snare of the worlds goods by dis

between the people of Rlssia and

personal friend of Kerensky, Count
Nesselrode was a fervent adherent to
the revolution and gave to the pro-
VlsSonal government what aid he
could from this end.
THE French are astonished at the
progress made by German influence
in Russia he says, but they forget
that the Germans are simply reaplng
the reward of persistent efforts that
date back to a remote period" AS an
example Count Nesselrode points to
the great number of Russian students
in German universities where they
were aided, encouraged and cultivated
in every way. He puts the number
just before the war at $4,000.
Count Nesselrode has now been
completely ruined by the revolution,
the lite property he had retained
having been sacked, devastated and
appropriated, yet he keeps his faith
in a final sane outcome of the revo-
luton and he considers it a great
fault for the nations of the Entente
to base their attitude toward Russia
