roLsroY LECTURES IN KANSAS
Son of Russian Author Censures Boil
shevism in Talk Mt LeavenwOrth.

Leavenworth. Kan, March q
Count Ilya Tolstoy. son of Leo Toll
stoy, the Russian philosopher and au-
thor, censured holshevism and pre-
dicted its downfall before the end of
next summer in an address before the
Women's club of Fort Leavenworth-
The bolsheyiki have put Russia
on the dissecting table, and expert
mented in communism and cut the
body to pieces" he said. Russia is
bleeding now. and the bolsheviki say
they are sorry and that they have
made 4 mistake. The overthrow must
come soon-sooner than we expect.
After this a constituent assembly may
be elected and all the states, except
Poland, united"
Count Tolstoy discouraged the idea
OF immediate resumption of trade re-
lations with Russia, saying she had
nothing to sell and nothing with which
to buy. He predicted normal trade
could never be resumed until the fall
of the bolshevist regime.

Send Telegram to Cappcr.


A telegram has been sent to Senator
Arthur Capper by Frank Z. Samuel,
adjutant of the state department of
the American Legion, declaring that
the Kansas members of the legion are

motion was denied once before, and
is again before the United States SEN
ate for confirmation.
The telegram was as follows:

own babies.
They were strangers to her practically

dies" Charles Kingston tells how ouce
an elderly physician ventured TO sng-
gcst TO the emperor that if Elizabeth
saw something of her children she might
awaken out of the melancholy trance
into which she had fallen.
For q time Francis Joseph angrily
declined to vary the rigid rule which
required her to give notice OF her in
tention TO the chamberlain.
Even when the visit took place, il
was not case of happy little children
welcoming their mother with cries of
delight. First the royal governesses
