AS ONLY HOPE
Russian Prisoners From Ger
many See Their Onlp
Chance in Ranks

Nladivostok, April 17.-& Russian
aviator who deserted the Red Guard
army in January and flew into the
lines of the All-Russian forces has
described the conditions then pre-
vaihn3 in Soviet Russia to a member
of The British Mission here as fol-
lrWs:
The Soviet authority had national
lied all supplies including warm
clothing which was being furnished
only to the Red Army. The Boil
she|iki were carrying on agitation in
all countries as Lenines only hope
for perpetuation of his control and
of Bolshevism. Lenine and Trotzky
were not in complete accord. Trot-
zky wished to restore much of the
old military regime, including salut-
ing and measure of discipline. Many
Russian prisoners returning from
Germany had joined the Red Army
as their only chance to live.
The naturalization of women, he
said was untrue. Some churches had
been converted into theaters. Only
thO "Cht ~ SAuh Nhi'
There were no private stores or
shops; all were under the control
of the Soviets and purchasers had 20
show cards authorizing them to buy.
Army officers had no distinguishing
uniform but wore a star on the cap.
Officers of the old regime were COM
PEELED to act as instructors in mill
tary schools. their work being strict
" watched by "commiSsarS' and
their families held as hostages to
guarantee satisfactory conduct.
Power of the railway "commissars'
was unlimited. Railways were bad
ly operated. Employees spent much
time holding meetings. There was
no coal and little wood. Workmen
drink all sorts of substitutes for
vodka.
Moscow was well lighted but most
cities and towns were inadequately
lighted.
Bolsheviki never entered villages
or towns except in parties because
of danger of attack upon them by
peasants. They had q very active
secret police organization.
In Moscow bread cost 100 ruoles
q pound. Two hundred rubles was
an average charge for cab fare.
The peasants would only accept
the old issue of currency and would
not have Kerensky or Kolchak ollls.
