AS one watched their faces day by
day while the long and horrible story
was told, one came to believe that
they somehow felt to the massacres
and starvation in Russia as the
schoolgirl feels toward her ancient
history. Russia was as far from
them as were tie French Revolution
and the sack Of Magdeburg. The
horrors were "too bad" to be sure,

CROSS the front row at the

A CROSS the front row at the
IA hearings where the Overman
4 - committee was gathering
and trying to assort such informa-
t;ou about Russia and the Red Ter
ror as was to be had in this coun-
try. a half dozen women sat, day
in and day out. They formed a
kind of claque; for, though ap-
plause is strictly forbidden in such
hearings, their comments, not in
tended to be inaudible, reached the
witnesses and often the reporters
and lent certain tone to the pro-
ceedings.
This little group came to be
known, doubtless unfairly, as the
B. V. s., which stood for Bolshe
Wiki Sisters. Most of them ex-
plained that they were not Bolshe-
yiks, but we're deeply interested in
the truth, and wanted to be sure
that it was told. None of them had
ever been to Russia. They repre-
sented almost as many types and
strata of society as they counted
noses, and, together with the two
women called as witnesses, Louise
Bryant and Bessie Beatty, gave the
Senator's and the audience such idea
as they were able to get of Woman
as 9 Bolshevist--or nearABolshevist.

She seemed the type Of woman that

scattered brood to her cronies. She
must have been capitalist, living
on the income squeezed from some
proletarians through small invest
ments left by her husband.

There Never Was a
Divorce There

There has never been a divorce in
Lithuania. The word itself is un-
known to them. There is no marital
infdelity. There has never been an
elopement. Husband and wife are
usually happy together, because they
are always working together, for
their country, for their children.
They are an agricultural people, de-
pending on the profits of the soil for
their national wellbeing. Their iso-
lation as country, as well as their
isolation on the farm, has produced

in America who have preserved their
national virtues and characteristics
most fully. They have not forgotten
their handiwork, their sewing, their
embroidering, their cooking. They
are calm, capable keepers Of their
home They do all the work without
servants, work that is so much cas-
ier than their work in Lithuania.
They it is who keep all the money of
the family, just as they did in Lith-
uania. No budget battles with the
families of this North European ma
ton. The husband knows that his
wife is more economical, and there
fore all management of household
affairs is left to her.

One Of those who kept tho language
living


living
one was recited by the young mother
to her young children in 1864, and
by the grandmother to her grand
children, until finally the fourth gen.
GRAFTON was teaching it's children at
the time when the yoke was lifted
in 1904. There is not Lithuanian
to-day, young or old, who has not
deeply engraved on his mind the
picture of an old grandmother at
the spinning wheel, with a little child
at her side, learning its language
avidly and secretly.
Many are the men and the women
who were martyred in their attempt
to keep alive their mother tongue.
Books were printed secretly in Ger
many and smuggled in with provis-
ions at night numbering carts con-
tained food-and books. The forest
was the library. Women having read
and shared their knowledge in
formed the next applicant that birds
we're nesting in the largo oak. And
thither anxiously went the neighbor
to find the precious egg. But often
she went far too anxiously and
found q Russian official waiting at
her tree. Her book WAS discovered
and she was forthwith killed for
smuggling
Nevertheless, the women never
ceased their efforts to preserve their
national entity. They recognized
themselves as nation which could
not be suhdued by Poles, Russians
or Germans. If they could not speak
their language, they could whisper
it and dream it. And they did.
Some Had Never Seen
A Written Word
They have brought it to America,
those million immigrants who have
fled from their land in order to hold
their nationality. Men who never
saw q printed word in their little
village on the Baltic helped build
newspapers that printed the sounds
they had heard only from their
mothers lips. They have established
many newspapers and periodicals
and many schools in this country.
Their patriotism has found full ex-
preston here and fullest expression
where it has adopted the customs
of America.

Of these touched the heart Of the
nation. But the language of the ma
tion was attacked. 1t was forbidden
to read, to write or even to speak
that language, which in it's sonorous
beauty is said to surpass even Greek.
1t became criminal offence to speak
it or to have any of it's literature in
ones possession. The nation was
likely to die.
Women Saved
The Language
Then it was that the women came
to the fore. By word of mouth they
transmitted the language and the
literature to the younger genera
tions. Secluded in corners of the
garden, the children gathered about
their mother and heard her recite
that alphabet which is SO like San
skirt. They learned from her the
difficult grammar, the songs and the
poetry. There is not one poem in
their wonderful garden of folklore
that has been allowed to die. Every

By DORIS E. FLEISCHMAN

THERE is one country in the
world to-day where there is
no woman question, where
feminism and suffrage are not the
issues Of the day, where the wom
ans question is also the mans
question.
This country is Lithuania. To
the uninitiated, Lithuania is the
Baltic republic, more ancient than
Greece in its democracy and most
oppressed of all Europe's smaller
nations. After ages of submission
it is suddenly finding its tongue and
yoicing its desire to become once
more an independent state. The
war has brought to a focus it's ma
tional aspirations.

The Two
Women Witnesses

The two women witnesses who
sympathized with the revolution
were, of course, the best evidence of
the feminine attitude toward Boil
shevism that came to the committee.
Louise Bryant's pretty martyrdom
for the cause brought out her ability
to disbelieve what displeased her
and hold faith in what she liked
and wanted. She could not accept
the stories bout the executioner,
Peters, because he had told her him
self that he was not cruel, and che
was a most aesthetic young man."
There had been little promiscuous
murder during the early weeks of
the revolution, while she was there,
and she could not picture the scenes
that occurred when the Red Terror
was loosed. She had been hungry,
but not starved, and her understand
ing of conditions seemed to stop at
that point. In short, she liked the
Bolsheviki, and she wanted them to
have a chance.
Bessie Beatty, editor of fashion
magazine, looked the part, and it
strained the imagination Of the Sem
ators to picture her as Bolshevist
probably strained them as hard as
it strained Miss Bryant's to picture
Bolshevist committing an atrocity.
She was most anxious to keep away
from facts, whenever possible, and
her statement of her reasons for
sympathy with the soviets had the
appearance of meeting the full ap-
proval Of the front row.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27

all these were there, but there we're
other. though yet unnamed fu-
turist shades.
Both these women have done time
for picketing, and both have been
on hunger strikes. Both have the
indefinable look which seems to
come to veterans of the direct ac-
ton suffragists in Washington.

it is the nation that is dishonored.
The whole country stands shamed
before the world, victimiZed by a
small reactionary minority that holds
America back from her rightfUl place
among the standard bearers of de-
mocracy. While the United States
Senate is engaged in thus defeating
the will of the American people by
failing to pass the federal suffrage

are engaged in emphasizing the
strength of that will, SO far as the
federal suffrage anne ndment is con-
cerned.
in falling to enact it, the United

democracy. so far as the Sixty-fifth
Congress is concerned. And all to
what end? The Sixty-sixth Congress
