The Murman coast is in the path Of
the latest invasion Of Russia by Ger
man forces, and Is the most probable
point Of allied military Intervention in
Russia.
Therefore the action OF the Murman
population may hav@ an important
bearing upon the plans by the United
States, Great Britain and France.
The action of the population in sew
crinS relet tions with Russia Is probably
due to the failure Of the Moscow gov
eminent to oppose/the invason by Ger
man and Finnish troops. Opposition
has been offered by bolshevik troops,
on their own initiative.
It is not certain whether in break
ing with Russia, the Murman people
also have seeded from bolshevik au-
thority. Upon this may depend whether
the Moscow government treats the So
ceding population as enemies. and 1t
may affect the relations Of the entente
with Russia proper.
Possibly there ID significance in
the fact that an American army Of
|ficer-tIe only one on the Kola PEE
ninsula-has been the official mil
itary adviser Of the bolsheviki in
the Mourman country. This lieu,
tenant, whose official duties consist
in looking at the passports Of American
and people bound for America, has
worked in close harmony With the
Mourman people. and soldiers. The
bolsheviki on the peninsula have been
found to be very decent individuals
Therefore, the break have been en-
gineered by branch Of the bolshevik
party. II that is the case. no serious
complications are likely to arise with
the Moscow government.
Kola peninsula is part Of Lapland.
but since the opening Of the railroad
from Petrograd, the Laplanders have
become a minor influence. The country
is still sparsely populated, however,
for it contains the only icefree port
which has been left to Russia since the
Germans secured control Of the Baltic
sea, and vast stores Of war supplies
are stored at the southern terminus
OF the Petrograd- -Kola railroad.
The Mourman coast itself is not
hard to defend against an incursion
from Finland. but the allies cannot
keep open the railroad to Petrograd
because itparallels the Finland bound
ary for the greater part Of Its length

!. according to semf-oncial .woln tele-
gram. dated at Moscow Sunday and
transmitted to London thru Copen-
hagen.
Fighting OF great severity is taking
place in the streets between bolshevik
troops and social revolutionists.
A message today dated at Moscow,
Sunday evening. says counter revolu-
ton was started in the capital but that
II has been suppressed.
Several hundred Russians, including
the social revolutionary leader. Alex
androyitch, have been arrested at Mos
COW.
Kaiser May March on Moscow.
The assassination Of Count Merbach,
the German ambassador to Russia, is
viewed by the newspapers here as an
event OF great importance which may
have far-reaching results.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Ex-
press compare 1t to the murder of
Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo four
years ago. The Express adds:
German influence Gin Russia) can
only be established on solid basis by
the maintenance OF a great army of oc-
cupation. Russia may once more play
. part in the war"
THE Daily Chronicle expects that If
the German emperor has his way there
will be . march on Moscow, accom-
panied by ruthless seventies, altho it
is possible . more prudent policy may
prevail, especially as Lenine and
Tchitcherin will accept almost any de-
mands for reparation, however abject.
It thinks, nevertheless, that such sur
render might precipitate the fall of the
bolsheviN government.
Fighting Follows.
Fighting took place in Moscow be-
tween bolshevik forces and revolution
ary forces following the assassination
Of Count Merbach. the German ambas-
sador, according to an official dispatch
sarom Switzerland.
On leaving the German embassy, the
Z dispa tchi says, the assassins took refuge
81 in house occupied by social revolu-
tionists This house was protected by
machine guns.
Say Uprising 10 Suppressed.
Fragments OF news from various
sources indicate that the assassination
Of Count Won Mirbach. the German am
bassador to Russia, was accompanied
by formidable uprising against the
bolsheviki in Moscow. A Russian
wireless dispatch claims the uprising
4 now has been completely suppressed.
The Russian wireless also circulated
the following. signed by M. Araloff, the
chief Moscow commissioner:
1.-THE social revolutionists. by fraud
ulent means, captured for few hours
q small part Of Moscow and a govern
men. telegraph office. whence they is
sued false reports of the suppression Of
the soviet in Moscow. beg to an
nounce that theSmutiny was caused by

pressed without difficulty by the Mos
COW garrison. The mutiny has been
arrested and order restored"
AS soon as Emperor William heard
sef the assassination of the German
ambassador, according to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Russia, he or
dered Secretary Won Kuehlmann to
bteak of negotiations with the Rus
alan delegates in Berlin.

Churches In Queer Places.

People at Tunbridge Wells, England,
rarely say that 1t is impossible to be
in two places at one time, because II
they enter the beautiful old chapel Of
ease in their town they can stand in
two counties and three parishes. This
chapel stands partly In Kent and part
ly in Sussex. This is how the prob
lem is worked out. When the clergy.
man leaves the vestry he comes out
Of the parish Of Frant, in Sussex. If
he is going to offlciate at the altar he
walks into the parish Of Tunbridge, in
Kent. If, on the other hand, he is go
ing to preach the sermon. he walks
from the parish Of Frant to the parish
Of Speldhurst On the way to the pulpit.
In half minute he can enter the two
counties and the three parishes named.
The members of the congregation,
however, have to content themselves
by sitting in one county and one par
ish like ordinary folk.

klsa Under tho MLatletoe.

The mistletoe was held in great
reverence by the Druids. 1t was be-
lieved to be particularly and divine
ly healing; in fact, 1t was given this
attribute for centuries. 1t had special
Significance as the cause of the death
of Balder, the Morse. Apollo, who was
killed by an arrow made from its
branches.
Subsequently Balder was restored to
life, the mistletoe tree was placed un-
der the care of Frigga, and from that
time until it touched the earth was
never again to be an instrument Of
evil.
The present custom Of kissing I'M
der the mistletoe Is the outcome Of an
old practice Of the Druids. Persons Of
opposite sexes passed under the sus-
pended vine and gave. each other the
kiss Of love and peace, in full assur-
ance that though it had caused Bal
der's death, it had lost all it's power
Of doing harm since his restoration.

Scaled Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat in Armenia Is now
generally believed to have been the
spot where Noah left the ark. Not
until 1929 did a mountain climber sue
ceed in scaling its steep assent. Doc
tor Parrot, an Englishman, achieved
that distinction. For centuries the
mountain had defed the efforts Of
mountain climbers, and the Christian
ecclesiactics of Armenia asserted, as
an article Of faith, that Jehovah had
made the peak his earthly home, and
that no human could possibly reach the
top and escape divine vengeance. When
Doctor Parrot declared that he had ac-
cOmplished the ascent the priests re-
fused to believe him and they cling to
this attitude of skepticism In spite Of
the fact that dozens Of explorers since
have stood on the top Of the Greater
Ararat and gaZed out over Armenia
from an altitude of 1900 feet.
