RAILWAY TRAFFIC HELPS FAMINE IN
 SOVIET RUSSIA
aa-ai-=-a==-=-- By Associated Press

Riga, Latavia. September 11.-Chief among the causes of the threatened famine in soviet Russia this year, which bolshevik newspapers them selves admit is likely to be even worse than last year is the utter disorgan- ization of the railway traffic. This disorganlzation has become worse. de- spite efforts of the soviet govern ment to alleviate it.
 Little or none of the locomotives and other railway equipment ordered from abroad, has as yet arrived. The inadequate supply of workable roll ing stock has, in the meantime, been even further depleted by the necessity of fulfilling peace treaties which soviet Russia made with the Baltic states, such as Latvia. To these states Russia has turned over scores of To- comotives, hundreds of ears and other equipment, much of which had been taken from the Baltic states by the Czaristic and provisional govern ments of Russia in their hasty mili- tary evacuations before the advanc- ing Germans.
 Added to this shortage of eqaip-
  ing condition of deterioriated road- beds. The commissariate of com munications, says a Moscow dispatch taken from various bolshevik news papers is expected soon new railway traffic crisis. The tracks are so much in need of repair that next spring, officials say. it will be danger ous to travel on many lines.
 Enbankments have sunken down ties are rotten, rails are worn out If the chief forest committee is not able to supply, by the beginning of 1922, nearly 15,000,000 ties it will be necessary to interrupt traffic on some main lines. Even if 1t were possible to get the necessary materials, says the dispatch, it is probable that through scarcity of labor or some other un- expected crisis, it will be necessary to stop traffic on some branch lines. On double track lines, only one track is to be repaired. stripping the other track of it's rails to do this, in order to have at least a fairly efficient single track.

DEATH OF PRIEST
 WHO PROTECTED.
 4PASSI0N PLAY
By Associated Press

Oberammergau, September H. Through the death of Father Schroe- der. who has been the priest in charge of the Oberammergau village church for 32 years. and the most zealous supporter of the traditions of the Passion Play.'Athis little village has been much saddened just at the time when preparations for the production of >the Passion Play" in 1922 are under way.
 The first texts of the Passion Play" were prepared by priests and monks from the Ettal monastery and repeated revisions have been made by the clergy in the past 300 years to adapt the production to changed conditions and improve It's literary character, Father Josep Alois Dais- enberger is chiefly responsible for the text, which has been used now for many decades. and which the re- gently deceased priest, Father Schroe- der. protectd against efforts of many scholars who sought to interweave it with modern ideas which appealed neither to the Oberammergau actors nor their devoted priest.
 Commercial producers in several other German cities are offering re- ligious plays which they advertise in such way as to give the impression that they really are the Oberammer- gau Passion Play" One production which is being given this year openly announces that it uses an old Ober- ammergau text. Motion-picture the- atres are also offering so-called Oberammergau films.
 These productions are extremely distasteful to the Oberammersau peasants, who have never produced the Passion Play outside of their own village and have never allowed their productions to be filmed.
 William Rutz, the burgomaster of Oberammergau. has just issued a statement warning the public against limitations of the play which the Ober- ammergau peasants have given every 10 years for three centuries in full fillment of their ancestors vow to do so in expression of their gratitude to God for the deliverance of the village from the plague.

BEVERAGE FROM WEED

By Science Service.
 Applying scientific methods of tea manufacture to the curing of Wiid weed of the South Atlantic states and devising a special system of prepar- ing the delicious beverage for human consumption, George r. Mitchell, tea specialist of the United States department of agriculture mas rendered available new, stim-- ulating, native and national drink which is purely American ana which, potentially, promises to be the cheapest beverage used in our die tary. MT. Mitchell is not the discov- crer of the new drink-the primitive Indians and early settlers in the Car o1inas, Georgia and Florida ascer- tained the stimulating properties of the native cassina plant which is d most prolific and profusely growing weed which occurs on even the poor est soils of the section under discus sion-but he has accurately appraised it's commercial possibilities, and aft CT intensive effort he has devised ways and means of curing the cassi- na leaves and converting them into a mild and soothing beverage which is as rich as coffee in caffeine con- tent and is practically free of the ob noxious tannin which makes tea ob- jectionable to many consumers.
 The cassina plants are very abund- ant in sections of Texas. Alabama. Mississippi, Georgia, Florida. the Car olinas and Virginia, attaining height of from 15 to 20 feet. Cassina plants are frequently used for hsdge purposes. under which conditions they often grow IS to 20 feet wide and several miles long.
 All the leaves of the bushes can be used for making the new drink. This is an outstanding feature which

