MOSCOW, March 23.-Archbishop
Zepliak has been released from prison
after serving a year of his 10-year
sentence for conspiracy against the
government.
Zepliak originally was sentenced to
death after conviction on charges of
opposing seizure Of church property
and conspiring with the enemy during
the Polish offensive. Later his SEN
tence was committed to 10 years in
prison.
The archbishop win be expelled
from Russia.
simultaneously it was announced
the case against Patriarch Tikhon
and his co-defendants, accused on the
same charges for which Zepliak was
sentenced, has been dropped COM
pletely.
Action of the government is at
tributed to the fact that "the popula-

about religion and is turning more to
the study Of science"

PO|NCARE PLACES
WAR BURDENS ON
POOR OF FRANCE
Only Property of Rich
Reconstructed

PARIS, March 24.--The opposition
to President Poincare has had ire
mendously powerful weapon placed in
its hands by the governments decision
to discontinue work in the devastated
regions and to reject the damage
claims of thousands of small home
owners.
Leon Eseoffier, a deputy from one
of the devastated areas, is quoted by
papers here as authority for the
statement that the government has re-
fused to allow small claims totalling
25,000,000 francs; that the minister
of finance has vetoed the measure
proposing a loan for reconstruction
purposes Of 150,000,000 franc to the
department du Nord and that many
crews of workers now engaged in re-
construction work are to be dis
charged.
All further claims for damages to
personal property are to be paid not
in cash, but in ten-year notes and all
credit loans with the exception of
100000 francs, will be cancelled.
The properties-factories, etc.-of
the wealthy have either been restored
or the owners compensated and the
burden now falls exclusively on the
workers and peasants who can least
afford to sustain the losses. The Po-
incare government policy has thus re-
suited in saddling the physical dam
age of the war upon the poorest sec
ton Of the populace and no talk of
the victory in the Ruhr can prevent
this fact being known by the victims.
Even the recovery Of the franc fol-
lowing the loan from the Morgan in
terests has not served to quelI the
dissatisfaction with the government

BRITISH LOSE
TWO DEAD IN
IRISH SKIRMISH
Free State Government
Fears Complications


DUBLIN, Ireland, March 23-The
killing of two British soldiers on a
Queenstown pier and the wounding
of a score Of others by party of men
in Free State uniforms has created q
sensation in Ireland. The attackers
driving a fast motor car, used a ma
chine gun which caused havoc among
the British troops massed on the pier.
The Cosgrave government boasted
recently that there was not a British
soldier within 20 miles Of any of the
twenty-six counties included in the
Free State.
President Cosgrave Immediately
sent apologies to Ramsay Macdonald
and promised to bring the responsible
parties to Justice. The Free State
military headquarters in Cork City is
sued statement declaring the shoot
ing was done by the anti-treaty forces,
who it is charged, have resumed CURE
lila warfare following the mutiny in
the Free State army.
All the capitalist papers denounce
the incident as an outrage and called
upon the government to adopt what
ever drastic measures may be deemed
necessary.
Cosgrsve's message to Macdonald
reads: 81 am profoundly shocked to
hear that British troops have been
fred on in Irish territory, and |
hasten to assure you that this coward
ly crime will arouse the same horror
and detestation turnout Ireland that
it caused myself and my colleagues"
The attacking party also fired sew
eral shots at British cruiser which
was in the harbor.

Compensation LdlO
Fought Bitterly BY
Quebec Employers

MONTREAL, March 23. Quebec
employers are fighting vigorously
against the reforms in the Quebec
workmen's compensation law which
are being advocated by organized la
Dor. A striking evidence Of this an
tagonism has been given by the re-
pudiation by Representative Lowe Of
the Quebec section, Canadian Manu-
facturers' Association, Of the findings
of the interprovincial conferSice Of
1921, which has been the basis Of re-
cent reforms along this line.
The opposition Of the employers TO
labor's proposals is being backed up
by the lawyers Of the province and
by insurance companies.

A PROFITABLE cow

A Guernsey cow, city by
law and complaining neighbor
made 100000 for a resident Of
a Canadian town. Said resident
had two Guernseys. They were
great pets and good mixers. lie
kept them in a model stable, but
a neighbor complained. The law
permitted keeping one COW with
in 40 feet of a house and two
cows rs feet from a house. The
Guernsey owners stable was 65
feet from a house, so rather than
part with either of his pets he
bought an additional 75-foot lot
and house, paying for them &c.
500 This real estate purchase
was 20 years ago. Recently an
institution wanted to enlarge ats
quarters, so bought the house
and lot, originally purchased to
keep an extra Guernsey, for
$206, 500. The lover Of cows now
has six such pets, but they are
on a farm, not on the property
he just sold, which is now the
heart of metropoiis.-Wall

Personal

This newspaper. while being
privately owned, is the proper
ty Of the public it seeks to serve,
insofar as its news and advertis-
ing columns are concerned.
Because this newspaper is
public property, though private
ly owned, it is the privilege Of
any citizen, any reader at any
time to criticize it-favorably
or unfavorably.
When unfair or unfavorable
criticism is expressed it does
not wound or depress its pub
Usher; nor is it necessary always
to reply to such criticism.
A newspaper that must be
defensIed-that cannot stand
bit of criticism occasionally -
does not deserve to prosper or
live.
The editorial columns alone
are retained. They cannot be
bought; they are never loaned.
In them is expressed daily the
opinions, the conclusions or the
desires of one mantle owner
and editor.
And that's that.

Success Requires
Specialization

The luxuries of today are the
necessities Of tomorrow. This is
realized when a disaster, such as
a flood temporarily cuts off cleo
trio lights, street cars, gas, piped
water and phone service.
Many now living can recall
when these services were curl.
osities of the laboratory. AS
they came gradually into use,
they could be afforded only by
the wealthy. Now they are
within reach of nearly every
body. They are necessities to-
day, formerly Injuries.
The same situation exists as
regards services performed by
individuals and organizations, or
by machinery that does work
formerly handled by people.
So it goes, all through daily
life. We merely pick up the
phone and prestoI an organiza-
ton of specialists is at our dis
posal to perform tasks that seri-
ously Inconvenience our an
cestors who had to do the work
themselves. ~
The iack-of-all-trades used to
be an important individual, To-
day the specialist rules. Every
thing is specialization. Lies
tasks have been scientifically di-
vided. Eeach individual has
some one specially instead of ev-
cry one trying to be his own
specialist in scores of different
situations that develop.
Success requires specialization
increasingly so as the years
slip by. Obviously youth must
select his career-the line of
work he wants to follow-with
greater care than in the old
days. Formerly only the pro-
LESSONS specialized. Now every
one does-or should.
A fine system, yes. 1t does,
though. make life mechanical
and dull.

He refused point blank to ex-
press his views on the X. X. K.

vote for him this fall. If the
president has not the courage to
express himself on the khan, he
cannot blame the negro for
thinking that silence gives con-

gubernatorial candidate in the
State of Indiana IS an avowed
klansman, by his silence. he en-
