Paris.-A wireless message received
here addressed to DIR. Fridtjof of Nan
sen, head of the commission to feed
Russia, from NJ Tchitcherin, Bolshe-
vlk foreign minister, and relayed by
the foreign office at Berlin announces
that the Bolsheviki refuse to cease hos
tilities as a condition of the provision
ing of Russia by neutrals.
Tchitcherin declares that a continu-
alton of hostilities is necessary for
political reasons and that it would
be poor policy to stop them. The so
Wet government, he adds, is willing to
support movement to feed Russia so
long as 1t has no political character
''but will not be duped."
The feeling of the Russian popula-
tion is no solution of the Russian
question, it is declared in a memoir
andum sent to the peace conference
by Prince Lvoff, Sergius Sazonoff and
President Tschaikowsky of the north
Russian government concerning the
proposal to feed soviet Russia through
neutral countries on condition that the
Bolshevist cease hostilities.
The memorandum says:
"The allies wish to assist the Rus
sian people and to reduce the starva-
tion brought by the Bolshevist regime
This cannot fail to awake deep feel
ings of gratitude.
Nevertheless, the signers of this
declaration consider that the realiza-
tion of this generous thought will
have contrary result unless efficient
measures are taken to prevent the
Bolshevist authorities from interfering
with the revictualing of Russia. To
bring failure to this deed of humanity
would be of use only to the protectors
of the Bolshevist regime and would
help to prolong their domination"

Without large turnout of military men we cannot make the showing that we wish. It will not ment, but one for the ultimate bene- fit of the city.

OLD MOTHERS.

I love old mothers-mothers with
 white hair And kindly eyes, and lips grown
 softly sweet With murmured blessing over sleep
 ing babes; There is som mething in their quiet
 grace That speaks of the calm of Sabbath
 afternoons; A knowledge in their deep, unfalter-
 ing eyes That far outreaches all philosophy. Time, with caressing touch about
 them weaves The ver-threaded fairy shawl of
 age, While all the echoes of forgotten
 songs Seem joined to lend a sweetness to
 their speech. Old mothers!-as they pace with
 slow timed step, Their trem bling hands cling gently to
 Youths strength: Sweet mothers!-as they pass, one
 sees again Old garden walls, old roses and old
 loves.

Long Island Twins.
(New York Sum-

The chance of being born a twin, according to the most recent statis- tics of this prolific city, is 1 in about 140; that is, in every 280 visits of the stork he arrives once with a double gift The chance of a new born child to live to the age of S9 is 1 in 55. In the case of twins a gam bier would lay 2,5O0 to 1 at their birth that both would not survive eighty mine years. Therefore, multil plying 2S0 by 2,500, it would seem that the chance of finding a pair of twins alive at the age of 89 is i in 100000 Therefore the distinction of the twins of Sea Cliff, Mrs. Maria Hawxhurst Banks and Miss Eliza beth Hawxhurst. is great Stretching the odds not unreasonably, they are ladies in a million.
 The birthday of these fortunate twins has taken the place on the cal endar of Long Island of the annual celebration which attended the birth day of the Muncy twins until the death of Twin Samuel in 1914. These brothers, born on Christmas Day in 1918, lived together, after being widowed, until death separated them, their last birthday together oelng their ninety fifth. Theirs was re-. marka ble case for the chances at birth against, both living to the age of 95 were more tfan 100000 to l.
