HUMAN LIFE VALUED
 VERY LIGHTLY THRU
 BolEsAEv|kI RUSSIA
By The Associated Press.

Stockholm, Sunday Sept. 8.-Bol- sheviki Russia is suffering the con sequences of class hatred in it's most violent expression.
 Human life has lost all value and foreigners and Russians alike are at the mercy of officials who kill with out trial.
 Such were the conditions, at any rate, when the Associated Press Cor respondent at Moscow left Russia, re- gently and travelled hence with the party of American refugees that has arrived here. .*.t-
 Since War Minister Trotsky pro- voked Czecho- -Slovak opposition by breaking his pledge to permit the Czecho-Slovaks to leave Russia in peace, the class hatred of which Bol- shevikism is based has revealed it. self in it's full horror.
 Before the social revolutionists broke with the Bolsheviki they acted as check on capital punishment.
 Threatened by the victorious Czechs on the Volga, the entente movements from Archangel and Siberia and gen. eral internal uprisings, the Bolshevlk1 leaders are madlv prodding their sus' pected opponents and filling the pri' sons with hostages.
 In the Bolsheviki official bulletins the acts of Bolsheviki authorities are described as war measures necessary to protect the Soviet republic.
 Tc an unbiased foreigner who has watched the rise and decline of the Bolsheviki power they appear as the brutal efforts of ambitious leaders te perpetuate the rule of a minority SC small and SO unjust that it could moi maintain itself for a single day with out the aid of armed force.

LENINE FROM THE HEAD BOLSHEVIKT
 MEANS DISASTER
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Petrograd, Sunday Sept. s.-Prem. fer Lenine's removal temporarily from the head of the Bolsheviki government threatens to shorten its existence.
 The premier's bullet wounds, inflict- ed by Dora Kaplan, a social revolu- tionary, are so serious that it may be many weeks before he recovers.
 Leo Kamenff vice president of the Workmens and Soldiers delegates, has been appointed to act in Lenine's place This appointment undoubtedly will re- vive the anti-semitic agitation against the soviet government which had been held in check somewhat by having a Gentle premier.
 With Kameneff in the premiership. with Trotsky holding the portilios of war and navy and with Sverdloff as head of the central executive com mittee. the three most important off cers of the soviet government are oc- cupied by Jews.

GERMANY NOT YET ON VERGE OF ANY
 SURE STARVATION
Swedish Minister Arrives in Washington Says
 Nothing Like This.
Bv The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 9.-Germany is not on the verge of starvation Ira Nell son Morris, American minister to Sweden said today in reminding the American people that every energy must be put into the war.
 MT. Morris said his statement re- garding the food situation was based on many reports from reliable sources which had reached him at Stockholm.
 It was promoted by many published reports regarding conditions in the German empire which had come to his attention since he recently returned to United States.
 "There can be no question" the min ister said that there is shortage of most of the essentials of life, but to state that this borders on the verge of starvation is erroneous and mis- leading.
 "There is no doubt that in many parts of Germany there is marked scarcity of food and that the civilian population has been reduced to the minimum ration, but still receives sufficient for existence. |,
 Conditions are better in the rural districts, particularly as regards the farmers and land owners, even in the northern part of Germany where the scarcity is most felt, .
 ''In the southern parts conditions improve still more, and resorts ano hotels there still serve meals at mod crate prices.
 sIn the case of the army there has been slight depravations, this has been fed at the expense of the civilian population"
 In the manufacturing districts ant the more densely populated section: of German Poland there has beer much suffering quite visible in the emaciation of the people, MT. Morris said.
 While this has impaired the eff ciency of the Getman workmen, il was mistake, he added, to believe i had provoked strong sentiment to ward revolution or general, lessen ing of the loyalty of the people. ''
 They still haa faith in the invin cibility of the military power and wer, purposely kept in ignorance, concern ing real conditions on the western front, not only in the matter of Ger man reverses, but as to the full signi ficance of the part being taken by thu American army.

Regulations governing the use of the navy ranges are purposely made very broad so that every person so inclined may take the course with little incon- venience. State troops and organiza tions, and bodies of citizens not band ed in any organization may enter and citizens individually may arrange to take the prescribed course by attend ing half days at. times that suit his convenience.
 All are expected to conform to the same practice, study, work and other duties required of men of the navy and they will be given the same course of instruction, practice and training. It is aimed to have the ranges CO., operate systematically with state or local authorities.

