Year is Limit of Red Power in
Russia, Says Armenian in City

Another year will see the end of the
Bolshevik regime in Russia, according
TO Dr. Haig Narvarian Armenian
physician, who after going through the
worst phases of the world war, was
with the Bolshevik army in the east
and was imprisoned for months. AS
chief Of the Armenian medical bureau,
DR.. Varvarian was one of men who
reorganiZed the Armenian army after
the Russian revolution.
Il tell you frankly, class hatred.
class fighting revolutions, are the
worst thing in the world. They are
really hell! Such wars are far worse
than International wars. Father fights
son, brother kills brother. Fierce hat
red steels men to anything. In Russia
l saw things which l cannot tell you:
l cannot think of telling them. I suf-
fered terribly myself, but l saw worse
things I cannot speak OF. Although
in different way the Russian revo;N-
zionist did as terrible things as the
Turks. I want to say, however. that
at heart and when in his natural sur
roundings the Russian is a kind and
gentle fellow. Russia's sorrow lies in
the fact that 95 per cent Of Russians
have been brought up In ignorance
You cannot conceive how ignorant
clear to the depths of their souls!"
See Dreams Of Plenty.
DR.. Varvarian explained that the far
mers succumbed to the dreams paint
ed by the Bolshevik leader, mainly be-
cause Of the promise of land. They
were told that there would be plenty
Of everything, no more war, freedom
for every working man, and plenty OF
land.
Land was what won the farmers,
and that is what is winning them back
to the nationalists now. You see,
when they got this promised land they
found that it was not theirs individ-
ually, as they had expected, but that
according to the Bolshevfk rule, 1t he
longed to the community. They want
it themselves and hundreds Of farmers
are now turning back to the national
lists. because there the man owns and
keeps what he has"

Armenia is praying that the United
States will accept the mandate which,
means the saving Of this little coun.

America will remember that Armenia
had civilization long before the Chris

than any other country to attempt to
civilize the brutal. savage Turk
which do not think can be done. We
are hoping it will be remembered
that We could be a forward moving, in

that are waiting to crush the life OF
our nation completely out.
Armenia does not want to become
