Russia is the country OF the greatest contrasts.
The world has looked at Russia as a land OF
wide steppes of frozen ground hungry bears
and desperate Cossacks. and forgets that this
Is the Russia OF the autocratic system and next
to it is a Russia Of high civilization and the
highest art
One of the strange peculisrites Of Russian
life is that you will find the greatest contrasts
everywhere. Here you will see the most lux
urious castles, cathedrals. converts, villas and
gardens; there you will find the most miser
able huts of the mouiiks and penal colonies OF
the exiled in Siberia Here you will meet the
most cruel official. the most corrupt bureaucrat
or spy; there you face the noblest and
women. supermen, physically and mentally.
You will find that all Russian life is full Of
such mental and physical contrasts.
The Russian homes are full of contrasting
colors, bright red and yellow. white and blue.
The Russian music is the most dramatic pho
netic art ever created; It reaches the deepest
sorrow and the gayest hnarity and Joy.
Dreamy romantic. imaginative, simple, hos
pitable and childlike as an average Russian

qualities which thrown up as dark shadows
on the canvas OF his horizon. This is the dual
ism that confronts the foreigners. While with
one hand Russia has been conquering the
world with the other she has been creating
the most magnificent masterpieces of human
ity. In the same generation she produces
Plehve and a Tolstoy, both, IN a way. true to
national type.
The outside world is wondering how the
Russian character will At in with the aspirsr
tions OF democracy. They cannot reconcile

the Russia OF pogroms and Cossacks with the
Russia of municipal theatres, great artists
writer's, musicians and lovers Of humanity.
Even in the United States you will meet
these doublenatured Russians next TO each
other. Here you will the corrupt chinoV-
mix, the narrow-minded official Of the govern
ment and there the great dreamer, the ideal

NAMED outside the pale Of American commerce
in spite OF the fact that Russia is four times
the size Of Europe three times the size OF the
United States and forty-tour times as large as
England.
II is not strange at all that the United States
which is foremost in industrial development
is far behind other countries in the knowledge
OF principles which underlie international trade
This is due to the fact that American business
men have been In the habit of transacting their
export business almost entirely through Euro
pean middemen. The policy Of America has
been that of watchful waiting for orders from
the English, the Germans. the Hollanders and
merchants of other nations.
Russia figured and continues TO figure to the
average American merchant. a country equal
to Mexico or the South American republics
This is a pity. Knowing Russia as do can
say that whatever may happen to the nations
engaged in the present war-France may be
exhausted, Germany and Austria overrun, and
the British Empire may be broken up-between
Russia and her conquest still lie those impene-
trable spaces where the armies OF Napoleon
and Jenghis Khan lie buried, the armies that
the world has not forgotten.
Not only has Russia her peculiar racial
civilization. her unique art and literature, and
national traditions. but she has riches OF which
the outside world knows little and riches that
are stf1l buried.
