Soldering Effects of War.

Petro9rad. Dec. 1.-THE effect OF
'ho war or the common soldiers and
their families in the villages has been
studied and reported to the Imperial
Geographic Society by l. l. I'lyanOft
on the basis OF letters that have pass
cd through his hands. Mr. UlyaHoff
examined | letters written about the
same time from the DvinSk front and
IN equal number OF letters written
from a viii? &c in the northern troy
tuCC OF Perm. OF course there was
no selection. Without exception all
she village l"tter-writerS declared tho
war had to be fought to a victorious
conclusion, no matter what the cost
to the country or to themselves.
The soldiers writing from tnH
iruHt. some on the eve Of battle. cX-
pressed unfaItCring confidence il, the
liu.l outcome. whether they should
live to sec it nr not. But what was
moro striking was that practically all
tn" soldier lCtter-WritcrS had Obyi-
Cu$ly undergone, in their lonely
watches or in their quiet trench con-
vcrsat.Ous. moral experiences that
Mr.. UlyauOM characterized as cOnNCr-
SiCns. They expressed the intent!On,
if spared, to nv" according to tn"

spoke OF VOWS by themselves and by
