of the Methodist church.

address in which he formally opened

Prince Andreas of Greece was the
third son Of the late King George of
Greece. He was born in Athens on jan
uary 90 1882, and served in the Greek
army during the Balkan war of 1913.
After the fight of King Constantine
from Greece in 1917 it was reported he
aspired to the throne, but this move
was reported to have been blocked by
NJ Venizelos, then premier. When Con-
stantine returned to Athens, Prince
Andreas was appointed general in the
Greek army and late last month was
put in command of division at the
front. He was married to Princess Alice
of Battenberg on Oct. Z, 1903.

Mr.. Anderson said that the allied

the Anti Saloon league and that there
are mo initiation fees, dues or as

of the Anti Saloon league would show
that more than 100000 persons in the
United States are regularly contrib

of the allied citizens, he said, will be
started by the league this week in ev

paid to any of its officials.
Quoting from Mr.. Rockefeller's
pledges he read: "The question of the
wisdom and propriety of national pro-
hibition is no longer at issue, having

federal constitutional amendment and

of the American film salary scale the

But there is another point Of view
also. Why should American audiences
want to see German made films? 1t is
quite certain that the government at
Berlin. which virtually controls the
motion picture industry in that coun-
try. will seek to use this medium for
propaganda. One of the plainest pur-
poses today of Germany is to evoke
sympathy, especially in the United
States. Having failed lamentably in

Bolshevik Loot.

1t is reported from Helsingfors that
soviet Russian officials have decreed
the sale abroad of art treasures seized
from palaces and private individuals.
The decree provides for the creation of
a state fund of luxuries and art OBJ
jects to be drawn upon for means of
obtaining cash in the world market
for the purchase Of food. 1t matters
nothing to the Moscow organization
that these treasures in the past be-
longed to individuals. 1t is of no mo-
ment that they were stolen by the
soviet dictators. They are now the
property of the state, if that term can
be applied to the cabal at present gov
erning Russia.
Probably purchasers will be found
for these treasures of art who are not
particularly scrupulous about their
source or the circumstances of their
acquisition. Perhaps the former own
ers are dead. massac cred by the soviet.
Perhaps there are no heirs. More
probably. however, there are living
people who are actually the owners in
law of these paintings, sculptures and
jewels. A nice question will arise later
as to their title if they can prove prop
erty. While the bolshevik government
is not recognized as the legal, authen.
tic and authoritative administration
of Russia the seizure and sale of these
treasures cannot be regarded as other
than a crime. and those who buy par
ticipate in that crime and are subject
to loss if later the ownership is estab.
lished.
AS long as the soviet regime in Rus
STA is denied official standing its acts
are illegitimate. Later recognition, il
granted. may legitimatize them. This
fact should be borne in mind by all
who think Of purchasing. in whatever
country, the goods now put on the
market that came as loot from the
homes and palaces Of the victims of
the red terror.
