constitute the latest feature of boil
shevik terror in Russia, says Prof.
Peter Strive, a distinguished Russian
economist, who has escaped from Rus
STA and arrived in England after hid
ing from the bolsheviki for months in
Moscow and after a long journey on
foot to reach safety in Finland.
He was compelled to disguise hirj-
self to escape death at the hands OF
the adherents Of Lenine and Trotzky.
Professor Strive vas representative

Ten Bishops Shot.
Altogether ten bishops had been
shot and many priests murdered and
the dean of Kazan cathedral and his
two sons were drowned in the Neva
by the red soldiers" said Professor
Strive. "Near Kotlas, all the monks
in one monastery were shot to death.
Professor Kartasheff, minister of reli-
gion in Kerensky's government, who
has escaped into Finland, says that
the present persecution Of the church
in Petrograd is only comparable with
the persecution Of the early Chris
tians.
