Treasury of Cathedral
Has Disappeared

Scrgiyevo, Russia, Feb. 4.-The
0,000, 900 treasury of the Cathedral
Of the Trinity monastery of st. Ser
Gius has disappeared. Red soldiers
now use as barracks the buildings
Of what was once regarded as the
richest and most famous convent of all
the Russias, save possibly that at
Kiev. There are but five monks left
in the monastery. Fifteen others have
removed a mile and half distant to
the Church of Gethsemane, at Cher
nigovskaya (Mother of God), where
they have founded an humble COM
mune and till the soil.
The other monks who lived at this
vast religious mecca, to which yearly
came 100000 pilgrims, have been scat
tered.
There are but few pilgrims now to
pray before the ikon Of st. Sergius,
the miraculous powers of which was
supposed by Russians TO have saved
the monastery from destruction by
the French army of invasion in 1912.
The very jewels of the open silver
sarcophagus Of st. Sergius have been
removed or replaced with falce ones,
it is claimed. Many Of the vast treas
ures of church vessels, mitres and
croziers, made of solid gold and in
laid with precious stones Of immense
value, are missing. 1t is claimed that
the loot from the monastery equalled
in value the treasures Of gold and sill
yer and stones of st. Peters, in Rome.
The monks remaining at the mon
astery show the churches to the few
visitors. The monastery is classed as
a national Soviet museum. No service
is held within the celebrated churches.
This city, which in pre-war days
permitted neither Jews nor soldiers
to camp or dwell here, is now full OF
both. Many of the big merchant
stores were burned in July, 1920, as
in other cities Of Russia, as part of
counter-revolutionary movement. At
the same time portions of the lofty
outer walls, built in the Middle Ages
to defend the monastery, were dam
aged.

Cheka Knows How
To Keep a Secret

Moscow, Feb. 3.-Communism and
aristocracy are antagonistic in Russia
but the fact that the individual Com
munist may still entertain kindly feel
ings toward persons once prominent in
the old regime, was disclosed when
the eGlielksss &fTested-a princess the 9TH
er day.
During star chamber investiga-
ton in which the princess was kept
four days without food, favorite
method of the heka, the agent learned
that the princess was able to maintain
life because three Communists were
supplying her with food.
81 can't keep men from falling in
love with me-" confessed the princess
"and in these cases one man furnished
ME with meat, another with sugar
and another with bread. They just in
sisted On making the presents to me.
With the cost of living what it is, and
the Soviet merely giving me room rent
free, I let them keep it up"
AS the Cheka knows how to keep a
secret, it is keeping this one from the
three Communists.

Fourteenth Infantry
Regiment of Swimmers

Christobal, Canal Zone, Feb. g.
The 14th infantry, stationed at Fort
Davis here, has become a regiment of
swimmers. Almost every man in the
outfit is now able to navigate in the
water and Colonel William H. Oury,
sthe commander, is proud Of the
achievement.
The work Of teaching the soldiers
to be at home in the water began
three months ago under the direction
of Homer Baker, physical director OF
the Gatun club house.
After resting spell, the instructor
will undertake to teach every man in
the regiment to swim so feet or more
carrying a pack containing a first aid
kit, canteen, blanket, shelter half tent
tent pole, konoman can, tent pins and
other incidentals.
When this is accomplished, 1t is
claimed, that the 14th infantry will be
the only regiment in the United States
army equal to such feat.
Workmanship is regarded as inval-
liable for military work in the Canal
Zone.

Popes Have Paid
No Taxes on Property

Rome, Feb. 6.-Inhabitants of
Castle Godolfo, about 16 miles from
Rome, looking over the beautiful lake
of Albano, are agitated and have ex-

