RUSSIAN GENERAL
 JOINS MONASTERY
Y. 1. KarpOf Formerly Headed
 Marshal Chans's Army

Peiping, Sept. 19 P-General V. I. Karpoff, one-time commander of the Chinese military forces at Tienr- sin under the late Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, has abandoned his militar- career to become a monk.
 Seven years ago Karpoff was one Of the leaders of the anti-communist movement in Siberia, a staunch sup porter of both Ataman Dutoff and Admiral kolchak. Before the revc- lution, he was the managing direc- tor of the czar's bank at Orenburg, a position be obtained through the influence of his father-in-law Count Volkonsky, then minister Of educa- ton to the czar.
 In 1925, Karpoff left Russia with a price of half a million rubles' on his head. He sought refuge in Harbin, went U work for the Chinese Eastern railway under an assumed name, and later joined Marshal Chang Tso-Lin's army with the rank of colonel. A year later. he was made a general and given command of the Tientsin garrison.
 Unlike many of his white Russian comrades in China, Karpoff prosper ed. He was a Russian war lord in a Chinese city and the revenue was large. But it didn't last. When the nationalist army took Peiping in 1928 Karpoff's little fortune disap- peared.
 Returning to Maachuria, he ob- tained a position as adviser to the Japanese military forces in China which he held until the death of his wife a few months ago. Heart broken over her demise his health broke down and recently he jour neyed to Peiping and entered the monastery of the Russian Orthodox mission, a remnant of the old Russian church.
 In entering the monastery karpoff left his 17 year old son. Alexis to shift for himself. The boy recently obtained a position as reporter on an American daily in Shanghai.
