PEACE At ANY PRICE NOT
NEED OF RUSS PEOPLE
So Says Vladimir Bourtseff, Noted
Writer, Who Sees German Inau-
ences Behind Bolshevism.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, May 25.-Belief that
the people of Russia want, above all
things. peace at any price, is mis-
take, asserts Vladimir Bourtseff. a
noted Russian former revolutionary
and newspaper man. who has arrived
here from Finland.
"The boIsheviki threaten the total
destruction of Russia" said Bourtseff
to a writer in the Dagens Nyheter.
They attained power by the help Of
the Germans. and by the same means
are maintained in power. Bolshevik-
ism is a danger, not only for Russia,
but for the whole world. and 1t is nee
essary that the supporters OF Its doc
trines should be thoroughly defeated.
Russia cannot be saved SO long as
bolshevih are in control. I am con,
vinced they can be conquered, and I
hope it will not be long before they
are suppressed.
What Russia needs Is a government
composed of democrats and cadets
Constitutional democrats) with a
man like Korniloff or Milyukoff at It's
head. The idea that the land seeks
above all things peace at any price is
a mistake. This would be made plain
under another government which. un-
like the present. was not dependent
on German support"
Bourtseff at the beginning of the war
was living in Paris as refugee. He
Immediately returned to Russia to Of
fer his services to the government
against Germany. He was arrested
the moment he reached Russian soil
and sent to Siberia. After a year
there he was released on the inter-
cession OF President Poincare of
France. He returned to Petrograd,
where he opposed the bolsheviki.
When the revolution broke out he
was imprisoned In the fortress Of st.
Peter and st. Paul. After four months
Imprisonment he escaped and reached
Helsingfors, whence he came to Swe-
den.

BRITISH INVENTOR SAYS
DIAMONDS EXIST IN IRON

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 2s.-Real diamonds,
srtincially made. were exhibited in con-
nection with the annual May lecture be-
fore the British Institute OF Medals. The
speaker. Sir Charles A. Parsons, who is
widely known for his work in developing
the, turbine engine. told OF experiments
which showed that diamonds exist in
iron
The diamonds displayed were few and
small. and it was stated that they were
produced at enormous cost. Only the
resources OF great engineering works

ever. the lecturer believed that with the
advance of chemistry and electrical en-

ENGLAND TO AMERICA BY
A|RSH|P QUITE FEASIBLE
So Says F. II. Page, Inventor, Who
Talks Of a Machine That Will
Travel 100 Miles an Hour.


LONLON, May 2s.-Airplane trips
from England to America are quite
feasible by use OF a machine travel
ing day and night at the rate of 100
miles an hour, declared F. Handley
Page. inveneor of type of machine
named for him, in a recent statement
to the representative fthe Daily Ex-
press.
II have received a cablegram from
Canada congratulating me on the
construction of a machine to travel
to and from America" continued the
inventor, but I have no such machine
on hand.
"The trip would be from Ireland to
New York, via Newfoundland, being
100 miles. An alternative journey to
America would be via the Azores. On
the steady 100-milesan- n-hour basis
you can compute all the long-distance
runs that occur to you, including
week end trips to China and Peru.
For short distances, such as Lon
don to Manchester, 1 am not inclined
to think that airplanes will take the
places OF railways unless in case Of
pressing urgency. A comfortable
first-class carriage of a fast train
Will COHLlHuo TO Dc q more usual
course of travel.
Airship Has Severe Handicap.
1.-THE airplane has a great advantage
of speed. but 1t has severe handicaps
in the way of wind and fog and other
adverse climatic conditions.
II do not think that after the war
wealthy men will take up private
motor cars. Few people can afford
private yachts. and a pleasure air
plano would be as expensive as a
yacht.
There Is no such thing as perpetual
safety in the air. and this is bound to
have an effect on the average man. I
am speaking of course, of the i'm
mediate future only. In the long re-
suits of time there are infinite possi-
bilities in the evolution of aviation.
There is an immense future for
aircraft as aids to the worlds pros
perity. but what I call the tourist
idea of round the world in forty
holrs' leads nowhere and means moth
ing.
'In the course Of time bigger
machines will be built with more
powerful engines to direct them, but
can see no immediate prospects of
turning out airplanes that will carry
as many passengers as ocean liners.
We must continue to beware of hot
air in airplane prophecies"

and little over to spare.
It is the custom at this base. SO
far as artillery officers are concerned,
to distinguish between those who
have not yet been up to the firing
line and those who have had their

are kept occupied also with lectures

Throughout the army, in the or

of tn. Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 2s.-The hardships OF
railway travel during the present
disorganiZation in Russia were
brought home repeatedly to the mem
bers of the American Red Cross mis-
sion to Rumania on their journey
from Jassy to Murmansk. The dis
tance is about $500 miles. but the
mission was nearly a month on the
way. averaging less than 100 miles
a day. Even after reaching Murmansk
the Americans lived on their railway
trains for two weeks while waiting
for a boat.
Murmansk is $50 miles north OF the
arctic circle. and the cold during parts
of the journey was severe. None OF
the railway cars had any heating ar
rangemerts. During the, coolest
weather many of the doctors and
nurses remained in their beds all day
to keep warm. -.
American ingenuity made a brave
effort to remedy the lack Of heating
arrangements by building small
stoves OF brick, stones and pieces of
sheet iron. These stoves were built
in the corridors or aisles of the cars
and were fed with wood and charcoal
picked up along the line. They were
not very successful as heating ap-
pliances. but were occasionally useful
for making hot coffee or tea.
