Hessen, a well-known Moscow journalist and member of the second Duma who has arrived in Copenhagen after a long stay in Pet rograd. The mental state produced by starvation, disease and nervous strain, he says, forces Russians to lose their mental balance. "Their mental condition so changes their appearance that often one can not recognize one's nearest friend. I remember the impression J had when I met the well-known lawyer, Rajeffski. At fisst X did not recognize him. Soon afterward I learned that he had hanged himself. "Similar things happen daily. I think it is to be wondered that such suicides do not become general. In all the streets one meets still well dressed people, men and women, beg ging. There they stand some of them with their heads down, dumb as if turned to stone; others tonelessly re peating "I am dying. Give me some thing to eat."

June 27.—An Indication of the tendency of the military influ ence in Japan to work more closely in harmony with the civic elements in the Japanese government is seen | in the recent appointment of Baron Gonsuke Hayashi, former Minister to Italy and China, as Governor Gen eral of the Kwantung District in Southern Manchuria.
