 ABOUT PRESENT WAR
Russian Novelist in 1910 Called His Niece To Dictate To Her
 Forecast of European Events
 Which Later Developed Partly

Not long after the cea-a of Count Tolstoy, the great Russian novelist and philosopher his grandniece, the Countess Nastasia Tolstoy, published an article hich obtained considerable prominence in the newspapers at the time The countess said that in 1910 she had been requested by the Czar to procure from the aged writer then suffering from paralysis which short ly afterwards killed him, a message for transmission to the King Of Great Britain and the German Kaiser She visited her grand-uncle and repeated the request to him. asking him to give his views on international matters and the prospects of Europe. Tolstoy replied that for two years he had been haunted by an obsession which he could not publish as fiction and in- structed her to write at his dictation The countess then describes what fol- lowed My aged host leaned back in his chair covered his eyes with his hand and relapsed into an apparently comatose condition. For ten minutes be remained absolutely motionless. Then, strengthening up like one in a trance, he began in a low and hollow voice:
 This Is a revelation of events of a universal character which must shortly come to pass. Their spiritual outlines are now before my eyes. ] see floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude woman. She is with her beauty her poise, her smile, her jewels, a su- per-Venus. Nations rush madly after her, each of them eager to attract her especially But she, like an eternal courtesan. hirts with them all In her hair-ornament of diamonds and rubies is engraved her name, "Commorcial- ism" As alluring and bewitching as she seems, much destruction and ag- ony follows in her wake Her breath, rocking of sordid trausacnons, her voice of metallic character like gold, and her look of greed are so much poison to the nations who fall victims to her charms

LONDON. Aug. 22- Statements de. hning their positions in regard to par ticipaung in Che present European struggle have been issued by Ger many. England and Russia through their rulers On behalf of the Kaiser, the German Imperial Chancellor said:
 "The war is a life and death stug gle between Germany and the Mus covite races of Russia. and was due to the recent royal murders at 5are- jevo

 "It is with a heavy near, that we see England ranged among our op- pCrarcs

 "The sympathy of the American nation will then lie with German culture and civilization fighting against a half Asiatic and slightly cultured barbarism."
 The efforts of King George to avert a general European war through per sonal intervention with his kinsmen the Czar and the German Emperor are disclosed in the text of his per sonal communication to the Czar.
 Renering to the official statement

of the German Government accusing Russia of having mobilized her forces while the Kaiser was undertaking to mediate between Russia and Austria, the King wrote
 "I cannot help thinking that some misunderstanding has produced this deadlock ! ann most anxious not Co miss any possibility of avoiding the terrible calamity which at present threatens the whole world ] there fore make a personal appeal to you to remove the misapprehension which feel must have occurred and to leave stll open grounds for negotiation and possible peace.
 "If you think ] can in any way con tribute to that allimportant purpose I win do everything in my power to assist in reopening the interrupted conversations between the powers concerned ] feel confident that you are as anxious as ] am that all that is possible should be done to secure the peace of the world"
 To the Kings appeal the Czar re- piled as follows:
 "I would gladly have accepted your proposals had not the German Am bassador this afternoon presented a note to my Government declaring war Ever since the presentation Of the ultimatum at Belgrade. Russia has devoted all her efforts to finding some pacific solution of the question raised by Austria's action The object of that action was to crush Seryia and make her a vassal of Austria The effect of this would have been Co upset the bal ance of power in the Balkans. which is of such vital interest to my empire
 Every proposal. inc.uc-ne cnat of your Government was rejected by Germany and Austria and 1t was only when the favorable moment for bring ing pressure to bear on Austria had passed that Germany showed any dis position to mediate Even then she did not put forward any precise proposal Austria's declaration of war on Seryia forced me to order a partial mobiliza- ton. though. in view of the threaten ing situation, my military advisers strongly advised a general mobiliza tion owing to the quickness with which Germany can mobilize in com parison with Russia

 "The English army, it is true. isn't very large, but England ian certainly send 100000 men to the front. Little Belgium can send a like number If England is pressed she can send fully 60O,OO0 men to the frons Tne English are very good stubborn fighters and as matters stand l don't think the Germans have much chance
 Ten to One Against Germany
 'If l was to look at it from a pure ly mathematical standpoint I should say the chances against Germany are fully ten to one.
 Nothing but very unfortunate mistake by the English and French will enable the Germans to reach Paris
 This particular war ts not like the war in South Africa or in any other uncivilized country Troops can and will be moved with great rapidity. Ma poleon says battles were won by quick marches. I opine that this war will be of rather shoC Cura--on.

 There are no better sea fighters in the world than the English. If they had to deal with Germany alone. there would be little chance but that the German fleet would be wiped off the sea, but when you consider the French and Russian fleets are added l should say the Germans don't stand a chance in a hundred