RUSSIAN JEWS ARE' LEAVING HURR|EDLY
Fear of Coming Crisis Is Be- lieved to Be Behind Exodus
 to Neighboring Countries
By Associated Press

Berlin, September 11.-Thousands of Russian Jews are crossing the Esthonian. Lithuanian and Polisl, borders every month, many sent from Soviet territory under protec- ton of high bolshevist officials, ac- cording to travellers in the border states who recently have returned here. The opinion in neighboring states is that the exodus is prompted by fear of an approaching crisis.
 The rumored crises in Russia al- ways have been discounted here, but in well-informed sources it is be- lieved the situation really Is serious now, and will be more serious in the winter months, for 1t is known the grain crops largely have failed, pro- visions of all sorts are scarce, and there is little gold with which to purchase more.
 Starvation already has taken .oil of the population of a number of ais tricts, and wide areas are facing tie longer winter with only a few weelSs' supply of provisions on hand.
 The fact that no appreciable- or- ganized Russian anti -bolshevist movement has appeared since Baron Wrangell's forces were dissipatel leads observers of the situation here to believe that should the overthrow of the soviets occur this winter. it will take the nature of a popular up- rising, supported by such troops as are not at the front Many fear it will result in widespread anti-Jew- ish programme.
 For these reasons every Jew tsh family of means. and many that are destitute, are attempting to get odt of Russia. They have no desire to tarry in Lithuania or Esthonia, but are seeking to enter Germany, with the idea of eventually reaching America.

TURKS WOULD KILL
 GREEK POPULATION
 ON THE BLACK SEA
Pan-Epirotic Union of Amer ica Has Made Public Cable Message From pr. Tho
 idis, Exposing Hand
By Associated Press

Boston, September II. - Charging that ''the Turks evidently have a deliberate plan of extermina t. ing the entire Greek population on the shores of the Black sea-" the Pan-Epirotic Union of America with headquarters here has just made public 8 cable message from Dr. Thoidis, president of the League cf the Greeks of Pontus, in which he makes, fin the name of justice and the most sacred rights of man, a last appeal to the humanitarian sent,- ments of the United States"
 The message, dated Constantinopie, reads as follows:
 The inhuman acts, assassinations, thefts, violations, arbitrary confisoa- tions of property, all sorts of male- factions unheard of before, are in the daily programme since the arm istice in the littoral of the Pontus and in the interior of Asia Minor.
 Recent news just received from the Pontus described with the blaoA- est colors the desperate condition of the Greek population. The male Creek population from 13 to 50 years of age of all the cities of the Pontus, 1neboii, Samsoun, Kerassund. Ordop, Tripoli. as far as Trebizond has been deported to the interior.
 
 'The largest part of this popula- tion has been massacred on the way by the Turks and those who could survive have arrived by way of Siva as far as Albostan in Kurdistan. The fate of the Christian villages of the interior Is ignored The village of Ada and it's surrounding country, containing Greek population of nearly $500 persons, has been burned down and their inhabitants mas sacred by the Turks who turned these villages into ashes after hav- ing plundered them. Other TO vil- lages around Samsoun were pillaged and burned down some time ago.
 ''Yesterday the commander of the American torpedo boat 2S2, V. $. Houston, brought the news that on July 19 the Turks compelled the women, the girls and the children, who were abandoned by their rela- tives now in exile, to vacate their houses and also to be ready to start for an exile. Fifteen thousand CT these unfortunate beings from Saia- soun, 6,000 from Kerassund and Hl000 from Ordou, Ouniah, Fatsa, etc, are in danger of being annihilated, 1t they are not already.
 Tn the name of justice and of the most sacred rights, of man, we make last appeal to the Humanitarian sentiments of the people of the United States and we ask the gov ernment of the United States to .alse immediately such measures which shall be judged convenient to put an end to this condition of things which constitutes a shame in the full light of the twentieth century"