CIVILIANS MAY
 GET CHANCE ID
 USE THE RANGES
By The Associated Press


 Washington, Sept 9.-So that every American may have his chance to learn to shoot, the Navy Department has sent letters to the governors of all states, directing their attention to the fact that naval rife ranges are open to the use of civilians and that instruct ors are provided to give all corners a thorough course in markmanship and the handling of the rife.
 There are ten ranges, located in the Eastern and Western seaboards and on the Great Lakes in which civilians will be trained. Those located with navy yards or naval training stations are reserved for exclusive use of, the navy personnel.
 This move is in accordance with a provision of the National Defense Act which provides that, where practica- ble, ranges shall be open for use by men in any branch of the military or naval service or by any able-bodied male citizen capable of bearing arms. The particular purpose is to permit the training of state troops and citi- zens who are likely to be called into military service through the draft

odd fetish services, though more Chris
tan peoples, of more simple and album
dant faith, are not to be found.
Vampires, diabolical ghosts, witches,
"vilen," and vengeful spirits are held
IN great respect throughout this cOun-
try, and the folklore is rich in their
dO1ngs and in the common mOrtaTs
philosophy of self-preservation in q
world filled with such discouraging
things. The "alp," or nightmare. is
a bitter old maid, recognizable by her
garb, who sits on the back or breast Of
the sleeper and torrents him, mayhap
fatally. She cannot, for some reason
or other, sit upon the sleeper's side,
and the true Dalmation never thinks
OF sleeping in any other way than on
his side.
The vampire pursues it's peculiar
Dalmatian orgies in the guise of a
man or woman, lately dead and of
faulty existence, and is said to be
merely human skin filled with blood
and covered with a shroud. Witches
are bad-weather creatures; their evil
is unfettered only with the storm and
mist. To kill them, one throws three
grains of corn and a wax candle at the
lightning before the thunder sounds.
Thus, they are best killed while the
storm is yet great way off. "Vilen"
are maids with horses hoofs. Mostly
these ''vilen," or wood creatures, are
good and tolerant of human happiness,
but they have a fatal tendency for
stealing handsome, newborn children.
The newly arrived baby, therefore, in
Dalmatian district frequented by
"vilen" is closely watched until bap-
tism, when the abductors are power
less.

Many Beautiful Relics Preserved.
Less perishable and equally beauti-
full relics still remain, most of them
in an extraordinary state of preserva-
ton. The buildings themselves, some
of which cover as much as four acres,
are wonderful examples of Byzantine
architecture. There are choice speci-
mems of ancient and cunning mosaic
work. There are mural decorations
attributed to Byzantine artists so an
cient that their work has Outlived
their fame and their very names are
legendary.
The Phiate or Font of Laura in
front of the monastery church with
the marble panels was built in 1860.
The brick work was probably done in
the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
In the Monastery of XiriIotamo,
which, according to monastic tradi-
ton, was established by the Empress
Pulcheria in the fifth century, but
more probably was founded 900 years
later, is a communion cup, carved
from solid jade, which bears an in
scription of the traditional founder
and is believed by many to be a true
relic of that earlier time.
VatOpethi contains many venerated
and quaint treasures, some of them of
great beauty. In the church is a
throne inlaid with ivory and nearby
a chased silver jeon of Andronicus II.
PalaeOlOgus. An ancient case Of solid
gold in which are receptacles for the
blood of saints contains a fragment Of
the True Cross, which is set in gold
and studded with large stones of pale
hue.
Most valued and most valuable from
a material point of view is the girdle
Of the Virgin Mary which now, for
safe keeping, is IN three parts, each
of them kept in a separate vault OF
the abbey.

there are villages or settlements, in
habited mostly by artisans employed
within the abbeys. Only precipitous,
winding mule paths afford means of
communication. AS many races are
represented in the population as might
be expected in that cosmopolitan Sec
ton of the Levant. The monks them
selves are, for the most part, Greeks,
but the monastery of Rossikon is
stronghold Of the Russians, and in
others are Serbs and Bulgars. Rou-
manlans are also fairly numerous.
Own All Goods in Common.
All these dwell in harmony despite
the schiSmS which the great war has
made in the outside world. AS monks
they are divided into two schools.
both OF which adhere to the canon Of
st. Basil. One division has the lido
rhythmic form or government, which
allows considerable latitude to the in
dividual, although all goods are owned
in common. MOnasteries of this order
are governed by two or three wardens,
who are elected annually by the eld-
ers. In the cenobite monasteries
church regulations are much more
rigid, and the hegumen, elected for
life, has absolute control over the
property and inmates.
HOarded behind massive locks in
the turreted abbeys are thousands of
beautiful Illuminated parchments of
great antiquity. This treasure, though
impressive, is a mere remnant of what
once existed. Some of the documents
have been taken to Paris, some to
Moscow, some fell into the hands of
early collectors, some were fired in
cartridges at the Greeks during the
