Greatly devoted to religion, the
Russians have 80 Orthodox
churches in the Paris area, and
a cathedral and theological school
as well. There is even a Russian
cemetery, st. G~enevieve of the
Wood, handicapped in Russian
style and sometimes called St.
Genevieve of the Steppes.
Paris now has no Russian quar-
ter, although at one time the
prosperous Passay residential dis
trict was sometimes called the
Russian village" Many of the
emigres have moved 10 more
modest districts, and their favored
streets, food shops and restau-
rants can be found on the left
bank, additionally the poor ar
fists and students quarter.
There were both collaboration
lists and active ~resisters to the
Germans among the Russian col
ony in France, as there have al
ways been pro and anti-Soviet
groups among its members.
Enthusiasm for the accomplish
ments of the Red Army a so
high just after We Day that
probably an overwhelming ma
jority of the emigres-many of
whom were officers or close rela-
tives of officers in the imperial
army-would have been eager to
return to Russia then. But it was
not until a year later that Mos
COW offered Soviet passports to
the Russians in France. About
1900 accepted, and 1900 have
sailed for Odessa.
The Russian colony in France is
now increasing slowly by the ar
rival of displaced persons in Ger
many. These are Russian citizens
who, as volunteers Or by force,
found themselves in German-oc-
cupied territory at the end of the
wal and who either fear punish
ment if they return home, or
simply would like to see if the
rest of the world is as Soviet pro-
paganda paints it.

Housing Jhortage Is Blamed by This UniaithfuI Spouse

ELIZABETH, N. J., Aug. 17.--sR- The old adage that "two's company, three's a crowd" especially in bed popped up in chancery court pe- tition yesterday.
 Mrs. Lorraine K. Kopp charged that she had discovered her hus- band, Karl, making love to a wo- man they shared their bed during the housing shortage in California.
 The incident, she charged. took place not too long after their mar riage in 1914
 My plan," she explained, was that the young lady should occupy a cot in the bedroom while the de- fendant and slept in the bed
 This did not suit her husband, she charged. His idea, she contin- ued, was that the three of us could share the bed--the defendant sleep ing at one end and the young lady at the other and myself in the cen- ter.'
 Mrs. Kopp explained that she ob- jected to this plan but agreed to it at her husbands insistence in order ito keep harmony
 Advisory Master Nicholas Toma- sulo directed Kopp to show cause why he shouldn't support his wife and three-year-old daughter.
