RUSSIA AGREES
TOU. s. CONTROL
OF FOOD RELIEF
Details Of Carrying Out
Fight Against Famine Yet
to Be Worked Out.
By the Associated Press,


RIGA, August 13.-Control by the
American relief administration of
food distribution in the famine dis
tricts of Russia was agreed to in
principle this afternoon by Maxim
Litvihoff. representative Of the soviet
famine relief committee. The agree
ment was reached in negotiations
with Walter Lyman Brown. European
director of the American relief ad-
ministration. which began here
Wednesday.
Methods Of applying American con-
troll. local administration and other
details were not taken up today, but
are to be considered at a conference
to be held next week.
Following the conclusion of to-
days meeting there appeared to be no
insurmountable obstacle to keep the
American relief administration from
working in harmony with the soviet
government and q Russian non
partisan committee on foreign relief.
n. Litvinoff also accepted the pro-
posal that the American relief adj
ministration be given sanitary con-
troll IN the famine districts. In order
to kuard against cholera, in case such
authority fs asked. He also guaran-
teed personal safety and freedom OF
communication to American. relief
workers, together with equal priority
with Russian famine relief organiza-
tions with regard to transportation.
The soviet authorities are to pay
transport charges from ports to
interior destinations.
Tho main point of contest now ap-
pears to be the apprehension of the
bolsheviki that the Americans might
place active political opponents OF
the soviet into posts where they
would control the Russian committees
on whom the work Of actual distri-
button of American food would fall.

WILL ASK INCREASE
IN POLICE FORCE

More policemen and additional mo-
tor cycle eadipment for members OF
hessorce win be asked Of Congress
in the next District appropriation
bill. Commissioner Oyster indicated
last night.
While the Commissioner has not
yet gone over police estimates with
Maj. Gessford. he said he is sat-
isfied the force should be enlarged
to properly protect city that is
growing as steadily as. Washington.
At the present time there are 922
men on the police rolls. but this fig-
ure includes captains, lieutenants,
sergeants and plain clothes men.
When these grades are eliminated
there remain only s04 patrolmen to
walk the beats. When 1T is remem-
bered that these men are divided
into eight hour shifts the need for
more patrolmen becomes apparent.
Consideration also must be given
to the fact that there are scores of
men on special details, such as the
White House, the embassies and with
IL
time to the enforcement of certain
laws.
Commissioner Oyster said he has
not formed a definite idea as to how
many more men the Commissioners
should ask for. This question will
be settled when the estimates are
under consideration next month.
Force Increased by 100.
Prior to the war there were. ap-
proximately 700 patrolmen allowed
by the police appr ,priation. and dur
ing the conflict the forcs was in
creased by about 100 men.
During and since the war, however
the city has grown rapidly, with new
suburban communities springinE ur
in all sections This, development OF
the suburbs, it is pointed out. ha.
greatly increased the number OF
homes to be protected.
The Commissioner is confident that
when the appropriation bill comes up
for hearing in Congress ne will be
able to show the District committees
of the House and Senate that the per-
sonnel should be increased.
During the. war, and for q Ions
period thereafter. the department
found it almost impossible to get men
for the force who could pass the ply
Nsical examination. with the result
that there were scores of vacancies.
At the present time there are only
twelve jobs on the force unified, Dur
Ing the period when men who would
tske police 5obs could not be found

to increase the number tf positions

THE LITTLE FLOWER
SISTER TERESA or THE CHILD
JESUS TO BE CALLED
VENERABLE

To the readers of The Catholic
Bulletin many of whom undoubtedly
venerate the holy memory and invoke
the powerful intercession Of Teresa of
Lisieux, so affectionarely called the
Little Flower of Jesus it will be
of interest to learn that the process of
her Cause of Beatification has taken
a step forward.
The Carmelite nuns of Oak Lane
Philadelphia received cablegram last
week from the Monastery of Lisieux
announcing that on Sunday August IA
the Sovereign Pontiff, in a solemn de-
cree, would publicly proclaim the
heroicity of the virtues of Sister
Teresa of the Child Jesus. Thence
forth, the title of Venerable will be
given to this servant of God.
Prayers will ascend TO heaven and
hearts will rejoice, CLIENTS of the Lit,
tie Flower" say, at the honor that has
come to their patroness, while they
look forward to the day that will pro.
claim her Blessed anc enable them to
give full scope to their devotion
Meanwhile, the Venerable Teresa OF
the Child Jesus will continue, as she
promised, to send down her Shower
of Roses" upon her faithful clients.

