her
property as well as a note signed by

self. The accused, she said. played
the part of shrewd and exacting bus

Bolo Pasha denied that he had made
a loan to Madame LaFargue, claiming
that at the time mentioned according
to the testimony Of NJ. Doyen, finan-

With broad work or fight amend
ment designed to prevent strikes and

youths under Fl serving in the mill
tary or naval service, the admins
tration manpower bill extending draft
ages so as to include all men between
18 and As years of age, was ordered
favorably reported Tuesday by tie
Senate military committee.
Chairman Chamberlain plans to
take UP it's consideration in the Sen

Senate vacation recess period by a

The bill which was prepared under

First American Field Army Gre

Secretary Baker was formally ad-
vlsed Tuesday by General Pershing
that the first American field army had
been created, General Pershing retain
ing command of the army as well as
the entire American expeditioazary
forces for the present.
The announcement is regarded as
having deep significance at the War
Department mainly because it places
the American army in France on the
same footing as the French or Brit
ish forces there. Formation of the
army is taken to mean that the Amer
icanlzatinR of definite portion of the
front has been completed.
Supply lines, railways, bases, srcr-
age facilities, debarkation ports, and
the like created and operated by
Americans stand behind the first ar
my. The only statement of the loca-
t1cm of this American front given is
that it is "south of the Marne." Pre-
sa1mab1y this means a part at least q
the long line from St. Mihiel to the
Swiss border, where American troop.
have been put in at intervals drins
the past few months.
The extent of that front has no
been disclosed nor has the definit
strength of the army been given. Th
advices indicate that it comprises
however, five full corps, which mean
approximately 1,250,000 men.
