chief of the Egyptian Cabinet under
Hilmi Pacha. the former Khedivc.
Sadik Pacha, the witness said. was in
vlted to dinner. with many other nota
bles, and at this function Bolo Pacha
displayed intimate friendship with
Fernand Monier, ex-president of the
Paris Court of Appeals. and Louis J.
Malvy, former French Minister of the

Through Sadik Pacha, M. Casella de-
clared, Bolo Pacha became a trusted

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The separation of
State and Church by the Bolshevik gov
ernment is explained in long state

fetal news agency. From THIS it is ap-
parent that all ecclesiastical property
has been declared to belong to the
people and is to be used for the COM
mon veal.
The Bolshevik Commissioners Of
Public Charity, who have been given
control of the Church possessions, an
nounce that it is their opinion that this
property should be "used solely for
the alienation of the lot of the classes
Tsuffering 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-
ceivc no salaries from the government.
however. they will receive four weeks
| salary in advance. Clergymen who re4
main in their positions and who wish
TO continue their functions will be
employed by the Commissioners of Pub
llc Charity on the collective demand
OF the congreg cations they serve. Ec-
/ cleslastical functions and ceremonies
may be continued on condition that the
clergy accept, as private persons, re-
muneration m from the locality where
they officiate.
Referring to the action of the Most
Rev. Dr. Tikhon, Patriarch of All
Russia, in issuing an anathema. the
Petrograd correspondent of "Thc
Times" says the Church has long lost
Nuch OF its control over the people
owing to the younger generation tend
ing toward irrelgion.
Dr. Tikhon, however, it is added. still
has powerful weapon at his dis
posal. If he should lay the country
under an interdict, closing the churches
and not permitting the priests to ban
