up to the present the conditions attaching
to these concessions have not been sufn-
that they will be taken up and worked in
the near future"
In appreciating the Importance of his re-
marks it must be borne in mind that Mr..
Besmans is shortly returning TO Moscow,
and that it would be impossible for him,
therefore, to criticise. even i'm the most
friendly way, the policy of the Soviet Gov
ernment The Lithuanian Minister to Mos
COW was here few weeks ago and was much
more outspoken. and declared that the Soviet
was evidently preparing for war with some
body.
Mr. Besmans said the Soviet had recently
supplied the Latvian Legation at Moscow
with a special wireless apparatus by means
of which he could communicate directly and
very rapidly with Riga.
On December 26 they had sent into Latvia
twenty wagons full of cattle for breeding
purposes which the Bolsheviks had previous
ly taken with them into Russia and were
obliged to restore. The position with regard
to the restoration of ships was bad, but IL
could not be said that the Let's were treated
in this matter any worse than anybody else.
as the position of the Esthonians was
equally unsatisfactory
The Soviet Government is determined II
is said, to give large concessions to foreign
capitalists in every branch of trade and en-
terprise. At first 1t paid particular atten-
ton to Dutch and Swedish capitalists, but
now 1t is going to direct its attention to the
capitalists 'of other countries. In this con-

one, that these plunderers will make common

hands with this deadly enemy over the bound

Red Chiefs, Afraid of Own Armies,

The same authority went on to explain
to me that the Bolsheviks are really anxious
for foreign capitalists to come in so that they
can turn part of the Red army into labor
army to work for those concessionaires. The
Red chiefs are really afraid of their own
army, hence they are Keeping L at present on

Trotzky will only be too delighted at this
opportunity of disarming battalion of his
Red army and sending them to work for

and in this way keep them quiet.
And Trotzky seems to have no fear that
such foreigner will ever turn out to be

in common a strong aversion to seeing the

In his opening address before the All-Rus-

spoke as follows:
AS we shall soon have signed peace with

to reconstructive work inside Russia All
the adjoining States now understand thai

that war is terminating in a peace of which
the conditions are more favorable to us than
are the conditions we offered to Poland
before the war. The preiminaries of peace
with Poland are already signed. and thus the
Ententes policy of military Intervention
breaks down again. The number of States
which have concluded peace with us has
Increased and IT may safely be prophesied
that In the very near future we shall have
signed final peace with Poland.
I'VE have now concluded peace with all
the countries on our west frontier and IN

The whole picture of stupendous un-

Russian Newspaper Comments
On the VanderIip Concession

Speaking of the Vanderlip concession in
kamchatka the Prada says:
'The question of concessions ought to be
considered from the standpoint of the ener-
getic struggle between socialism and capi-
talism. The economic condition of the coun-
try is catastrophe. To reestablish trade and
commerce in the republic with our own
strength and while the fight was at its Bit
terest would have been difficult. 1t would
be difficult even now, and II is absolutely nee
essary that we have breathing space dur
ing which we can make use for a time of
all-embracing capital. In this way we shall
strengthen ourselves for the conflict
"At the present moment Kamchatka is
quite outside the sphere of our influence
and has for us no value whatsoever. No
matter how strong may be our desire to do
so we are physically incapable of making
the slightest exertion for the exploitation of
Kamchatka's natural resources"
asked an extremely we'll informed Let
tish official what he thought of the present
intensive propaganda OF the Bolsheviks on
the subject of concessions, and IL he believed
that Lenine could possibly guarantee any
profits at all to foreign capitalists. My Let

the propaganda was insincere and untrue

light on the Bolshevik policy in the matter

to foreign capitalists would be ultimately to
make the concessionaires tools of the Soviet.

To give few details of the concessions
which, according to the Bolsheviks, are now
available: There are seventy million dessia-
tina of forest between the Irtysh and the
Obi in western Siberia Gone dessiatina-270
acres).
In northern Russia there eighteen mill
ion dessiatina of agricultural land and eigh-
ty-five million dessiatina of timber.
In Siberia Lenine is Offering to foreign
capitalists the very rich Kuznetsky basin.
which is estimated to contain $50, 900 milliard
pood of coal, being half of the entire coal
supply Of Russia. Zone pood equals 36.11
pounds avoirdupois)
Eighty versts south of the town of Kuz-
netsky $50 continues Lenine's book) Is the
Tolbesk iron ore. If this region were con-
nected with the Kuznetsk station by rail-
way an iron factory could easily turn out
from forty to fifty million pood of cast iron
a year.
At distance Of one hundred versts from
the Irtysh is the Ekibas coal mine with
thirty-five milliard pood of coal This prop
erty already belongs to an English company.
however the Irtysh Trading Corporation of
London, IL / mistake not year ago all
the English employees of that company fled
before the Red army. and one of them who
captured was not allowed to return to
Ekibas. And even If he had returned he
could have done his employers no good SER
vice, for all labor in the Ekibas mines had
become demoralized.
In southeastern Russia there will be con-
cessons with an area of 3.077.123 dessiatina
of land open to foreign concessionaires who
wish to engage in agriculture and the raising
of cattle. They must work with the most up
to date machinery, and the question of trans
porting their agricultural produce abroad
will be arranged by mutual agreement

MARIE

MKARIE Is perhaps the most preva'
WI lent feminine name known TO
etymolOgists. Its synonym, Mary, has
almost equal vogue, and Maria, lts
other equivalent, is enormously popu-
lar. But though Marie is originally the
French version Of the name OF the
Blessed Virgin, all countries have
adopted her and called her their own.
Originally, Of course, the Hebrew word
marah, meaning bitter, is the root
from which all derivatives Of Mary
are evolved.
Quite early in history, 1t became
customary to give the name of Marie
to girls, adding middle name TO
qualify the attributes Of the first Mary
the Blessed Virgin herself. In this
way, several daughters Of a family
could be called by the name OF Marie
or Maria and yet they could be dis
tinRuished by their second appellation.
The earliest Of these names was that
Of Maria Annunziata, very popular In
Spain, and later changed to Maria An
nonciada. In France, one OF the most
popular feminine names was Marie
Annonciade; another was Marie AS
sunta. France also had Marie des
Anges Marie Of the angels) and In
Spain. the votaress Of the merciful
intercedlng patroness (the Blessed Wiz
gin) Is Maria de Mercedes.
Marie de Dolores Marie of SOr-
rows) and Marie del Incarnation are
other examples Of the popular trend
which helped to spread the name OF
Marie. Many young ladies in Spain
are still christened Maria de la Con
cepcion, but In Italy, this Is contracted
to the one word Ooncetta. England
and America use Marie alone and also
favor Molly, the diminutive and en-
dearment. Indeed, in England, Molly
lie frequently given in baptism as
proper name with no reference to 1T
more dignified parent.
Marie's -tallsmanic stone is jasper

poison from the wound. 1t will alsC
