lection of courage, gall and determination.
His partner Nicolai Lenine, is the acme
of genius With such a combination IN
smooth working order, the United States
and the European nations will have dlt-
fic,lIt time in regaining their property IN
Russia, or IN opening up the country tor
her imports and utilizing the boundless
national resources contained IN Russia.
These are some of the observations
made by Commissioner Henry ". Mapp
OF the British Salvation Army, who came
To New York recently after close view
Of the Bolshevik regime IN Pctrograd,
where he went to spread the Salvation
Army gospel He encountered Trotzky
and Ienine several tunes, and saw on
everv side the ruthless destruction OF the
Bolshcviki.
SAVED THE ALLIES
Only the Russian revolution, SAID MIR.
Mapp, prevented the total destruction
and downfall of the Allies. For, although
the present situation IN Rtlssiais thought
by many To be the worst that could bctall
the Allies, according to MIR. Mapp, II can
not be even compared with that under
the c.ar. Ono of the greatest victories
of the war for the Allies was the over
throw Of the czar and his traitorouS court,
MIR. Mapp declared.
Under the czar the Salvation Army
had been kept out of RUSSIA IN spite
of repeated attempts to spread ITS gospel
in that country, but when the Rcvolu-
tionists came In power religious freedom
was established. Commissioner Mapp
arrived In Petrograd in May, 1917 lie
Is an EngliShman, about fifty years old,
He had established Salvation Army ms
SONS In thirty different nations, and for
that reason he was sent to Russia. Nuhln
few weeks he will take charge oi tho
Salvation Army work among the troops
IN France
Early in the spring Of this wear MIR.
Mapp left Russia for conference with
Gen Booth in London regarding an
enlargement Of the work IN Russia
Soon after he reached petrograd MIR.
Mapp had an interview with Trotzky-
He explained that because the British
government WAS holding two so-callcd
eminent BolsheyistS. Trotzky was get
ting revenge by refusing any British IN
Pctrograd the right 10 leave the country.
Irotzky called them hostages.
"EvEN WORSE TO rEH RRtrisHrRs
When | demonstrated with Trotsky
about his treatment OF the British he got
mad and said les, and II do even worse
TO the Britishcrs Then | realized that
fMther appeal was useless. and started
to tell him something about the Salvation
Army and it's work Irotzky said he re-
called something about it, having been

With misnn work Mir Mapp answered
"Then | don't want 10 have anything

"By the WAY, what y your policy
Mr., Mapp asked,
ITO lift up the poor ard oppressed
Then MIR Mapp told Trotzky Of tho
place God held in the salvation Army
gospel.
'ln our program there rs no place for
God or religions - goodbye, comrado,
sand Trot,ky, with q wave Of his arm
HUMAN LIFE NOTHING TO HIM
THAT will show YOU something If
sioner Mapp said sadly Later, we'll
known rabbi pleaded with Trotaky to halt
the horrible EsassacrcS going on IN the
streets. Trotzky admitted the truth Of
What the rabbi said about the atrocities,
and added
"lf my men and have 70 wade through
MYERS Of blood 10 do IT VIC intend to at
tain our object .
Mr.. Mapp described Ienine as quite
retiring; that IenIDe makes the shot and
TrOtzky fires IT.
"Trotzky has no love for Russia.
Mr. Mapp said "And IN spite OF all
that has been said do not think he has
any especial love for Germany or the
Kaiser. | am cOnvin ed, however that he
dearly loves himself Trotzky Is a man Of
great ambition;eh is most greedy.
CALLS KERENsKY TRAITOR.
"The Revolutionary government was
out for the emancipation of Russia from
all those dark and hideous powers that
had shackled her for centuries But
through the trcachery OF Trotzky. Lenine,
and later kerensky this government was
overthrown and turned over 20 the central
powers. The people in Russia no longer
can bca$ 10 hear kerenskys name It is
thought that he was able to escape from
the Russia he had betrayed to the Bolshe-
vists through German connivance
If any man in Russia was responsible
for her present decentralization II was
kerensky,' Mr.. Mapp asserted vehe-
mentIy. And his only object IN trying
to reach this country was to start more
mischief to aid Germany.
When the Revolutionary government
was defeated, Mr.. Mapp explained, Ger
many sought about for other leaders and
selected Trotzky and Lenine. These two
able fellows, however, consented only
when millions of dollars were turned over
10 them. At this time. too they were
able 10 seize for themselves anything
they coveted and say that il belonged
to the Bolshevik government.
TOOLS OF GERMANY
Having struck satisfactory bargain
with Germany, Trot2kv and his aide.
Denlne, proceeded TO carry out their share
OF the agreement On account of the
recent revolution Russia was in a ter
ribiy mangled state and did not know
anything Of what was passing through the
country. SO when Ir0tzkv and Leniue
proclaimed themselves the leaders the
ignorant noujlks failed to perceive other
wise and rallied about the Bolsheyist
standard
II was simple matter, Mr.. Mapp
