Recent arrivals here from the Orient include Prof. A. Sklarevsky and his wife and three sons. After five years hemmed in at a small place near Moscow, suffering unbelievable hardships at the hand of the Bolshevists, often being for days in hiding, Mme. Sklarevsky worked her way west to Mukden, where her husband joined them and brought them to Canada. Mme. Sklarevsky, whose husband is a musician of distinction, walked hundreds of miles with her boys, taking months to go around Lake Baikal. At intervals' farmers would give them a lift and shelter during storms. The professor, at Mukden, did not let it be known that he was awaiting his family. He had not been allowed to enter Siberia. He was, however, able to get a letter to his wife through the courtesy of an American engineer who had been allowed to go to Moscow.
