PRkQUE WELCOMES
 RUSSIAN STUDENTS. ID UNIVERSITIES
Large Colony of Young Men From Soviet Country Being
 Educated

PRAGUE, March 3O.-(By Mail to Associated Press. )--Tne government of Czechoslovakia has consistently pursued a policy of welcome to Rus sian imm grants. At the outset of its existence, four years ago, it de- termined upon the far sighted pro iect of providing as best it could, under the circum stances, for these refugees, and today it is giving posi- tive support and excellent educa- tional opportunities to an increas- ing number of Russian students. And at the same time it is witnessing the fruition of it's generosity.
 The government pays each Russian student from five to six hundred crowns a month and in addition pro- vides lodging in one of the Russian centers. There are three such large colonies of Russians in Prague, where more than two thousand men and three hundred women, both stu dents and professors, find comforta- ble shelter Married students as a rule live elsewhere, and consequently are given an extra allowance for living purposes Moreover there are numerous subsidized boarding houses where good food can be obtained at very low prices. This leaves each student with little pocket money, so that the Slavic desire to hear good music or to go occasionally to the opera can be reasonably satis- fled At the special agricultural schools. in the provinces, many of the students are lodged on farms so that they readily can get into touch with the practical end of their studies.

of their homeland. The presence of these, men, at the head of an army of 10000 skilled railroad men. which Czechoslovakia likewise has ready at a moments call, naturally signifies an enormous potential advantage. and shows that this Rovernm mt is not asleep to the possibility and inn portance of developing her eastern markets.
 It does not take shrewd observer to see that Czechoslovakia is build ing up an enormous amount of good will throughout Russia as well as with Russians temporarily abroad. Czechoslovakia is studying Russia from all points of view, and is be- coming well acquainted with the psy chology and temperament of the Russians, factors which play such an important part in any successful un dertaking with them. Her Russian policy seems to be both sound and sighted, no matter what the fu- ture may have in store for her.

THE GLORIOUS LADY"
 AT COLISEUM SATURDAY

It is not frequent that theater audiences arc furnished the tit-bit of seeing society people play roles in a picture play, but this is the case in Olive Thomas third Selznick Picture, "The Glorious Lady" which comes to the Coliseum Thoater Saturday.
 A feature of the play is an old-time stccplcchase, known as a point to point" race, an English classic that is foremost among tho events of each year. After an exhaustive search the Fairfax and Westchester Club. near he Rockefeller estate at Greenwich, Conn, was secured for the scene.
 The action of tho play is laid in England and the jumping course at the club fitted perfectly into the pic tpre. There is no spot more charac- teristically English in all this coun- try. The clubs grounds include lake, hills and a rolling country, as if they were providentially transplanted from Yorkshire itself.
 To feature thcm as contestants in the point to point" race, with Olive Thomas riding against them, mem- bers of the club were enlisted.

 But once war was declared Kitchin threw his support, wholelheartedly, into the fight, and crampioned every move by the government for victory.
