PICKS TEDDY TO RULE RUSSIANS Soldiers Would WorsHip Him, Says Head of Serbian Orthodox Mission Chicago.—"Russia needs a strong man, a political Moses, to bring or der out of chaos. If Roosevelt had been a member of the American Mission, the Bolsheviki probably would not have gained control of the country. Kerensky would have maintained his power. Roosevelt, or a man of his type, could be ruler of Russia, if he so desired." This declaration was made the other day by the Very Rev. Archi mandrite Mardary Uskokovich, head of the Serbian orthodox mission in North America, who is the recogniz ed head ot the Serbian branch of the Russian orthodox church in the United States. His opinion was l acked bv the Very Rev. Vladimir V. Alexandrof, archpricst of the Russian church in North America. Father Uskokovich hits establish ed headquarters in t'hicago. He was brought to the United States in Oc tober by Father Alexandrof. and since has been visiting Serbian col onies :n c'ifTerent parts of the coun try. "The American mission accom plished wonders." asaid Father Al exandrof. who was speaking for both, as Father Uskokovich lias not yet master English. "Mr. Root. Mr. Crane, Mr. McCormick and others rendered invaluable assistance. They were besieged for advice. lam only sorry the mission did not remain lonper. Most of all. I wish that Roosevelt had been there, Kerensky then would have maintained his power. "Roosevelt to-day could go to Russia and become Commander-in- Chief cf the Russian armies. The soldiers would worship him and fol low him to the death. Kerensky. while a reformer and a great speaker was not capable of wielding the big stick. It also is too bad that lyeren sky did r.ct work with Kornilofl'. Together they might have pulled out r.f danger." Father Alexandrof also declared Russia needs American business men and American captains of in dustry. Even the Fishes Have Their Love Affairs Detroit. Mich.—This is no "fish" story as the term is usually referred to. but it is a story about fish. Jim Foster, student of fish affairs, vouches for its authenticity. Jim has a collection of big live fish in a small aquarium in a down town restaurant and for twelve hours every night he watches them perform. "The fish are very affectionate." declared the fish student "They are good tempered and kind towa/d one another. See those two largest fish? They are 'married' I guees or else in love with each other. They al ways kiss each other good night and nibble affectionately at each other's mouths. The female of the two never puts her cold fins on the male one's bark. And in the morning— say. it's amusing to watch them yawn and stretch themselves." UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE SPIKED HELMET Account of Wedding 5 Years Previous Printed Pittsburgh.—One of the most pe- j culiar mistakes ever made by a news- i paper in Pittsburgh was perpetrat- I ed last Sunday in the society col- ■ nmns of the "Gazette-Times" when ' a long account of a wedding that took place on May So. 1913, was giv en as having happened the previous I day. It related to the marriage of John Miller Freeman and Miss Evelyn j Mary Lippa, daughter of Madame Ockleson Lippa, at one time a fore- j most organist of this city. The I story last Sunday started off by say- I ing: "As a fitting prelude to the' month of roses a brilliant wedding i took place yesterday at the Church j of the Ascension," and then pro- i ceeded to give the names of the at- j tending parties, description of the j decorations, ushers, matrons of hon- j or (Mrs. Herbert Hunton Clark, of j Crystdl Lake, K J.>, sfs well as the i program at the reception in the Lip-1 pa home later in the evening. The j story wound up with the announce- j ment that the honeymoon trip would j consist of a "tour of the continent j after sailing on the Adriatic in the | middle of the week." The matter caused a sensation in ! society circles and inquiries have ! been made as to how the story came i to be published in such a way, but I without any public explanation by I the newspaper concerned. Aged Woman's Dog Saves Her Life by Bringing Help Bath. Pa. —Mrs. Elizabeth George.! a widow, eighty-seven years old, living alone at Moorestown, four! miles from here, was saved from! bleeding to death by her dog, which I summoned help. Mrs. George fell on the cellar steps, and in trying to get up, fell again, tearing away the skin and flesh to the bone on the right side of her forehead, almost to the right ear. A five-inch and a two-inch gash were cut on her head. She was bleeding profusely, and her dog, see- j ing the critical situation, ran to the door, placed his paw on the latch and opened it. He ran to the barn, ] where a neighbor, Erwin Burkhardt, was working. The dog jumped up at him. barked loudly and pulled at his clothes. Burkhardt suspected that some thing serious had happened, and fol lowed the dog to the house. There he found Mrs. George, unconscious, on the kitchen floor. A physician was summoned in a few minutes and he succeeded in stopping the bleeding and saving the aged woman's life. Nell, the dog, is now a heroine in the eyes of all the neighbors. Indiana's Prohibition Law Is Declared Void Evansville, Ind.—lndiana's state wide prohibition law was held to be unconstitutional and void by Judge F. M. Hostetter, of the Vanderburgh county superior court, here to-day in ruling on a demurrer to a com plaint filed by brewing companies against the county prosecutor to en join him for enforcing the law after April 2, 1918, the date named for it to take effect. The action of the court disposes of the last of the preliminary steps be fore actual trial on the facts, and opens the way for an immediate ap peal to the Indiana supreme court, if the dry interests desire to take that step. Judge Hostetter declared that the prohibition law, in his opinion, was not one designed to limit and regu late the making and handling of alcoholic beverages, nor to confine the use of such beverages within the bounds of temperance and mo deration, but absolutely to make temperate and moderate use of in toxicating liquor legally impossible. He decided the present constitution of Indiana would not permit such a law to stand.

