SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 25.-"The
Bolsheviki have promised the Russian
people peace and bread. but have

hon, an officer of the Russian army

The dissatisfaction with the

has convinced me that the sentiment
of the Russian people is unanimous
against the present leaders and the
hopes of the people are for the sue

will not be with Bolsheviki rule.
In Siberia the Bolsheviki have
