Cable Assa. BOLSHEVIKS AND THE VATICAN. Rome, April 2. • The Observatore Romano publishes correspondence between the Vatican and the Russian Bolshevist Government, following upon the appeal of the Archbishop of Omsk to the Pope regarding Bolshevist outrages, including the murder of twenty bishops and hundreds of priests. The murders were accompanied by the cutting off of their legs, and some were flayed alive. Tchitcherin callously replied to the Pope's protest, and accused the clergy of hoarding food while the people were starving. It is the first occasion on which the Orthodox Russian Church hftß appealed direct to the Pope, and this will probably facilitate reunion between the churches.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn
