RUSSIANS POSSESS NO NATIONAL ANTHEM

Correspondence Associated Press.)
 Petrograd, Aug. 30.-Russian com posers and song-writers are compet- ing to produce a national anthem worthy of the revolution.
 The autocratic God Save the Ezar' can no longer be used; and for want of a native substitute the Marseillaise is temporarily employed. Of existing native songs the one most favored as national anthem is the Volga bargoes melody "Ei ukhnsm!" made popular outside Russia by the Balalaika or chestra of Andreyeff.
 Music shops are inundated by new ly written Songs of Liberty, Songs of Democracy" and Songs of the Revolution" but none apparently appeals to the popular fancy. One is the work of the English director Coates, of the Petrograd opera and ballet orchestra. Another is a para phrase of a hymn by John Wesley founder of Methodism. Several song writers have produced new revolu- tionary words to songs by Gretchani- nofff. Moussorgsky and Pergament. The famous novelist Kuprin advises song-writers to abandon their efforts and wait until natural national anthem springs somewhere out oi the hearts of the people,"
