Trina Schischmanoff is now in Russia.
She has lectured in AZ towns dn Moscow
and St Petersburg several times), and
she claims she has brought home the hor-
rors of war to 100000 persons. Her sue
cess in evol1ing enthusiasm is due to her
passion and warmth; but still more so to
her analytical skill In bringing before au-
diences the sufferings of combatants and
of their friends which war entails fav-
orite method is to describe the lot of a
single soldier and of his family. 1.-The
story of Stoilo Pozdneff' is now known
all over Russia. Stoilo Pozdneff is the
schoolmaster of Kill Agatch, a Turko-
Bulgarian frontier village who leaves a
wife and four children to fight with
RadlSe Dmitrieyeff at Kirk Kilisse With
tears in her eyes and trembling voice,
Mile. Schischmanoff describes Pozdneff's s
feelings: his first conflict between patriot
ism and love, and the final vision that
comes of his family as he falls to a Turk
ish scrapnel bullet After this follow min
ute ANALYSIS of the feelings of all PAID
neff's relatives down to the youngest
child, ''who began to cry because all the
others cried, and then began to laugh,
remarhing, IF father is dead they will
have to send him home What will he
bring me-? " Stories like this, all told in
dry, realistic form, with no rhetoric and
no conscious art. move Irinas audience
to tears.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-03

Trina is finding followers among leaders
of Russian thought Among these is Prof
p. n. Miliukoff, the cadet leader who
was once professor at Sophia university.
She was invited to Grand Duke Constan-
tines villa at Strelna to give a private
lecture on her experiences. Grand Duke
Constantine called her the most effective
peace propagandist he had ever heard. 1t
was he who on hearing OF her call,
named her the Jeanne d Arc of Peace
The rich Tieff sugar reflner Gvodieff Of
fered her $4,000 in order that she might
help the peace movement with pamphlets
and books; but Trina rejected the money,
saying, "Only the voice of the sufferer
can drive war from the world" Minister
of the Interior MaklalSoff is the only Rus
sian of note who regards with suspicion
the peace propaganda. He refused to help
Trina when her lecture was forbidden by
the police master of Tula. Elsewhere
Trina has met with no trouble, despite the
prejudice of Russian bureaucrats that the
cause of peace is someway tied up with
the cause of revolution.
Trina started in Russia because she
talks Russian fiuently; but she is also
able to lecture in German and French.
When she goes to England and America
she will use French. She knows no En-
glish. For the next decade. she says
she will lecture uninterruptedly. by
them" she says, ''who knows but by a
miracle as wonderful as my call war
will be driven from the word?'
