Everybody seems to be working In s muddle of unsorted papers ' and clg&ret ends, This, again, is a state of affairs no counter-revoluticould change. It la inherent in the present Russian situation. If one of these military adventurers of the Vudenttch or Deniklne type were, by some disastrous accident, to get control of Russia, his success would only add strong drink, embezzlement, and a great squalor complication. For whatever elge we may say to the discredit of the bolsheviat leaders, it is undeniable that the great majority lead not simply laborious, but puritanical. Uvea Inefficiency Rons Riot. I writs of this general inefficiency In Russia with, the more asperity because it was the cause of my not meeting Lu About eighty hours of my nacharsky. life were consumed in traveling, telephoning and waiting about in order to talk for about an hour and a half with Lenlne and for the same time pith Tchitcherin. At that rate, and in view of the intermittent boat service from Reval to Stockholm, to see Lunacharsky would havs meant at least s week more in Russia. The whole of my visit to Moscow was muddled in the most irritating fashion. A sailor man carrying a silver kettle who did not know his way about Moscow was put In charge of my Journey, - and an American Who did not know- enough Russian to telephone freely was set to make my appointments in the town. Al though I had heard Gorky arrange for my meeting with Lenlne by long distance telephone days before, Moscqat declared that tt bad bad no notice of my1 coming. was' put tnto the wrong train Finally back to Petersburg, a train' which took twenty-fou- r hours instead of fourteen for the Journey.