Eighty Businessmen of Grace Methodist Church Attend Noon Luncheon More than eighty businessmen of Grace Methodist Church with their friends attended the second of a se ries of weekly luncheons being held in the Y. M. C. A. by the church as part of the three-week campaign which is being conducted by the Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell. The first of the luncheons was held last Thursday, but this week it was decided to postpone it until Friday because of another luncheon given yesterday by the Chamber of Com merce. The guests of honor to-day were Charles M. Alexander and his company, who are here to sing at the Y. M. C. A. convention. Following the luncheon to-day the Rev. Dr. Bagnell presided at a short service of song led by Mr. Alexander. The noted singer then gave a short talk on "The Soldiers in the Camp" and told of the religious work being done there. He said that 365,000 men in the Army and Navy have joined the Pocket Testament Deaguc, The next luncheon will be held next week and another attractive program is being arranged for the event. Businessmen of the city are being invited to attend, as the talks are given 011 subjects of interest to them. Mr. Alexander gave all present a most profitable presentation of the work of the Pocket Testament League. He told of the remarkable interest throughout the Army camps here and abroad In the distribution of these Testaments among the sol diers and the appreciation of the men for the little book which they pledge themselves to read every day. He told of the conversion of thou sands of men through the reading of the Testament and said that a spiritual interest was aroused in this way that could not possibly be arous ed in the ordinary evangelistic way. He also distributed to all present a little book containing the Gospel of St. John and several familiar hymns which have proved immensely pop ular among the soldiers. He said that many a soldier who had been care less as to his personal conduct has been brought into line for better things throught the use of this little book. It was a most unusual meet ing and Mr. Alexander was given an ovation at its close Mother Starves Self When Her Son Enlists Milwaukee. —Six weeks ago the son of Mrs. Amelia Bierman enlist ed in the Army and since then she has refused to eat.

EAST FACES FOOD CRISIS DURING THE NEXT SIXTY DAYS Situation Critical; Worst in Country's History, Public Is Informed NVashington, D. C„ Feb. 2 2.—The eastern part of the United States faces a food shortage likely to con- ! tinue for the next sixty days. In making this disclosure last night Food Administrator Hoover ' declared that the situation is the most critical in the country's his tory and that in many of the large consuming areas reserve food stores are at the point of exhaustion. Cereal For Allies Mliort Cereal exports to the Allies, Mr. Hoover's statement says, will be 45,- 000,000 bushels short by the end of February, and meat and pork ship- I ments also are far short of the amounts promised. A large part of the corn crop is about to spoil because it is not mov ing to terminals for drying. The per centage of soft corn in last year's crop, all of which must be dried if j it is to be saved, is the largest ever known. Estimates place the amount as high as a billion bushels. The cost of grains for feeding live stock has increased to such an ex tent by reason of transportation dif ficulties, Mr. Hoover says, that feed ers are confronted with prospect of serious losses. Dairying interests, too. lie declares are hard hit. Potatoes, the Food Administrator declares, are spoiling in the pro ducers' hands, while consumers have been supplied only from summer garden crops and stores carried over. There is in addition an enormous increase in the cost of feeding live stock on account of demoralization in transportation conditions, which have also worked to the disturbance of price conditions to the point where the law of supply and demand has been practically suspended. Transportation Ilia mod Food Administrator Hoover declar ed that the United States had fallen far behind its agreed, food program with the Allies, solely to the railway congestion since the early part of December." From sources close to Director General of Railroads W. G. McAUoo it was learned that'the railroads are in a position to move the food sup plies promised to the Allies, pro vided they are told where the sup plies are located. Mr. Hoover declared that "the least amount of grain that must be loaded for the next sixty days is 8,- 000,000 bushels a day," and this, it is understood, the railroads stand ready to do. From Mr. Hoover's viewpoint, the question is one of transportation, •and the transportation officials be lieve it one of production and get ting the supplies to the carriers. The food administrator declared "the simple fact is, the problem goes far deeper than supplies to the Allies. During the last three months we have fallen far behind in move ment of foodstuffs from the farms to the consuming and storage cen ters," and he added that the next sixty days will be the "most critical period in our food history." Price conditions have been dis turbed by the virtual suspension of the law of supply and demand, he said, and the safety of soft corn and i other perishables, especially pota toes, has been jeopardized, i Mr. Hoover declared the economic ramifications of the delay in rail movement are almost countless, and the only solution lies in the move-' nicnt of foodstuffs to the exclusion of "much other commerce of the country." Plot on Prohibition Is Charged by Berry Philadelphia, Feb. 22. —Pennsylva- nia politicians suspected of being al lied with the liquor interests, ac cording to Bishop Berry, are seeking to "sidestep" the issue of ratification of the prohibition amendment by of fering to give Pennsylvania a local ■ option law if temperance leaders will drop the agitation for ratification. Practical politicians, the Bishop said, have been interviewing the temper ance men and trying to persuade them that a local option law will be the best thing for the common wealth. "There must be no sidestepping; we want ratification," Bishop Berry reiterated. The Bishop said that the unanim ity of the temperance organizations upon the subject is remarkable. In the campaign which is opening every temperance body in the state will be united in demanding the ratification of the prohibition amendment, he said. Politicians, the Bishop said, are seeking to have the ratification sub mitted to a referendum at the May primaries. "This is only another form of sidestepping, and the people will have none of it," says Bishop Berry. KhBK"U A"KY 22, 1918. Fanatics' Appeal to the Snake God Fails Tokio —A clash between Japanese gendarmes and a peculiar sect of worshippers of a snake god has oc curred at a Corean village in Kogen do district. The band of religious zealots assembled with the intention of migrating to a neighboring town for religious propaganda, declaring that their deity had ordered them thither. The chief of the village demanded payment of all taxes in ar rears. This order was resisted. Po lice summoned by the chief were overpowered. Mr. Sato, head of the local police, went to the scene of dis turbance but was unable to restore order. The forty religious fanatics at tacked them with swords and spears.
