MOSCOW, May Bishop
Edgar Blake, who said he spoke
for the Methodists of, the United
States, created a sensation today
when he defended the Soviet
revolution in speech before the
all-Russian ecclesiastical council of
the Living Church" This is
the branch of the Orthodox
Church which supports the
Soviets.
Greetings From America.
81 bring greetings from the
Methodists of America" said Bishop
Blake. These distressing days are
witnessing one of the most remark
able upheavals in history. But I do
not share the fears that civilization
ID doomed.
Revolutionary upheavals do not
bring death, but larger life inspired
by God. It is folly for the church
70 pronounce anathema against
those who are seeking new truth.
The church must seek the great

church's right to exist is only to
serve the people. Only a few chal-
lenge the right of the church TO

"A great struggle is in progress
TO abolish oppression.
Those who have been oppressed
and exploited must be given a
chance at the best things in life. In
this struggle the church cannot stand
aloof. Russia is passing through a
great social and economic expert
ment. For the first time in history
4 great nation and a great people
are dedicating themselves to the
service of mankind. But unless God
assists, how can this movement sue

Church Should Join Hands.
Doubtless things have been done
IN Russia which should not have
been done. Also, things were not

Other speakers condemned the
Most Rev. Father Tikhon, former
patriarch of the Orthodox Church
who is under arrest charged with
treason.
After Bishop Blake had ceased
speaking, Metropolitan Peter, head
of the Orthodox Church, warmly EN-
braced him.

Benjamin MacReady, at her home
today as she waited for news from
her son, Lieut.. John A MacReady,
United States air force, who with
Lieut.. Oakley G.. Kelly, is making
his second attempt to fly across the
United States without a stop.
John is a good flyer" said his
mother. II would never go up with
any other aviator" she smiled, "but
I'd go anywhere with John. All he
and Lieutenant Kelly will have to
eat during the flight is soup and
coffee from thermos bottles. l wish
could have inspected the soup be-
fore they took off. But John doesn't
need me, now, l am afraid. He
seems to be quite able to take care
of himself, from plotting his plane
to inspecting his own soup"

TO BRITISH Note ON
PREPARATIONS TODAY

Paris, July 29-(By A. P.)-The text
of the Belgian reply to the British
communication dealing with repara-
tons was received this morning and
the French and Belgian replies will be
delivered to the British foreign office
tomorrow.
NJ. Poincare, who is spending the
week end at his country place at Sam
pigny, received the contents of the Bel
gian note over special telephone con-
Meeting his home with the foreign Of
fec.
While the strictest secrecy still is
preserved with regard to the contents
of the replies of France and Belgium
to the British note, it can be said that
that the Belgian government has given
effect to certain observations made by
the French government this morning
with regard to certain phases in it's
draft reply. as NJ. Poincare did to the
observations of the Belgian govern
ment in the draft of his reply submit
ted to it on Friday.
The secrecy on which so much was
insisted has not prevented the Brus-
sells and Paris newspapers of serious
thought from assuring their readers
that the replies will be found to be an
agreement in principle of leading
points; that there will be no negotia-
tions with Germany before abandon
ment of Germany's passive resistance;
that the evacuation of the Ruhr will be
subordinate to satisfactory payment by
Germany and settlement of the diff
ferences concerning the method of pay
ing reparations, which already has been
proposed by Belgium to the Allies.

Complete Work of
Repairing Boulevard
Inside of Six Weeks

For weeks, the repaving of Main
street in this city has been a daily
subject of interest to citizens and
transients alike. The problem of
carrying out the important project
with the least possible inconvenience
to all concerned was given consid-
cradle thought before the work was
started. The paving is now we'll
along the road to completion and the
minimum Of inconvenience has been
undergone.
Waterville residents will be inter-
ested to know of similar paving
project which has been underway.
The paving of the boulevard at Re-
we're Beach, Mass, a visiting place
for many Waterville people when
they are in Boston, brings to an end
one of the most remarkable feats
of engineering.
The Metropolitan Park Commits
sion of greater Boston, in charge
of the work, gave the contract to a
Boston contractor with the word that
it must be completed before Sept
/. The contractors, out of public
spirit, opened the boulevard yester-
day, after finishing the work in six
weeks, a third of the allotted time.
The work which was started June
Is and is now completed, breaks all
records in the Bay State road con-
struction field. The length of the
road under construction was 1 IL
miles. 1t covers $4,000 square yards.
Over 10000 tons of crushed stone
and 100000 tons of asphalt were
used. The old surface of the road
had to be completely removed and
regarded before the new surface was
put on, and bituminous layer eX-
tends from one curb to another.

and Raymond Thompson, q of Dam
Vile, the driver.
AT the time Of the tragedy the

tempting to make up about two
hours lost time due to the accident
near Highland, Ills.
The victims at Highland are: John
SEES. 40: Sera Denka, 80; Joe Leng-
yle, 50; John SEES, T., ii, all of High

The first engine was in charge of Engi-
neer Glenn Duffy and the second in
charge of o. A. Blake, both of Terre
Haute. The conductor was c. S. Horn
shu of indianapolis.
Every member of the crew was on
the point of nervous collapse when the
eath-dcaling train was finally brought
to Terre Haute.
Coroner Garrigus arrived at the scene
shortly after the accident occurred at
Liggett and after an investigation re-
ported the death were due to an "un-
avoidable accident"
The victims of the Liggett accident
had been visiting friends in Terre
Haute and were returning to Danville
when the car was struck. The car was
driven by Thomas, who it is believed
