SEES NO CHANCE FoR, BoLstlEvEM

The veil which for many months eofaE ]. pletsiy has hidden cohaitiosis in Russia, I due to the action of soviet leaders h l barring visitors frem the rest of the | world, is being withdrawn little by the conference, now in session Paris. of the Ail-Russian ConstitutefEt Assembly.
 The prominent exiled Russians wAo ep-
 posed the rule of Lenine and Trotsky, are
 now subansrgine theiF differences in an effort to present united front against belshevism- They are disclosing h Pafis reports from associates still in Russia describing conditions, imagined In part but not before clearly presented to the world which has wondered what waS so- 1 ing on under the greatest of all com munist experiment.
 l These reports are being received by
 cable by A. 1. Sack, difectsf of ths Rus
 sian Information Bureau, who is the | authorized spokesman in this country | of the Russian elements opposed to bolshevists attending the Paris con. ferenee. In q statement today, sum- ming up the reports which have reach ed him, MT. Sack explains why the conference is to be regarded as an event of international importance, and incidentally he diseloses for the first time that there is a famine lh Russian villages this winter 'Prob- ably no less acute than in China"
 Thirteen million people have begun
 to suffer acute starvation this Jan uary," he said, "and 7,00e, ,0e0 already in December of the past year."
 l On the basis of the data he has sab- initted he declares on behalf of hli
 associates, that the downfall Of bol- shevism is inevitable. The twe
 ways which open before Russia after this event has taken place, he says are that Russia win either submerge |. into complete anarchy, which mean. a lengthy political and economic eff sis for all Europe and the rest Of the
 world, or she will begin to recupefate politically and economically, thu, !, opening the possibility for the entire world to normal political and eeoh. annie conditions"
 "The importance of the Paris con. ference" he added, "is that in 1t lie: the foundation for the unity of thu , Russoan democratic forces which wil have to replace the bolshevfki ant . lead their country to recuperation, ant secures for them sympathy and aetfv' , cooperation of the entire democrati world"
 Tt is significant" the statemen g says, "that for the first time sine t the bolshevfki came into power il e November, 1917, all the democrati :. forces in Russia have united on on e platform, which Is the defense of pop r ular rule and civil liberties gainet e through the March revolution of I91i !. against the Red counter-revolution o e bolshevism which destroyed all fiber e ty in Russia and substituted a ne, t Red autocracy in place of the recen e autocracy of the the Glars rule.

 The great religion of reformation of the sixteenth century and all the bless ing5 spiritual and teInporai which 1t has brought to the wofld spfaAg from the simple fecoghitloh Of the supreme Aa- thority oK scfiptIire on all questions Of spiritual truth and personal fespensibiii- H. The refofmAtloh spread like wildhfe and wherever 1t found a foothold there was . new center of light and Ne and progress.
 A sudden and progressive development of mental power. whose minds had been ehslaved by superstltion or hardened by skepticisfn, and the whole face Of the werld-spiritually, morally, intellectually and even matefially-began to be trahs- formed.
 Anyone who studies the history of that great reformation and transformation 1 must see that the acceptance of the au- thofity of the Bible as paramount to that Of either the church or the university or | the state was at the bottom of it all. But what do we see now? The very churches which owe their origin and all | their spiritual achievements in the past to the recognition of the Bible as the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice are gradually lettiig go of | that fundamental principle and teaching I ShO VI Oi GOo dppcdNb nav ing been sifted by human reason and adapted to mans ideas as to what God should be and should dc.
 And what is the result? What Is tht only possible result? A general weaken. ping Of faith and also of mans sense oI personal accountability.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ice Fishing,

MT. Editor: The general assembly of 1919 enacted a statute making a closed season for fishing on the ponds and lakes in the state.
 It was intended to prohibit all fishing on the same between January 3eth and May 1st. The law as framed shut of all ice fishing. As we all know there was small chance in this vicinity to go on the ice before January 26th and those who love this form of sport, and wished to keep within the law were shut out.
 In framing this law, another, which makes the close season for picserel from March 1 to May 1 was overlooked and was not repealed.
 In view of the confliction of the la,ys they have been disregarded in many To- calities.
 Tn conversation with Superintendent of Fisheries and Game John M Cramp- ton at his office this week, he told me that after giving careful consideration to the facts he deemed 1t unwise to at tempt any enforcement this year. This opens the way for ice fishing as undel I the old law, that is March 1st. VIM. W. IVES, Seey Norwich Fishermen's Asse. Norwich, Feb. 4, 1921.
