t lads a well is the cowboy the moun-
' talneer and the sailor. Much ot his
literature Is oral but one hobo or
i ganlxatlon has published a paper
' bound anthology of verse and another
' issues a magazine.
I "'Much hobo verse lacks poetic qual-
: Ity because the author is trying to

' said Nels Anderson who Is making
1 a stud' of. migratory men under the
auBplces of Chicago . philanthropic
agencies. "In some on the other
hand there is genuine feeling. The
tjwork ot the lato Bill Quirke Is particu-
larly meritorious."
; The paper-bound anthology bears on
the' cover some discriminating defi-
nitions: "A hobo is a migratory
workor. A tramp is a migratory non-
- worker. A bum Is a stationary non-
worker."
The migratory worker" said Mr.
nderson "Is essential to Industry.
Sheep shearing and salmon fishing
being seasonal tasks can only be per-
formed by wanderers. Occupational
' diseases send Tnen from one Kind of
v work to another. Other men" wander
. because they lack the backbone to
- stay at one job because they are
queer and fall to fit into their original
environment or because they have
lost out In the straggle of life."
- ' One of Bill Qulrke's efforts contains
". these lines:
Have you rotted wet in a grading
camp
Or scorched In a desert line?
Or done your night stunt with your
lamp.
. Watching the timbers drip with
damp
: And hearing the oil rig whine?
I do no kicking at God or fate
I keep my shoes for the road
. The long gray road and I love It
mate
Hay-foot straw-foot that's my
And I carry no other man's load.
t Grim humor characterizes- "A Story
of the Jungles." It relates the boast-
ing of a genial liar who was supposed
to be cooking "Mulligan stew" for his
comrades at a hobo camp:
Now Checkers he was a good fellow
"As far as good fellowship goes.
But he will never again be a hero.
Or kill any more of his foes.
' i He is sleeping at peace In the valley
' O'er his head grow the laurel anil

GREAT RUSSIAN
ORTHODOX CHURCH
GONE TO PIECES
Y . .
Split Results From Requi-
sition of Treasures Dur-
ing Famine
Associated Press Report.
MOSCOW. The great Russian
Orthodox church which for centuries
was probably the most important so-
cial factor and one of the most Im-
portant politically In Russian life
seems to hnv gone to pieces Itself
rather than to have had' any effect
upon the boUrhevik gevernment in Its
first direct conflict with the soviet
regime. -
Vrliatever may have been the under-
lying purpose of the communist gov-
ernment in directing the requisition of
church treasures for relief of the
famine sufferers the requisition itself
has succeeded In splitting the church.
Scores of priests are under arrest and
revolutionary tribunals throughout the
country are trying them for counter-
rcvqlution or theft and secretion of
chuK-h valuables without any partic-
ular resentment on the part ot the
parishoncrs. Patriarch Tikon the
head ot the church abdicated when
faced with trial by the civil conrts
on the charge of opposing the requisi-
tion. One of the men he suggested as
liis possibls successor the Metropoli-
tan Benjamin ot Petrograd. is also to
be put on trial and In the meantime
the control of church affairs has been
turned over to a group known pop-
ularly as the "red clergy."
This group pledged to simplify the
church services and to work in har-
mony with the bolshevik government
already has taken over a number ft
churches. It is headed by Bishop An-
ton In of Moscow who early In the con-
flict that developed over the requisi-
tion of treasures volunteered to assist
the soviet government. Now Antonln
la planning to secure close co-operation
between church and state by ap-
pointment in the Russian cabinet of
a commissar for church affairs.
Tho actual vtilue of church treasures
of Russia probably was several hun-
dred million dollars but the requisi-
tioned obtained but a small propor-
tion of this amount. They secured tons
of silver much gold and thousands of
precious stones but for every dia-
mond . studded mitre the requisition-
ers found one or two similar articles
listed as stolen or missing. For the
theft of these and for open agitation
against requisition there Is scarcely a
province in Russia where churchmen
have not been arrested. In addition to
the eight priests one woman and two
laymen sentenced to death at Moscow.
and the four sentenced at Bhuya other
death sentences are being Imposed.
Except at Bhuya however none Jias
been carried out. and It Is generally
believed In Moscow that moat of those
convicted will bo pardoned or receive
reduced leniences. General Brusalloff.

against Germany and-Austria hat In-
terceded for his daughter-in-law Mrs.
Barbara Ivanova Brusalloff the woman

trial. '
Old residents ot Moscow hava told
the correspondent that tri arrests of
the clergy were not resented because
Kussians ordinarily had very little re-
spec for the priests. They were de-
vout In their church worship but re.

The Infinite tenderness of a mother's

therefore all facilities for advancing
thia consumption must be removed or
reduced.
"I hope by intensifying our propa

you at our disposal we shall succeed
In utilizing this favorable feeling and
shall pave the way for a comprehen

do the first steps towards that goal.

at our disposal will start work and
I think I shall be able shortly to re
port on the effect snd success ot our
activity In Austria.
