Barcelona, Dec. 10.
A decree formally re-afürming the principle of religious freedom was announced yesterday.
It creates the office of Commissioner-General of Cults, who is given powers for the re-establishment of religious worship.
This, and several important milftary measures, have undoubtedly been adopted to help keep up the morale of the population, which is facing its third winter campaign.
The military measures adopted include: the re-organization and centralization of the High Command, the incorporation in the Army of all autonomous Corps, notably the Assault Guards and the Caradineros, the recruitment of older men for the construction of fortifications, the militarization of ports and war industries, and the improvement of aerial defences.
The re-organization of food distribution is being undertaken, and women are replacing men at men's wages after training in Public Services ana Government offices.—
