 revolution in Russia which will dispose of the present Bolshevik re
 yime will fCllCw the dnevldable fctl
 ure of the proposed Russian econo- mic conference at the Hague, was the prophecy of Count Ilya Tolstoy, son of lthe late Court Leo Tc s:oy, the Russian author,a in an address here last might before the convcn- tion of the General Federation of WomenIs Clubs Inability to pay sol diers and other government em- Dloyees, who have not been paid for months will bring about the down
 lGl of the R7d government Count Tclsttoy declared,
 "The Bolshevttk leadcrs promised to return from the Genoa conference with money to pay the soldiers" Count Tolstoy said but they re turned em-ty- handed. Now they have one more bundle of hay to hold in front of tho starving horse-the Hague conference. But I am certain ahey wnl again be disappointed, and then thcrc may be a revolution. It Is difficult ito pr 1diot what form the rew government may take. The nlonar'chisnic party is very strongly organized, I ann sorry to say, and a revolution may ragalt in the setting I'D of a new mnnaroliy for a time. but am certain the. eventually there w,ll emerge fthe Unbted States of Rus gia! This is what hope for"
 The willingness oE British and oth- CT Eui'Crean statesmen to recognizei the BolAhevildi was deplorod by Count Tolstoy, who lauded the action of Secretary of State HughHs and the administration in withholding recog- ri1icn of ithe Bolsheviki "Recogni- tion would only rrolorg Russia s agony." he said The Russian ma lion belongs to the people which the present rudicrs do not represent. The BctsheNaki have net been elected or otherwise legally empowered or en- trusted With the disposal of Russian resources by the people. and they can offer flor sale only stolen prop eii.y which cannot be attractive to careful investors.
 'I am ofton asked what my father, Leo Tolsttoy. would have said about Bolshevism," said Count Tolstoy. ''The answer is given clearly in his teachings. He was opposed to all who wautcd to overthrow govern ments however despotic, by viol ence. The accumulated will of an enlightened peorle would eventually have OvertBhrown the despotfsm of the Romanoffs without violence and h'~ods,fed My father was a firm believer in the principle of passive rctatsnce, which is in accordance with the Iteachings of Chrst and of ail the greatest sages of the world. | Therefore atiOrt Bolshevism he would have said, 'th3s thing 6s born of war and evil and ibloodshed and no good can result from evil