days Of heavy taxation the popes

Japan in Favor of
Limitation of Armaments

Toxic, Feb. 3.-That Japan has an
opportunity, thanks to the benefits
likely to accrue from the limitation
of armaments proposals in Washing
ton, of revolutionizing her industries
and of establishing herself as the pro-
ducer of the FINEST and lowest priced
goods in the worlds markets, is the
conclusion reached by Mr.. r. Full
yama, president of the Toxic chamber
of commerce in an article in the Fit
sugyo-no-Nippon, in which ne dis
cusses the post armament problems of
this country.
Japan loves peace as much as does
any other nation in the world," begins
Mr.. Fijiyama, "and she warmly sup
ports the American proposal to limit
armaments. If the nations of the world
are firmly resolved on peace, arma-
ments can be altogether abolished
though certain means of defence must
be provided for the preservation of or
der"
Mr.. Fujiyama goes on to show how
if Japan would reduce her land arma-
ments in the same proportion as she
will her naval forces. she can effect a
reduction in her expenditure of about
four hundred million yen year.
"As to the proper use of this money
thus saved, the president of the
chamber Of commerce expresses the
opinion that nearly half of 1t should
be applied to the abolition of such
taxes as tend to retard industrial
progress or interfere with the national
well-being. The taxes that he would
like to see repealed are those now i'm
posed on cotton textiles, soy, lighting
oil and medicines, as well as the bus
mess tax, which at present infiicts a
hardship on many, especially on
those in small or modest lines OF bus
mess. Together with the repeal OF
taxes comes the raising OF the present
taxable minimum.
"The balance of the money saved by
the reduction in ornaments. amount
ing to about Yen O,c00, 900, should,
in Mr.. Fujiyama's opinion be used for
the development of industry and the
Improvement of the standard OF cui-
ture.

Argentina Desires
Closer Relations

Buenos Aires, Feb. 6.-Recent of
fers of credits by the Argentine gov
ernment to France and Belgium for
The purchase of Argentine produce
have been extended to all countries
where Argentina has diplomatic rep
yesentation.
A circular sent out by Foreign
Minister Pueryrredon to the various
legations says that the Argentine
government being desirous of making
loser all its relations whit other ma
tions, thereby putting into practice a
policy of economic cooperation, de-
$ires that Argentina's representa-
lives abroad should inform the gov
crnments to which they are accredit-
cd that the Argentine government is
willing to grant all kinds of facilities
Tor buying Argentine meat, cereals,
wool and other national produce
which may be necessary for the con-
sumption and the manufacturing in
dustries Of other countries.
The Argentine foreign representa-
tives are instructed to point out the
abundance of Argcntina's new cereal
harvest, the suitability of Argentine
meat for the requirements Of all the
consuming markets, the fact that
previous wool clips have been partial
~ liquidated and that the sale of the
present year wool clip has commenc-
ed under favorable conditions.
Argentina's representatives are al
so instructed to put themselves into
contact with commercial and indus
trial centers and inform them fully
on the matter.

Poland Soon To Be
Self-Supporting Nation

Warsaw, Feb. 3.--Poland is grad.
ually making her place in the world
as a self-supporting nation, accord.
ing to recent reports of Allied ex-
perts in economies.
Within the last few months the new
republic has made rapid strides to.
ward Strengthening many difficulties
in the opinion of the students of eco
nomics, one OF the principal factors
assisting in a balance in holland S
favor being liquidation of the Upper
Silesian matter which had been hang
ing fire for nearly three years, the
settlement giving the Poles their own
coal and from 100000 to 1900 900
tons annually for export.
The population of Poland is approx
imately 30,000,0O0.
While the American Relief Admin
istration continues to feed some 5O0,-
coo children in the devastated areas
and some Of the crowded Industrial
centers, it is planned to abandon this
work altogether in the spring, as, with
good crops another season, the c%-
perts believe the government and toe
people will be able to get along with
out outside help.
The necessity of buying foreign cx-
change for foodstuffs, situation
which Poland faced from the bcgin
ming, has almost passed and agricul-
turists estimate that, with few exccp-
tions the country's own products wilt
meet the requirements. This is ex-
rected to relieve the constant drain
upon the government treasury which
bought flour and other necessities
from America and elsewhere and sold
them at loss to the people.
To assist in meeting current cx-
penses an emergency tax legislation
has been enacted by the Diet, from
which return of something like So
000,0O0,00O marks is expected. The
regular tax assessment has been re-
adjusted with the aim Of bringing in a
return which will Offset the present
deprecated value Of the Polish mark
and the increased cost Of government.
Lodz, the largest industrial center
of the young republic, the cotton mills
ere operating at about 80 per cent
of pre-war capacity and the wooden
mills at about 25 per cent. Some of
che Lodz textiles are exported to Rus
sia over the Ukrainian frontier.
Raw cotton for the Lodz spindles is
which the Poles are compelled to buy
from the outside, this necessitating
purchase of foreign exchange with
Polish marks as low as 5000 to the
dollar.
