ART TREASURES SOLD
PLAN TO DISPOSE OF PRICELESS
WORKS GATHERED FOR CEN.
TURLEs BY FORMER AUSTRIAN
NOBILITY.

1t is stated that the present author
tiles in Austria are planning to dis
pose of the priceless Hapsburg art
treasures, gathered by the dethroned
imperial family. and by other Austrian
families of nobility. The Chancellor
of Austria has made the following
statement: ''The people of Austria
are literally starving. Child mortality
has reached appalling figures, and dis
eases, such as ricketts, and tubercu-
losis, are sweeping away the child
population. Women of nobility have
to stand in line for hours daily while
waiting for their portion of cabbage
soup at public kitchen. This misery
it is planned to appease by the sale
of the national art treasures" An
English syndicate has made one offer
of fifty million dollars for only por-
ton of the treasure, if the allied gov
ernments approve. Others are in ne
gotiation. The Imperial Museum in
the Ringstrasse is the chief deposi-
tory.
Morgan, Frick, Widener and others
have paid on an average about three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
seven "Old Masters" purchased else
where and brought to this country,
that is, Old Masters of the first DUAL
ity, such as Rembrandt, Velasquez and
Raphael. 1t is said that there are
more than thousand pictures of this
class in the Vienna museum. Among
them are paintings by all the Masters
mentioned, as we'll as by others, of
equal merit RaphaePs Madonna del
Giardino," the "Crucifxion," by Van
Dyke, Durer's Holy Trinity" Botti-
celli's Madonna and Child" are but
a few of the distinctly religious sub
jects found there. A silver plaque of
the Holy Family by Lencker a gold
smith of the sixteenth century, is
a wonderful specimen of lost art
Only Rome and Paris could boast of
collections such as those of Vienna.
1t is the beginning of the end of the
great art treasures.

The Sim Fein propaganda in Amer
lea, with its accompanying jar on the
war time spirit that existed between
Great Britain and the United States,
is causing much uneaSiness in Lon
don. Some time ago it was felt that
Irish-AmericanS were engaged upon
straight anti-British campaign that
would wear itself out by excess, but
time has shown that it has gone
deeper and stirred up many of the
half-forgotten yet latent antipathies
that was hoped would naturally die.
1t is now dawning upon the authori-
ties that the weapon of the moment

ticles from Mr. Bottom:ey's paper,
John Bull" that have been violently
anti-American, are now freely circu-
lated by Irish newspapers in the
United States in the endeavor to show
America has only been camoufiaged
during the war for selfish reasons
The press of England now feels that
the recent campaign of criticism of
the United States has been a great
blunder, which Viscount Grey is now
actively trying to smooth over.
1t has indeed caused rude awak
ening to find that in their bitter ar
raignment of the United States Sen
ate, many London and provincial
papers have been playing into the
hands of the Sim Feiners. In fact the

CHURCH AND ARMY
GENERAL COUNSELS
COOPERATION BETWEEN ARMY
OFFICIALS AND CHAPLAINS-
RECOGNIZES TRUE VALUE OF
HELPFULNESS.

In a recent order sent to all camp COM
manders, Adjutant General Harris
says:
Commanding officers of all camps,
posts and stations of the Army of the
United States have been enjoined to
cultivate helpful community relation
ship. In this connection it is espe-
cially desirable that soldiers be kept
in close touch with the Church and
that they be encouraged to SUPPORT
communions of their respective faiths.
In most commands there are officers
and men who have special talent for
public speaking who, if invited, would
gladly assist in meetings of mems
clubs, young peoples societies, Sun
day schools, and other church enter
tainments"
Speaking to the clergy, General
Harris says: ~
''The part, the clergy played in sus-
tanning the morale of the army and of
the nation during the World war is be-
yond computation. 1t is earnestly de-
sired that the interest and enthusiasm
shown throughout the emergency
may now be manifested toward the
permanent army. To this end it is
suggested that you become acquainted
with the troops serving near or Wis
iting your parish, and that you take
into consideration the military talent
that may be. available for various func-
tons associated with the church. par
ticularly in connection with patriotic
occasions"

FALSEHOOD EXPOSED

FACTS REGARDING ARMY DE-
SERTIoNS IN ClVAL WAR.

In a letter from P G.. Harris, adj
jutant General of the United States
army, made public by the Friends of
Irish Freedom National Bureau of In
formation, statements rejecting upon
the loyalty and patriotism of Amer
leans of Irish blood who served in the
Union Army in the Civil War, which
are being given wide distribution in
all parts of the United States, are
refuted. The statements purported to
give accurate figures of Civil War de-
sertions by racial groups, which re.
fleet upon the soldiers of Irish blood.
The Adjutant General wrote: "The
whole number of soldiers of any given
nativity in the service during the
Civil War is not known, and not even
an approximately correct statement of
either the number or the percentage
of assertions of any given nativity can
be based upon such data as are avail
able.
When it is understood that the War
Department is the sole custodian OF
the records of the armies in service
during the Civil War, and that the
Department has never made state
ment or estimate of the number Of de
serters of any particular nativity dur
ing that war, it will he realized thai

The first intimation of the crast
came when a small portion of the
cliff was heard to crash into the
depths below. This caused people to
turn their gaze south across the lake
and then a great section of the tow

long and of great width, fell with
mighty roar that resounded through
out the whole section.
