RUSSIAN WOMEN
LEARN TO TRANSLATE

Moscow. Sept. 2S.-Higher education
having been the privilege OF the com
paratively well-to-do in Russia, the
offices of the American relief admins.
tration here are crowded with prin
cesses and an occasional countess
For the a r. A. needed a numerous
staff of translators and found them
among the educated young women OF
the city. many of whom were adorned
with titles.
They did well, for the English gov.
ernesses who went out to Russia in
the old days before the war were con,
scientious young women, and worked
hard. But a translator often has his
own point of view as what is worth
trauslating, and sometimes also are
amusing errors.
One young woman, countess,
whose duty it was to translate the
Moscow papers, invariably added a
list of the current theatrical enter
tainments. Based on her previous
training this was her idea of real
news. One OF her notes recorded that
THE Shaver OF Seville" would be
given in Moscow that night.

ART TREASUR RES
Of RUSSIA GUARDED
WITH c REAL CARE
GALLERIES EXIST TODAY WITH
AL THEIR PRE-WAR MANlFl-
cENcE DUE TO SOVIET PRoTEc-
TIoN.

Petrograd, Sept. 2S.-The Hermit
tage. one of the greatest art CALLER
iesSin the world, exist today in all It's
magnifcence as a svisible refutatloh
NOT. only of rumors that Russias mn
est paintings had been destroyed or
stolen during the revolution, out oil
those adventurers who occasionally
have peddled in New York and Paris
supposedly original paintings from
its collection.
Small groups of school children pi'
loted through the galleries by teach
ers: a few students, occasional probe
tartan enthusiasts, and now aud then
a foreigner who strays into Petro-
grad are about the only visitors TO
the galleries and they seem lost in
ftsl SPACIOUS rooms. But the great
paintings still are on the splendid
walls: the rare porcelains and Greek
vases of priceless antiquity are sui
in their glass cabinets; the marble
ststues brought from the ends OF the
earth still stand on their pedestals,
the unrivailed collections of old coins,
Egyptian scarabs and countless other
art objects are still in their carefully
numbered trays, and the mummies
still lie in their sarcophagi, grim and
grinning despite the latest revolution
that has passed over their heads.
The winter palace, adjoining the
Hermitage, still bears marks of the
Smelling and machine cunning it suf-
fered during the early days of the
Bolshevik coup d'etat, but the build
ing housing the valuable art collec-
lions has been spared even these
marks of battle. Its exterior walls
are red and smooth, the ten gigantic
Atantes in Finnish marble huge,
naked Herculi twenty feet tall and
each carved from single block OF
granite--hold up its portico in lieu
of pillars and are as smooth and glis-
tening as the day they were placed
there in 1852, although the square
that fronts them has been the scene
of much hard fighting
Immediately after the Bolsheviki
won control. special guards were plac-
ed about the Hermitage and it was
saved from looting. The already
priceless collections are being aug
mented today by the most valuable
of the objects of art confiscated by
the government from private persons
during the early days of the revolu-
tion.
In paintings the Hermitage ranks
with the Louvre in Paris and the fa-
NOUS galleries of Spain and Italy. The
Dutch and Flemish pictures are more
numerous and more valuable than are
the collections in Holland and Bel
GUM.
In all there are more than 1000
paintings, each OF which is worth a
small fortune, and there are besides
100000 .engravings and 10000 draw
ings. each so valuable that it merits
careful preservation for posterity.
Most of Petrograd's other famous
art galleries and museums, which al
so are again being opened to the pub
lie, prove, like the Hermitage, to be
intact. The same is true Of Moscow
and other principal Russian cities,
where the Soviet government. like
the regime of the car, has jealousy
