London, July 29.-Mail advices re-
ceived here from st. Petersburg give
details of the expulsion from Russia OF
George Kennan, the American author
and lecturer, who was called upon at
his hotel at St. Petersburg Thursday
evening and was informed by high
police officer that he must leave the
country by 10 o'clock Friday evening.
Mr.. Kennan was courteously treated,
but was not allowed to leave his room
in the interim.
His expulsion was carried out quiet
". He was provided with travelling
passport signed by the chief Of the po-
litical police and boarded train for
Wirballin, accompanied by an escort.
His own passport was returned to him
on his arrival at Wirballin. The corre-

press referred to Mr.. Kennan's return

feel secure.

a high police official placed him under
detention in his room and read notice
requiring Mr.. Kennan's departure by
10 o'clock Friday night There is only
one explanation for Mr.. KennaDs ex-
