I'Latvia has ceased to be the sole gateway to Russia for in- vestigators from all over the world. Berlin i8 now the chief diving board for politiclans, educators, concession chasers and rellef workers who are about to plunge into red ' Russla. Many of them go by aeroplane, Some travel from Berlin to Moscow by way of Warsaw, and others enter through Finland and Esthonia, But most of the foreign visitors emerge from Rus- sian through Riga. They are Brit- ish, American and German, with a sprinking of Italian, Czechs and Scan- dinavians, . Visitors coming out of Moscow in breathless haste to tell the world “the real truth” about Russia are much surprised, frequently, to find that their hurried observations do not at- tract much attention. Since the begin- ning of international rellef work in famine-stricken Russla there has been such a large number of visitors that it is no novelty for Riga to have scores of passengers out of Russia in a single day, and diplomats and jour- nalists are well sated with the narra- tives of enthusiasts who expect the world to be surprised that they were not killed. It is no longer novel to hear that the opera in Moscow {8 the most “Wonderful in all the world”; that the soviet government is ‘more securely established than any in Europ that Moscow “is a safer place to be than New York city,” and that “illiteracy has been stamped out in the red army.” The statement that ‘‘perfect 1y clean sleeping cars are operated be- tween Moscow and Petrograd and be- tween Moscow and Riga,” also has lost its novelty. ' Correspondents who have been lis- tening for two years to the tales of visitors to Russia, who have spent a few days in the great Russian cities, know exactly what most of them will say. If they disclosed their sympathy with Bolshevism before they entered, they generally come out with words of high praise. If they were critical before they went in they are general- ly more critical when they come out. In other words, the week-enders in Russla generally have their minds made up before they go in, and their statements on emerging are about as monotonous as oft-repeated phono- graph rolls. Of course, there are many visitors to Russia who remain there for a con- siderable time and give thought and study to the situation. These usually have little to say whn they go in and less when they come out. They gen- erally are not in politics; they are not about to take the stump on the Rus- slan question, and they are not rush- ing into print with their views on every phase of the Russian situation. PABEREWSKL PAYS FOR HIS 0WN PERFORMANCE French Press Tells Story of How Years Ago Great Musician Was Expelled From Russia. Paris, Aug. 3—Ignace Jan Pader- ewski, the famous Polish planist and est welcomes accorded him since his return to the concert stage when he appeared before a Paris audience re- cently. Thousands of people throng- ed to see him pass on his way to the theater, and he was again besieged when the concert, a benefit affalr, was concluded. The French press retold at great length the story of how the noted art- ist was expelled from Russia years ago by Emperor Alexander III, after Paderewski had played before the court. “You are a great amtist, and an honor to Russia,” the emperor is re- ported to have said. “Pardon, your Majesty,” Paderewski. “To Poland.” The neyt day the planist received an order to leave Russia, and he had never returned since. The newspapers here also mention- ed the fact that on the day of his first concert, Paderewski drove to the theatre box office and purchased nearly a hundred seats at regular prices, which he distributed among his friends. His only request to the management was that he be glven a dressing room, so that he could let his hands soak in very hot water for half an hour be- fore the concert. He explained that he had found this the best way to meke them supple. PERSONALS Miss Helenn M.
