Considerable debate was evoked by

Hebrew be the sole language in

DVINA PEASANTS
ASK AMERICANS
TO AID THEM FROM
The BOLSHEVIKS

Archangel, Oct. 19.-(Correspond-
ence Associated Press) .-Abject ter
ror that the Bolsheviks are coming
back to kill and rob reigns in the
hearts Of the peasants in many little
villages on the banks of the Dvina
river back of the allied lines. The
correspondent, who has just return
ed from the Dvina front, found the
peasantry full OF hatred for the
Bolsheviks but afraid to fight. In
many places they have already seen
their friends shot and bayoneted or
brutally killed by slow torturing
methods when suspected of aiding
the allies.
In one little village, it was related
to the correspondent, Bolsheviks
compelled three peasants to dig their
own graves and jump into them to
"try them OUT. The peasants were
shot a moment later. This was done
the people charge, by white guards.
In another village the people were
warned by a Bolshevik spy that they
would be killed if they furnished
horses to aid the American trans
port, and two days later the Boil
sheviks were able to keep their
promise to be back in the village
within 48 hours.
These peasants say they are the
real Russian people and they want
the allies to send sufficient forces TO
guarantee speedy end to the reign
OF terror by the Bolsheviks whom
the peasants regard as fanaticaI
