Holy Week in Paris Knights of C^himhns Hold Cele Bration hi Noble Dame Ca thedral Paris,-April 15 By Mail)?Seven thousand American soldiers attended the services of Holy Week celebra tion m Notre Dame Cathedral today by invitation of the Knights of Co lumbus and joined in paying hom.^j to "the, memorials of the Saviour?th? crown of thorns, part of the cross of calvary and the "Nail of Passion." They came from every part of the American Expeditionary Force in France and Germany. They included Catholic and non-Catholic chaplains, military men of every rank. Promi nent Catholics of France knelt with American soldiers. j Long before three o'clock when the j service of veneration began. Notre I Dame was crowded to the doors. Many had their first glimpse of this renowned sanctuary, whose walls, arches and stately carved columns have witnessed the historic scenes of centuries. French people, nearly all wearing mourning, stood in the aisles. The colors of our country unfurled be- j tween flags of the Allies were above [ \ the altar where a shaft of vari-col- j bred light from a rose-stained window j felLupon them. ?"The miserere" was chanted by the i choir of St. Gervais and the sermon ; was delivered by L'Abbe Flynn, Che valier of the Legion of Honor. ."Amen" at the close of the sermon, was echoing throughout the church, j when the Cardinal Amette was seen standing in his throne. With face ani- j mated, he extended greeting to the assembled American soldiers whom he characterized as the "Saviours of Democracy"?for their part in the final victory of the allies against the domination of Prussianism in Europe. After this greeting Cardinal Amette bestowed His blessing. With the procession of sacred rel ics which followed, came the great climax of the day's ceremonials. Af ter the veneration of the relics the treasury of Notre Dame was opened and thousands of soldiers were per mitted to view the wonderful collec tion of historic jewels, vestments and antiquities presented by kings, popes and monarchs and jewei casements given at different times by nations as repositories for the relics. They saw the Missile of the Mass used in the marriage ceremony of Na .poleon the Third. The magnificent - casement to carry the crown paid tor by "the women of Paris and designed by Violet Le Due was shown to the Americans. The collection " includes the chalice used to administer. Holy Communion to Marie Antoinette and Louis the Sixteenth, the morning of their execution in 171? 3 and the great collection of camoes, bearing the por traits of popes to the time of Leo the Thirteenth. y Following this view, the soldiers passed to the rear of the cathedral, and marched about the structure to study its beauties. Prophet in Chains Treatment Accorded Statue of Kaiser Metz, France. April 20?In the porch of Metz cathedral stands a statue of Daniel the Prophet, to which a sculptor had given a marked facial likeness to former Emperor Wil liam. When the French took posses sion of the city: they put a pair of handcuffs on the Emperor-prophet's wrists, from which hung a placard in scribed "Sic transit gloria mundi." Now the statue is to be taken away altogether and a new one substituted by a local artist. A fund for this pur pose has been opened here. OUR AMERICAN NEIGHBOR NA TIONS. The Importance of Cultivating Closer Relations. Washington, May 23.?That peace will be laregly strengthened on the Western hemisphere by an extensive interchange of thought among the peoples of the various countries was the burden of a statement by Acting Secretary- of State Frank L. Polk to day in urging that the newspapers of the United States devote more atten tion to news of the Latin American countries. Mr. Polk said he hoped the American newspapers would take this means of educating the people of the United States to better under-! standing and appreciate the import ance and greatness of our neighbors of South and Central America and point-1 ed out that by lending their aid to the furtherance of this education the newspapers would be fulfilling a pub lic duty to the government. "The more we know of the other i -countries of North and South Anieri-! ca," said Mr. Polk today, "the less | likelihood there is of misunderstand ings. The nations of the world arc becoming more and innre interdepend ent daily with the increased efficiency of transportation and communication facilities. Exchange of news results inevitably in better relations and a fuller comprehension of the effort that are being made by the different countries to solve the problems of civ ilization. Improved commercial rela ? tions are accompanied by better cul tural relations. "One result of the European War has been to show the United States how completely our interests lie in this hemisphere. With peace re stored our interest in European af fairs will he more theoretical than real 'out we have and must have closer relations with our neighbors in Cen tral and South America. The people of Latin America are intensely inter ested in the United States. The newspapers of Central and South America print a great deal of news about this country. It would be of in calculable benefit if the newspapers of the United States would pay more attention to news regard ing Latin America and in a very ?h?rt time these newspapers could educate the public to seek further in formation and more news about our neighbors to the South." IA Remarkable Operation i" _ |Red Cross Nurse Performs Am putation With Razor Drama, Macedonia. April 10 (By Mail)?With a razor, a spool of cot ;ton thread, and a small portion of : ether and choloroforni Miss Maria P. Kouroyen. an American Red Cross j nurse performed a lifc-or-death bp j eration here as the result of which and her other errands of mercy she has come to be known as "the Ameri can