transition into tho later Christian feast
of Easter by natural evolution. All
the Christians were not OF Jewish de-
scent and with those of Gentle origin
there was some difference about the
time OF the celebration. With their
thought OF Christ rs the true Pascal
Lamb the jewish Christians deter
mined that the end OF the fast would
coincide with the jewish feast on the
fourteenth day OF the Moon at even
ing and tho Easter festival would fol

days Easter Day was by no means
likely TO fall on Sunday. With tho
Gentle Christians, however, there was
determination to identify the Resur.

origin is pagan and is closely con-
nected with the idea Of regeneration
which is closely allied with thoughts
of fruitful spring.
Curious Celebrations
Curious celebrations of Easter are
held even in our own country when
the Penitent Brothers, tribe Of New
Mexico Spanish Indians, have sing
ular service of self naEellation during
Holy Week, which eliminates in the
flesh and blood crucihXion of a man
who is supposed to represent the Re
deemer, There has been little written
of this, due to the fact that it is very
difficult for white man to get into
their reservation at that time and still
more difficult to obtain photographs
of the ceremony, yet this was accom-
plished several years ago. The Peni-
tents, as they call themselves, belong
to an order which was founded three
hundred years ago, and at the time of
its inception had nothing of the
scourge Idea about II. Gradually how
ever, it developed into n fanaticism.
During Lent these people stick cactus
needles into their bare flesh and beat
themselves with thongs. The great
day of penance occurs on Good Fri
day, when the Procession OF the Cross
takes place. About twenty-five OF the
"brothers," led by three men who are
usually bleeding from their self-inflict-
/ ed wounds and bearing crosses, come
into the little adobe town. The crosses
are heavy and the men often fall be
meath them. They chant in weak
voices as they walk. There seem to
be a strange reverence among the peo
pie during the procession, and finally
the Golgotha is reached. Here the
man representing Christ is said to be
actually crucihed and buried. Wheth
er this has taken place since the yeai
nineteen hundred is not known, but
at one time their order was allowed
to practice its rites. and the members
of the order took good care that Wis
itors or officials were tabooed.
Down in Mexico City they have an
other curious custom-that of The
burning in etIlgy of Judas 1scariot

and is a public performance. A few
years ago they also burned his wife.
although where they learned that
Judas had wife cannot be ascer-
tanned.
Celebrated With Pomp
Easten Is celebrated with the great
est ceremony in Catholic countries,
especially in the cities OF Rome, Italy
and Seville, Spain, where the entire
Holy Week is given over TO Church
professions and to scenes of the Pas
sion of Christ. Both these cities are
crowded with tourists who pay fabu-
lous hotel rates in order TO be present
at the ceremonies,
In Seville the entire Holy Week Is
given over to street professions when
huge silver figures of Christ and the
Virgin are borne through the streets
by black robed men.
In Jerusalem the Easter celebra-
ton centers around the Church OF the
Holy Sepulcher one of the customs
is for the entire congregation to enter
the church on their knees. on Easter
eve the Miracle of the Holy Fire marks
the greatest day of the year. A huge
platter of fire is carried about the
streets and is supposed to be sent from
heaven and to perform the miracle ot
not burning human being. Often
from one hundred to Ave THOUSAND
dollars are paid by wealthy people
I who are i'll and cannot come to church
to have It carried to their home.
In Palestine there is a service, In
cluding the Lords Supper, celebrated
at midnight on Easter eve, after which
the people go home and sleep until
Easter morning when they have a
grand feast,
In Russia on Easter Day there Is the
blessing of the waters. Wherever there
/ is river near the town or city the
bishops or priests Of the Greek Church
hold a service during which the water

irrespective Of the day of the month.
Thus IN the early days of Christianity
two Easter Days occurred the same
year-the one of the Jewish Chris
tians commemorating the fourteenth
day of the Moon, and those who kept
the Sunday following the fourteenth
day of the Pascal moon.
Date Set by Moon
Before tho middle of the second
century was reached the date of the
festival was changed, and after several
conferences between the Pope and
Church officials It was decreed that
Easter should fall on the first sunday
after the full Moon which happens
upon or next after the twenty-frst OF
March. This makes Easter come as
early as March 22nd or as late as
April 25th.
on several occasions the Jewish
Passover and the Christian Easter
have occurred at the same tlme-the
most recent In 1903 This will take
place again in 1922, 1927, and then
not until 1881.

in the situation? We had promised
the Allies that by July, 1918, we would
have in France coo, 900 men. At that
date we had on foreign soil over two
million men, and had promised four
million by July, 1919.
1t is true that only a comparatively
small number OF these two million
actually took part in the struggle, but
it was the fact that they were avail

custom Is still kept up in Russia. In

really begin on the preceding morning
with tho mass OF Holy Saturday in
which the short vespers of Easter are
included-a trace OF the times of
primitive severity when the mass for
that day was celebrated in the even
ing.
The Hare And Egg Pagan
Many of the customs practiced at
the Easter season have no connection
whatever with the religious and are
for the most part remnants of the
pagan celebration. Few people who
purchase the inevitable rabbit shown
in the shop window know that the lit
tie figure Is made to represent hare
and not rabbit and that 1t has moth
ing to do with the celebration of our
modern Easter, but is connected with
the worship of the Moon in the spring.
Rabbits are always born blind while
hares come into the world with eyes
wide open. The full Moon is supposed
to be u wide-open watcher, and those
, who desire to study the subject will
find that the Egyptian word for hare
and their word for open or opener
are identical. Thus the hare is con-
: nected with the thought of the open
) ing Of the year and the spring. The
{ hare is used as the symbol OF spring

WILSON ST SCHIERA APERTA.
MENTE CONTRO L'ITALIA

PARIGI, 23-Il Presidente Wilson
ha in questo pomeriggio emesso un
communicate ufficiale per spiegare lie
ragioni per cui ST oppone ALA con-
cessione di'Fiume alPItalia.
Wilson ia notare che lie condizioni
esistenti al tempo in cui IL Patio di
Londra fu concluso sono state alte-
rate dallo disgregamento delrAustria
Ungheria, dalla creazione di nuo-
vi Stati Egli insiste che la Confe-
renza della pace deve applicare
principi stabiliti nell'armistizio nei
suoi famosi quattordici punt.
'Se questi principi sono stretta-
mente osservati - dice il comuni-
cato - Fiume deve servire come
sbocco al commercio, non delPItalia
ma dele terre del nord-ovest: PUn-
gheria, la Boemia, la Rumenia ed il
nuovo State della Jugoslavia.
'L'assegnare Fiume all'Italia
creerebbe il sentimento che moi alb
biamo deliberatamente messo quel
porto, su cui quei paesi principalmen-
te dipendono per Paccesso al Medi-
terraneo, nella mani di una potenza
della quale quelle nazioni non for
mano parte integrale, la cui sovra-
nita, Sc cola stabilita, sembrerebbe
inevitabilmente straniera, non do
mestica.'
ii Presidente conclude facendo no
tare che timori di aggressione che
esistevano quando fu concluso il
Trattato di Londra piu non esistono.
