Referring to hi.s recent trip along th<
Silebrian coast Swenson states thal
the Russian government is drafting
the traders along the entire coast and
numbers of fiten are departing from
all points, bound for the war zone
Respecting the attitude of the Siber
ian Russians toward the war, Mr
Swenson says there is a a completi
change from the general enthusiasm
of last year. The optimism encoun
tered last season has now given waj
to a sort of stolid indifference which
is not without a tinge of disquietude
They still believe that Russia wil!
win lint are commencing to recognize
that they themselves may become thr
victims of the fearful conflict befort
it is over—and the prospect Is not
pleasing. None are unwilling to an
swer the call but are commencing tc
realize that the war is a greater thing
than was previously imagined.
