LITTLE WANDERERS.
' Though any part of tho world can now speak to any other part in a few minutes it is still difficult to know of the real condition of tho peoplo in some countries, including Russia.
The Eussians have perfected their means of making the best of themselves to visitors who enter their country by permission and are shown round; while on the other hand pooplo who detest the tyrannies and falsities of Bolshevism often make the worst of everything Russian. Between tho two the ■truth is hard to find.
Among the most serious of Russia's -problems—perhaps tho most serious except tho universal loss of liberty—is the state of her homeless children. War and famino left Russia with millions of children .who were orphans or were lost to their families. Five years ago seven millions wore still registered as needing ■ care, and much the larger part of them were unsettled wanderers.
Many of these wandering Russian children live by begging, sleep out, and move south or north according to the season. .■_ ' .
