FRIDAY EVENING.
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

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.

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.
