By the Associated Press.
Berlin, Jan. 30.—The “war prayer
hour” has become a feature of the
capital’s daily life. It is one of those
institutions of the war the beginning
of which nobody noticed in the first
excitement, but which since then have
forced the attention of the public by
virtue of being helpful. The “war
prayer hour” is at nine every evening
and is held in most of the churches in
Berlin.
The people who attend the “hour”
make a most interesting crowd, which
could not be better described than
was done by one of the feuilletonists
of the. Vossische Zeitung:
“Over the maze of streets hangs a
heavy and wet evening, in whose mists
the street lamps look like so many dy-
ing suns surrounded by sheafs of red
rays. Under them moves a busy crowd
and bustling traffic—not quite so large
as at other times. The stream of hu-
manity on the sidewalk seems unfa-
tigueable—inexhaustible. Tt is made
up of business people following their
daily habits, of soldiers totifo carry
arms in white and black slings, offi-
cers in smart city uniforms and wom-
en.
“Over it all breaks of a sudden the
deep, metallic voice of the church
bells, calling upon man to look from
the things on earth to those above, it
is nine—the hour of the war prayer.
"Through the main portal of pie
church the crowd begins to enter—
large families mostly, and now and
then a venerable couple. But through
the small side doors enter hundreds of
women—the timid, the lorielyA
“Dark still reigns in the-pompous
church interior; hiding the glistening
mosaics and the other stony splendor.
But the senses establish that the
church is crowded long before it is
time for the service to commence—
crowded with those who seek com-
fort and consolation.' ‘
“The clock strikes nine—the war
prayer hour has come! Of a sudden
the lights in the vaults above flash up.
filling the Interior with a light as
strong as that of day. And with this
comes tiie mighty flood of the organ,
rising and rising until it lias reached
a sublime and overwhelming volume
In ‘Glory be Unto God on High.*
“Light floods the church and in it
facts and expreiw^oqs may be studied.
It is surprising, though easily explain-
ed, that three-quarters of those pres-
ent are women. There art old and
wrinkled mothers; pale and sad girls,
young and beautiful women. And each
of them brought her own sorrow, her
own troubles to the holy place; all
of them seek refuge from some an-
guish or impending fate in this abode
of spiritual elevation and .sublime un-
world liness.
“Women, women, nothing but wom-
en. Out on the fields of the enemy
fights a ‘united people of brothers,'
and here within cold walls suffers, so
It appears, a ‘united people of sisters.’
“Out ou the street they are all
strangers to one another. Here in the
House of God they stand one another
near. In the silent throng beat a
thousand pulses, but In the -tempo of
a common misery' and a common long-
ing for consolation and a lessening of
tbelr burden. There Is the mother
who trembles for her son, .the wife

the father, and the girl who pray# for
the future husband.
“The man In the pulpit utters kind
and timely words, and when tbo organ
peals forth: ‘We Come Before Thee
With Prayer,* they all answer with
resignation and the decision to accept
their fate as a lot cast by the Su-
preme. When the last tones of the

By the Associated Press.
Austin, Texas, Jan. 30.— In an offi-
cial communication, F. C. Weinert,
general manager of warehouses and
marketing under the permanent ware-
house law, tells Governor Ferguson of
the progress being made in the or-
ganization of marketing corporations.
General Manager Weinert says that
he has mailed out 2,000 circulars to
leading farmers of Texas, telling them
how to organize.
‘‘Responses to this circular are now
coming in and the indications are that
a lively interest will be manifested In
this work,” says Mr. Weinert. He
also says that the indications are
there will be a large number of ware-
house associations In Texas who will,
no doubt, desire to amend their char-
ters and come under the law during
this spring, “and in our judgment, a
great many new associations will be
formed.” There are ppwards of 8,000
gfnners in Texas who come within the
provisions of this law and they are
also writing to the general manager
relative to the various requirements
that will have to be complied with.
