CHAMBER URGES MEMBERs
 TO FILE GERMAN q

The Connecticut chamber of commerce is sending out hurry up notice to all of it's members so that they may file their claims against the German and Austri- an government before the time expires on January 1St, 1923. These notices are go- ing both to the local chambers of com merce who will be asked to at once noti- fy their own members and also to the in dividuals and corporations belonging to the chamber. The letter is as follows:
 There has been brought to the atten- tion of The Connecticut Chamber of commerce the necessity for prompt action in the case of those having claims for losses due to the action of the German and Austrian governments during the war. These claims are secured by funds in the hands of the alien. property cus- todian, which are to be held until Ger many has made full provision for the pay ment of the claims, and may cover direct losses, as, for instance, where property has been confiscated, or indirect losses, as, for instance, war risk insurance prem- iums paid.
 %These claims should be presented to the mixed claims commission at Washing ! ton before January 1st, 1923. and it is feared that many claims, including those of some Connecticut people, may be lost | through failure to act.
 T am, in turn, calling this to your at tention, in order that you may give the matter such publicity as you deem prac- ticable"

SUPREME HEAD OF RUSSIAN CHURCH
 CONDUCTS CHRISTMAS MASS HERE

One of the most unusual religious ceremonies that ever occurred in this city was held Christmas morning at St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox church on Convent avenue, when the Metropolitan Platon. formerly archbishop of Odessa, and now supreme head of the Russian Orthodox church in North America, wis., ited the church and officiated at the mass. The little church, in which there are no seats, was crowded to capacity. not only with Russians, but many of the Protestant ministers of the town and members of their congregations were present having been extended spe- cial invitations by the rector of the church, Rev. A. E. Bondarchuk.
 The mass began promptly at 10 o. clock, the metropolitan entering the church in a procession in which Russian and Greek Orthodox clergy1nen partici- pated. The gorgeous coloring of the vestments of the priests, the portable ikons, or banners, and the flags of the United States and Russia made a most unique picture.
 The metropolitan Is a man of inn mense stature and strength. Towering above the congregation, he commanded the respect of all present. Upon en- tering the ediice, he was presented the offering of bread and salt. which is a custom in the Near East, being a token of hospitality. He advanced to the cen ter of the church, where his cloak was taken from him and he donned vest ments of cloth of gold, the jewel studd- ed mitre was placed upon his head, and he took up the crozier or pastoral staff which is the insignia of his rank.
 In the Orthodox church. all bishop1 are equal among themselves, owing to their common grace of priesthood. But as the districts subject to their juris- diction differ in size and importance as regarded in earthly kingdoms and empires, there are grades in the titles of bishops Those who have charge of only small districts or cities are called simply bishops those whose Jurisdiction extends over larger cities and provinces assume the title of archbishop; the bishop of capital city or metropolis is entitled metropolitan; while the bish. ops of cities which were the very era dies of Christianity, such as Jerusalem
Norwich bulletin., 1922-12-26

and Antioch, have received the title of patriarch.
 His Eminence -Platon. who is attacl- ed to St. Nicholas cathedral in New York thus is the ranking prelate of the church in the United States. Lately ap- pointed metropolitan by Tikhon. patr!- arch of Moscow and of all the Russias, he has assumed the spiritual leadership of millions of the orthodox faith, 5n North America.
 Rev. Dr. Platon blessed the congrega- ton with lighted candles in both hands, which is one of the privileges of high dignitaries in the church. He then spoke for a few minutes, urging the people to be especially thankful this Christmas season that we are living in a land of liberty, and where all relig- ious beliefs are tolerated. He was
 grateful, he said, to see so many
 described the crisis that the Orthodox
 church is passing through in Russia.
 The sermon of the day was by Very
 Reverend V. S. LysenkowSky, >secre- tary to the metropolitan. Professor D.
 T. Petruchuk of New Britain had charge of the music, the human voice as in all Orthodox churches being un- accompanied.
 The clergymen taking part in the services included Archdeacon A. Nsevo- Tod of St. Nicholas Cathedral of New York; Very Reverend Joseph Danke- wich. rector of the Church of the Holy i Trinity, New Britain; Reverend Stefan Burdyko, rector of the Church of St Peter and St. Paul, Meriden; Rev. Vas, fly Koshel. rector of the Church of the
 Holy Trinity. willimantic; Rev. Basi Koskores. rector of the Greek Orthodox
 church, Norwich; Rev. A. E. Bonda-. 1 chuk, rector of St. Nicholas church
 Norwich; and Very Reverend V. S. Ly, | senkowsky, secretary to His Eminenct l Platon
 l Following the services in the church the choir and clergy formed in proces sion around the building, the metropoli l tan blessing the ediice.
 Rev. Dr. Platon is one of those re
 sponsible for the close unity of the | Orthodox church to American Protest | ant churches, and his stand against tht
 soviet government in Russia is knowr ! throughout this country.

NEW RULING FOR

AUTO TAIL LAMPS The adjoining state of Massachusetts recently passed a law under the terms of which it's department of public works, through it's registrar of motor vehicles, will put into effect a set of specifications for the rear or tail light on every car. The law is that, after January 1st, 1923, the operation of any motor vehicle on the highway of Massachusetts, unless equip ped with a rear light approved by the registrar of motor vehicles, is illegal. In furtherance of this Jaw the registrar of motor vehicles has approved a list of rear lamps. .~-
 The commissioner of motor vehicles for Connecticut has written to the registrar to ask what will be the disposition of cas- es of Connecticut cars, not equipped, travelling in Massachusetts and as to whether the enforcement of this law will be put into effect strictly on out-of-srate cars, and has received a letter from him that after the first of the year the law will be strictly enforced against net only the cars of Massachusetts but of all other states
 It ems.snecessary that Connecticut motor vehicle registrants who are intend ling to travel in Massachusetts take cog nizance of this situation at once. The mo- tor vehicle department of the state of Connecticut will do it's best to war it's registrants against going into Massachu- setts without approved rear lamps.
 Information can be had at the Con- necticut motor vehicle department. Com missioner Stoeckel of Connecticut has written to the department of Massachu- setts and has asked that so far as en- forcement against Connecticut cars h concerned, the courtesy of reasonable time after the first of the year may be extended before actual arrests are made There is no certainty however, that thi4 request will be honored and it is neces- essary that all Connecticut registrants take this situation into account forth with
