RUSSIAN EMIGRANTS.
LOCKING TO AUSTRALIA. LONDON, Feb. 13. Representatives of dispossessed Russian landowners and»non-Bolsheviks arc going to Australia to inquire into the prospects for land settlement, mining, and commerce, particularly in Queensland and West Australia.
Three of the leaders, interviewed, said that the prospect before Russia was such that they did not want to return. The alternatives were anarchical misgovernment or German dominance. They had heard alluring accounts of Australia, and proposed to settle co-operatively, bringing their families and relatives. It is estimated that if the arrangements are satisfactory, a thousand families of former landowners of the best educated class will desire to emigrate. Those interviewed were mentally and physically of the highest quality. They speak good English.