WILL BRING ART
 WITHIN REACH OF
 THE GREAT MASSES
By Assoclnted Preas

New 1ork, september ll,-To bring the enjoyment or art within ths reach of the great mass of the Amer ican people is one of the objects of the Art Center, Incorporated, new gently formed in New York. Will liam L. Harris, mana ging director, in explaining it's purposes, said it is designed to bridge the chasm be- tween beauty and utility, that has existed for the past 200 years, in the objects and surroundings of every day life"
 Seven societies are included in the new center to coordinate art in trade, to provide a clearing house for orative crafts and industrial and graphic arts of America. It will aim to foster all arts adapted to com mon needs, promote good taste, as- sst all industries connected with home making, and quicken the mau- ufacture of furniture, draperies, car pets, wallpaper, china, silverware and linen to meet the artistic com- petition of Europe. Mrs. Ripley Hitchcock, president of the new venture, also was or ganizer of the Art Alliance of Amer lea, of which the Art Center, incor- porated, is the direct outcome.
 Our country" she said. lis a great industrial nation without any indus- trial art and not until we apply art to our industries will we be able to bring the enjoyment of art to the great mass of our people. The art directors of our publishing and ad- vertising concerns spend every year more money for American art than all our art patrons in America. We l shall endeavor to make Art Center, | Incorporated, a place where creators of American art can exhibit their work and where the real patrons nf American art, the publishers, adver l tisers and manufacturers, can sec them"
 Mir Harris, who is graduate ,s | the Beaux Arts in Paris and who has made church decoration tais
 particular field, said that the ten dency Tn the world at large or sep arating art from trade has been greatly accentuated since the advent of machinery" At the present time. the lack of traiaed workers and skilled designers is real menace" he declared. Many of our most valued industries are today abso- | lutely dependent on skillful crafts men trained in European countries.
 "The Germans are mobilizing their industrial art forces right now to capture the markets of the world and are devoting special attention 10 the weak spots In our industrial sys- | tenn, intending to profit by our lm- practical methods of education. Our students and artists need a | thorough understanding of the many | exacting requirements of modern manufacturers. Year after year our manufacturers have gone to Paris for designs because foreign designs could always be worked out on na- chinery. To have the foundation of some of the nations greatest indus
 tries placed in foreign lands is Dos l litically unsound and industrially dangerous.

 Increased yelping from the mor- grel pack might bring them swarin- experience in dealing with them; no knowledge of their prejudices or lan guage to trade with. In our haste we circled through the town twice, threading corrals and back yards Suddenly, the town still tensely sill ent, we emerged into a shallow plaza. Crossing directly before our lights came a young man. tall and supple. his straight short locks bound with scarlet fillet, his profile clear and patrician, and over his shoulders q scarlet robe covering his white cot ton trousers As he passed us, un- moved and stolid, he spoke one word of salutation, and continued on his way across the silent plaza
 Simple as was the incident, the flash of scarlet against the blue black sky, the dignity and silence of the Indian, made the climax we had been awaiting. Nothing else hap pened But 1t had been night whose setting was so sharply defined, it's premonitions so vibrantly tense with i drama, that only that little was needed to carve it on our memory ------.a.-----------

adapts the eassina plant for bever- age manufacture, inasmuch as the cutting and curing of the leaves arc simplified and not expensive hand la bor operations as in the case of the tea leaf harvest. About two decades ago Uncle Sam acclimated and adapted many varieties of tea to cul- tural conditions in South Carolina, but his representatives were unable to produce the tea satisfactorily on commercial scale due to the fact that the choice, tender leaves and buds of the tea plants have to be cut out by hand, making the cost of har vest labor excessive.
 This impeachment to the development of a commercial industry will not handicap the cassina beverage pro- ject because mechanical haryesters can be used to expedite cutting.
 At present large amounts of wild cassna are available as waste weeds On abandoned land which could be profitably harvested and cured for beverage purposes. MT. Mitchel pur- poses to continue his invest gatfons and to attempt to breed and cross breed varieties of the weed cassina which are richest in caffeine so that ultimately he can specialize in the Ol tHcSt euPtIlOT under pains taking conditions of proper cultivation and care. He has worked out practical methods of cur ing and possessing the cassina-like tea, adapting labor-saving tea ma chinery to these operations. He makes the drink exactly like coffee by either boiling for three minutes or percolating for five minutes. All tea and beverage experts who have sampled the new drink have declared it the equal or superior of tea and coffee in either the hot or the iced form It is anticipated that the com mercialization of the cassina plant as a beverage base will not conflict with the existent tea and coffee busi- ness as there is also room on our national menu for another drink particularly one of the made-ln- America type,
