for Intrigue, a Tangle of Dictatorships, "Europe in review" as outlined this morning by Mrs. Caroline J. Longyear of Lansing, "is a complicated snarl of dictatorships, democracies, and intrigues." Speaking before the American Association of University Women, she prophesied some decided changes in the situation within a few months. Mrs. Longyear took up in turn the "hot spots" of the eastern hemisphere, which she stated are now Germany and Outer Mongolia.

Germany is definitely seeking to take Austria, then Hungary, the smaller states, she asserted, and in this regard Austria is one of the focal points of Europe, and its events have marked effect on the outcome of European politics, she stated. Outer Mongolia, in its turn, is the key state through Japan hopes to penetrate to Siberia, there cut off the Russian railroad and push Russia off the Pacific. Mrs. Longyear said Europe is now composed of six major powers, three of them, Great Britain, France, Russia, contented as their affairs now stand, and the other three, Germany, Italy and stupidity of the arisocrats is not recognizing the very human claims of the Russian masses early enough to prevent the bloody revolution. In present day Russia, she finds that progress is being made along three lines, education, industrialization and invention, and religious toleranonclusion, the countess said that present-day Russia is by no means perfect, it is not a Utopia, it is an experiment in the making.

What the world needs, she said, is understanding, and with understanding hatred and pettiness will go and friendliness and peace will come.

THE ENQUIRER AND EVENING NEWS BATTLE CREEK, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1936 TELLS OF RUSSIAN LIFE Says Religious Tolerance Growing and Present Russia Is an Experiment. BACKGROUND IS TRACED Countess Irina Skariatina gave a brilliant, informative lecture at W.

K. Kellogg auditorium last night in the fifth of the World-At-OurDoor series sponsored by the Battle Creek Teachers' club. She spoke of her background in Imperial Russia, her experience during the revolution and of conditions as she finds them in the Union of Socialist Republics. The countess, at the beginning of her talk, identified herself to her audience. She explained that her mother was Princess LobanovRostovsky and that her father was General Vladimir Ekariatina of the imperial army, both of them dyedin-the-wool imperialist conservatives.

Her mother, she said, died as the result of repeated imprisonment following the revolution, and her father was killed expressing too insistently his political convictions. She herself was married on command of her mother at the age of 17 to Count Keller. A divorce followed when she was 20, and by imperial dispensation she was permitted to assume her family name in connection with that of her divorced husband. She thus became known as Countess Irina Vladimorivna Keller-Skariatina. Her own liberal views she attributes to three teachers of her childhood, who showed her the fallacy of the Russian class system, and the living conditions of the peasants and workers.

Brewing for 300 Years Countess Skariatina declared that the revolution did not happen in 1917 out of a clear sky. It was brewing for over 300 years, and for the audience she traced this growing tendency. She painted Peter the Great as being the great revolutionary of his day, who married and placed on the throne a peasant woman, emancipated the women of Russia, made the boyars shave their beards and introduced western ideas into the Rusian life. Continuing to trace the revolutionary movement, the countess described the activities of students in spreading the doctrine of freedom. She said that prior to 1917 personal lives were happy, but that the political life of the country was extremely unhappy.

The period of disquiet before the outbreak included such incidents as the assassination of Alexander IT and of the Grand Duke Serge, attempts the life of Alexander III, the dissatisfaction that followed the defeat of the Russians in their unfortunate with Japan which nobody wanted, the horrible Jewish pogroms and then the event of January 9, 1905. known to history as Bloody Sunday, when over 200 workers, headed by a priest, marched to the winter palace square an effort to confer with the czar, were fired on by the guards and killed. She also described the "illuminations" or burning of country estates that were common during this time. Marked Imperial End As far as the workers were concerned. the countess said, Bloody Sunday was the end of imperial Russia.

She pointed out that the wave of patriotism that swept the country at the beginning of the war in 1914 was soon turned into despair by the repeated defeats of Russian arms. From then on the revolutionary momentum grew until the outbreak in 1917. The shots that killed Rasputin, she declared, were the first fired in the revolution. But this revolution was really quite expected, she said. It was the second revolution which swept the Bolsheviks, headed by Lenin, into power that stunned everyone.

Their success she attributes to their complete unity, with all their efforts centered about their leader, Lenin. And their continued success she declares is due to their constant fight against counter-revolution, even to this day. Countess Skariatina decries the SCIENTIFIC REPORT FAVORS BRAN Relieves Common Safely Read this statement, taken from an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, pages 133-134, 1932: "The inclusion in the diet of a small portion of bran would seem a very practical way of getting fiber which is not likely to be disintegrated. This bran has the advantage of furnishing a considerable amount of vitamin and of readily available iron." Exhaustive tests, over a period of five years, have proved Kellogg's ALL- BRAN to be a safe, effective way to correct constipation due to insufficient "bulk" or fiber in meals. It is accepted by the American Medical Association Committee on Foods for this purpose.

You will enjoy this pleasant way to prevent the dangers of constipation. You can eat Kellogg's ALLBRAN as a cereal with milk or cream. Or cook into delicious breads and muffins. Usually two tablespoonfuls apiece daily are enough to protect your family from common Serve ALL-BRAN regularly for regu- AMERICAN larity. Sold by all MEDICAL grocers.

Longyear explained the various hostile factions at work in Austria, which make its future uncertain, and also went into detail in an explanation of the French political picture, considered by many unstable, but thoroughly in accordance with the nature of the Frenchman, she pointed out. On the other hand, the security of France, the strongest nation in Europe after the World war, is now challenged, and many groups of people within the country are demanding a stronger government. Mrs. Longyear's talk this morning, given in the social room of W. K.
