CLAIMS WALKED AND TALKED
 WITH ANGELS

NORWICH, Eng, Nov.7 Much controversy has been aroused by public declaration on the part of the Rev C. Maurice Elliot that he has seen and walked and talked with angels.
 MT Elliott is the rector of the Lin colnshire parish of Snitterby. He has given Circumstantial account of meeting with an angel at time when opinion was divided on the question of performing an operation on her.
 My wife and prayed that an angel might be sent to tell us distinctly whether an operation was required, says MT Elliott. The angel came to us We both saw him He was Of the male sex bright and shining in appearance, and dressed in white. He said: Tn answer to your prayer the Lord has sent me to tell you that the specialist who advises an operation is wrong in his diagnosis and that such operation would be fatal
 T said to this guardian angel. Will you now lead me to some medical man or surgeon who will prove to me scicn- ruoaIIy that you are right" The angel replied Yes and told me to take my wife to Brighton
 We went to Brighton and the angel led Us to certain hotel and told us to take rooms there. and said that seated next to Us at the table would be a lead ing London surgeon. and that after din ner he would go up into the drawing room alone. and that I was tO follow him and engage him in conversation until extracted the promise from him that he would examine my wife that night
 All this actually happened. The surgeon. who was a Harley street man, examined my wife that night and as sured me that uo operation was need ed and that everything would come out all right
 "I then told him that I was told to speak to him by guardian angel, to which he replied: T am not in the least surprised, because before I left Lon, don to come here for a few weeks rest by fhe sea knelt down and asked God to cad me to some one to whom my knowledge and skill could he of real help We grasped hands and gloried in the fact that there was such thing as lively faith"
 Mr Elliott holds firmly to his be. lief that a persons guardian angel is always with him "Thero are many mna and women with peculiar psychic gjfrs and in the presence of such DOT, sons angels are able to matcrialIzc." c."

 PETROGRAD, Oct. 15.-(by maiD. .- There is another Petrograd not sug- gested by talks with the Soviet lead CTS at Smolni or meals in the restau- rants and cafes opened in the Nevski Prospect by aristoCratic ladies now turned profiteers-the PetrOgrad of the common people and I was at pains to discover it
 The plight of the average citizen both as regards fuel and food is a very terrible one. and as the winter approaches is likely to become almost unbearable The fuel shortage is more acute than during the past three winters for the very reason that the experiences then adopted were such as cannot often he repeated.
 Hardly ton of coal can he bought in Petrograd and the price of wood has risen to level which places it out of the reach of everyone except the very rich.
 NECESSITY THE MOTHER-"
 Public and private ingenuity to pro vide fuel for the winter months has not yet happily been exhausted The director of the Classical thcaters for instance. has used the knowledge ac quircd when he was practising archi toct to strip the roof of all unnecessary wood. which he proposes to use fol heating the thcaters during rohcarsals and public performances
 Wooden houses pianos. superfluous doors tables. chairs and other pieces of furniture have been chopped up tc he used later as fuel. The canal bargcs are also being sent to Petrograd, not i carrying wood. unfortunately. but tC be broken up themselves for house hold heating and cooking purposes One barge is allotted to each block i of flats for fuel. provided the resi- dents of the favored block naturally there are not enough barges to sup ply the needs of the entire population will break it up and carry the wood from the canal to their homes.
 FOOD SHORTAGE ACUTE
 The food shortage is very acute, al | though large classes of official work CTS - government clerks, dockers school teachers soldiers and secret police get fairly substantial rations
 The recently opened shops gave a few people, moreover, the opporiunity to supplement official rations, but that the prices charged for them are toe high for the purses of the overwhelm 1 ing majority is shown by the follow ! ing list.

USE OF EXPLOSIVES
FOR ILLEGAL ACTS IS
MADE EASY, REPORT

WASHINGTON, March is. With
drawal of supervision over the manu-
facture and sale of explosives with the
repeal by congress of war legislation
has made it easy for anarchists. safe
blowers and others to obtain explos-
ives for illegal purposes, said state
ment issued Thursday by the bureau
of mines.
In urging legislation to control the
handling as well as the manufacture
and sale of explosives the bureau as
serted that the United States is prac-
tically the only civilized government
in the world that fails to exercise a
national supervision over explosives
and declared it is easier to obtain ex-
plosives in this country than in any
other. -.
Large stores of explosive, the state
ment said, have been found within the
limits of cities and towns where an
explosion might cause loss Of life and
property and state convicts have been
known to hide dynamite which they
had for road work to be used for safe
blowing when their terms expired.
The dynamiting of fish, bomb out
RACES and loss of life from miners and
others taking explosives into theiI
homes were pointed to as some of the
results of lack of supervision.
