CHERISHED BELLS
REQU|S|T|0NED
BY AUSTRIA

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 5.--A second
requisitiOn of church bells has taken
place in Austria to the sorrow of the
Catholic population of that country,
according to advices received here.
A limited number of bells had been
spared, thanks to the vigorous repres-
entations of the Episcopal church au-
thorities. But the government came
to the conclusion that further requisi-
tioning was necessary, with the result
that the church has had to sacrifice
many more of it's familiar and cher
ished bells to the never-satisfied Mo-
lock of war.
The idea of substituting steel bells
for bronze has not yet eventuated
owing to the conditions stipulated by
bell manufacturers, who demanded.
among other things, that the price
should be paid in foodstuffs for the
workmen in the factories.
