The Mystical Heart of Russia

The bells of Moscow still ring.
Revolution, famine and civil war
have been unable to mar what for
centuries has been one of Moscow
most distinctive and charming fea-
lures, the evening concerts OF church
bells at shutdown calling the faithful
to worship in Moscow's 1900 churches
and chapels. Moscow has more
churches than any city of her size in
the world. What Mecca is to Islam,
Moscow is to Russia.
Every Saturday evening as the
great clock in the kremlin tolls six
up there above the white towers
which have been quiet for five years,
1900 men of God draw their robes
tighter about them and climb wind.
ing stairs into 1900 belfries, there to
convert the entire city into a strange
bedlam of harmony and discord
which browns the ordinary noises of
the street and sets the listener to
dreaming.
Peasant women. passing in the
street. face the belfry, and silently
drop to their knees on the cold pave
ment. Drosky drivers, pitching
through the deep ruts in rickety car
riagcs, slow down to walk and
place their caps against their breasts.
Pious country folk passing on the
SQphiskaya Naberzchna pause and
face the kremlin across the river.
There is something pathetic in those
bent figures and barred heads, bow
ing to the mute turrets of that an
cient religious citadel where all Rus
sias Cars We're crowned and from
which the Bolsheviki drove its in
mates five years ago, to fill its
nasteries and palaces with
atheist officials and Red soldiers.
During this holy moment of the day,
while the bells peal out anew their
centuries old admonition. the real
heart of Russia lies exposed in all
it's tenderness, mysticism, childlike-
ness and simple beauty.-Edwin w,

Pressure Put on
Majors to Quit
Normal Board
Governor Has Power to De-
mand Resignation of Vet
eran School Director
of Peru.

Lincoln, Aug, 29.-Enemies of Col.
Tom Majors, chairman OF the state
normal board, are willing to give him
two, three or four weeks to resign.
Otherwise, they will ''lay down"
on Governor Bryan and demand that
he take action on charges already
filed against the veteran republican
chairman.
That, was statement made by one
of the antiMajors politicians, In Lin
coin today.
There are a number Of Peru mer-
| chants, and others, so the story goes
who begin to realize that the constant
| jangling at the state normal school
isn't doing the town or the school
any particular good.
The question coming from friends
of the governor, has been raised as
to whether the governor can dis
charge Colonel Majors. This Is
answered readily by attorneys. The
governor, when cause is shown, cal
demand the resignation OF any state
employe.
This question coming so ostensibly
from the governor has caused many
to wonder IL the governor isn't anxf-
GUS to shirk responsibility in the
Majors questions and pacify enemies
Of Majors by intimating he couldn't
do anything in this matter, even II
he desired.
The governor. to date. has refused
to give out formal charges filed
against Colonel Majors oalthough A..
J. Ellenberger of Peru. chairman OK
the anti.Majors clubs, announced he
would be blad to have the governor
give these charges to the public.
Those who know Colonel Majors
and have seen him accept other chal-
lengers resulting In investigations In
which he always was cleared refuse
to believe that the colonel, after so
MANY years OF public service, will
resign under firse.

Britain and France
Striving to Avert
War in Near East
Greco-Italian Dispute May
Provide First Acid Test of
League Of Nations
Council.
BY Universal Service.

London, Aug. 30.-The British for
eign office took speedy action today
In the Italian Greek crisis, visualizing
the situation as akin to a torch near
a barrel of gunpowder.
Orders were quickly sent to Eric
Phipps, British representative at the
ambassadors conference, meeting in
Paris, to insist upon an immediate
inquiry by Greece into the murder OF
General Tellini and other Italian
members of the Greeco-Albanian
boundary commission, and to ask the
fullest amends.
At the same time urgent messages
were sent to Italy insisting on stay
of any aggressive action until Greece
has an opportunity to explain and
offer adequate redress.
Later today the foreign office made
a proposal to Greece that Greece
make an immediate plea to the league
of nations to settle the dispute and
ask a summary meeting of that body.
The foreign office takes the view
that the Greek administration cannot
be blamed for the outrages. and
points out that Greece and Italy only
resumed diplomatic relations fort
night ago, and that therefore con-
niyance with the murderers by the
Greek government would be suicidal.
The official opinion in London leads
to the view that the Italian ultimatum
IL theatrical stunt by Premier Mus
solini for the purpose Of Selling Al
bania and attempting to stir up fur
ther European conflict.
On the other hand, the foreign Of
fee tonight emphasizes that France
has taken a stand with Britain at the
ambassadors conference to prevent
clash. and there is every expectation
that the two great powers, Britain
and France, will intervene to prevent
a new war which is setting the Balk.
ans ahame tonight, and which might
be the opening Of another world con
nict.
In case the British suggestion Is
applied, 1t is possible that the Greece
Italian dispute may provide the first
acid test of the league OF nations
council, which meets at Geneva to-
morrow. Both parties are members
of the league and are bound by arti-
Gle IL of the covenan. to submit the
matter to the league.
