monday ORDER
WILL CONTINUE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Coptinua-
ton of the heatless Monday program
at least for the present as essential to
the relief of the acute coal shortage
in the east has been decided upon by
the fuel and railroad administrations.
Hope that the closing order could
be revoked was abandoned YESTERDAY
after Administrator Garfield and Di-
rector.General McAdoo had consider
ed reports of eastern state fuel admin
istrators that many sections were
down to one-day fuel supply. While
no formal announcement was made.
1t was agreed that until the weather
permits an improvement in railroad
transportation the order shall be con-
tinued in force. A joint statement ex-
planning the conclusions of the fuel
and railroad administrations is ex-
pected today.
Some relief in the east from the bit
ter cold OF the past few days coming
in the wake of recent blizzards was
seen today in slowly rising tsmpera
lures. As result. officials said, In
creased movement of coal might be
expected, but the recent storm had
cut so sharply into coal production
that many industries would be forced
to shut down temporarily if the Mon
day closing was not enforced.

RUSSIAN CHURCH
NO LONGER HOLDS
0LD-T|ME CONTROL
New Government Brings
About Separation, and
Church and Clergy Cut Oft.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The separation
OF state and church by the Bolshevik
government is explained in a long
statement sent abroad by the Bolshe-
vik official news agency. From this,
1T is apparent that all ecclesiastical
property has been declared to belong
to the people and is to be used for
the commonwealth.
The Bolshevik commissioners OF
public charity, who have been given
control OF the church possessions, an
nounce that it Is their opinion that
this property should be used solely
Tor the alienation OF the lot of the
classes suffering most from exploit
alton by capitalist society" Accord
insly. the expenditures for the sup
port OF the churches and ecclessiastic-
al ceremonies will be suppressed.
After March l. the clergy will re-
ceive no salaries from the government.
However, they will receive four
weeks salary in advance. Clergymen,
who remain in their positions and who
wish to continue their functions, will
be employed by the commissioner Of
public charity on the collective de-
mand OF the congregations they serve.
Ecclesiastical functions and cere-
monies may be continued on condition
that the clergy accepts as private per-
sons remuneration from the locality
where they officiate.
Referring to the action OF the Most
Reverend DR.. Tikhon. patriarch OF All,
Russia, In issuing an ansthema. the
Petrograd correspondent Of the Times,
says the church has long lost much
OF it's control over the people, owing
to the younger generation tending to-
wards irreligion. For this reason. oe
does not expect that the patriarch's
action will have much effect.
Still Holds Weapon
DR.. Tikhon, however, it is added,
still has powerful weapon at his
disposal. If he should lay the country
under an edict closing the churches
and not permitting the priests to bap-
tie. marry, and bury the dead, the
effect on the population might be i'm
mediate and far-reaching, rs it prob
ably would arouse in the peasants
every superstitious fear.
An official Russian wireless dispatch
contains declaration by Jettish rep.
resentatives from the Lettish councils
OF socialists and soldiers protesting
against the assertion of the Austro-
German delegation at Brest-Litovsk
that the Let's had expressed desire
for separation from Russia. The de-
mand is expressed that the German
and Russian forces be withdrawn
from the Lettish territory, so that the
inhabitants can freely express their
will for unity and undivided existence.

Stamp Drive Begins

The drive for the sale of War Saw
ings Stamps is now on. The Gar
diner Merchants Association has
taken hold of the matter and various
committees have been appointed. In
front of the Johnson House a booth
has been erected and is presided over
by Miss Eleanor McCausland and as
sistants. The blowing of the whistles
throughout the city at 1890 startled
many. and some felt that some great
victory had been won by the allies.
From the booth each day at - o'clock
some speaker will deliver brief adj
dress. Bear in mind that the prim-
airy object of all this is the sale of
War Savings Stamps. When ap-
preached by solicitor, do your bit
and your best. Every little helps.
Help win the war with your quarters,
your halves and your dollars.
