Notre Dame NeWs

Our colleagues in the trenches
need our support. Let US back them
up with Liberty bonds" With such
a motto, the committee appointed
by Judge Francis Vurpillat. dean Of
the law department at Notre Dame
university, will open its final drive
Monday morning. and will canvass
the resident halls Ia inducing the
students to buy bonds Since the
Very Rev. Dr. John Cavanaugh, G.
S. c., president, appealed so strong
ly to the student body 10 buy Lib
erty bonds, the committee will
double it's efforts in getting the larg
est possible quota from Notre Dame
before the campaign closes.
When the campaign opened at
NOtre Dame a few weeks ago, the
committee secured a good number
of subscriptions, but the committee
resolved not to rest until every
student buys at least one bond.
Keen competition for supremacy
among the halls in buying the larg-
est number of bonds exists. Ever
since the students from Walsh hall
have won first place in the War
Saving stamp campaign. they are
earnestly striving to uphold their
supremacy in the Liberty loan cam
paign, although students from
Brownson and Badin halls are MAX
ing a strong bid for first place.

RUSSIAN CHURCH AND STATE WILL
 BE KEPT. APART

London, Feb. 6.-The separation of state and church by the Bolshevik government is explained in a long statement sent abroad by the Bol- sheViki official news agency From this it is apparent that all ecclesias- tical property has been declared to belong to the people and is to be used for the common veal.
 The BoBeshevik commissioners of public charity, who have been given control of the church possessions, an- nounce that it is their opinion that this property be used solely for the alleviation of the lot of the classes suffering most from exploitation by capitalist society," Accordingly the expenditures for the support of the churches and ecclesiastical ceremonies will be suppressed.
 After March 1 the clergy will re- ceive no salaries from the govern nrent. However, they will receive four weeks salary in advance. Clergymen, who remain in their positions and who wish to continue their functions, will be employed by the commissioners of public charity on the. collective de- mand of the congregation they serve. Ecclesiastical functions and ceremo- nies may be continued on condition that the clergy accept as private per sons remuneration from the locality where they officiate.

AGAIN SUSPEND NEGOTIATIONS IN
 BREST-LITOV1K

London, Feb. 6.-The negotiations in Brest-Ltovsk have been broken off, the correspondent in Petrograd of the Exchange Telegraph Co. says.
 Reports from Brest-Litovsk in the tast few days indicated a deadlock had been reached on the question of Ukraine. After the Ukrainian dele gates had almost completed an agree ment with the Germans and Aus trians for separate peace the Bol- sheviki sent to Brest-Litovsk new del egates who, they said, were the real representatives of Ukraine. The rep resentatives of the Central powers anxious to make peace with Ukraine and obtain food supplies there, re- fused to recognize the new delegates who represent the soldiers and work mems deputies of Ukraine, whereas the first delegation was selected by the Ukrainian rada.
 The situation was considered at the crown council in Berlin on Monday after which the German and Austro- Hungarian foreign ministers left for 8rest-Litovsk.

SOFT COAL IN
 BOSTON HOMES

Boston, Feb. 6.-New England found little hope today of early relief from the fuel shortage, which was made more serious by the shutting off of most of the incoming supplies by the cold weather. Reports of fac- tory closings were numerous, and many plants were operated by the use of wood instead of coal.
 In Boston an embargo forbidding delivery of coal except for pressing needs was replaced today to continue in effect until Monday, after having been lifted only two days ago at the end of a five day period of restriction Under this ruling coal may be de- livered only to homes and hotels, to the government and for shipping pur- poses. to hospitals, laundries and pub lie utilities, and to industrial plants working on government orders. An nouncement was also made that many householders would be forced to use soft coal for heating their homes.

only with the German throne, but with all thrones; war that will go on when the rest of the belligerents want to stop; a war that may develop into blaze of civil wars in England, France and Italy, with the Foreign Offices and courts and capitalists fighting to restore the Tsar, and the "Proletarians of all lands fighting to reproduce the Russian revolution in their own country. What has hap pened so far is a very old thing; the world has many times before seen the kings of the earth rise up and the rulers take counsel together. But when peoples with new Bibles and new Jewish prophets do the same, there will be no more use for the middle class ignorance that deals with such a danger by a refusal of pass ports to those who alone understand it. There is a war to be averted ten times more terrible than that war which we are told to get on with by fools who imagine that we have any choice in the matter, and flick their little whips at the earth to make it go round the sun. Which of us would not stop the war tomorrow if he could? Which of us can?
 For my part I am Jusqu'aubout- ist. I do not want this war to be comprised as long as it will be pos sible for any of the belligerent Pow CTS afterwards to pretend that if it had only gone on for another year it would have won. If we win there will be such a serge of exultation throughout the country that every counsel of moderation or prudence will be swept away as irresistibly as Bismarck and the Socialists were swept away in 1871, when they asked their countrymen to spare Alsace- Lorraine. The same thing will hap pen in Germany if the Central Elm pires win It is our business to see that they do not win. It is their busi-
