LONDON--Paul Biroukov, friend and biographer of Tolstoi, has published in the British press an appeal to English workers to help Russia, which is perishing from hunger. In the name of the disciples of Tolstoi, Biroukov pleads with the workers to realize that it is the entente and not the soviet that has caused the present state of Russia, and that the treaty of Brest-Litovsk was an act of unparalleled heroism to save the country. "You were asked to make peace with us," he says. "You answered with a grim silence. We have asked peace of you constantly, and you reply with tanks."
