TOMORROW IS EASTER.
Easter Sunday, which is tomorrow, was formerly
equivalent to New Year's day: though not the first day oi’
the year it was the day on which the opening of the year
was celebrated. Historically the Christian Easter is sim
%
ply a continuation of the Jewish Passover, which was cel
ebrated on the 1 It:t Jav of the first month of the Jewish
%
year—that is. on the day of the first full moon next fol
lowing the day of the equinox.
It has been questioned whether any special observ
ances of th: i da.' w as practiced or enjoined by the apostles
and the eariv Church Fathers: vet the words of St. Paul

i! Cor. •"*: 7-8) seem to sanction if they do not recommend
an observance of some sort and foreshadow the thought
which came finally to underlie it: “For even Christ our
passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the
feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of mal
ice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sin
cerity and truth.”
According to the Jewish tradition, the Passover com
memorated the passing of the Angel of Death over the
houses of the Israelites in Egypt, the doorposts and lintels
< f which had been sprinkled with the blood of the paschal
lamb. The Christians, in adopting the festival, gave it a
new significance. For them the Saviour became the true
paschal lamb, and the new festival commemorated. His
resurrection on the third day following the Crucifixion.

JAPS SLOW TO
GRASP POLITICS
OF THAT LAND
TOKIO. March oO. — Studying the
•nparent indifference of the Japanese
people, both toward home politics and
the great war questions of the day,
the Yorodzu, one of the Tokio leading
dailies, says there is nothing in which
the Japanese people, today, aie really
interested, but in economic questions.
''ontinuing. the paper adds:
“The patriotism of this people re
veals itself only in the time of war
md particularly on the battlefield. It
is not st> universal and steady as the
natriotism of Western countries vrl.Hi
has been exhibited in this great war
not only on the battlefield but more
•>:i tieularly in the determination of
ihe whole people occupied in peaceful
industr> at home to back up the work
of the battle front. The spirit with
..inch the Western peoples have sacri
ficed their property and various other
personal interests with silent det/T
nination is a revelation to the people
of this country. The Japanese ought
to <ee, if they have not seen already,
that the boasted patiiotism of our peo
pie is very narrow and rather superfi
cial compared with the dogged tena
city and the universality of the West
ern patriotism. Furthermore, we are
in the habit of considering patriotism
as the spirit peculiar to soldiers. The
upper class and the general public
have no clear idea of what patiiotism
means outside of the battlefield. Noth
ing has been more ignoble than the
way the rich people of this country
i»a\e pursued their selfish interest in
utetr disregard of the national in
terest/*

FRENCH TROOPS ADVANCING BEHIND HEAVY CURTAIN FIRE
1 nix remarkable photograph shows French troop* coming head on in tin* advance behind a heavy lire curtain

trenches, and the photographer evidently risked his life as he must have been at an advanced listening post.
MILK WANTED
BY SOLDIERS
AT U.S. CAMPS
CAMP KKAUNY, San Diego, Cal.,
March .‘10. — .Milk is the beverage ir.
greatest demand at the camp exchang
os of the Fortieth division, stationed
here. Motor trucks loaded with doy
ens of cases of pint bottles of milk
come out to the camn uaily, to su ip'y
the hundreds of gallons of milk drunk
by the men. The milk for the kitch
ens of the various organizations corner
in quart bottles, but the greater part
of that used in the camp is sold over
the “bar” at the exchanges, v;herA a
pint commands a ready market at 10
rents.
Candy and cake are in sharp de
mand at the various battalion, regi
mental and other exchanges. Next to
tobacco, probably chocolate commands
the best market <>f any commodity
sold at the exchanges. Men who ir
civil life would scorn candy a* a weak
ness oat quantities of it at the ex
changes, while cake and pastry are
sold fn large amounts. Virtually all
the sweets sold in the camp are put up
:n tin f >il or oiled paper packages
which retail at live cents or pen cents
each, so the contents reach the men
in good condition.
