Monks Rebuild an .4tboy

Several hundr ID years ago one of the
fines. Roman Catholic churches in the
West Country became a ruin. This
was the church belonging to Buckfast
Abbey. in Devon, which had been built
in the thirteenth century. Now the
monks OF the abbey, after sixteen
years labor, have almost succeeded IN
rebuilding their place of worship.
Stone by stone they have been raising
up the old building, and by August
their long task will be completed.
The monks have done this work as
part Of their ordinary monastic duties,
so that lot penny has been spent in
actual labor The materials which
they have used, chiefly Bath stone and
Cornish limestone, have cost 100000.
Th sc monks are not all English.
Many are French, German, Bavarian
and of other nationalities, and it is q
curious fact that during the war the
work was carried on, the monks work
ing peacefully together as though ma
tionalism did not exist. The Lord Abb

The Isle of Birds

At this time, when the Pacific Ocean
is the object Of 50 much interest, it is
pertinent to recall that there exists in
i; IL tiny territory known as Clipperton
Island, for which France aid Mexico
hnve been contending since 1850, when
Captain de Kerveguen took possession
Of it in the name of France. The King
Of Italy, chosen for an arbtcr, was
about to decide the controversy when
the war broke out and caused the mat
ter to be indefinitely laid aside.
This island h.s never had single
rativc human inhabitant, but is peo-
pled by millions Of sea birds, and
guano is it, sole product. But the
opening of the Panama Canal has given
it much maritime value. It's area is
not mere than fifty kilometcrs square.
1t rises only three to four meters above
the sea level, its greatest altitude being
nineteen meters in the east and fifty
meters in the west. The anchoring
ground is in the northern part, where
two or three houses installed on the
shore contain all its population. By
cutting this beach, which is only few
meters in dimension, it would be easy
10 give To vessels access t. the interior
lake, where they would find an excel
lent shelter.
The island would be valuable stop

history.
"Many thanks, comrades; we are too
democratic to endure such a regime"
Where the H. c. Of L. is UnknoUn
There is an admirable country where
the high cost of living is unknown.
You can get a live sheep for so cents.
If you want leg of mutton you pay
only few cents. Eggs are relatively
dearer; they are quoted at cents a
dozen, that is l cent more than the
cost of chicken.
There are, of course, as everywhere
the newly rich, individuals who don't
mind throwing money out of the '~in-
dow, and who are seen at the market
paying 10 cents for guinea fowl and
II cents for a partridge.
On the other hand broad is dear. 1t
cost nearly 20 cents pound. They
make light of it by eating vegetables
which at the market are thrown in

New-York tribune., 1922-04-09

Napoleon said after his fall that
one Of the weaknesses Of the empire
was that "the whole edifce rested on
me-" 81 had to deal personally
with all questions, and victory was
only where ! was present.; for, in my
absence the generals did not know what
to do and the soldiers had no longer
the same enthusiasm. With more rea-
son than the Roi Soeil, could say 4
am the state for the King was prn-
ciple that survived the man. The news
of my death in Russia spread in Paris;
if everybody had believed it, the at
tempt Of Mallet would have succeeded
and the empire would not have sur
vived me twenty-four hours"
In these days there is a man who,
too, could say: "Let me go away and
everything is in danger. Let me die,
and all breaks down" "This man"
says Clement Pantel in "Le Journal" "is
Lenine, who is of the type of Napoleon;
he embodies the regime which he has
founded, and when he sneezes all free
mem of Russia profess to have a cold
at was rumored that Lenine intended
taking part in the conference at Genoa.
Immediately the high dignitaries of the
communistic empire and the old grena-
ders of the Red guard cried with tears
in their voices:
"'What shall we do if he leaves US?
And if some conspirator cuts the thread
of his life, what is to become OF the
Russian revolution? Without him all
is lost. Let US supplicate him
to remain in the Kremlin, and in the
event that he still would want to de-
part let US use force to keep him
among us!'
"Evidently this is fattering for Lee
nine-the only indispensable man OF
our epoch-for there is not in the rest
| of the world single kingdom, single
republic, whose chief has the right to
decllre:
"If disappear everything goes to
the dogs!'
mo one else makes this intole able
pretension. Kings, presidents, popes
succeed one another, and the show goes
on! But Lenine is d sort of god, VINO
must always be present in the temple
and no one can replace him. In France
some mystics of the Commune even
think of worshipping him.
$50 it is to this end that this So
called liberation of the proletarat, this
revolution made in the name of equal
ity, comes. A man, in the communistic
organization, occupies a situation like

Easier Dirorce for British Poor

The rule committee of the British
Supreme Court is drawing up new set
Of rules for poor persons, so that poor
women who wish to have divorce will
not find it quite so expensive as for
merly.
Under the old rules wife was not
acknowledged as . poor person" if tlte
combined income of herself and her
husband exceeded 20 shiiiings a week,
even if they were living apart. Also,
the wife could not proceed unless she
deposited % shillings in court.
Now it is proposed that wife shall
be admitted as q poor person" if her
own income does not exceed 20 shil-
lings a week, and if she is unable to
deposit the 25 shillings required before
proceeding with the case, it will bo

4 Fall in Eggs

They order this matter better in
CasabIanca (Morocco). Here in New
York the price of eggs has indeed gone
down. But that is just because of the
season. The hens know that many
eggs are wanted in Lent!
But at Casblanca the price went
lower still, without waiting for times
and seasons. The overseer of the mar.
ket--may his name go to history
having realized that the egg dealers
contended for the best stalls, decided
that the coveted square should be as

from Poincare which he knew would
appeal to Lloyd George that Poincare
would not insist on his idea that all
diplomatic exchanges should be by
medium of telegrams between en-
basses. He gained Poincare's consent
to meet Lloyd George in person.
With Poincare's concession in his
pocket and Poncare's ideas in his head,
Benes appeared at Downing Street
, Lloyd George, it is understood, heard
some plain and earnest talk as we'll as
version Of what Europe would come
to unless France and England got to-
gether Lloyd George accepted the
basis of understanding presented by
Benes and agreed to cross the Channel
to France in order to have some more
plain talk with Poincnre.
When the Anglo-French meeting was
held in Boulogne few days latcr-a
rather historic meeting, which termi-
mated in joint communique sparkling
with phrases such as "full mutual con-
fdence" and mo differences of po-
lltical character will stand in the way
etc, the little Czecho- -Slovak statesman
was back in Prague, waiting for Italy
to form a new government so that he
might go to Rome for some more plain
talk with the Italian Premier.
Benes is a hard, quiet worker and
does not play to the grandstand. 1t
has been his accomplishments rather
than himself which have attracted the
| attention of Europe to his statesman
ship. He worked as a correspondent
of the Prague newspapers "Pravo
Lidu" and "Volne Myslenky" to pay
| for his schooling in France, having
emigrated to Paris from Bohemia with
one hundred francs in his pocket at
the age of twentyone. On being grad
uated from Dion University in 1909 he
tackled bold subject for his doctors
thesis: The Austrian Problem and
the Czecho Question-A Study Of the
Political Struggles of the Slavic Ma
tionalities of Austria.'
Such propaganda was not welcome to
the autocratic. Austrian police system,
and this thesis, tabled in an Austrian
police dossier, may have had some
thing to do with leading Benes to an
/ Austrian Jail carly in the great war,
He escaped and made his way to
Switzerland, where in company with
Professor Masaryk he began in earnest
to plead the case of the submerged
| Czech and Slovak natonalities. For
many months Benes worked in Paris
while Professor Masaryk worked in
London, Washington and New York.
The opportunity to put political
ideas into practice began with the
peace conference in Paris.
The little Premier has been a dis
ciple of Masaryk since the latter wa:
his professor in philosophy at Prague
University. 1t is said of Benes thai
he combines all the qualities of hi;
teacher and adds a unique ability OF
his own to these.

is plentiful. But it is almost worth
less. Those who have it can scarcely
buy anything with it. Yet, despite
their privations, the people have not
altogether lost their sense of humor.
Thus one we'll known citizen, who has
for many weeks been confined to his
bed by illness, has whied away his
tedium by calculating what can be pur-
chased for krone, the Austrian coin,
which formerly was equivalent to 90
cents.
For one krone at the present time,
he reckons, 10 grams Of coal can be
obtained. For the same amount one
might get 08 grant Of meat or u gram
Of fat, or the hundredth part of an
onion. Those who have no household
caa for the one krone also get nine
liters of gas and cook one-half gram Of
noodles or one gram of prunes. If, how
ever, the money had to be spent for
clothes the krone could purchase half
a square ccntimetcr of stuff for suit
or ls Of button.
For people so frivolous as to
squander the krone on delicacies or
treat themselves with something eX-
traordinary, it is to be noted that for q
krone there can be obtained gram
of candy or O9 cubic centimcters Of
wine. This is tie rate of exchange
Of the Austrian krone at home. One
had better bestir himself, says the
arithmetician, for before long the one
and two krone bills Will be withdrawn
from circulation, because then nothing
at all can be got for it.
