PariS-POlitical happenings have
succeeded one another SO rapidly In
Russia that French correspondents
there have had little time to do more
than occupy themselves with them, and
descriptive articles from those jour
nnDsts have been few regarding the
eject of the revolution on the mass
OF the people and its results in the
provinces and among the peasants.
One or two articles, however, have ap-
peared which throw some light on tho
mentality OF the Russians, regarded rs
so different from that of other Euro
peanS
Robert de Flers, associate editor OF
the Figaro and now attached to the
headquarters staff OF the Roumanian
army. has had months Of study of the
Russian troops serving In conjunction
with those Of ROumania. Here are
some anecdotes from his latest article:
There is O fine lake somewhere In
the south Of Russia which is connected
by a channel with a smaller lake,
where huge carp are raised The chan

carp from passing into the larger lake,

One day some hundreds OF soldiers
were gathered In a meeting-One Of
those meetings which have become a
regular institution in the Russian army
this year-plunged in deep discussion

Mrs. Chanler has been interested In
hospital and relief work In Paris, but
her especial charities have been the
Lafayette fund, which provides COM
