nate brother. He led the hunters a
merry chase through a portion sbf
Chester county, Pa. and did not
slow down until he lost the dogs in
the vicinity of Guyencourt. after
what was possibly a more exciting
chase than the first one. In running

country riding OF about 20 miles

The Artist Series lecture given by
Count Tolstoi was very interesting,
both because Of the lecturer himself
and his subject. Russia at present
is rather an unknown quantity
Count Tolstoi gave some light on
very old nation when Europe was
in a state OF savagery, Russia had n
kind OF civilization. But Russias
civilization was an Eastern civiliza-
tion. European civilization is not a
national growth in Russia but was
grated on Russia. The two classes
which are the backbone OF Russia
are the intelligensia and the peasant
farmers. The intelligensia are the
people who think. They are described
by a business man as very nice peo-
pie but no good in business" The
period just before the war, was the
golden age OF Russia. in this time
the great authors, the great mission
aries. the great scientists lived in
Russia. This period showed what
Russia is capable OF doing. The class
which brought Russia under Boil
shevik rule was the proletariat OF
the cities.
Bolshevism has failed completely
The leaders already are realizing H.
They are asking Russian business
men now in exile to come back and
reorganize the business OF Russia
again. The outlook in Russia now
is dark but will brighten. There is
great hope for the future OF Russia.

tribute to his illustrious father
