this unbearable life of slavery, another
man decided to join the Legion, which
was to leave within day or two.
Such reign of terror was instituted
that men were afraid to trust their own
comrades for fear of their being spies
in the pay Of Republican France. Every
semblance Of sympathy for the revolu-
ton was treated as treason, and 4execu-
ton by the wholesale was an everyday
occurrence.
About four months later | received
letter from G., dated from nowhere,
saying that he arrived safely at the
Legion depot, but together with others
had discovered that they had been duped,
that the real reason for the formation
70 their unit was to send them along
with the Poles to fight against the Boil
sheviks. In consequence Of their re-
fusal they were incarcarated to prison
with the prospect of being shot.

asserts that no less than Il. 900 were
massacred by French artillery shortly
after the outbreak OF the November
revolution. It appears that France,
obviously with the consent Of the Allies,
did all in its power to coerce the Rus
slams into fighting, by using all the bar
barous methods Of intimidation known;
to no avail, thanks to the class-conscious-
ness and solidarity of the Russian soldiers.
They were subjected to all manner OF
inhuman treatment, spies and oqents
proaacoteurs were placed among them,
those suspected of. the least sympathy
toward the Soviet republic were either
sent to prison or shot. What sort OF
prisons these were has been told in the
foregoing column. Anyone who even
so much as attempted to protest against
the policy of the French government
was brutally prosecuted.
One of the most notorious OF these
prosecutions was the arrest and imprison-
rent of General De Kolontayef, a Rus
sian n, bleman who went to France as
vic s-president Of the Cars artillery
commission, an anti-B olshevik, who
suffered considerably because of the
revolution, but like. many military
leaders, who have a genuine interest in
the welfare Of their men, was sent to
a onsentration camp at Precigne be-
cause he dared to-, protest against the
inhuman treatment Of the Russian sol
diers in France. IA full account Of the
arrest can be found in the columns OF
Gle Populaire" of March II, 1919.
Another is the murder recently Of
Lie t.. Pyeshkov Maxim Gorlxy's SOM
at Bordeaux for refcsing to join an
e zpedltion against the Bolsneviki.

languishing in dark cells for the great
crime of desiring to return to their
homes.
Every peaceable demonstration on
the part of the Russian soldiers in favor
OF the Soviet government was construed
as mutiny and wholesale nj rider and
imprisonment followed. A reign of ter
ror, the parallel Of which could be found
only in the famous French Reign of

/ landed in Havre about the tenth Of
June, 1918, and in small village close

Russian soldiers working in a NUM-
tons plant. They were paid four
francs a day, and living under a status
which may be summed up in the words
of 'parolled prisoners. =
IS With one Of these, named Nikolai,
I became very friendly. He was very
, intelligent man from Mo COW. He wore
the cross of the Legion of st. George
and was at that time abou to join the
Russian Legion He had arrived in
France with the first contingent at
Mar eilles, where they we e given a
great ovation. Everywhere they were
hailed as saviors. Girls fell upon their
necks and kissed them, hotels and
restaurants threw open their doors and
refused pay for what these boys ate and
drank. Russo, Russo, was upon the
lips OF every Frenchman Flowers were
streWn' in their way.
With the Kerensky revolution came a
new consciousness. The. soldiers began
to demand the removal Of certain officers,
who were Objectionable and cruel.
These demands were met by a court
martial Of the committee of soldiers
delegates, viii III lei to a general up-
rising Of the entire Russian contingent.
The Objectionable officers were removed
by the men themselves and others were
elected
This brought an order from Kerensky
to shoot every inslbordinate,. which
brought on wholesale arrests and mass
acres The result of this was a general
mutiny and refusal to fight any longer
and demand for general peace.
Finally there remained no one group Of
soldiers who could be depended upon to
arrest and execute another group. This
made necessary the intervention OF the
French Government, who ordered their
soldiers to whip the Russian into sub
mission. When it became obvious that
the Russians could not be counted upon
as effective in the lines, the French
government, without any announcement
as to policy, made captive all those who
were not killed or in prison, and sent
them in groups to work in different parts
of France. Each Russian became one
of party of thirty men, in SMALL
village, but off from his former comrades
in arms, not to know what had happened
to the rest, but supposing that they
were in some similar circumstances.
