The Eclipse of Russia.
There have been many tales told
about Russia and how that coun-
try fell and almost smashed the
hopes of the allies. But they have
been vague and imaginary for the
most part. DR.. Z. ]. Dillon. who has
long been a student of Slavic lang
| uages and civilization and a resi-
dent among the Russian peoples of
all classes. has written in his
Eclipse of Russia" the most cor
rect story to date.
The Eclipse OF Russia" gives the
true story of the swift descent of
the Russian autocracy into anarchy /:
the secret dealings and treaties be-
| tween the Gar and the Kaiser; of
Rasputin and the Russian court: of
the fall of Count Witte and the tor
tuous intrigues of the old-line dip
lomacy The personal reminiscent
ces of the author form one of the
most interesting features of the
book
Now that the question of inter-
ference in Russia is rapidly claim
ing the attention of our govern
ment. IL is well to know what ana
who will have to be dealt with to
! insure the best results.
DR.. Dillon has been a friend of
the notable leaders of Russian af-
fairs and therefore is in a position
to speak authoritatively. He has
lived on the steppes in the Ukraine
as well as in Petrograd. His work
is real' and therefore relia BILE.

words understandable.
With more and longer intimacy
than any other Enslish-speaking wri-

the little inner coteries, artistic and

OF that grace and clarity which we

prose.

sketches which go to make up this

Mr.. Symons has ever given the pub
