BY SIR PAUL DUKES.

Who are the prime actors in the
great Russian drama. and what do
the Russian people think OF them?
II IS astonishing how many OF the
simple Russian peasantry remember
names Of the earliest days OF the
revolution. such as Prince Lvoff,
Rodzianko. and Gutchkov, who have
long since passed from the stage.
But Lenin. TO the average peasant,
is an outsider who talks unintelli-
Fibly about "Communes, and Sisil-
ism CSocialism). and a republic
without a czar, and like stuff that
nobody understands.
To the town population, however
Lenin is the supreme doctrinaire
while to the Communist party he Is
Moses, laying down the law.
No great hostility is observable
against Lenin. II is against his hire
lings. against petty Commissars,
against crude and despotic Bolshe-
vik officials and the Communist sys-
TEN. that bitter hostility is felt.
There are quite a large number OF
people ready to admit that Lenin is
a sincere visionary, who, II he gave
up his Uorld-revolutionary ideas,
might lead Russia into the paths Of
peace.
Trotzky enjoys immense popular
ity amongst a certain section Of Com

IL, 900 ORPHANS
ARE ADOPTED BY
TWO AMERICANS
tBy Tb. Associated -ress.,

Aloxandropol, Armenian So
Wet Republic, Dec. 1.-Two
Americans have become faith
crs by adoption of 1900
homeless Armenian orphans IN
this far-off city. Milton d.
Brown. Of Maiden, Mass, and
William Martin, of New York,
have adopted the waits on be-
half OF the American Near
East relief committee. The
young men, VINO have been
carrying on relief work in Ar
mcnia for many months, plan
to take some OF the children to
America and to have them edu-
Gated in American schools.
In a report to his organiza-
ton at Constantinopie, Brown
declares that Armenia faces the
worst winter within its history.
He says famine prevails every
where and that there is a serl-
Gus shortage of wood and fuel.
He declares that up to now the
bolsheviki have taken good
care OF the Armenians, but that
their resources are running
low and the Armenians must
turn to others for aid.
Brown says that peace and
order prevail throughout Ar
mcnia, and that the soviet
government undoubtedly saved
the country. 1t is protecting
the Armenian population from
the aggressions OF their an
cient masters, the Turks, and
the people are allowed to pur-
sue their chosen callings ul-
molestod. Embarrassed by war,
the people appear to be more
content than at any time In
recent history. For more than
a year now the population has
been spared massa cres at the
hands of the Turks, and the
country appears to have enter
ed upon a new era of pea2e and
quiet.
