A RAY OF HOPE
MOSCOW; April 19. As similar sentences have been previously occasionally commuted, there is a ray"of hope that Messrs. Thornton's and Mac Donald's appeal will bo suc-J cessful. The deportees consider it inadvisable at present to comment on the trial, but they arc deeply affected by / tho sentences imposed on their comrades. Madame Litvinoff tonight gave a dance, to which diplomatic and Press representatives were invited. This action is construed as an indication that the authorities arc anxious io resume friendly relations with foreigners after the strained situation at the trial, when many Russian's refused to shako hands with foreign friends for fear of becoming involved with "British spies.''
