RUSSIA Is REQUIsITIoNING
ALL CHURCH TREASURES

Moscow, April (By the A. P.).-The
reuuisitioning of church treasures is in
full swing throughout Russia, but under
the tensest circumstances. From ten
provinces there already have been col
lected 70 pounds Of gold and 1890
pounds Of silver.
From six churches in the outlying dis
tricts OF Moscow requisitionfng parties on
| Sunday secured 3.132 pounds Of silver,
quantity of gold and "a diamonds. Two
synagogues yielded II pounds of silver
and two golden articles. In one syna
gogue the custodians were arrested be-
cause 10 valuable articles that had been
listed were missing.
Up to March 10, churches in the gov
ernment of Viatka had yielded 2 Ia
pounds, or about $500 carats, of dia-
monds, and nearly 10 pounds of pearls
and other jewels
The central committee Of the Moscow
province communist party has ordered all
communists to surrender ali their gold,
silver and jewels, with the exception Of
! bolshevik decorations. for the benefit of
the famine-stricken people.
The soviet government has begun, in
the presence of Bishop Antontn, to smelt
the gold and silver which has been con-
iscated. The famine committee has
I asked the government to advance 1000 =
900 gold rubles against the yahuables al
! ready secured in order that it may i'm
mediately purchase bread abroad.
There has been some rioting, but gen.
orally no active resistance TO actual
| seizures has occurred. The Izvestia says
| today that a. collision between a requisi-
tioning party and church members has
taken place at Smolensk, and that there
, were some casualties Another newspaper
| reports near-riot between "oid women
and raiders at one. Of the Moscow
| churches Sunday.
The governments theory is that a
great majority of the pa%shioners. and
most of the minor clergy, approve the
| humanitarian aims of the acquisitions.
and that it is only the princes of the
church who, for purely political purposes,
are urging resistance. The newspapers
and posters which emblaze on the bill
boards of Moscow protest against the
| attitude Of. the Most Rev. Dr.. Tikhon,

French butler who never had been ap-
pretended. His own home at Stock

Another reference to New England was
made by Eugene Diaset, a French sailor,

one of the robber band. According to
