the Communist leaders are against re-
ligion, and are doing what they can
to discourage It, the campaign has
been relaxed somewhat and the future
alone can tell whether religion, as gen.
orally understood, will be uprooted, or
retain a foothold, or take some new
expression.
There appeared to be good order
everywhere that Senator Barley went
with no more display by military or
police than other European countries
play than in some other European
countries.
People Undergo Hardships.
That the people are undergoing hard
ships which would crush most other
nations was not disputed. Yet, Senator
Barley recalled. hardships have been
the lot Of most Russians for centuries
and they accordingly stand up under
them better than Western peoples think
possible. II any effective opposition to
ley said 1t was not visible.
Owning one-sixth of the land area Of
the world and having about one-tenth
Of the population Of the world, Soviet
Russia is bound to be an important fac
tor whether the present or some new
form of government prevails, he con-
cludes, In view of the great and varied
resources of the nation.
If Soviet Russia continues to MAIN
tain the progress internally that he
noted, Senator Barley believes that the
United States will have to consider the
question of recognition.
Receives Many Impressions.
In this view, Senator Barley does
not assume that recognition of the So
Wet Government involved approval Of
communism, or of some aspects Of the
dictatorship now ruling the Russian
people, which he does not find compati-
BILE with American democratic ideals.
Senator Barley processes to having
received such q multitude of new i'm
pressions and startling ideas that he
wants time to digest them. The world,
he feels, will be powerfully affected by
the experiment In Russia, whether 1t
stands or falls. He makes no prophe-
sizes.
The first appearance Of Moscow and
Leningrad were disappointing because
OF the torn-up sire; Is, implanted houses
and other evidence Of devastation and
neglect, but looking closer he saw signs
in the torn-up streets Of new sewer
systems, new paving and other munich
pal improvements, which, If carried
through, will restore the reputation
these cities had of magnihcence, and
surpass the past glory. There was the
utmost hospitality and friendliness
among all classes toward the American
visitors, and there was no restriction
upon sightseeing or freedom Of move
nent either for himself, or tourists, that
Senator Barley could discern, aside
from the care every nation exercises as
to military secrets.
Senator Barley had IN hours talk
with President Hindenburg Of Germany
on his return from Russia, besides see
ing high officials in England, France,
Poland and other countries visited.

PARISH IN TENEMENTS
GRADUALLY DISSOLVING
Prominent Men Raise Money to
Save Church for Father Duffy,
Popular Priest.

NEW YORK CN.ANA.).-More old
tenements are being torn down across
from Holy Cross Church, whose pastor
Is Father Francis p. Duffy, war chap
lain Of the 165th Infantry Gold 69th)
and often spoken Of as the citys most
popular priest.
AS this West Forty-second street dis
trict grows commercial, Father Duffy's
parish dwindles, but, more precisely, It
dwindles as his people become prosper
GUS and move to more comfortable
homes on Long Island.
Some time ago q committee Of prom
inent men of all faiths was formed to
help save Father Duffy's church. Otto
H. Kahn appointed himself treasurer.
Funds were raised and the parish Is
solvent. but not exactly wealthy.
Among a thousand stories of conf
dence in Father Duffy is one concern
ing the Dempsey Tunney fight AS
Tunney, knocked groggy, lay there in
the ring not yet able to rise, an adher-
ent turned excitedly TO the priest and
cried:
pray, Father Duffy, damn it, pray"
Father Duffy's whimsical excuse for
declining was that 1t didn't seem fair
for an Irishman to have help In
fight.

ANNAPOLIS WATER
CRISIS IS DENIED
Care Urged on Consumers as
Reservoir Has Only Nine
Days Supply.
Special Dispatch 10 The star.


ANNAPOLIS, Nd, September g.
While alarmist reports Of imminent
famine are denied, oficials Of the An
napolis Water Co. are urging consumers
to be extremely careful In use Of the
supply.
The company has absolutely pro-
hibited the use of water to sprinkle
lawns. wash automobiles and other pur-
poses except those of absolute need.
A careful survey of actual conditions
at the station of the Annapolis Water
Co., miles from Annapolis, show that
in spite of extreme care taken by most
of the consumers q little more water
has been used daily than the plant has
been able to replenish in spite OF emery
ency measures.
voirs about nine million gallons OF wa
ter and at least q million gallons are
being used daily.
The sources are on regular stream.
feeding into the south basin and a
stream which has been utilized In the
emergency and from which the appa-
ratlls of the Annapolis Fire Department
is pumping into the reservoirs.
In spite of all that can be done, how
ever. the water is receding to some ex-
tent, but not so fast as to create any
with about nine days supply in the
reservoir and that amount dropping
but slightly in spite Of the hot, dry
weather. officials of the company and
consumers are hopeful that there VIII
be rain or at least cooler weather.
Even If there Is no rain, conditions
will improve of the temperature drops,
as consumption will drop, and 1t has
been found that the streams run in
greater volume while evaporation from
the reservoir is less.
Baltimore Aid Arranged.
In the meantime Naval Academy off,
cials have permitted Annapolians to
take water from the academy supply,
and will continue to do so even TO q
larger degree If necessary.
Through the ofi1ces Of Gov. Richie
an ARRANGEMENT also has been made to
bring water from Baltimore in tank
cars If necessary.
Former officials Of the water COM
pany are being criticized for permit
ting artesian wells, which formed .
reservoir supply, to become choked.
These If running as they did formerly
would save the situation now and pre-
vent any shortage.
The water company has approved q
to sink another well, guar
anteed to supply million gallons Of
good water q day, and the beginning
of the work depends on the action of
the City Council, which must approve
the proposition to make 1t effective.

TEACHER TRAINING
 AT TRADE SCHOOLS
Course to Be Conducted in New
 Britain Starting Dec. g

Classes for training men who tn turn may teach trades to boys and girls in Connecticut will open at the trade schools of New Britain, Hart ford, Bridgeport. Torrington, South Manchester. Willimantic, Middle town, Meriden, Stamford, Putnam and Danbury on December 9.
 The classes will be for the pur. pose of teaching men who have spent a period of years in satisfac- tory work at their trades 10 trans init that knowledge 10 others.
 The course, which is known as the industrial course number l teach ing the principals of vocational edu- cation, is a junior instructors course which means that it is open to men not at present employed as teach CTS but who have completed at least three years of satisfactory experi- eLce in their trade in addition to the customary full apprenticeship.
 The classes are free and are held i1 the evening. No class will be or ganiZed with less than 10 members The course is known as the ''pre- service" teacher training class, in that it teaches the men who have never been employed as instructors how to convey their knowledge to others.
 Among the requisites is the item that each applicant must have al least two years experience in the high school or it's equivalent.
 The state board of education takes the stand in these classes that ad- mission to the group is a privilege will be limited by the probable need for instructors in each of the vari- ous trades. The directors of the various trade schools are held re- sponsible for determining the num- her of men necessary to meet the probable needs in each trade and TOT selecting for admission those best qualified.
 While admission to the course IS based on the applicants probable ability to qualify for a trade school teachers certificate, the school does not guarantee to find a position for the applicant, nor does it ask that applicants agree to enter the employ of the state if they secure the Cer- tificatc. 1t is pointed out that men may also qualify as apprentice train- Ing foremen in factories or allied trades.
 The classes will include men from a number of different trades, with a probability of not more than three or four from each trade.
