BY MAJOR JAMOMIR SPACER, Military Aide at Washington Protestor T. Masaryk, Presi. dent of the Cxecho Slorak Republic WHETHER revolution torn Germany will finally sink down under a bolshevik regime or not, one thins; is certain, under the auspices, encouragement plots and financing rf Itniaer ruted Germany, Russia waa thrown to the tender, mercies of the bolshevi mob, who thereafter worked every hour and every day in the interests of Grr 1 many.

They were pro German through out. In the service of Germany, they disorganized the Russian army and destroyed Russian industry and agriculture. In the service of CeV many, they sent the Russian so', ment'a gold to the kaiser's agents. They fought every element that Was opposed to the kaiser and thalio why they sought to fight the Czechoslovaks. And their very armv.

Could any stronger proof be required to convince any sane man that the bolshevik regime was a pro German regime? POOR PEOPLE OF RUSSIA INCITED TO HATRED AGAINST ALL OTHERS. Owing to their neglected condition Under the old czarist regime, the mass of the peasants. With little or no education, kept in subjugation by the ministry, the military and the priests, had ihe'mbst primitive ideas about the function of government.

They were easily inflamed by pictures of a Utopia which could not possibly be realized. They were easily led to passionate hatred of not only the rich but of common men and women who had accumulated small homes and homestead by their labor. All that bolshevism accomplished, however, wa to bring on a state of anarchy and wholesale destruction and murder. Promised social reform in proprietorship of land and in Industry have resulted only in the destruction of factories and business and in the failure to cultivate vast reaches of land which formerly produced the food upon which Ruaaia lived. Factories were burned by mobs led by bolsheviks.

And even where land was divided among the mob, it wa impossible to work it because of lack of farm tool and machinery. Men who knew how to run factories to produce goods were either murdered or forced to conceal themselves. The peasants, who had owned their farms before the revolution, produced only enough food last summer to satisfy their own needs, because they knew the bolsheviki would confiscate their crops or pay for it in money that iaV a mere joke. After a year of unrestricted bolshevism the Russian country people can get no material for clothing and shoes, no manufactured goods of any kind, while in the cities the cry in agony for food. HOW RUSSIA WAS TURNED INTO A VAST SHAMBLES BY BOLSHEVIKI.

The leaders of the bolsheviks have blamed this condition of affairs upon "the sabotage of the bourgeoisie" (middle class.) Thus the passion of the disappointed mob turned 'away from their new ruleis and upon, those unable to end themselves. Only one class was tafc and that waa composed of the lowest and worst elements of society. There was danger in a clean collar or a decent appearance. Safely lay in. being dirty and unkempt, I am not referring merely to the danger to the so called upper class, the nobles, the rich landowners, the higher government official underTthe old regime, the army and navy officers.

They were either compelled to flee or hide or face death. They were beyond the pale of the law, which meant that anyone could kill them with impunity, under the pretext that they were dangerous, to the ruling powers or that they were counter revolutionist. Ruaaia was thus turned into a vast shambles. But was even as great danger to the so called "Bour geoisie" or middle class the professors, the skilled mechanics, the small merchants and shop keepers, the small land owning farmers, anybody who had a little prosperity. They were at' the mercy of any hoodlum or criminal who chanced to be in control of the local soviet Arbitrary arrest became the order of the day, followed by summary executions, a well as the official ones which occurred with armallino reeularitv and freauencv.

In the Crimea, in the Caucasus, in the territory of the Don Cossacks, at Moscow and other places the first class handed over to the mob were the former officers and the "intelligentsia" comprising the learned professions and public officer. At Odessa all the officers, particularly those of the fleet, were hunted down, dragged to the water front and thrown into the sea, first having had weight fastened to their feet to they could not swim. FOREST OF SWAYING BODIES IN THE DEPTHS OF ODESSA HARBOR. After the German took Odessa and restored some semblance of order, a woman whose two sons, former Russian naval officers, I had been thus drowned, desired to have their bodies recovered so she could give them Christian burial. She hired two divers to go to the bottom of the harbor.

