NUMBER Of British naval
officers, petty officers and
men have recently landed

4 ~ men have recently landed
at Portsmouth, England,
after being released from imprison-
ment by the Russian Bolshevists.
They had been in the hands of the
Soviet republic from the end of
April till the beginning of Novem-
Der. The London Times publishes
the following account of their ex-
periences, written by a member of
the party:
We arrived at Baku from Batum
On the afternoon of April 27, and
were met there by Major Rowan,
political officer, and Mr.. Hevelcke,
British Consul. We were on our
! way to Enzeli to join the Russian
fleet. At Baku it was explained to
US that Bolshevist troops from
Azerbaijan were nearing the town,
but that there was no immediate
danger. We considered the question
OF continuing our journey by sea,
but a boat could not be obtained.
The Governor Of Baku told US that
he was going to defend the town
to the last extremity.
We left detachment at the sta
tion to look after the truck which
held our stores, while our officers
went to try to get a permit from
the Governor to continue our Jour
ney. We wanted to get away in the
morning. A permit was obtained
that night, but on the return of our
officers to the station they were sur
rounded by Azerbaijan troops and
| hustled to a small waiting room. An
officer had already been placed in
charge of our train, and he told US
that the station was full of troops
and machine guns and that he did
not know what might happen at anv
| moment.
We were taken away to the ex-
traordinary commission and there
we were searched, all knives, razors.
scissors and so forth being taken
from US. We were put into one big
room, where there were about 800
other people of all sorts and descrip-
tions. This was an extremely filthy
place and we got no sleep all the
night. In the morning they gave us
a small piece of black bread to eat.
The next afternoon they told US
they were going to take us to nice
rooms in another place. We were
marched for about two miles under
a very hot sun, carrying all our
gear, and were finally incarcerated
in the Bailoff prison. There we were
put into three cells. These cells were
about II feet square, and twelve Of
uS were put in each. The prison was

I'm "a Rural Setting

There the students of the dance
Will live the life of healthy out-of-
door country girls through the sum-
mer. The farm will furnish them
with much of their food and the plan
IS to hold pageants and dances out
OF doors. The house itself is par
tlcularly adapted to the purposes
of the school, having two large halls
which lend themselves to the prac-
tlce dancing. Nine. Lubovska be-
heves in health as one of the pre-
requisites to good dancing. The
summers in the country will put her
pupils into splendid condition for
the fall season.
Society girls with a turn for
classic dancing have become inter
ested in the proposed national ballet
school. Many of them already have
shown themselves apt as amateurs
and in most cases their ambitions
Will not go further. Their interest
is bent on an Improvement, in dane
ing, and they believe that Americans
have enough originality to develop
their own school.
The patronesses of the American
ballet include Mrs. Fritz Achelis.

Mrs. Alexander's Support

among the well known New York
women who are interested in this
movement for school for American
dancers Mrs. John w. Alexander is
one of the first. In the light Of her
husbands belief in American artists
and their possibilities for being
trained in this country, it is not sur
prising to find Mrs. Alexander inter
ested in such movement as the Ma
tional American Ballet. The late
John ". Alexander, who for wears
was president of the National Acad-
envy Of Design, had ample opportu-
mites to compare the progress of ar
tistic development in this country
with that in other countries. What
he had to say on this subject was
almost prophetic of the belief which
his wife and other women interested
have in the ballet school.
America has national art" said
Mr.. Alexander. "The feeling in the
canvases produced by those of this
country prove this beyond doubt,
and the influence of foreign schools
chat was once so dominant in the
pictures made here is waning. Both
mem and women have seized upon the
vital points of American life and
are expressing their ideas IN a virile,
fresh manner that would be impos-
sible If they had not achieved a feel |
jng intensely one of their own en-
ironment brought forth by the life
n our cities and surrounding
country.

A National Ballet

"The purpose of the proposed Ma
tional American Ballet, Inc, is to
give to this country an institution
for the fostering, developing and
training of American students de-
voted to the art Of dancing. Such
an institution would be to America
what the imperial ballet was to old
Russia, and the National Ballet
movement is in Great Britain.
"The plan is to create in New
York City center where all Amer
lean students Of dancing may meet
for special training in various de-
partments Of the ballet. The organi-
zation will conduct q training school
where girls who give evidence of
talent will be accepted and trained
for public appearance.
"The departments Of dancing in
the school will consist Of: (A)
Greek, (B) Toe Ballet, (C) Classic,
(D) Folk, (E) Dramatic, interpreta-
tive, (F) Grecian Calisthenics and
Games, CO. Pantomime, (H) His
tory and Meaning Of Music, 1) De-
