are 43S ministers in the country
who get more than $4,000 a year,

404 who receive between $4,000

ministers have been forced to en-
gage In some occupation outside Of
the ministry such as poultry rais-

Count |LyA TOLSTOY
URGES UNITED RUSSIA

The fallacy of any policy under
taken by the allied nations toward
Russia which includes the division
Of that country into her component
parts was emphasized today by Count
Ilya Tolstoy, son of the famous Count
Leo Tolstoy, who spent an hour in
Washington this morning en- route
to Richmond, Va.
''The policy of the allies toward Rus
gerous to civilization by reason of
the opportunism of Lloyd George"
said the Russian nobieman. whose
name has been spoken of in connec-
ton with the Office of first president
of a freed and united Russia 81
would like to make it very clear that
the policy of weakening Russia
brought about, and will perpetuate,
bolshevism, because bolshevism. which
is a mental disease, thrives on in
ternal national weakness.
I'VE must endeavor to make as strong
as possible a union of all Russia
component parts, for only by the SOL
idarity of the Russian people can a
democratic government develop which
will throw off bolshevism-"
Count T0lstoy further said that the
only country which seems to have a
clear conception of Russian affairs
and the right attitude toward them is
the United States. Count Tolstoy dep
recated what he called the Polish in
vasion." because, he explained, las
long as external war is carried on by
foreigners the soviet system will be
Every Russian fears
and fights invasion with greater des-
peration than anything else"
Count Tolstoy was greeted during
his stop-over here by Victor Hugo
Duras, formerly United States vice
consul at Petrograd, and by Ossip
Perelma, the Russian artist.

SOON TO BEGIN INQUIRY
INTO HIGH PRICES HERE

The inquiry of the Federation of
Citizens Associations to determine
whether the prices being charged for
coal and bread in Washington are
justified by present conditions prob
ably will get started Wednesday.
W. b. Westlake, president of the
federation, said today he wanted to
take few days to consider the per-
sonnet of the investigating committee
of fifteen. authorized by the organize
ton at its meeting Saturday night.
1t is probable that the committee,
when appointed, will be divided into
two subcommittee, one to handle the
coal question and the other bread.
While the delegates to the fedora
ton discussed high prices in general
at the Saturday night meeting. it was
decided to concentrate on bread and
coal at this time, because they are
necessities which must be used by ali
families.
Just what form the inquiry of the
federation will take has not been
worker out. In the case of the milk
price, the committee invited the pro-
ducers and dairymen to attend a
meeting of committee of the fedora
ton and respectively present their
sides of the question.
Mr.. Westlake said he felt sure the
committee would gladly hear what
anybody has to say about the matters
under inquiry.
