NOLGDA, Russia, June tby maiD. The topsy-turvy change which has taken place in Russian life with the advent of the rule of the Bolshe- wiki is graphically shown by the sit uation in the governors palace here, where the foreign embassies. includ- ing that of the United States, have made their headquarters since leaving Petrograd.
 In that palace, where now sits the Nologda government soviet there is sailor who is in command of an important military post-once held by general Two months ago the sailor wore his openthroated military blouse and belled trousers and was unshaven. A month ago the correspondent saw him, this time in trim. light grey uni form with slick, shining hgh boots
 Yesterday carnage with two fine horses passed the correspondents izvo- chik on the Riverside drive of Nolgda Seated in the carriage was an elab- orately uniformed young man, his right arm. Russian fashion, clasping the waist of very pretty girl.
 Our sailor friend, out for an air ing, with his lady love.
 While the "bourgeoisie" are under going a taste of what the proletariat had. the Nologda representatives of the latter are ruling with firm. quiet hand There have been no riots or disorders here as in Petrograd and Moscow The soviets just took con trol that was all.
 They are free and untrammeled lords of all they survey. Most of them have stepped into the official places without changing their work mems blouses Their "sobrinias" or meetings are fervent with cratory and theories and they are learning poli- tics and all its quips and quirks. Those of the embassy colonies here who have attended the "sobrinias" de clare they have been impressed most by their earncstness.

trail Of their ventures, ostensibly de-
signed to raise money by promoting
"bazars'' and benefits" by house-to-

to be found in all the cities and larger
towns throughout the nation.

When no balance sheet was pub
hshed after nearly year of activity
in gathering in the shillings, and
when, moreover, the London commit
tee began seeking government aid to
prevent the Duchess of Somerset from

London for the benefit Of the French
Red Cross, an investigation was be-
gun which seems to have finally been
taken in hand by Scotland Yard.
Sir John Simon, Churchill, Lloyd
George and others withdrew from the
sponsorship of the fund The score
tary of the fund then tried to place
before the public a statement of the
condition of the fund, which amount
ed to $23O, 200, and $500, 900 was want

giving money to worthy causes de-
signed to make life easier for the
men who are exposing their lives to
their country's nemies.
It is difficult of course to present
any intelligent estimate of the gross
amount of money raised by volunteer
collectors of these various funds"
but it undoubtedly mounts away up
into the millions.
A well dressed woman around
whose arm was white band on
which was stamped a faint red cross
visited several apartment houses in
New York. She carried a pasteboard
box with a slot and decorated with a
big red cross. When admitted she
inquired breezily:
Anything for the Red Cross to-
day."
When questioned by some of her
| intended victims as to the specific
purpose of the collection she said.
oh, this is for a special purpose"
The Red Cross does not employ
agents of this sort and its appeals for
| funds are publicly made, and sub
scriptions should be sent to headquar-
| tiers.
Great Britain and every other bel
hgerent country was confronted by
the same conditions and problems in
| the early stages of the war. So great
was the abuse of the public confidence
hy the easy money men, of England
that the government and newspapers
| opened war on them, with the result
that many were sent to prison, and
the patriotic charities regulated and
organized on a business basis under
government supervision.
In December, 1915, the London
Daily Mail began a crusade against
| the volunteer war charities of an in
! discriminate character. 1t exposed
the exorbitant profits raked in by
persons who preyed OF the public
through appeals for funds to carry on
ostensible patriotic ventures.
The Mail asserted that enough
money was collected in this way to
pay the actual cost of the war for a
week. And Great Britain was then
spending $25,000,0o0 for war pur-
poses every day.
| Most Of the revenues of the 'sba-
| Ears" and benefits were eaten up
by expenses for press agents, ad-
vertising solicitors and promotions"
One woman was arrested who turn
