NEW HOLY MAN OF RUSSIA REAL
DEMOCRAT AND IS VERY WEALTHY
PETROGRAD, July 10. (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press).—An-1
drew, Bishop of Ufa. is Russia’s lat
est holy man. An exception in the (
reactionary Greek Orthodox Church,
he is a prominent democrat and a
daring ecclesiastical reformer. He is
candidate for the exalted post of
Metropolitan of Petrograd; and were
it not for his reforming zeal he would
be Metropolitan already. Since the
revolution. Bishop Andrew has resided
in the Athos Monastery in south Pe
trograd, where he works for the re
generation of his church.
Andrew’s career is a chapter rrom
a Tolstoy or Turgenieff romance. He
was born Prince Andrew Uchtomsky.
member of a princely and once mil
lionaire family famous in Russia
history. His best known living kins
man is Prince Hesper Uchtomsky.
who accompanied the late Emperor
Nicholas, then heir apparent, on his
journey around the world, published
a history of the journey, founded the
Russo-Chinese Bank, gave to Emperor
Wilhelm the idea of the Yellow Peril;
and for twenty years edited the Petro
grad Viedomosti.
Bishop Andrew began his career as
a wealthy guards officer. After four
years of worldly living, he gave away
his riches, and underwent the process
of “simplification” described by Tt>r
genieff in the novel “Virgin Soil.” Hie
“Prince Uchtomsky" died, and “The
Monk Andrew" was born.
Unlike many Russian monks, An-j
• drew lived in genuine asceticism, in
estrangement from the world, in mid
night v.gils and prayer. He tenant** !
a six-foot square cabin in a remote
forest, ate bread and drank spring
water, and added good works to mor
tification and prayer.
Andrew’s charity made him famous.
Peasants flocked to his cell, and he
was begged to join the richest, most
aristocratic monastic communities. He
refused. He preferred to wander
Along the Volga, preaching to Mos
lem Tartars, Kalmuks, Bashirs and
Tcheremises, and to heathen Shaman
tribes, descendants of the Asiatic
hordes which devastated East Europe
in the Middle Ages.
Even the Petrograd reactionaries
dared not ignore Andrew’s fame. In
the hope that he would go over to
their camp, they made him a bishop.
Disappointed in this, they treated him
as a foe and seditionarv. They sus
pected his democratic ways, his
straight talking to soldiers and pea
sants. and the simplicity of life which
was a mute rebuke to his ostenta
tious colleagues. The reactionary
Plehve and the reactionary Procurer
of the Holy Synod. Sabler, surround
ed him with spies, gendarmes and
agents’ provocateurs. In 1910 he prac
tically was imprisoned in his house.
He kept his courage anil independence.
Alone of the higher prelates, he re
fused to bow the knee to the infamous
monk. Rasputin. Thereby, he earned
the enmity of Emperor Nicholas and
Empress Alexandra, and just before
the revolution he was in danger of
being unfrocket! or interned as a heie
tic in Souzdal monastery.
After the revolution the monks of
the Petrograd Athos monastery of
fered Andrew their finest rooms for
residence, and when he arrived a dozen
lackeys and lay monks met him at the
railroad depot. Hs refused to occupy
the rooms. Though in bad health—
he is a little, frail, almost transpar
ent man—he sleeps in a tiny cell, 1>
| ing on the iron laths of monastery
bt*!, sleeps three hours a night, and
spends the other twenty-one in prayer,
charitable works, ami projects of
church reform.
Today a free man. Andrew is pro
mulgating plans for the democratiza
tion and purification of orthodoxy. He
demands the convocation of an E< u
i menical Council of the whole Kusso
Greek church; the delivery to the Rus
sian state and people, of the church s
wasted treasures, and the universal
application of the electoral piinciple
| to church appointments.

WORLD FAMINE
IN MEAT HIS
PREDICTION
Shortage In Every Land As Result ol
Great War Shown—Men Eat
Round of Meat Daily
i
LONDON, Aug. 27.—Predictions of
a world famine of meat after the war
were made recently by Viscount Lewis
Harcourt. He said the decrease of
pasture land resulting from more ex
tensive cultivation would reduce the
supply of cattle, and the supply of
home-produced meat would be further
affected by the decision of the war of
fice to feed the army for three months
on home-grown meat.
While at the Board of Trade last
year he obtained estimates of the Ger
man government that it would take
five years after the war to restore
Germany’s stock of cattle to the nor
mal figure of 2,000,000 head.
Ho estimated that, after the war,
Europe would want to obtain or im
port 16,000,000 to 20.000,000 head of
cattle. For several years Germany
would have to feed her people on im
ported frozen or chilled meat and
i would come into a market where she
had never bought before. Further, the
men of the Allied armies had been
taught to eat a pound of meat a day
and one could not expect that they
would abandon the habit immediately.
