Declares Count Ivan Tolstoy, May- or oR Petrograd. , Count Ivan Tolstoy invited me to his home in Petrograd with all the courtesy of the true Russian aristo- erat, writes Woclaw Czernidwski in London Graphic. I arrived at his house on the very day when posters bearing the' words "Petrograd for Poland" were being displayed all over the City of Peter the Great. It was natural, therefore, that our conversation should turn chiefly upon Russia'a new and great move- ment" Count Tolstoy spoke with the combined authority of a repre- sentative of the Russian nation, of a member of the oldest aristocracy, and of a Mayor of Russia's capital. His opinioue were firm and clear. "The manifesto of the comman- der-in-chief is of the greatest im- portance," said - he. "It is a wise political step. It is my desire to impress British public opinion with the fact that the whole Russian na- tion heartily appreciate this mea- sure. The promise given by the Grand Duke will be fulfilled, and of this there can be no possible doubt; such, also, is the desire of our na- tion and of our Tsar.

It is true that the Russian bureaucracy was under German influence for many a long day. The Germans gained the highest Government positions, they are still very powerful at Court, and they created a party of their own. They oppose us Real Russians. I _m_ do not believe in, their patriotism for one moment, but no doubt they are loyal to the dynastyand to the Tsar. The Tsar, for hpart, con- siders himself as the first servant of the nation. Thus, the Tsar is faithful to the nation, and the Ger: man party is faithful to the Tsar. The feelings of Poles towards Russia are. now fraternal and sincere, and the Russian people entirely recipro- cate these 'sentiments.'' "Do you think, Count, that Rus- sia is suffering very much through the war? • Is there any change in Petrograd 1" I inquired.. ' "None whatever. Everyday life is not •changed in the slightest. Prices are lower: Many products which were previously exported,, for ex- ample, geese, eggs, caviar, etc., houses are the sufferers, but the na- tion is rapidly growing in moral power and wealth. The result of this new law, even after a few mouths of operation, is very strik- ing. Our hospitals in Petrograd. never 1eto usedhave u s . cttrnt room �t for patients. At the present mo- ment, ill spite of the feet that many a wounded soldier is sent here to be tended, we have always plenty of room for our patients. Statistics show a, wonderful decrease of ill- ness amongst the population. And thus, even now, we can see advan- tages and good results which have been conferred on us by the present war. The only sufferers are those who are living in the immediate sphere of military operations, and these are actually Poles. "The sympathetic Russiannation Hat o realizes this, and holds out help to the sufferers.

This money will be dis- tributed amongst the population of Poland without any discrimination as to race, creed or religion. Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, as well as Jews, will be assisted according' to their degree of destitution. •b" CRAWLED OUT OP BELGIUM. Bow Two British Convent Giris Fled Past German Sentries. IIow two English schoolgirls at a convent near Liege made fruitless efforts for four months to leave Bel- gium after the German -occupation, and how finally they escaped over the Dutch frontier on a. dark night, was told by Miss Florence Walter, a, Balham girl, nineteen years of a who, with her r age, friend, have only just succeeded in reaching their anxious relatives and friends in England. "`There were a number of other English girls at the convent," said Miss Walter, "but whenever we ap- plied to the German officers we were refused military 'permits to leave. Life under the Germans was unbearable, for we were exposed to all sorts of dangers—so we decided to escape. One night my friend and myself tramped for hours through a fir wood to Cheval Blanc, and then on to Verviers and Ensaval. For- tunately we got two or three hours' sleep, but at four o'clock the next Horning we had risen, and an hour later were sitting, together with nearly a dozen others, in a mer- chant's cart slowly wending its way to the Dutch frontier. After a weary journey of eix hour's, and shivering with fright ---for we did not know flow our venture would end—we arrived at the little front- ier village of Moulin. We visited. the only inn in the village, which was cruwded. For hours we racked our brains fur sane plan to pass the frontier guards. "Finally we started out along the muddy roads after dark, but found we were being followed by a, send• nel, so we returned to the inn. Then a man, whom we and several re- t sribus gar- denee bribed, led through a gb" den at the back of the inn, On our hands and knees we groped in the mud under' some barbed wire en- tanglements, climbed several hedges, dodged a number of sen- tries, and finally crossed •the front- ier." Not every powerful man has been able to sustain his reputation. The teacher had written on the board the questions, "What day was yesterday i" and "What day is to -day 3" and the little .girl gave these philosophical answers: "Yes- terday was to -day yesterday. To- day will be yesterday to -morrow." AlkgHihF�� FOR SALE Contents of Large Factory Shafting one to three inches diameter; Pulleys twenty to fifty Inches; Belting four to twelve inches.

The result of this new law, even after a few mouths of operation, is very strik- ing. Our hospitals in Petrograd. never 1eto usedhave u s . cttrnt room �t for patients. At the present mo- ment, ill spite of the feet that many a wounded soldier is sent here to be tended, we have always plenty of room for our patients. Statistics show a, wonderful decrease of ill- ness amongst the population. And thus, even now, we can see advan- tages and good results which have been conferred on us by the present war. The only sufferers are those who are living in the immediate sphere of military operations, and these are actually Poles. "The sympathetic Russiannation Hat o realizes this, and holds out help to the sufferers. The City of Petro- grad scut 25,000 francs for Belgium, but 50,000 roubles for Poland, and at the present moment throughout the town money and clothes are be- ing collected for the Polish victims of the war. This money will be dis- tributed amongst the population of Poland without any discrimination as to race, creed or religion. Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, as well as Jews, will be assisted according' to their degree of destitution. •b" CRAWLED OUT OP BELGIUM. Bow Two British Convent Giris Fled Past German Sentries. IIow two English schoolgirls at a convent near Liege made fruitless efforts for four months to leave Bel- gium after the German -occupation, and how finally they escaped over the Dutch frontier on a. dark night, was told by Miss Florence Walter, a, Balham girl, nineteen years of a who, with her r age, friend, have only just succeeded in reaching their anxious relatives and friends in England. "`There were a number of other English girls at the convent," said Miss Walter, "but whenever we ap- plied to the German officers we were refused military 'permits to leave. Life under the Germans was unbearable, for we were exposed to all sorts of dangers—so we decided to escape. One night my friend and myself tramped for hours through a fir wood to Cheval Blanc, and then on to Verviers and Ensaval. For- tunately we got two or three hours' sleep, but at four o'clock the next Horning we had risen, and an hour later were sitting, together with nearly a dozen others, in a mer- chant's cart slowly wending its way to the Dutch frontier. After a weary journey of eix hour's, and shivering with fright ---for we did not know flow our venture would end—we arrived at the little front- ier village of Moulin. We visited. the only inn in the village, which was cruwded. For hours we racked our brains fur sane plan to pass the frontier guards. "Finally we started out along the muddy roads after dark, but found we were being followed by a, send• nel, so we returned to the inn. Then a man, whom we and several re- t sribus gar- denee bribed, led through a gb" den at the back of the inn, On our hands and knees we groped in the mud under' some barbed wire en- tanglements, climbed several hedges, dodged a number of sen- tries, and finally crossed •the front- ier." Not every powerful man has been able to sustain his reputation. The teacher had written on the board the questions, "What day was yesterday i" and "What day is to -day 3" and the little .girl gave these philosophical answers: "Yes- terday was to -day yesterday. To- day will be yesterday to -morrow." AlkgHihF�� FOR SALE Contents of Large Factory Shafting one to three inches diameter; Pulleys twenty to fifty Inches; Belting four to twelve inches.
