RELIGION IN RUSSIA
CATHOLIC CLERGY THREATENED ORDERED TO SIGN DECLARATION. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, April 16. The Berlin correspondent of the ‘ Daily Mail ’ states that the Bolshevists have ordered the Roman Catholic clergy to sign an impossible declaration pledging them to accept the Soviet’s anti-religions legislation, including the prohibition of teaching religion to children under sixteen, refusing obedience to the bishops, and abstaining from relations with the Pope except through Soviet priests. Failing to sign, they will be transported to the dreaded Solovtz Island, in the White Sea. — Australian Press Association.
