The vote was 43 to 2&. As the nitrate plant section in the house bill was defeated when the Hay Jsill was under consideration there, final.determination of the issue must await action by the conference com­ mittee of the two houses. The action was based on ah amend­ ment by Senator Smith of South Caro­ lina. it would provide for the sale of Panama canal bonds by the govern­ ment fqr raising the required $15,000.- 000 and the president would be au­ thorized to designate not more than live water power' sites to make them available for power plant,s to manu­ facture nitrates. Products of these plants not needed for manufacture of munitions of war would be sold for the manufacture of fertilizer "and other useful products." , . Senator Wadsworth urged adoption of his amendment to require officers and enlisted men upon entering the Ntuionai tjuard to take an oath to obey the orders, both of the president and of the governor of their state. On a roll call for the proposal the vote was 23 to 22, less than a quorum, and the^senate recessed.. ERUSALEM Is the true Easter city. Not only-, te EaSter celebrated there with gorgeous magnificence by the" Christian churches--Latin, Cheek, Ar­ menian, Coptic--but the Inrgeand ever­ growing Jewish population of Jerusa­ lem keeps the p^ssover with all the charm of its cosmopolitanism, • and even the Mohammedans have their Easter pilgrimage to the grave of Moses. > The throng of Easter pilgrims from the whole Christian world is a very remarkable sight. To the westerner it is a revelation of oriental Chris­ tianity in All Its picturesque devotion. Greeks, from all over the Levant; Armenians from Tur­ key, Persia and the Caucasus; Nestorians from Mesopotamia' and Persia; Syrians from Aleppo, Damascus and Beyrout; Abyssinians from the hermit land of northeast Africa; Copts from Egypt, and men from the ancient Churches of southern India, and, above all, Russians who now­ adays form by -fat" the largest contingent of pil­ grims--all these races mingle with Latins from -western Europe,. with Germans, English, Ameri­ cans, Scandinavians. In the midst of all, and presenting an indi­ viduality-perhaps more distinct than all the oth­ ers, you see the Mohammedan master of the land --the Arab in his solemn garb and majestic bear­ ing, and the Turkish official and soldier haughty In the exercise of his duty to keep the Christian pilgrims in check and to preserve order. Elaborate processions and ceremonials make holy week in' Jerusalem a gorgeous event, where the intimate note of the resurrection Is not con­ spicuous. Especially does it bring out the divi­ sion of Christendom, so strikingly shown In the way in which' > Latins. Greeks, Armenians and Copts share the Chijrch of the Holy Sepulcher. Particularly at Easter the marvelous services of the Greek orthodox church convey the priority of this church in the Holy Land. And of these cere­ monies, none, perhaps, is more impressive than that of the washing of feet on the Thursday be­ fore Easter. ? On that day a platform Is erected in the court of the church, which is occupied by the Greek bishop of Jerusalem and 12 high church dlgnl-' tarles. Court, stairs, niches and every corner is crowded by the faithful to witness the enact­ ment of the scene when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. The parts of Jesus. John, Peter and Judas are each given to an ecclesiastic, and are read with fine simplicity, though the story Is told with a certain freedom from gospel text. • At the end the patriarch washes .the feet or the 12 clerics, and, repeating Jesus' words. Let us go, for he that will betray me is nigh, gives the signal to arise,-and they all withdraw to the church. Then an olive branch, hanging over the chancel of the platform, is pulled up to the roof of the cburcty amid Bhouts of Joy. Next day. Good Friday, all the lights In the Holy Sepulcher church are extinguished. This is symbolical of the agony and death of our Lord and of his descent to hell, when the light of the, world was taken away for a brief space. Then, on Saturday, the lights are rekindled--by a super­ natural agency, so the tradition goes. As the church dignitaries pray in the chapel of the sepulcher, draped in deep mourning, the stonr gathers a peculiar moisture which rises as a va­ por and, suddenly bursting Into a divine. flame, kindles the lights. It is the custom of the people • to light candles from one another, and the faith­ ful believe that the first of these candles is kin­ dled from that supernatural fire. The dawn of Easter Sunday lg celebrated by ft magnificent profession which enacts, in impres­ sively dramatic fashion, the events of the resur- . rection morn, when the women found the gra*e open and empty. Then the Easter greeting/re­ sounds, "Christ is risen!" and the response, "He Is truly risen!" The Greek mass, celebrated by 40 priests, ends fch ee e r emon y. ----- Although tixe Easter of the orthodox church does not coincide with that of the western churches, holy-week In Jerusalem is celebrated predominantly according to the Greek calendar, the seryices of the other churches being repeated on their own dates. 1 In all the Greek orthodox countries---Russia, Roumania, Greece, Bulgaria, Servia,' Montenegro, and a large parf of Austria-Hungary--Easter is celebrated with great fervor and devotion. The Easter kiss Is a well-known incident of these celebrations. ' > Jerusalem is naturally full of churches, monas­ teries, hospices and hospitals of the various creeds; and every one of them at Easter brings out its own peculiar religious individuality. The Latin church, for Instance, whose establishment in Jerusalem harks back to Godfrey do Bouillon and his crusaders, has a number of oriental cLurches united to ttye Roman Catholic church. Thus there are the United Greeks, the United Syrians, the United Nestorians, the United Ar> menians, the Maronites, all of whom celebrate mass in their own tongue and so add in their ceremonies and garb a picturesque distinctive­ ness to the whole. Then there are the Copts, the Armenians, the Syrian Jacobites, the Nestorians, the Abyssinians, besides Greeks, and Protestants. The relative standing of the various churches is in a measure expressed in the vay they share the 16 lamps that burn In the Holy Sepulcher chapel, which is in the center of the stone that was rolled away from Jesus' grave by the angels. Five of these lamps belong to the Latins, five to the Greeks, four tQ the Armenians and one to the Copts. ' Away from the ecclesiastical ceremonial the pilgrim In Easter time seeks the traditional places where our Lord spent his last days and nights. Of these Gethsemane, is the principal goal, and here the difference in creed among the many visitors is obliterated by an earnest and quiet devotion which is unexpectedly free from the emotional. Another figure has a prominent place In Easter, celebrations in Jerusalem; that of Moses, whose liberation of the Jewish people from the yoke of Egypt" is commemorated in the ancient Hebrew paschal feast. There Is a very little known .Mohammedan celebration which, though no longer BO general as formerly, is still a most interesting one. To the Mohammedan, it must be remembered. Jeru­ salem is a holy city, like -Mecca and Medina, and there & a saying among Arabs, "Syria is the blessed county. Palestine the holy land, an^ J«- rusalem, the holy city, Is the holy of holies." Native Mohammedans and pilgrims make up* a procession and issue- from the Sitti Myrlam gate. They are joined by throngs of their breth­ ren from the neighboring villages, andpamig the wildest enthusiasm, with standards being borne aloft and to the typical Arab music of drum and fife, the pilgrimage proceeds in the direction of the Dead sea. As the Arabs claim common descent with the jews from Abraham, the Holy Land holds tra­ ditions equally sacred to them. Jerusalem. Is second only to Mecca in sanctity because it con­ tains, according to tradition, the rock of Abra­ ham's sacrifice, over which the famed mosque of Omar Is built. The Arab pilgrimage to the burial place of Moses recalls the similar one to the tomb of Noah, near the ruins of Baalbek, a short dis­ tance from Damascus. In cosmopolitan charm Easter in Constantinople almost equals that found In Jerusalem. The capital o? the Turkish empire is. of course, in Itself highly cosmopolitan; and there is no other city in the world....where so many languages are heard In the streets, not by foreigners, but by the variegated natite population. The background here is not jcw<eh and Mohammedan^ as in Jerusalem, Jt>ut Mohammedan and Christian, with A strong tinge of Spanish Jewry. spot/TP TZ? zxttzxratr--*. Of thfe native Christians tne Greeks predomi­ nate, but there has always been a very numerous Armenian element in Constantinople. The mag­ nificent Greek orthodox ceremonial^ well