- Straight to the United States sem
ate, Madame Botchkarova, the leader
OF the Russian battalion OF death. car
ried her plea for Russia last Monday
She spoke to a number Of senators In
the marble room. and said to them:
Russia can be saved. Sending lOO.-
900 allied troops into Siberia would
rouse the peasants TO fight for free
dom. More than 100000 Russian
troops would spring to arms" The
fearless woman leader was wearing
khaki uniform. her sword dangling at
her side. Her decorations blazing up
on her breast. Her straight. black
hair, bobbed boy fashion. accentuated
sharply the broad outlines Of her sla-
vonic face "All the real heart OF Rus
sia hates Germany" she said. THE
peasants want Germany beaten and
thrown out OF Russia. Russia cannot
do II alone. Won't you help" Will
you let me 60 back to Russia without
a word to the people that America is
coming? Russia Is bleeding to death. |
In twenty years Germany will have
Germanized Russia. German influence
is not now rooted out. Germany will
make war on you. and she would DOM |
mate the world IL she was allowed to |
dominate Russia. This Is the psyche
logical moment. You must lend your
aid to Russia at once. Don't leave the
Czecho- Slovaks in Siberia to their fate.
II Russia perishes. so will YOU. II you |
do not assist US now, you are not our
friend. I beg OF you. send men and
guns. Economic aid will be useless |
without military aid. have been here
two months now and I have made this
same appeal to every department OF
your government. I received no re-
sponse. You people seem to treat this
matter coldly l want your help II /
cannot get 1t ! will go back and try to
see what We can do alone. But We
need your help desperately. Send the
100000 men. l will throw my friends
with them. Because Russia knows that
hack OF me there Is no political con-
troyersy. The peasants will not fear
for they know me-" Senator Thomas. |
