HERE'S THE FIRST INSIDE
STORY OF SIBERIA REVOLT
Returned Exile Says Only Religious Reformation.
Supplementing Revolution, Can Complete
Russias Freedom

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Jan. i6.-Here
Is news by word OF mouth from the
heart Of blackest, Siberia
Here is your first chance to learn,
from the lips Of one whose eyes Saw
It and whose flesh endured it, the in
side story OF Siberian prison slavery
and the stirring scenes when Siberia's
exiles were liberated by the Russian
reyolutionists.
It's like this:
Ivan Neprash was a prisoner in 81
IBERIA for two years. He has just
brought TO America the story Of his
experiences, being the first man from
the heart OF "the dreadful land TO
reach the United States since the Rus
sian revolution began.
He told me what he saw, felt, heard
and thought, not only about Russia's
greatest cancer, the Siberian sore, but
also about Russias chance for healing
and for new life.
Also-about all his vivid word pic
lures OF Russa's skeleton closet rings
out this important message, one Of the
most mOmentOus TO come TO the world
since the news Of Gar Nicholas abdi-
cation:
"a religious revolution must follow
Russia's political upheayal TO complete
Is promise Of freedom, for the people
and to make Russia really and perma-
nently free"
Apparently, in Russia, as in France,
reactlonary clergy and reactionary
state hourished together and must fall
together.
Ivan Neprash Is a pastor Of the Bap-
list church in Russia. His crime
consisted in secretly preaching the g0s-
pei Of the brotherhood Of man after
the Russian state church had succeeded
In placing a ban upon the sect. For
that he was sent TO Narim, a Siberian
political penal camp, for two years, to-
gether with ffty-two others Of his
creed
lie returned to Petrograd with the
great exodus of Siberian eXiles liber-
ated by the revolution, and Is now gath
ering funds in the United states to as
sist Russian prisoners In Germany.
Neprash, a mild little man, painted
Siberian slavery and Russian revolt for
ME in terse, biting sentences like these:
