RUSSIA HAVING
TROUBLE WITH
LIGHT SUPPL1
OMSK, Siberia, Feb. 3 (Correspom
ence of the Associated Press).—Fim
ing the necessities of life for the pei
pie Is one of the great problems of th
All-Russian government having il
headquarters here. Light is one <
the most urgent needs. Electrieit
exists spasmodically in less than ha
the city. The burning of an electri
power plant caused a big section t
depend entirely on petroleum, or ker<
sene, and candles. But the stock c
petroleum is almost exhausted am
candles are becoming rare.
The loss of Samara has proved
• eS~”
great blow In this respect, for througl
Samara from the rich petroleum dls
tricts of the Caucasus qame the Omsl
supply of petroleum, oil and fats. Tin
lack of grease for the wheels of th<
railway cars is a very serious matte:
in connection with the question o
_ transport, already difficult on accoun
1 of general disorganization. Candle:
cost 8 rubles apiece and are difficul
to find.
Light is essential in the dead o
1- winter here, because night begins al
1- 4 o’clock in the afternoon and con
). tinues until 8 o’clock in the morning
e The absence of light in the streets a
s night leads to frequent robberies am
f occasionally to more serious incidents
y Tt is unsafe to go out at night alone
f especially in dark, unfrequented thor
c oughfares.
0 The only public attraction at Omsl
i- is the theater and a few moving pic
f ture auditoriums. There are one oi
1 two large restaurants where one may
dine for 50 or fiO rubles. But generally
i speaking, Omsk at night is deserted.
BELGIUM REPORTS
TUAT NECESSITIES
ARE SCARCE THERE
! WASHINGTON, April 3,—Interest
; ing sidelights on present day condi
tions in Belgium are given in an of
ficial Belgian bulletin issued here,
containing advice to repatriates and
others going to Belgium.
‘‘The first commodity you must ab
solutely take with you,” says the bul
letin, “is patience, and no small quan
tity, either. Life is by no means easy
and cannot be easy till, later, when
the reconstruction of Belgium has
actually begun.
“Since there is at present no wool
or cotton nor garments of any kind,
nor shoes except at fabulous prices,
be careful to renew your wardrobe
and to provide yourself with enough
wool for your bedding.
“Ladies, do not forget—this is a
most valuable piece of a'dvice—to
carry thread, needles and pins. Also,
since paper has reached an extraordin
| ary value in Belgium, be sure to take
boxes of writing paper, pens, ink and
as much ordinary paper as your trunks
will hold. You will find you have
saved about 300 per cent on your
stock.
“As far as food and provisions are
concerned, do not hesitate to pro
vide yourselves with as much sugar
as you can get. There are some sub
urbs in Brussels where no sugar has
been distributed for six weeks. As
for butter, it has disappeared since
the government brought the price
down to 8.50 francs ($3.70). The
farmers prefer to sell milk rather
ihan to have it for butter, and as a
consequence not a single pound is dis
played in the shop windows. Mar
garine does not even exist any more, !
so bring some of each. !
"Though Brazil sends us coffee it j
still costs 10 francs ($2.00) a kilo. ;
There is no cocoa left at all, nor
candy, preserves, etc. Ham is not so
scarce, but very dear.”

SUGGESTS UNION
OF TWO CHURCHES
LONDON, Ap;il 3.—Definite pro
posals lor a union of the Wesleyan
Methodist church with the Church of
England are made by the Right Rev.
Dr. Arthur F. W. Ingram, Bishop of
London. The bishop suggests that
Anglicans and Wesleyans should
unite, because, he says, “no religious
body was ever closer to the church
than the Wesleyans.”
Under his plan, bishops would be
present at the ordinations of the Wes
leyan Methodist church which would
become an order within the church of
England, but would retain its own
practices. Wesleyan pastors would, if
they preferred, be ordained by Wes
leyan bishops.
When the principle of union was
established, the Bishop of London
