She landed in Munich on the day of Hindenberg's funeral, to see a mil- lion, people swear allegiance to the new dictator, Hitler. She came to a large German city on the day the burgomaster was assassinated. She dlaims that sbe seriously considered wiring Mussolini to leave Italyý be- fore she -arrived. But nothing hàpý- pened to the iron man of Fascism. The former Russian Countess esti- mates tbat in ber recent lecture tour she addressed more than fifteen thou- sand people in a littie more than a week's time. Ia one day she made four separate addresses. She claims to have observed remarkable changes in Russia, her native land, since her visi .t two years ago when she was the. first, member of the old aristocracy, permitted to reenter, the land of Soviets.
