trusting ones In the neverceasing pro-
lection of the sanity founder.
''In the life Of the republic today the
influence of the Dalmatian saint Is
strongly reflected. For a country to
maintain the characteristics Of its
primitive founder Is a social phenom-
enon Of which possibly San Marine
alone can boast.
During the days of Christian per-
secutions, in the middle Of the Fourth
century, Marine and Leo, two stone
cutters Of Arbe, Dalmatia, crossed
the Adriatic and came to Rimini.
Their reason. says tradition, was to
aid Christians, condemned by pagan
rulers, to reconstruct the walls of that
city.
1.-THE walls Of Rimini having been
finished, Leo and Marine locked long
ingly upon the solitude of the two
mountains. AS the hermits of the
Thebaid, who flourished at this same
period, they sought peace and solitude
In those impenetrable heights. Hew-
ing q bed from the rock and cultivat-
ing little garden, Marine found all
his material wants supplied. This
rough bed and site of the garden are
pointed out today by reverent peas
ants. A few slaves followed their
former overseers in order to practice,
undisturbed, their Christian faith.
"Marino's desire was to found a
free society, based upon liberty, JUS
tice, simplicity, charity, virtue, and,
above all, of love of peace. When the
good man came to die he called his
followers about him and bequeathed
to them his mountain, free from every
other man. His parting prayer was
that they never seek enlargement OF
territory by violent means. War,
though a painful necessity for those
acting in self-defeDse, was an I'M
pardonable crime in those who caused
1t. Begging his followers to remain
true to the faith and to live in perfect
accord, freemen all, he passed away,
little dreaming that In the Twentieth
century his little community would
stand, a monument to his peaceful
teachings and simple form of govern
ment, in the midst Of war-torn
world"

Commercial activities were at an ex

end of the first half of the present
calendar year, Trade Commissioner
Butts, at Tokyo, today informed Sec.
rotary of Commerce Hoover in a spe.
cial report. Business, he said, is be.
coming more unsteady, and IL is fear
ed by many that trade in general is
entering n new slump.
Manufacturers and dealers in sta.
pie commodities have been able in
many cases to maintain wholly fic-
titious sales standards with govern
ment aid" Commissioner Butts stated.
1T Is just now being realized that
such procedure must be short-lived
and that return to a normal basis
regulated solely by supply and de-
mand is inevitable" he added In
the meantime, the amalgamation Of
allied industries continues to be the
one means of preventing the failure
of unstable companies and of estab-
fishing a common working agreement
that continued production may be
maintained by all members"
According to Commissioner Butts
Japan's foreign trade in ,une was a
great disappointment, for " was felt
that America would need raw silk, re-

ton. At the same time there was no
revival in the China and South Sea

Commenting on the financial situa-

at considerable discount in dollar ex-
change. Whether or not the govern
ment will take any steps to remedy
this situation is unknown, though 1t is
agreed that the yen may be brought

fight the Russian cholera plague.

Der of German doctors are going
with the medicines to cooperate with
the Russian Red Cross.
A gloomy and desolate picture of
life in Russia is painted In advices
received by the Berliner Tageblatt
through Underground channels"
from Petrograd. The Petrograd cor
respondent of the German news
paper says:
1.-THE discipline OF the workers has
broken down, but there is practically
no work because there are no raw
materials, no iron. no coal, no nails
for building and no tools. In Petro-
grad the ration Of bread is one pound
daily. The people are supposed to
get quarter of "a pound of sugar
monthly and sometimes they get a
pound of dried fish. Spectators are
profiteering in the little stocks of
butter, coffee, lard, shoes, clothing
and other necessities that are on
hand.
"Seventy-five per cent of the fac
tories are idle. The workmen are
fleeing from the country in search of
food.
There are aboue .000.0 900 inhabit-
ants in Saratov and Samara that
are in desperate need. They re
quire approximately 100000 tons OF
grain at once for nourishment. The
crops in the Saratov and Samara
districts were failures.
"a farmer near Saratov writing to a
friend in Petrograd said:
ut is like a desolate district OF the
dead here. The people are living
amidst squalor. filth and disease. IN
less our village gets help the $500
inhabitants will die
Another farmer living In the
Taschelki district OF Samara wrote:
Our people are eating grass and
weeds, field rats and fodder or any
thing else that has any nourishment.
They are so weak that they fall over
one another. In the district of Sa-
ransk the people are mere shadows Of
human beings. IL one secures a
handful OF grain he mixes 1t with tree
bark. ground up acorns and moss and
