Hundreds of Persons Tortured the Most nhman Fashion Before
Being Put to Death and Their Estates Plaged and
Mansions Razed-Thousands Die From
Hunger All Over Country.

New York.-"We do not hope any
longer; we die!'
The despair to which bOlshevik mis-
rule has reduced Russia is thus epito-
mized by Russian noblewOman wide
ly known throughout her country, In
remarkable picture Of events in her
country contained in letter received
recently in New York. Her castles
and estates plundered or razed, her
fortune vanished and her friends and
family murdered, this titled woman is
moved to remark that "three years
ago, my second daughter and her hus-
band died, he having caught cold In
the trenches. Then 1 was in despair ;
now envy them"
Il beg Of you never to mention my
name; wrote frankly to you counting
on your discretion" is the plea which
fear Of bolshevik tyranny moves the
unfortunate woman to place at the
close of her letter to her friend, New
York woman Of prominent and infiuen-
tial family. Excuse the incoherences ;
I write with my heart bleeding, know
ing that shall never be able to give
you the faintest idea of the sufferings
that thousands are enduring"
A graphic tale of the misery that
spreads itself over Russia is unfolded
in the letter. Wholesale pillaging and
murder by bolsheviki, Germans, Firms
and others swept the land clear of it's
wealth.
Both the nOblewoman who wrote the
letter and the woman who received 1t
are well known. The danger involved
fer the former makes it advisable that
not only the, names of the persons but
the names of the localities mentioned
be withheld from publication. The let
ter in full reads as follows:
"My very, very dear Mrs. B:
"At last 1 am able to write to you
and to hope to hear from you.
II will endeavor to tell you briefly
the personal events of these terrible
last years. But how to begin? How
to give you the faintest idea of the
unimaginable atrocities committed by
the bolsheviki? Speaking of our
selves, I will tell you that we have
lost everything. The bolsheviki have
stolen all our fortune, boxes Of silver
ware, precious objects, personal re-
membranes which undoubtedly are
now destroyed.
Freed to Flee From Home.
'"Three years ago my second daugh-
ter and her husband died, he having
caught cold in the trenches. Then

from M, and come to the city,
