part of the propa ganda scheme of the Bolshevists to hold Polish refugees in Russia as long as possible, and during that time to instill the Bolshe- vist doctrines
 The BoIshevist Motto.
 With regard to the internal poli- tics of Russia. the old Bolshevist mot to. "Hit the Bourgeois" has rather lost it's force. for the simple reason that the Russian Bourgeois have be- come virtually extinct. There arc lew against whom the blood-thirsty can take action. For this reason both Lenine and Trotsky are encountering certain amount of difficulty. The people want an organized system of work, and 1t is generally conceded that the single department of Gov ernment in which the Bolsheviks have made any success is in the Depart ment of Education, under Lunarch- arsl<y, who, long before the present upheaval in Russia, was recognized as a specialist in educational work. It is also pointed out that not a single one of the many promises made to the proletnriat in October. 1917, by the Bolshevists has been granted. The partition of land between the work CTS, for the accomplishment of which a special committee was nominated more than a year ago, has not been accomplished. One. effect of this Is that at present there are a great num- Der of petty wars going on within the country between bodies of peas ants on the one hand and workmen on the other. endeavoring forcibly to seize territory.
 Very little law and order prevail in the greater part of the Russian farm lands, and until there can be some settlement of the now hopelessly involved matter of Russian land own ership there Is little hope of peace for the rural districts. Throughout the entire country there is great dis content with the Government system of requisitioning supplies. No pay ment is made for anything the Gov ernment takes, and as a result the peasants have virtually only those things which they can grow them selves. For example. they may have potatoes and corn, but cloth. sugar.

 whenever a person dies there Is not necessarily an immediate burial. The authorities wait for q sufficient num- Der Of corpses so that there may be c general collection and burial at one time- Very few children are in Petro- grad, and the faces of the adults who are there are reported to be either
 horribly swollen or emaciated by famine This is said to be due to the utter lack of fats of all kinds. Moscow is reported to be in almost as paC ;s plight as Petrograd. Many of the churches of Russia have been con- Terted into theaters and the altars are now often made the scenes of incredible obscenities. The banks have been utterly forsaken ana remaIn open for those who wish to loot.
 Spy System.
 Social life in Russia, according to my informant, does not exist, and this is largely because of the pres ence everywhere of Bolshevist spies. Everyone is supected of being a Bol- shevist spy, in consequence there are almost no gatherings of any sort. This state of affairs exists both in the towns and in the rural districts. Frequent conflicts occur between To- cal governing bodies and the central governing body. For example, in the town of Smolensk the Executive Com nittee of the Soviet acts absolutely without regard to the Trotsky-Lenine Government, and very often directly counter to its instructions. The Com mittee is one, of the Cruellest and most high of the Soviet Committee of Russia. Daring the last four months they have shot over 100 more or less well-to-do persons. including students. doctors, lawyers, and artists. And the system upon which these people were shot was barbarous in the extreme. On the 5th of January @ condemn ed persons, of whom 20 were boys of r years of age, were forced to dig their own graves. They were then told to stand before their graves and were shot down by machine gun. When all had fallen hand grenades were thrown into the pit to kill those who were still living. This action was purely local in character.

tea, petrol, and iron are virtually un- known to them. Add to this the fact that the Bolshevist regime endeavored to enforce a mobilization and 1t is easy to understand why in many vil- laSes bloodshed is almost a daily oc- curence when Government officials appear A crowd of peasants killed several Bolshevist Commissioners on- ly a few days ago at Rostoff, m the province of Jarsloff on the Volga, burning the house occupied by the local Soviet. together with five of the Soviet deputies who were in the build ing at the time. In consequence Of this outbreak Bolshevist troops were sent out from Moscow to Rostoff and 15o persons were summarily execut- ed. The only solution of thihs difficulty te Bolshevist leaders can see is the opening of factories, which is vir- tually impossible unless relations can be established with the Entente.
 Economic Weapons.
 The Russian economic situation has been well summed up by Lem inc himself. who has publicly declar- ed that Russia can be crushed not by the bayonets of the English and French but by their economic weap- ons. In this connection there has come to me a picture of Petrograd as it is at the moment. Food tickets are issued, but they are useless. There are no horses in the city, nor dogs. Tram cars run rarely. Produce Is vtr- tually the only recognized currency, although the Tsar roubles. If anyone is lucky enough to possess them, are accepted. More commonly, however, a coat Is given in exchange for bread or meat. There Is no coal in the city and people are burning the houses and ven the wooden pavements, which have been largely torn up. The Bolsheviks frequently enter a house and demand the family accounts. If a family maintains a servant a special levy is made upon them by virtue of that fact. Everyone in Petrograd makes a point of being shabby in ap- pearance.
 For long time the middle and their salvation: now such of them as still survive look to the Entente. The city is filthy. Not a store remains open and food is purchased at the Government food shops. Butter. when Obtainable, costs so roubles a pound; sugar, 140 roubles a pound; black flour. 20 roubles q pound. and white flour Is unobtainable. Pork costs SO roubles a pound. and there is no milk have been reliably informed that

R0L SHEv|K DOCTRINES SPREAD BY
 THE RECITATION DEPARTMENT"

No department of the Russian gov irnment is reckoned of more i'm 'ortance than the Agitation Depart nent of the Ministry of Foreign Af- airs. The chief is Krobicha. a Jew tnd a lawyer. The scale of Krobicha' 6 activities is evidenced by the fact hat in the month of December alone se expended the sum of 6,5oO,ooO loubles. The center of Bolshevist az tation is Stockholm. Under Krobi- Ina is a girl who is commonly be- ieved to be much of the brains of the york that Is done. Her name Is Mrra Hetz, and 1t Is said that she has con rol not only of the work of agitation. ,ut also virtually of all the political espionage. For the work of agitation n Poland Mira Hetz is associated with a man of the name of Grunbaum, who, according to these reports from Russia. has been eminently success 'ul. at least in the matter of get ling a great number of agitators into he country. Most of these agents of propaganda enter Poland as refugees m special refugee trains. Very few # them arrive from Moscow, because n Moscow there is a most strict con !rol by a representative of the Pol
