Paris. July 10.--Anatoie Le nos Beaulieu. director of the Institute oi France and the foremost French au- thority on Russian affairs, whose his tory of Russia is recognized as being one of the most accurate presentations of the affairs of that empire, received q correspondent of the Associated Press this morning at his country seat near Versailles. where he devoted an ho.r to discussing the gravity of Russia's present condition and the outlook TOT the future.
 N Le Roy -BeauIieu makes frequent visits to Russia, the last only few weeks ago, for the purpose Of person ally observing the results of the first Russian election. When asked to sum up his recent observations, M. Le Roy Beaulieu said:
 .'It should be understood that the Russian situation is one of actual rev oiution. It Is no crisis. which can De measured by days. weeks or montns' but ia a vast and complete transition. resembling that of Frances revolution. When I say revolution. do not mean that the monarch is certain to be over thrown. although 1t is possible that this may follow The greater part or the leaders of the Constitutional De- mocracy desire to save the throne from wreck But they recognise that they are not masters of the future. When the Government does not satisfy the nations demands. catastrophe of the Kravest nature are ahead for Russia.
 M LeRoy- -Beaulieu was asked If the preservation of the throne meant con- kinuation of the autocracy.

 In conclusion M. Le' Roy-Beaulieu said:
 'Yt is dificult to foresee the results of such a vast upheaval, but I expect results to come about through slow nrocesses The results of your Ameri- can revolution were realized quickly because your people were prepared, but the people of Russia are far different am inclined to believe this revolution will continue in various stages of in- tensity for ten and perhaps twenty wears owing to the magnitude of the questions involved and the dangers along the way"
