cident helped.
The war between the children and
the nuns became more and more
turbulent. Collisions with the nuns
were the brightest events in the ted
ious procession of days. They gave
zest to the life in that idle and
well-fed confinement. And t h e n
there came fifty more children from
the prison. 1t became necessary to
transfer the nuns to some other
place. A large, two-story house was
vacated for them across the river,
on the outskirts of the town. They
were invited to leave. The nuns
submitted obediently to the decision
of the authorities. They only beg
ged to be accorded the use of the
convent church. But secretly, each of
them unburdened her sorrow.

On some days there were two or

look, muzhiks and peasant women
made their way to the convent gate.
They spoke beggingly and ingratiat-
ingly to the sentinel, and dived into
the little gateway. In the yard they
were met by the manifestations of
a new and strange activity. The
words "comrade," "Dyetdom," ''law-
breakers" rang in the air. The old
established convent life was hiding
timidly in the depths. Passing by
the merry-voiced children and the
silent ones with questioning eyes,
they proceeded to the little houses in
the background. There they were
met by the images of the saints and
by high-pitched meek voices. 1t was
to them, the bearers of secret gifts,
that the nuns unburdened their
hearts. The Mother Superior signed

was bemoaning her misfortune,

feminine oaths, shrill and incoher-

RAISE OWN power
Uses Former Premier
as Mouthpiece

WARSAW, April 11.-Speaking
through the mouth Of former Pre-
mier Casimir Bartel, who recently
resigned, Marshal Pilsudski today
made his first onslaught on the Pol
ish Sejm (diet) in what is believed
to be part of careful campaign to
dissolve the legislature.
The sejm recently incurred the
displeasure of Pilsudski by its i'm
parchment of Gabriel Czechowicz,
minister of finance, and by its at
tempt over a considerable period of
time to GUST the dictator or to trim
his powers.
Bartels article is understood to
forerun the dissolution of the sejm
and the proclamation of a new con-
stitution, giving Pilsudski still wider
powers as dictator.
Charging that the action of the
deputies in impeaching Czechowicz
has brought general "discredit on
parliamentary government" Bartel
declares that the majority of depu-
ties are incompetent" and dispute
the competence of eminent special
lists in questions of which they
themselves are ignorant"
"The leading figures in the ma
ton have lost their patience and be-
liava If Is essential to annly n more
energetic system of government"
Bartel asserts, adding that, because
he himself was unwilling to support
such a system, he resigned.

Black shadows came out of their
crannies, gliding softly, as if swim
ming, and moved toward the church.
The church stood in a corner of the
yard and its main entrance faced
the street. The nuns walked, young
and old, but they all moved as if
they were not alive. Not as they
went about during the day, in the
yard or in tn bakery. Then they
resembled living women; they quar-
relied with the kids and scolded.
And the kids leased them. They
spat into the well, and once they
opened the door of the church and
shouted:
'Lenin, Sovnarcom!"
The nuns complained to the

sumption of negotiations for

after the conversation In Rome be-
tween Sir Austen Chamberlain,
British foreign minister, and Mus
solini, indicates that Great Britain
is again working to unite the Euro

Coming at time when rumors of

tween the United States and the
British governments are rife, Eu-
ropean agreement against the for

Fake Disarmament.
1t is being suggested that the
meeting Monday of the Preparatory
Disarmament Conference Of the
League of Nations may afford the
two governments the opportunity to
stage another vain dispute over linz
itation to 6,000-ton cruisers with
6-inch guns, which are valuable for
defense Of the far-flung British pos
sessions, or to 10,000-ton cruisers of
the type which the Americans want.
No real limitation at all is wanted
by either power, of course, though
each would like to trick the other in
bargain on construction.
The improbability of any agree
ment between the two powers on a
construction action has been aggra-
waited by the American 15-cruiser
bill, the "I'm Alone" incident and a
number of other complications.
