RUSSIANS NOT
AMBITIOUS TO
help SELVES

PARIS, Feb. 8 Correspondence of
the Russian committee in Paris de-
plore the tendency of some newspapers
in the allied countries to belittle the
actual work of Russians in Russia to
overthrow the Soviet government
headed by Lenine and Trotzky. Prince
Lvoff and his associates of the COM
mittee point to the thousands of Rus
sian officers and soldiers executed by
the Soviet order as proof Of the &C
tivity of Russians within Bolshevik
territory against the Soviet dictators.
In a conversation with correspon-
dent Of the Associated Press, Dr. Boris
A. Bakhmeteff, the Russian minister to
the United States, asserted that only
a small part of the former Russian
empire actually is under Bolshevik
control, and that the Russian troops
predominant in the army that has
driven the Red forces out of Siberia
and are threatening Soviet authority
from North and South Russia.
Boris Savinkoff, who was minister
of war under the Kerensky regime,
who recently arrived in Paris, is typ
ical of many Russian leaders who have
been in Russia striving for the res
toratiOn of a more sane order. Savin-
koff, like many other fearless oppo-
nents of the Bolsheviki, has been
working constantly in Bolshevik ter
ritory for the last year. He planned
the capture of Yaroslav last July, a
movement which threatened the over
throw Of the Moscow government for
a time, and was put down by the Boil
sheviki at great cost of life and sup
plies.
Although the Bolsheviki put high
price on Savinkoff's head, he managed
to escape them through various dis.
guises and subterfuges, and left Rus
STA by way of Siberia, coming from
Vladivostok directly to France by sea.
His activities extended into nearly
every section of Russia; and he had
many narrow escapes. OF all the
prominent Social Revolutionists who,
have been pitted against the Bolshe-
vik regime, Savinkoff is said to be the
most feared by Lenine and Trotsky !
He figured, prominently as one of the
most dreaded terrorists under the i'm
perial regime. p~
Marie Spiridonova and scores of
other members OF the anti Bolshevik
factions have done heroic work within
the last nine months which resulted
in Instructions against the Bolshe-
wiki so the members of the Russian
committee say, but the Bolsheviki
have controlled the Russian news so
thoroughly that the outside world has
known only of the movements which
assumed big proportions in districts
within telegraphic reach of foreign
newspapers ~ "4 %-7 ~

WAR PRISONERS ANXIOUS

who would have succumbed to de-

of metal found in the camps ashcan.
You see pretty purses and hand
bags. They were made from the
skins of rats trapped by the prisoners.
Toward the end there was estab-
lished at the camp a well organized
handicraft department with about. 300
pupils, in art-metal work, bookbind-

to part with work that cost them such
patient toll.

BY CROMWELL TWINS
Sisters Who Died Together
Left Identical Estates.

Another striking parallel in the lives
of Gladys EAnd Dorothea Cromwell.
twins, who leaped to their death in the
Glronde river from the French steam
ship La Lorraine while returning from
France on the night of January 10. was
disclosed yesterday in connection with
the appraisal of their respective estates.
Not only did they die together but
their Wills were drawn up on the same
day. January %. 1913, and they named
the same beneiciaries. to whom they
left identical amounts. Their holdings
of stocks and bonds we're exactly the
same and the net value of their estates
was approximately TIE same. That of
Gladys Cromwell was appraised at
s615,296 by John ]. Lyons. appraiser
in the Deputy State Comptroller's office,
while the valuation placed upon the
other sisters estate is S617,1SS.
There are twenty-one beneficiaries
under each will and the requests are the
same with the exception that their
brother, Seymour l.. Cromwell of
Mendham, N. j.. his wife. Agnes Crom-
well. and a sister, Mary r. Cromwell
of &C Rue Spontini. Paris, receive
slightly more from the estate of Dor
othea than they do from that of Gladys.
The sisters were returning to America
after several months service as can
teen workers with the army in France,
Their bodies later were recovered from
the Gironde estuary and buried in
France with military honors. They left
a sealed letter addressed to their brother
and which was believed to contain an
explanation for the double tragedy, but
the brother has refused to divulge the
letters contents. The sisters were 80
years old and made their home at 535
Park avenue.
