Seven hundred visitors arrived at
the Saint Bernard monastery, in '
Switzerland, in a single day recent-;
ly, most of them in costly moter
cars or hired taxicabs, and asked
the charitable monks for refresh
ment, says a correspondent of The'
Associated Press, writing from that
c ountry. Among the visitors there'
were many Americans and English -:
men.
It has been the custom of the1
monks for many centuries never to |
demand payment for hospitality, the ,
departing guests depositing in a j
collection box at the entrance of j
the monastery, whatever amount1
they desired as a voluntary offering, i
The monks received the 700 visit
ors, to whom they supplied a warm \
supper, including wine, while some
of them elected to remain there
for the night and were provided
with beds.
The guests having departed the
following morning, the treasurer
monk opened the collection box at
the gate. He found just 15 francs
in it.

_
British papers are printing al
most daily examples of what they
term the waste of public funds. A
report just issued by the Committee j
of Public Accounts sheds fresh light;
on the subject. Nearly $8,500,000 j
was involved, it appears, in the j
government's plan to finance the j
Russian general. Alexieff, just be-!
fore the Bolshevik revolution brot j
about his collapse. Part of the plan j
was to set up a Cossack State bank j
in Siberia, and for that purpose I
$2,500,000 was loaned to a Russian ‘
financier. But the bank was never •
set up and the committee wants i
to know what became of the money. :
The Ministry of Munitions paid i
$12,250,000 for a plant begun in j
1817 and which, when the war end- j
sd, was only half finished. For this |
autlay, the committee points out,
the country received no benefit at j
all except through the “stimulous I
to the steel trade.”
Waste of nearly $500,000 is
charged by the committee to the
Admiralty on a scheme for estab
lishing schools to train boys in the ’
work, of pneumtic riviting.
Cases are referred to by the com- j
mittee where government officers!
holding responsible positions allot
ted contracts either to themselves !
or to firms in which they were in
terested. Such cases, the committee :
asserts, “are especially liable to be- j
come an occasion for scandals.”
