The Riga correspondent of ‘The Times’ says: “Russia has decided to celebrate Christmas by the propagation of Atheism. The Soviet authorities have instructed allbranches of the League of Communist Youth to limit the Christmas festivities to scientific and Atheistic propaganda, to avoid open-air masquerades, and to confine their efforts to ii stilling into the minds of the working youths a materialistic outlook. Tho trade union organisations have been ordered to airang-e and finance the festivities, to which they must attract as many youths and maidens and children as possible. The Georgian Soviet Government has abolished tho Christmas vacations in tho schools, and has substituted other dates coinciding with the Bolshevik revolutionary festivals.—‘Tho Times.'
