Radical efforts for "one big union

MOSCOW, July 20-The authorities
have published partial return OF the
amount OF precious stones and. metals
garnefed in as the result OF. the seizure
of the property OF the churches. II reads
like tale OF the Arabian Nights. OF
gold, q y poods. of silver IS pools,

Of precious metals. rs pools; most aston
ishing OF all Of pearls 3 poods have been
collected in the thirty provinces for
which particulars are available. They
include the Governments OF Moscow.
Petrograd, kieff, Kasan and Mini
Novgorod.
The exact number and appreciation
OF the diamonds Is not published yet. but
We are told that the number OF precious
stones of value is 43,7ll. These include
diamonds. rubies, sappbires and emer-
AIDS, topazes, amethysts, garnets and the
other semi-precious stones are contemp-
tuously dismissed as "sackfuls
Besides these riches that have appar-
emily been already separated. uaset and
classified there are ancient and priceless
works OF the goldsmith's art. set with
gems or great value that are to escape
museums A special commission OF ex-
perts has been appointed to take in hand
the valuation of these masterpieces.
The description OF some OF the gems
would make the mouth OF any respec-
table merchant in Hatton Gardens water.
Several diamonds OF 40 carats and over
are mentioned. the prize Of the collection
being superb stone OF AZ carats. Pink
and blue. yellow and black diamonds
have long paragraph 10 themselves.
There is touch OF fairy tale about the
description of a pearl of wonderful
luster the size OF pigeons egg"
As the intention is to sell these riches
abroad the suspicion that the compilera
OF the list are drawing the long bow is
natural one. In this instance. however.
the Bolsheviks have probably no occa-
sion to write fiction. 1t was well known
that some OF the Russian churches
possessed stones OF almost uncqualled
beauty and rarity.
From a private source ! know that
the Cathedral Of st. Isaac in Petrograd
alone nearly yielded pools Of pure
gold. or all the provinces passed in
review so far that OF Moscow proved the
richest treasure ground. : Though that
of Petrograd ran IL close the poorest
booty was obtained from the voiga re-
gions. Whether because the local
churches were really poorer there or
because the priests succeeded In hiding
their more precious posse ssions is not
clear.
Paris, London and Amsterdam are
the places where the bulk OF the stones
will be offered. though some OF the more
distinctive and rare pieces will be re-
served for special attack on American
millionaires. IL is an article OF faith
with people here that American million
aires have mania for presenting their
wives with entire collections OF historic
gems Some Of the booty has already
lett, Russia; the delegates to The Hague
took a certain amount with them for