reflects the towering strength of that church in the Levant, which for centuries, under the absolute rule of the Ottoman sultans, acted In the capacity oi imperial overseer of 'the Christian people un­ der Turkish sway. Until the comparatively recent rise of the Balkan nationalities--Roumanian, Servian, Bulgarian, Montenegrin--Greek was the language of all cultured people of orthodox faith outside of Russia and Austria-Hungary. And Greek intellectual, social and political control through the unifying power of the Gre^k church was more complete under Ottoman rifle than it had been under the Byzantine emperors. Recent events have once more shown the force of the people of Greek Speech. Through the breaking away of^the Bulgarian church and the erection of a Bulgarian exarchate, Greek in re- jlgiojy but Bulgarian in speech and political alms, it has been temporarily weakened. "Christos nest I"--'"Christ is risen"--is the Easter cry It Constantinople that you hear on all sides accompanied by the exchange of the tra­ ditional kiss. "Paskalia Foulla"--"flowers of Easter time"--are sold everywhere to the festive throng in the narrow streets. In the butcher shops you see the passover lambs with gilded feet and the choice pieces--the kidneys--placed on a gold foil. The variety of types and costumes seen In this throng where the West meets the East is most remarkable. All the Christians of the Levant are there; Bulgarians In embroidered Jackets; Greeks from the mountains, Bporting the fustanel- la, the kilt which resembles a dancer's skirt; burly men from the Adriatic, Levantines, Arme­ nians; ladies In the latest Paris fashions, genuine and otherwise, and, of course, a host of French. Germans, Italians, Austrians, Russians, English and Americans. the Mohammedan Is by no means Inconspicu­ ous, whether he be Turk, Arab in flowing robes, Persian merchant, Albanian soldier, Kurdish hamal in his Sunday dress or eveh negro women in yellow dress. The westerner wends hiB way from Pera across the bridge through the suburbs of Jubalee-Kepoosee, past the Rose mosque--Gul Jamee--to the Christian quarter of Imi-Kapoo, where he finds the festive Joy of the Greek Easter. The procession of the Greek clergyT-some of them strikingly handsome jnen with their long beards and blue eyes--starts from the patriarchal palace and proceeds past the Turkish guards, who keep the crowd in check, to the Greek church. Though small, it is richly adorned with chiseled chancel and pillars with ivory eagles. After long litanies, prayers, responsories and benedictions characteristic of Greek ritual, the Easter gospel Is read. This is done in no less than six languages, and, curiously enough, two of them are Mohammedan, Arabic and Persian. The others are French and Italian, Albanian and Greek. The Greek is read, or, rather, sung, with a peculiar intonation by the deacon, and the others are read by special read­ ers in characteristic garb. Meanwhile mass is being celebrated in a niche of tho altar, where the patriarch blesses the Ea«ter offerings. The faithful In their festive mood are quite free in their behavior and remarks as they listen to the readings in six languages, of which only Greek, French and Italian is really understood. After the service the patriarch ana his attendants retire to the patriarchal palac^. where a reception is held. { INTERESTING ITEMS The grant from.

OREGON 10-H0UR LAW Brief Filed by State Insists Short Hours Tend to Better Use of Leisure. Washington, April 17.--The state of Oregon ten-hour maximum work day law is under test in the supreme court on an appeal by Franklin O. Bunting of that state, who was convicted in the state supreme court of having violat­ ed the law. He appealed 'to the higher court on the ground that the state law violated the fourteenth amend­ ment of the United States Constitu­ tion. The brief In the Oregon answer to the 'appeal denies there is any con-4 tlict between the state law and the constitutional amendment, as Bet up. and insists on the legality of the law. In one part of the brief, it Is argued: "After continuous work, a certain amount of leisure and recreation is a physiological necessity. The worker's condition determines in large meas­ ure whether or not he takes advantage of opportunities for Belf-improvement or legitimate enjoyment. The work­ er who has not exhausted his energies by overexertion turns instinctively to the better use of leisure."