angel" by the homeless and star ving Greek refugees. Born of Greek parents. Miss Kouro yen is a graduate nurse of the Massa chusetts General Hospital in Boston. Because of her knowledge of Greek the American Red Cross sent her to Macedonia, where typhus, small pox and cholera tread on each other's! heels and where the refugees bury j their dead beneath the dirt floors of! their shell-shattered shacks so that 1 the bread cards of the dead member j of the family shall not be taken up. J A Greek soldier one of whose legs i had been crushed was brought to the j box car on a railroad siding in which j Miss Kouroyen was living. Something had to be done for him at once. Miss Kouroyen sp it no time ini talking. Borrowing a. razor from ! Lieutenat Abner J. Cobb, of Denver, j Col., an American Red Cross held j worker who was shaving by candle-1 light in the box car. Miss Kouroyen j anaesthetized her patient with her j small -supply of ether and choloro- j form, and performed an amputation! using" cotton thread to "tie off" the arteries and veins. Despite the prophecy of a local doctor that the aged patient would not live through the night Miss Kou royen sometime later received a visit from her patient. He had an Ameri can artificial limb made for him inj the American Red Cross artificial j factory for Greek war mutiles in J Athens. From Northern Russia; Note?Some of the unusual inci-! dents that have marked the Allied campaign against "the Bolsheviks in Northern Russia are related in the subjoined lejtter from The Associated Press correspondent who has "cov-! ered" the fighting in these near Ar tie regions from the beginning: Anarchangel, March 28, (Corres pondence of The Associated Press; ? It was largely due to the "bluff" of a young Russian naval officer in com mand of one of the little Allied steam ers on the Dvina River that the origi nal Allied expedition up that river from Archangel was not wiped out ( by the Bolsheviki in the early phases j of the Northern Russia campaign. The Dvina. expedition, 1 33 strong 1 went poking its way nonchantly up the broad river aboard 2 or 3 funny looking river steamers, on which . field pieces and machine guns had been mounted. The Bolsh '^iki had taken the best boats, Mississipi type of paddle wheelers, with them in their, flight. The famous 133 reached Beresniki, nearly -200 miles south of Anchau-j gel at the junction of the Vaga riv?-r j with Dvina, without firing a shot. One night, all of a sudden, three or four Bolshevik side-wheelers mount ing big guns came around a bend in { the river and started trouble. When we fired our cannon, they fell through the thin decks into the staterooms of our steamers. A young Russian naval officer, in command of one of our litle ships with his own gun out of action, stood pat. with the useless muzzle turned toward the biggest of the enemy's ships, and barred the channel whib our other ships retreated. Then our river expedition got the glad news that a British monitor sent all the way from the Belgian coast, was on the way to help them. The monitor crawled along the sand bars and got to Beresniki. The colonel in command of the river land forces told me about it, a few weeks later, when I went up to his sector j of the front. It was something of a | tragedy this first episode of the mon- ! itor, but the colonel couldn't help i laughing about it. "The monitor steamed up." the col- j onel said, "and its captain was row- } ed over to my headquarters ship. The navy was on the job and so. naturally, all was over. He didn't want to stop ? a minute. "Where, he shouted, is the ene my fleet and which is the way to ? Kotlass'. "And then the monitor chugged off in the direction of the Bolshevik ! shij> around the bend in the river, if | didn't find the enemy fe-'-t. and if j certainly was a long way from Kot- '? lass, when a Bolshevik land battery j masked in the woods on thr river! bank, dropped a big shell into th< j monitor, putting it out of commission i and sending it back to Beresniki." j It was in this episode of the moni tor that a y<?ung British naval offi eer surgeon performed one <?f the feats of bravery and self-denial that are continually taking place in this war. With one eye shot out and with ; blood nearly blinding the other this' young surgeon calmly and success-] fully attended to tie- monitor's wound ed until he fell exhausted. On the river our forces had reach ed Beresniki, on the railroad a little command of French had battled Px way nearly one hundred miles to Oboserskya, and. in the swampy tun dra between the railroad and the i river another party, including some I of tho American sailors, was lost in the mud. when reinforcements, in the I shape of three transports loaded with I American infantrymen and engineers steamed into Archangel hr.rbor. j Magistrate % J. A. Hodge, of Priv.i ! teer, has received tbe Distinguished j Service Cross awarded posthumously j to his grandson. George Sims, for dis tinguished bravery in Prance. The j cross has been placed in tbe custody of Cashier W. .1. Crowson. Jr., at the National Bank of Suroter, and those who may wish to see it may do so Irs ,, calling, at the bank. Claiming Works of Art Italy and Austria Contending For Possession of Art Treasures Vienna. April 21 (Correspondence of The Associated Press)?The Vien na Press is making violent protests against the Italian claims for works of art. declaring that the Italinns are introducing old Napoleonic methods of robbing galleries. Professor Paolo d* Ancona of Milan, who is at the head of the Italian An Mission, fold the correspondnt of The Associated Press that the whole mat ter had been laid before the Peace Conference for decision and that the Italians so far are only placing the works of art under sequestration, so (hat they may be protected in case of Bolshevik attempts to destroy, steal or resell them as happened with the Hermitage Gallery, at Petrograd. The Italians feared this might be the fate of the Budapest Gallery contain ing such priceless works as Raphael's Madonna. Professor d' Ancona stated that the Italian claims fall under; three heads: Firs*-, idemnities for art works, valued at SIO.OOO.OOO destroyed by the Aus trians in Italy during the war, includ ing the air raids at Venice. Ancona, Padua.. Ravenna and other points: sec ond, works which have been stolen from Itay in the past; third, works which logically belong to territory now occupied by Italy or about to be come her property. including Pola, I Lissa Island and Fiume. There are also provisional claims; for Italy's share which belong to her historically in case the museums o Vienna and Budapest should be di vided among the nations of the form er empire, the Czechs having already submitted a similar claim. j Professor d' Ancona said that' among the works of art restitution"of which is demanded by Italy are 18 paintings, of which only one is riot i Ttaliah, the exception being the larger of two portraits of Rembrandt. These j eighteen works have been valued at! about $5.000,000. ' Other notable.1 works claimed are Raphael's "Ma-j donna del Prato." "Jupiter and Io." by j Coreggio: live other Correggios of the ; twenty that are in the Austrian Im perial Museum: Titan's "Madonna Delle Cilecge:" Morettis "San Cos- j tina:" and two Tintoretl.s, one being "Susanna and the Elders." Among second-class works alloc:-d j to have been stolen from Italy and included in the Hof Museum collection is the famous Florentine Diamond which Italians claim as part of the! treasures of Tusca ny carried off by j Princess Anna Maria of Medici, con-1 trary to agreement when nearly two centuries ago she renounced the Tus can throne in order to become Em press of Austria. There is also a col-1 lection of Venetian arms and manu- \ scripts and Jlalian War trophies' which the. Italians claim have been j stolen at various times but which Aus- j tria has always refused to restore. Regarding the 150 paintings which the Italians took in February, it Is stated that the Austrians have ad mitted the justice of Italy's claims to| them as these works were alleged to j have been stolen by Austria after the downfall of Napoleon. SEEING PARIS SIGHTS. - Some Comments of American Boys as TJhey Look Around. Paris. April 20 (By Mail)?Standing1 amid the glories of the royal past of; France, in the park at Versailles, an American doughboy burst into this apostrophe: "Say. pal. where do you get eats around these diggings?"

One of them emerged from the In valides and grew almost poetic about the yellow light coming through Un stained glass windows above Napol eon's casket. Then he caught him self, and almost blushed.

In order to be admitted to either the hospital proper or to the out-pa tient clinic a person must be suffering from ah undoubted attack of pella gra, that is. they must show definitely the characteristic skin eruption. They must also be free from complicating diseases: It is to be clearly under stood that pellagra cannot bo satis factorily treated when ' other disease processses are present, but for the reason that those patients whose ma jor troubles are due to some other disease or diseases arc not satisfac tory subjects in which to observe the effects of pellagra, treatment.

April 15 (Correspondence of the Associated Press)?What is char acterized as one of the most vital steps towards the speedy reconstruc tion of war-torn Europe is being tak en this week in the .inauguration of [the through, trans-constinental train I service between Paris. Belgrade and 'Bucharest via Pontarlier, Milan, Triest, Agram and Vinkovce; This Ii:;*- would underany ordinary circum | stances be a great boon to the trav- \ \ eler ami to the ousiness man, but \ now. on the <-ve of the signing of j pear-o, ii assumes an incalculable isn j pdrtance to the welfare of many I countries. ; The allied capitals will now be link i ed up. once more by a rapid service i which will permit of easy communi j cations. The slow sea route can be (abandoned for the numerous govern mental missions which will play a [great part in the reconstruction. In j numerous other ways the new line will I facilitate the process of rebuilding the ; 'fortunes of the allies. That th?s railway avoids Germany' j and undoubtedly will take away much of the trade of the German railways . I finds no adverse criticism in Paris. The French are quite content to see l the railways of their late enemies lie [dormant for a time. Whether the new Iallied line will ultimately become the great trade artery for the continent, replacing the German lines between the North Sea ports and the East, is la matter of much discussion. There {are arguments on both sides of the (Question. Certainly its immediate ef fect is expected .to be to lessen th^e'r? }German prospects. Whether there is j any sentiment in trade, which will i influence future developments, re-:; -; mains to be seen. The new service will provide through trains de luxe between Par j is and Belgrade three times -each j week, according to present plans. One (train a week will go through to Buch I arcst. Thus with a good train , se.r i vice between Paris and the English"j;': j Channel ports, England will again be . j brought into close touch with her ' I eastern Allies. ? ...

Even now j it is necessary to make a wide detour ! to get to Bucharest from Belgrade: ; While the transcontinental train ser ' vice will be important for relief ! work and for traders who wish to 'visit the East to reestablish commer | cial relations, it is believed that the [steamship traffic will not "be mater--., i raliy affected by the innovation.
