Blood Marks Trail of
Reds After easy Money

PARIS, April 19 Correspondence of
in the untutored mind of the Russian
proletarlat, is a system under which
everybody has plenty of money and one
needs to work only two or three hours
day, writes special CORES spondent
of "L'Intransigeant" from Russia. The
money they needed, the moujiks were
told, they would find in the factories,
and all they would have to do would
be to go and get it. Disappointment
awaited them in most cases, for the
great majority of the manufacturers
were ruined and the office cash boxes
were generally empty. The next course
was to seize the proprietor by the
throat. Where is our money!" they
would demand "The money that we've
earned by our sweet and blood >"
One plant owner answered that he
had no money and offered to prove by
his books that he had not even enough
to keep body and soul together.
The men fumbled through the books;
they could not understand the entries
Then somebody found an entry of two
million rubles under "Mortgages," the
Russian for which is "Amortizatzia."
What is this?" they demanded furi-
ously. "Amortizatzia must be the name
Of a woman She has gotten our
money. Who is she? Where is she ?"
The unfortunate employer vanly at
tempted to explain. The mob gave him
five minutes to "confess," after which
he was shot against his factory wall.
