RUSS ADOPT CUslsT oTYLE.
Eolsheviki Decorate in Bizarre Fashion
For Feast Days.

Correspondence Associated Pres2.l
London, May l7.-The bolsheviki
have adopted the cubist style of deco
ration for Russian cities in celebrating
the revolutionary feast days, The
whole city of Petrograd was decorated
in this bizarre fashion for the celeb,a-
ton of May day. Thousands of cublst
posters draped with revolutionary red
bunting ornamented the walls of pal
aces and government buildings. De-
scribing the scene the Petrograd cor
respondent of the Morning Post writes:
"Petrograd for May day was turned
into a huge village fair. The ambitious
plans for hiding under red draperies
and hideous cubist canvases all the
visible symbols of those things that
made the greatness of once great Rus
STA were curtailed by shortage of red
material by inability to compel sufti-
cheney of skilled labor, or by the desire
of everybody concerned to think first
of personal opportunities and only
setondarily of public objects.
AT any rate, the great PALACES and
monuments. the works of art of many
generations, were neither hidden nor
disguised. but merely disfgured.
noted principally the Disagreement of
the Winter Palace facade. Half dozen
billboards erected about the palace
square bore cubst and futurist angular
daubs on gigantic scale each with
legend explaining what otherwise was
certainly incomprehensible.
THE great column of the palace
square had evidently defied the attacks,
hidden by billboards covered with
crude colors, having neither form nor
substance
THE procession did itself credit IN
several particulars. All the fghlins
arms were largely represented ana
some Of the sections, especially a GER
tain cavalry regiment and detach-
n ent Of machine gunners. looked like
fighting material ready for work. Inc
sailors were such as have always been
in Fetrograd. The infantrymen and
artillerymen, particularly the latter
seemed to have undergone but little
tanning. All the fighting forces on
this occasion appeared with full equip
ment ana arms. Bands OF workmen
were intcrspersed between the fighting
arms.
"Bands. OF course. played freely, but
the 'Marseillaise.' which Is the Official
anthem of modern Russia pending the
invention of something Russian, was
little heard. Military bonors are paid
to the Marseilaise, and civilians un-
cover when it Is played.
May day Is, according to beliefs now
widely promulgated by Lenine the day
of the birth Of the Russian revolution.
All things that happened before were
merely anticipatory throes or abortive
alarms. which the country is we'll rid
OF. and which, are best forgotten

With the American Army in France
May, 2S,-Tho the American troops nave
repeatedly made themselves extremely
popular by their open handed gener-
osity to the natives among whom they
happen to be quartered, it has remained
for an artillery regiment to distinguish
!tself especially in this respect. 7
The unit was quartered for some time
in q, little French town behind the front
and on the first evening found, almost
dying from hunger. an year old BOY
whose mother had been KILLED at Yer
dun. The boy s..1 wandered aimlessly
about until he reached this town
He was unanimously adopted by the
regiment, fed to safety and made the
mascot and idol OF the men. The time
came however very recently. when the
artillerymen had to leave for front
service. To take the boy with them was
out Of the question. He had been given
the nickname Of pat" and they had
grown SO attached to him that they
felt something must be done to assure
his future.
So the men raised 1000 francs with
which Pat iss to be cared for in a
home and given at least a rldimentary
education. They have gone on to the
front. possibly never will see the little
town again, but the town, and Pat,
will not soon forget them.

FRANCE MOTHER OF REFUGEES
More Than 100000 Homeless Cared
For Durinu War;

Paris, May 25.-France has moth
cred" more than 100000 refugees i'm
posed upon her while she was engaged
in war, with the country unprepared
to receive a helpless mass and with but
40, 100000 population.
These 100000 refugees have been
handled with system. They have been
distributed over France with as much
foresight, as to the ability to adjust
themselves, as possible. Each depart
ment has now within its borders from
I o. 900 to 25 900 refugees. When a city
is ordered evacuated by the military
authorities If possible, trains are made
up for the civil population. Groups
are formed and the whole organized
into conveys and their destination de-
termined by the character of the ref
ugees and the industrial necessities OF
the section of the country to which
they are sent.
| The whole is performed by the CEN

transfer of refugees from the war zone
to safe place where they can settle
is conducted much as is the transfer
of the army from one section to an
other. 1t Is done with military pre-
cisior so far as the exigencies of the
situation will allow.

SPORTS FOLLOW THE FLAG.
American Games PopuIarized in Brit
ish Isles.

American Games PopuIarized in Brit
sh Isles.
New York, June 19-The axiom that
trade follows the flag has been changed
to include sport SO far as Americans in
England are concerned. With the in
flux of thousands of United States SOL
diers and sailors to the British Isles
the Englishman is rapidly gaining an
insight regarding the manner in which
the average American plays his games.
The performance of highly special
fed experts such as big league base
ball players and members of the Amer
lean Olympic games teams are not ex-
actly novelties to the close followers Of
sport in England. They have also seen
our best tennis players in Maurice Nc
Loughlin and May Sutton, but it re-
manned for the world war with it's hosts
of invading Americans to bring about
IA clearer conception of how the ordi-
nary man from the States plays and
acts in his normal recreative sports.
So keen has been the desire on the
part of the American service forces
abroad to spend their spare time in
playing at various games that many
strict English regulations have been
temporarily Cancelled in favor of the
soldiers from across the seas. One of
the latest Is the granting OF a permit
for the playing Of baseball in Hyde
Park. London. This is a distinct de-
parture from previous customs, for
while Hyde Park was always a rest
and recreation center the playing Of
organized games there has heretofore
been prohibited.
Another result OF the presence of
large bodies Of Americans in London
is the throwing and catching Of base
balls in the streets during the noon
hour. This is a familiar sight in the
| streets Of all American cities but Lon
doners were Mortified when the practice
| was first attempted. Near the junction
of Kingsway and the Strand there Is a
large Y. M. c. A. hut and on an adj
joining vacant plot soldiers and sailors
can be seen at all hours Of the day
playing "fungos" or tossing baseballs
back and forth while crowds of staid
Englishmen watch the performance
| with amusement.
