fage and it proved to be no protec- tion at all as Allied ayiatOrs soon To- cated them. There is a report that several aviators, Americans. French, British, lost their lives in locating the first three Berthas in the forest of St Gobain but upon that poi It officials are silent.
 However, on March 27 one of the Berthas was blown up by an aerial torpedo which tore a hole in the ground more than 50 feet in diame- ter, photograph of which has been taken. The second was put out of business in the last days of April, while the third of the original three was siIenced in May
 It is now asserted that two of these guns were remodeled into a larger calibre, nine-inch. and that these re- modelled guns were the ones which resumed the shelling of Paris in May last.

s4OO,OOO,OOO TO
 FEED EUROPEANS
Will Take That Amount for Belgium, Poland and
 Armenia.

Paris. Jan. 16.---The supreme coun- cil of supply and relief, which has been engaged for the last three days in considering the situation of the liberated countries stretching from Belgium to Poland and Armenia, has concluded that the minimum sum necessary to feed these peoples until next summer is $40O, 100000. The coun- Gil has asked the treasury depart ments of the associated governments to determine how the money can be provided
 The Allied governments in Europe 1t is said, have agreed to undertake their full responsibilities in the mat ter
 Considerable difficulty, however, arises from the fact that the bulk of the foodstuffs must come from the United States and while the Allied
 governments can pay for transporta- ton and can furnish clothing and other services, the payments made III 1 the United States will greatly exceed $lOG, ,0OO O0O, which President Wilson 1 has asked congress to appropriate Herbert C. Hoover, director genera of international relief, has proposed i that d commission representing the 1 four great powers be established IT each of the countries to be relieved
 under the general term of relief tt 1 liberated countries"
 ] All the countries which have set III democratic governments are strug gling to maintain order and to estab | fish themselves permanently. Any
 failure by the United States to sup port these issues, the members of the
 commission are said to believe, vii
 bring ruin in Europe beyond any
 thing since the Middle Ages.
 1 It is understood that the American
 war department is cooperating witt
 the food administration in sending foodstuffs into various Mediterrane ports, but the distribution of these supplies is necessarily being held III
 until fanin"ial matters can be ar
 ranged. T.a money asked from con
 gress, it is declared, is solely for tht 1 purpose of supporting the liberated countries and will not be used for re lief in Germany.
 The conference Tuesday of tht members of the supreme council ant the supreme council of supply and re lief was devoted to efforts to find thu solution for these problems.

MARRYING SOLDIERS.

The government is taking notice of the fact that many women are trying to entrap the returning soldiers into nasty and i'll considered marriages The motive in many cases is declared to be merely a desire to profit by the soldiers insurance money In others it is mere infatuation with anything in uniform. That may not be blameworthy but it indicates a silly and i'll trained girl. She should have some one looking after her. Licensing authorities in many cen ters where soldiers gather have been given a questionable covering these points. They will endeavor to dis suade soldiers from too great matri- monial haste.
 The soldiers will find themselves the center of unlimited admiration l when they get home. The fellow who didn't go will be a dead one in
 society Ii will be a sight to see the girls cluster around the khaki. These
 boys will come pretty near having 1 their pick if they wish to marry It | will be hard for some of them to | keep their heads from being turn | ed
 It will be such aNrelief for the boys ! to get back and resume ordinary so- l cial life, that any wholesome Ameri- can girl will look awfully good to 1 them. But they have seen more of
 life than when they left the good old
 town of Bonneville. Not many will
 care to hitch up with vampires and | insurance seekers They realize l also that they have their way to | make in the world. They have probably acquired some worldly pru- l dence.
 They will find right in old home
 vile just the right kind of home | making girls that they ought to have Chance acquaintances they may make
 on the way may be very charming i but not so likely to be a sure depend
 ence. Some one from the old home
 town, from the setting and environ
 ment they were always used to, wil
 usually be more dependable.

.SHEvIST ARE AGAINST CHURCH.

ShAukursk, Russia. Nov. 20, via London, Dec. 5-CCorrespondent of The Associated Press)-The Russian Orthodox church is taking a leading role in the effort to rid Russia of BoIshevism and it's attendant anti religious trend. The Associatedg Press correspondent recently visited scores of villages along the Dwina and Naga rivers behind the Russo Allied armys lines and found every where the church the strongest in- fluenCe among the peasants against the BoIshoviki and favoring tNe Allies. and every village has one CT more spIendidly built churches re- gardIess of the communitys poverty.
 In this little town far up the Vega
 river near the line of the Nlogda government. there are four beautiful churches and an ancient convent. Mother Raphelia, the superior in charge. received thee correspondent. charge. received the correspondent. face lighted up enthusiastically when the correspondent asked her to e. plain what part the church will play in Rpssia's regeneration when the Bolsheviki are gone.
 II have 300 nuns here" she said,
 and we have gone on living through these troubled times sometimes dis
 turbed, but always feeding the poor and learning from the peasants, who
 are Russia's real people, that they are still with God. And Shenkursll is like hundreds If other towns. The same holds true everywhere. Some people say that the church is losing it's influence. That is not true" Shenkursk was in the hands of tho Bolsheviki for only a short time as the citizens drove out a commissar
 and his wife who were sent from Moscow to organize the Bolsheviki there. During that short time the BoIsheviki made several efforts to confiscate the convents property and once demanded a payment of 8O,O00 rubles. "One day" Mother RapheIia told ! the Correspondent, 'one of my nuns l came to me and said the Bolsheviki were down stairs, eating the dinner i we had prepared for the poor. and wanted to arrest me. I put on my 1 robe and walked down clamly into ! the big dining room. Why. some of i those Boisheviki were local boys. | whom had known as children. I l walked up 10 them and said: Here ! am. arrest me But they were ] ashamed and said it was all a mis- | take, and went away. But the next morning they took the son of a priest and shot him. I don't know why"
 Most of the nuns in the Shenkursk
 convent come from the peasant will lages. There are only q few drawn from the bourgeoise classes. Mother l Gaphelia, who 1as been nun for B
 years. is of a wealthy Petrograd fam
 fly.

Vienna, Jan. 16.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press )--Pending an investigation by Parliament of the disposition of the imperial funds, the
 position of the former Emperor Charles and the erstwhile imperial

 The Socialist papers continue freely to attack the former Emperor, arch dukes and aristocracy, claiming that the latter did not do their duty during the war. There is much critical and frivolous gossup concerning the for mer Empress Zita.