A GRACIOUS ACT
PAPAL NUNclO REFUSES TO IN
CONVENIENCE DISABLED
SOLDIERS.

The arrival of the new Nuncio
Archbishop Cerretti, in Paris was de.
layed by curious material difficulty;
the housing crisis which has affected
the capital for the last few years
made it impossible to find suitable
residence.
Cardinal Annette had bought the
former home of the Countess de Muir
rue Daru in the Pare Monceau quar-.
ter, near the Etoile, for use as Papal
legation. This fact is remarkable be.
cause it proves the confidence of the
late Archbishop of Paris in the re.
newal of relations between the Church
and State. In the meantime, however,
he turned the house over to war or
ganiZatiOnS, for use as hospital
and it has been occupied as the home
for blind soldiers who are being
treated there. A large number of pa.
tients are still being cared for there,
and it would be very painful to have
to move them, as they have become
SO accustomed to the halls, stairWays,
etc., Of the building that they can find
their way about without being led
Mgr. Cerretti heard of this and de
clared that under no conditions would
he be the cause of the removal OF
these poor unfortunate victims of the
war

CATHOLcssARE KILLED.
CHINESE MASSAcREs CAUSE CON.
Germ To MAYNooTH MISSION.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service


Much interest, and some concern, is
aroused in Ireland by the announce
ment from st. Columban's Mission,
Han Yang, Hupeh. China, that twenty
nine Chinese Catholics had been mas
sacred in a pagan temple in, Shu Sha
Win, Ichang, by a fanatical group
under the self-styled "Ta Han King"
They had been brought to the temple
to offer incense to Buddha, and, re-
fusing, gave their blood for the Faith.
Although the three priests who
were also seized, two of whom were
subsequently released, were Belgian,
the anxiety of the Irish people will be
none the less keen for the safety of
the members of the Maynooth Mission,
whose headquarters are at Han Yang,
seeing that 1T is on the border of
Hupeh the massacres took place. A
further reason for concern is that the
Irish Christian Brothers, acting OH the
invitation of the Mission of Han Yang,
will send in September or October, a
band of Brothers to China as directors
of the schools which the Maynooth
Mission has opened there.

MINISTER SHOOTS DOWN PRIEST

volver on that particular night he did
not explain. One bullet of the three
fired entered the left temple of Father
Coyle and passed out of the back of
the head. The priest died an hour
later.
According to Fred McDuff, chief
deputy sheriff, Stephenson had appear
ed at the sheriff's Office about twenty
minutes before the shooting, asking
for the assurance Of a search warrant
for his daughter. He was informed
that he was too late for a search war
rant to be issued and that he would
have to wait until morning. He re-
marked that it might be too late.
Rev. DR.. Robert Echols, Presiding
Elder of the Birmingham District of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Mr.. Stephenson was not a member of
the Southern Methodist Church.

TRIBUTE TO DEAD
$50, goo Is VOTED BY FoREsTERs
TO FUND FOR SHRINE.

Members of the Catholic Order of
Foresters, 10000 strong, were called
upon to make voluntary offering of
fifty cents each toward the National
Shrine of the Immaculate Conception,
following an eloquent address made
by the Rev. Bernard A. McKenna,
secretary of the Salve Regina, at the
convention in Milwaukee.
The adoption of the resolution fol-
lowed discussion of the most ap-
propriate means of memorializing the
three hundred and eighty two members
OF the order who lost their lives in
the great war. Father McKenna
stressed the fact that the National
Shrine was being erected as a tribute
to Americas war heroes. A COM
mittee was appointed to make an ap-
peal to the members and definite
plans for putting the project into eff
feet will be made by this committee.
