Bolsheviki s Most Powerful organ

Stockholm, Sept o-The Soviet Re-
public has not realized the ideals Of Rus
sian women. and they are playing an
| important part IN Fastening its end.
Their influence in this connection is being
cxcrted even more powerfully than IT was
in bringing the dictatorship of the prolc-
tarlat INTO existence Evidence Of this
has been observed by the writer who came
who reached Haparanda, Sweden last
week
Maria Spirldorovo probably was the
u ost powerful leader IN the establishment
% thel8oshevik power. As the recognized
spokesman of the peasants, forming 81
per cent of the Russian population, she
swung the peasant strength INTO line and
persuaded the Social Revolutionarics Of
the left To JOIN the BolshevikI. On July 4
eight months later. she delivered
startling speech of defiance To German
OPPRESSION which resulted in the as
sasSination of Count Won Mlrbach, Ger
man ambassador To Russia and announced
that the Social Revolutionarles Of the
left would make bitter war on the Boil
sheviki Several prominent officials have
been slain since Mile Spirldonovo's dec
laratIon, and now Nlkolai Lenine, idol
of the Bolshcviki, lies badly wounded (or
dead by the shots fired by Russian
woman, Dora kaplan. a Social Revolu-
tionist. who said she placed her life in
jeopardy to save Russia and believed this
could be realized only through con
stituent assembly

the latter medical student Both are
about 30 years Of age Until late III June.
Mile. Spiridonovo was the most effective
speaker and organizer for the Bolshevlki
She did not favor the Brest-LItovsk

BOLSHEyIK is CRAZED
WITH MURDER LUST

Stockholm. Sunday, Sept S Russia
is suffering the consequences Of class
hatred in its most violent expression.
Human life hasost all value and foreigners
and Russians alike are at the mercy of
officials who kill without trial
Such were the conditions, at any rate,
when The Associated Press correspondent
at Moscow left Russia recently and
travelled hence with the party of Amcri-
can refugees that has arrived here.
Since War Minister Trotzky provoked
the Czecho-Slovak opposition by breaking
his pledge to Let the Czccho-Slovaks
leave Russia IN peace. the class hatred
upon which Bolshcvism Is based has
revealed itself in its full horror Before
the Social Revolutionists broke with the

Entente movements from Archangcl and