One came up with his hair turned gray from what he found. The other came up, a mad I man, constantly muttering! "This is how they are swaying." HE TOLD OF A WHOLE FOREST OF CORPSES MOVING BACK AND FORTH IN THE CURRENT DOWN THERE. At Rostov on the Don, the bolsheviki shot all the students at the 1 high school because some of the students had joined Komilov's lorcc. 1 ne rnomers or some or me Doys inea to save mem ana were shot down, 'too. Those, who survived, published a pitiful protest in the newspapers.

For doing this, the editor were forced to autpend publication At Kiev, bolshevik patrola paced up and down the street and shot people who looked "suspicious' to them. Former army officers were 'shot down in open places outside the city by dozens aa if the were game birds. At Petrograd and Moscow the bolsheviks took especial glee in hunting and killing the to called "yunkers." These were the military cadets, the future officers of the army, who, as'a rule, were young student who had volunteered for one year's service. They were killed openly in the streets of Petrograd and their bodies tossed from the bridges into the city canals. BOLSHEVIKI MASSACRE WOMEN AND CHILDREN, JUST AS THE HUNS DID, When the railroad station at Yekaurinodar had been evacuated I by the Cossacks, the.

bolsHevikLamYed and. lulled several score ot women and children who were there wailing lor a train, oick or wounded soldier, who were undergoing treatment in various hospitals for disease or wounds contracted or received in the days when Russia fought Germany, were dragged out of their beds and shot in the street. Bolshevik soldiers exacted what they pleased alike from the rich and the small property holders. They took cattle from the landowner and supplies "from the shopkeepers. Employes and clerk were encouraged to demand from their employer so called "back pay" which wa really raise in pay for year ago that they, gave themselves.

If a man had been getting two dollars a day and estimated that he should have gotten ten, ha simply claimed" eight dollar per day back pay and the so called arbitration com' missions always granted his claim. The bolsheviki abolished existing court without replacing them with any other machinery for handing out real and orderly justice. This reign of terror, which still exists, was fomented, encouraged and paid for by German agents. It wa the central erapires which profited by it, while there Were ueh things as empires. In fact, bolshevism delayed, the inevitable fall of the Huns.

It delayed the inevitable victory of the allies. Bolshetisiif destroyed the last vestige of armed resistance to Germany on the Russian front. It demobilized the vast Russian) army and made it possible for Germany to concentrate its entire army in France. It negotiated the tfeacierous peace of BresU Litovsk 11. which, after some play acting, the bolsheviki practically turned over the crops and supplies of European Russia to the Germane, It frustrated every1 effort by suclV men as Alkseyev, Kornilovv Kalevif and Dutov to organize a new volunteer Russian army which would take the fie'd against the Cermans.

SHIPPED TRAINLOADS OF COLD FROM I RUSSIAN RESERVES TO BERLIN. It faciliated the removal of Russian wheat, oil and minerals to Germany and Austria, so that they could the better strike at the great western democracies. It forced Ukraine and Finland into an alliarce with Germany, to save themselves from the orgies of the bolsheviki and, of course, this helped Germany. Loudly proclaiming its principles of "no annexation and no indemnities," it yielded to the German all the Baltic provinces, practically w'thout reaiatance. And when it wa een that Germany was in danger of financial collapse, under' the pretense of paying the indemnities exacted under the Breat Litovtk treaty, the bolsheviki began the transportation of whole trains laden with the gold that formerly formed Russia' gold reserve.

Throughout its entire career the bolsheviki regime has worked in season and out for Germany and against not only the allies, against the real interests of Russia. This point should be con a stantly borne in mind by Americans. Russia real Russia, should be helped to it feet by the great democracies of the world, but the criminals who sold her and bound her and pillaged her to aid the two kaiser should be hunted into exile.
