MILLIONS OF RUSSIANS
ARE DRIVEN into EXILE
BY Russell Browning,

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
London, Eng. January 20.--Dur
ing the past two years two million
refugees from Russia have invaded
practically every civilized country,
and thousands continue to sweep
through the Soviet lines and scatter
themselves to the four winds.
Lesser hegiras than the present
Slav exodus have created sweeping
photographic changes in the human
race. But aside from the broad racial
drama presented by the Russian dis
persion, the individual stories of
many Of the exiles are rich in human
interest, local color, and the stuff
that epics poems are made of.
A thousand potential Enoch Ar
dens, ten thousand Evangelines, per-
haps future Ulysses are wandering
in foreign lands, out Of touch with
home and family, out of joint with
the new life of an alien country.
An estimate of the distribution of
these refugees is given in a report
just issued by the American Red
Cross. The figures do not include any
Of the recent Crimean refugees, near
ly 10000 in humber, who are al
ready scattered over half dozen
near Eastern countries:
Poland, 100000; Germany, $780,
600; France, $4,000; Austria, 5O,-
600; Constantinople, $4,000; Finland,
25, 900; Italy, 10000; Serbia, $4,000 ;
England, $4,000; Latvia, 10000;
Hungary, 5000; Egypt, 1000; Lem
nos, $500; Greece, $500; Cyprus,
1900; Bohemia, 1000; Sweden,
1000; Norway, 1000. Total, 1884,
600. Recent Crimean refugees,
12S,O0O. Total, 100000.
The red terror is only partly re-
sponsible for the hordes Of Russian
exiles Thousands of war prisoners,
who, in the early days of the war,
fought under the cars banner and
were captured during Hindenburg's
victories in the dismal Pinsk and
Pripct marshes, informed in prison
camps in Germany, and marched over
the French frontier after the armi-
stice, to learn for the first time of the
revolution in Russia, have been the

PREMIER LENlNE'S LIFE
IS IN SERIOUS DANGER
Detectives Use Precaution to
Protect Russian Leader
From Poisoning
(By United Press)

Riga, Latvia, Jan. 2O.-The life of
Nikolai Lenine is in serious danger,
according to all reports reaching
here. Latest reports from Moscow
were that Lenine, lying i'll, is sur
rounded by detectives who are TAX
ing every precaution against a poison
ing plot, much in keeping with the
plots on the ancient cars.
Guards were reported to be strict
ly carrying out a plan so much like
that used in the old regime, in which
all food must be especially prepared
for the suspected person. The vi
ands are first offered to a servant and
if the servant is unframed by the
food, it may be fed to the patient.
Thus every precaution is being taken
for the life of the premier. 1t is re-
ported that Soviet leaders found
conditions in Moscow were grave.
They are apprehensive of what may
happen if Lenine dies.

tanned in a resolution submitted to
the committee on live stock in both

into the state, and it is asked that
more stringent examination of stock
being shipped into the state be made
and q sixty-day re-test of all live
stock being shipped from other states.
