The Nova Vremya states: "By all mean , let us have a court-martial and make it, if possible severe and oruel. The judge will perhaps , deal leniently with those who have given blood and lives for their oountry. Per haps, also, the court will determine' why the fortress known to be Jtbreat ened by blockade was not supplied with nsoessary food and ammunition to enable it to hold out." i Among the people of the oountry An Epiphany Party Today is the beginning of the sea son known In the oolesiaetioal year as the Epiphsny 8sssoq whloh oom memorates the manifestation of Christ as she saviour of tbs en tiles as well as of the Jews.
