HOW RUSSIANS ESCAPED.
Took Advantage or Permission to visit
san Francisco Jnguarded.


SAN Francisco. Feb. 17.-Admiral Nc
Calln, commandant OF the Mare Island
Navy Yard, to-day gave some additional
details Of the escape of three officers from
the Russian cruiser Lena. He said that
no watch had been put upon the officers,
their word OF honor being considered suifi-
cient. From the first they had gone back
and forth to San Francisco at their pleasure
and had lived strictly up to the letter of
their parole.
A change came, however, about the middle
OF January. when three Of the officers,
Engineer Serge Kapatzin and two midship-
men, Mochaitoff and kira DinJan, left for
a visit to this city and failed TO return.
When their leave had expired and no word
had been heard, the commander of the Rus
sian cruiser reported the matter to Admiral
McCalla, who in turn communicated the
facts TO the Navy Department at Washing
ton This was the latter part of January
No extra watch has been put on the
officers at this yard. Admiral McCala ex-
planning that the Government cannot dis
trust the remaining officers Of the Lena
because three of the ships complement
proved untrustworthy.
Some time ago the United States Gov
eminent allowed one Of the officers OF the
Lena, also an engineer, TO return to Russia
on account of illness He was afflicted with
melancholia, An apprentice was allowed
to accompany him.
The measures which Russia will take TO
make amends for the offence OF the three
officers against the United States Govern
ment will be watched with interest, az 1t 10

burg some days ago and reported TO the

turers are disappointed when they
commence to advertise at not
receiving a greater number OF
direct replies, even though they
know that the real selling prob
lem is in the hands of the
retailers.
One manufacturer felt this
way even though his volume of
business through retail stores had
been steadily increasing from the
moment he began to advertise in
The LADIES HOME JOURNAL.
II was necessary to call his atten-
ton to the fact that this increased
business was due to his advertis-
ing, and was a better direct reply
than any number of replies from
consumers whose orders, however
large, we're as nothing besides the
orders placed by the dealer.
The result of advertising in
THE LADIES HONE JOURNAL is
the demand created on the re-
taller, not the letters written to
the advertiser.

can give is given willingly and gladly
She produced two rolls OF bills and told
what she would like each roll used for,
The money was all her own, she said, and
she was glad that she WAS able TO give it
The Consul General thanked her and asked
for her name. without being the least
bit disoourteous the woman declined to
tell who she was.
But to whom shall make out the re-

donor Il know you will see that the money

The woman departed without further
talk. No attempt was made to get her TO
reveal her identity. She Is described as
a woman OF about IS years OF age, neatly
but not fashionably dressed. Consul-Gen
eral Uchida said last night that he hadn't
been able to learn the name of the woman
but that he knew her heart was in the right

William Gillette is presented by Charles
Frohman, found the inspiration for the
play in one of William Ernest Henley 8
poems. which is number 81 in the
Echoes" two lines OF which are quoted
in the play by Mr.. Gillette as Crichton.
The poem In full is as foliows:
''Or ever the knightiy years were gone
With the old world to the grave,
was King in Babylon
And you were a Christian Slave
| saw, l took, / cast you by,
[ bent and broke your pride.
You loved me well, or | heard them lie,
But your longing was denied.
Surely / knew that by and by
You cursed your gods and died
And myriad suns have set and shone
Since then upon the grave
Decreed by the King in Babylon
TO her that had been his slave
Tho pride / trampled is now my seattle
For II ira o.as me again.
The old resentment lasts like death,
For you love, yet you refrain,

And | break my heart in vain.
Yet not for an hour do l wish undone
The deed beyond the grave,
