Washington.-Special efforts to OBJ
tain over-subscriptions from commu-
mites to counterbalance possible un-
der-subscriptions from others will be
made this week by Victory Liberty

SACRIlEGE and DEsECRAT'ON
synnathiea Of Russians Aiienated by
Absolute and Wanton Disregard and
Disrespeet Of Their Religion.

Archangel-Thes situation Is still
tranquil, though the breaking up of
the river may dictate the expediercy
of action against the belshevists next
week. Our fotilla is ready to go up

strength and fervor. General Ironside
is doing his utmost to set them on
their legs and instill a belief in their
own capabilities.
The officers and men find entertain
ment in the evening at dances and
visiting different messes. Food is

fanaticism and wanton dissertation Of
churches aHenates any fugitive sym

Captain Hitching has just returned
from a special investigation Of a viii
lage recently retaken from the boil
shevists after being In their hands a
month. The church was used for bill
letting troops, the baptismal font filed
with ikons and broken sacramental
garments 'sed as busters, all the cup
boards ransacked and the house pill
laged. One villager, an allied parti-
san, had both his hands severed. 9th
er districts report similar and worse
orgies. In one instance there was a
mock marriage between a priest and
a mare. From some villages they took
away the school mistress, but the viii
layers say there was no defilement of
women folk.
