Has Fled Siberia.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-In behalf of
the Russian Civilian Relief associa-
ton, G. c. Calhoun, its president, dis
claimed responsibility for the publish
ed report that Grand Duchess Tatiana
daughter of the deposed czar of Rus
STA, had escaped from Siberia and
would sing. dance and write in this
country for the benefit of the society.
The society, organized to collect
funds for the civilian population in
Russia, Mr.. Calhoun said, planned to
conduct its paganda in dignified
manner. He considered an appear
ance of the former grand duchess as
most improbable.
The tale of the escape of the former
grand duchess through a mock mar
riage, accredited to Ivan Naroddy,

graduated the company, saying:
Occasions arise frequently in war,
and will arise frequently again, where
clear-headed GOODNESS and courage are
necessary. This company behaved on
one occasion as it was expected to

American soldiers is expected to do
under similar circumstances. The

and the citations.
