K0RNIL0FF IS A BRAINY MAN
Noted Russian General Has at His
Finger-Ends the Literature of

Whntever may bo Bald or thought
of Kornlloff, there can bo no doubt
that he Is brilliantly clever, says n
correspondent. IIo might bo termed a
"self-mndo man." At the age of thir
teen iio was tending sheep on tho
Steppes; today, at forty-seven, ho hns
at his finger-ends tho literature of 15
countries nnd all manner of military
lore.
At one period of his meteoric career
he coinblnedwflic two Ill-matched pur
suits of sclonce nnd spying.
Though ho enn converge In 15 lan
guages, Kornlloff Is a great believer
In the maxim that "silence Is golden."
On one occnslon ho snld: "I nm a
lighting general, accustomed to net
nnd not to talk. In Petrogrnd most of
tho tlmo Is .spent tn tnlklng."
