HARKS BACK TO DAYS
OF PETER THE GREAT
Ancient Town In Russia Comes
Into the Limelight.

Nologda, Russia, March 2l-(Cor
respondence of The Associated
Press The German drive into
Russia and the peace treaty signeC
by the bolsheviki have brought bach
to Nologda some OF the importance
it had in the days OF Peter the
Great.
When the American ambassador
David K. Francis, selected Nolodga
for the site OF his embassy to Rus
Sia during the period when Petro-
grad was threatened by German oc
cupation, the little city took on new
life.
Prices OF foodstufts scared and
as more and more Americans came
to the city. rooms were at such a
premium that some members Of the
embassy staff were forced to use for
several weeks their train berths as
sleeping quarters.
The only quarters which could be
found by Consul Treadwell for the
American consulate were rooms in
a huge barn-lke hotel known as the
Hermitage, which was full of Ger
man prisoners and Russian soldiers.
The consulate's room was Just
across the hall from the German
prisoners headquarters. but some
OF these prisoners apparently did
not know America was in the war.
Some of them came into the con-
sulate the first day it opened and
asked if the Americans were still
handling the matter OF prisoners
relief.
The embassy was made welcome
and huge wooden structure for
merly used as a mechants' club was
turned over for its use.
Nologda, in the days of Peter the
Great. was one Of the most import
ant cities in Russia. 1t is the head
of navigation OF the Cologda River.
which empties into the Arctic at
Archangel. and for centuries the
ships of the European traders sent
their cargoes into Russia by this
route.
Peter the Great lived in Vologda
for several years and built here the
of the first Russian navy.
After the building OF Petrograd.
Vologda lost most of its importance.
though river steamers still ply be-
between here and Archangel.
Vologda is the junction OF the
Vladivostok- Petrograd and the
Archangel- Moscow railway lines
and was selected as the embassy site
because of its transportation conve-
niences.
