| To begin with, he was utterly out OF

was by nature inclined to be sensitive

were fighting as volunteers in the

There is no need to recount the

Sixte de Bourbon. The facts are suffi-

TIE Germans are beginning TO
calculate prices in foreign cur
rencies and IN the real values
OF goods. In Brandenburg recently
there have been several real estate
transactions in which rye was the
medium of exchange. A large es-
tate changed hands with payment
in marks at the market price of
rye. Another tenant leased a hunt
ing lodge, agreeing to pay yearly
over period OF seven years the
equivalent of 80 hundredweight of
rye. The de luxe tourist shops in
the large cities have begun charg-
ing an extra price in selling TO for
eisners, some figuring their charges
in terms of foreign exchange.

Of that country. Along the valley of
the Volga, with it's population Of
25,O00.000. there was state OF famine
more frightful than anything / have
seen in the world. Great numbers Of
those poor Russian peasants. with
their women and children, whom / saw
in villages along the river banks and
across the snow fields. must now be
dead.
But help from America and Great
Britain has gone out to that region of
hunger and pestilence, and though.
many more will die before the next
harvest time yet others will live and
reap the harvests. unless another
drought comes to destroy them. My
inquiries and much information that i
obtained from trustworthy sources
proved to me that along this Volga
valley. which was the great granary of
central Europe. at least half the nor
NAL amount of seed corn was planted
last autumn. Apart from another
thought-which God forbid! sur
vivors of the famine will be able to
maintain themselves on their own sup
plies II they can only scrape through
these intervening months.
Next year it is possible that Russia
will again produce a surplus Of grain
sufficient for export to Germany and
other countries. Russia will produce
this year and next an immense amount
OF flax. That country also has IN
natural wealth vast forests Of timber,
considerable supplies OF oil and enor-
NOUS mineral resources still for the
most part undeveloped At the pres
ent time industry in Russia is practi-
cally at a standstilI and only a few
factories are working in Petrograd
and Moscow. This was due to the
breakdown of machinery, the impossi-
bility of renewing plants and the star
vation OF factory hands.
Russia Needs Credit.
In actual money the Russian Gov
ernment is bankrupt, According to
good information I received. the Rus
sian treasury contained no more than
t12,000.000 to $4,000 900 of gold I'D to
last December, and some of that has
now been paid TO Germany for rail-
way engines. of which 500 are to be
supplied under special contract. 1t
is perfectly certain to my mind that
Russia. which needs everything In the
way of manufactured articles and Is
therefore an enormous market for
goods Of that kind. cannot pay cash
down. She must have long credit on
internal securities and undeveloped
wealth. That is what Germany Is pre-
pared to give. and that is what all
other nations must be ready to give,
thinking not of immediate gain but
future trade.
Germany is already sending into
Russia engineers, mining experts fac
tory managers, scientists and organiz-
ers of all kinds. In ten years time
Germany will have helped Russia to
stagger up again, TO restart her fac
tories, TO develop her potential wealth.
And Germany will not lose by this
enterprise and foresight. From the
economic point Of view this recon
struction of Russia will be of benefit
TO the whole world. including the

World Will Accept Spiritualism

spiritualism viii sweep the world
and psychic phenomena win be a
commonly accepted fact by 1897. Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle predicted last
night at the National, rheater. In a
lecture illustrated by spirit photo
graphs, he said:
Its development has become very
rapid now. Recently ] have observed
great change in the attitude both
of the public and of the press; the
diffusion of knowledge concerning
phychic phenomena and its mani
festations has spread enormously,
and i should not be surprised to see
it's general acceptance within five
years"
Sir Arthur said that the world has
been absolutely stupid" not TO ac-
cept II before. Mediums are work
ing on the other side Of the veil as
we'll as I'm the material world, assist

He described ectoplasm as the link
between the material and the spir-
itual world. II is shown In his pic.
lures as a mucoid substance emanat-
ing from the medium and materializ-
ing into spirit forms of dead and
identifiable persons. He said that
light dissipates estoplasm and that
mediums had been seriously injured
by amateur detectives" who had
flashed lights In rooms where II was
being produced.
.Sonie one is going to be killed
some day by this sort of work." he
said.
Sir Arthur, declared that the mir
acles of the Bible were produced by
means of spiritual phenomena and
he predicted that eventually every
church will have its medium.
