Count lila Tolstoy, son of the late
Russian novelist, in an interview at
Boulder, Colorado, where he is now liv-
ing, says that the food shortage had
nothing to do with the revolution at
Petrograd. Underlying the whole out
break, he says, is the question of the
reactionary ministers in the cabinet
particularly those of pro-German pro
clivities. He believes the revolution
will change completely the character of
the army situation and that the sol
diors will fight with renewed vigor
knowing that the government is back
of them.

To work and live onls for one 5 self
will by no means promote happiness.
On the contrary, it is source of in
tense misery. The secret of many a
joyless life which has gone out in bit
terness, suicide or insanity, may be
found n the selfshness which domi-
mated it from its beginning to its close.
