WARSAW, March ] (By The Asso-

government is now carrying on a popu-
lar campaign to secure the support of
women throughout Russia, according
to refugees reaching here from Mos
cow. Nine. Radek, wife of Karl Ra-
dek, the chief Bolshcvik agent in Ger

this work, and with other women is
trying to attract the attention of the
large mass of women by having WON

colleges. Premier Leninc is declared
to have made this remark to Nine.
Radek:
cause we could not get the mass of
women Interested"
Many intelligent women are report
ed to be cooperating with Lcnine and
Trotzky, but SO far they have pointed
out vainly that it will be impossible
to win the support of the women as
long as religion is Haunted and as long
as divorce is made easy. The Soviet
propaganda bureau is putting out no
tees that with spring will come food
and clothes. They also harp on the

Women Not Nationalized
According to refugees and re-
ports there has been no general appli-

The province of lula made an attempt

similar decree issued in Moscow.

Weeks of Plotting
Two Dublin Girls Flirted

Unlocked Gate and Fled

PARIS, March i (By The Associated
Press)-While the newspapers of the
United Kingdom are still specializing
over the mysterious escape from Lin
coin Prison, in England, of Edward &c
Valera, the Sim Fein leader, the man
from captivity on February 8 has be-
come known here.
1t was related to The Associated
Press by Sean O'Cealligh, the prom
inent Sim Feiner who is here askinp
the peace conference to recognize the
provisional Government of the Irish
Republic" having crossed the Channel
on 1 passport secured by subter-
fuge.
After the midnight arrest of Ed
ward de Valera near his home in Grew
stone," Mr.. O'Cealligh began, che, with
twelve comrades, was sent to Lincoln
Prison, the other Sim Feiners ar
rested being distributed. Because of
lie Valera's Importance the strictest
watch was maintained upon the
prison.
"a committee was appointed to take
charge of the question of the release
Of the incarcerated comrades, and the
frst result of that committees &C
tivity was the escape of De Valera.
Prison Surveyed First.
1.-The first task was to survey the
prison. The prison lay in an isolated
part of the town. The rear looked out
on large open space. Just outside
the back gate was small patch of
ground on which the prisoners were
allowed to exercise under guard.
This place was surrounded bv a
series OF barbed wire entanglements.
Several armed wardens watched the

her tears when she learned that the
soldiers were not going TO take her
husband away. The prince was merely
required to give his word as a gentle
man to consider himself under re-
straint.
He was required to repeat after the
sergeant the following pledge:
81, Joachim Hohenzollern, consider
myself under arrest, and give my word
of honor not to escape from my bed
room in this hotel
Even this nominal arrest unnerved
the prince. He could not sleep that
night, and went out into the hotel
corridor to discuss with soldiers the
political situation. Then, toward
dawn, he telephoned to the Prussian
Legation to protest, as Prussi. n.
against his arrest. The official there
is said to have replied sharply that
the Bavarian minister was asleep and
could not be disturbed.
"Ah," rctorted the prince, what a
ditfernt tone you would have adopted
six months ago"

the provinces of Saratov, Volga and

that If person of either sex was not
married they were obliged TO accept the
i'rst offer made publicly through Sc
lectlons made by consulting names
rested at Soviet headquarters The
children of such marriages, it was de-
creed, are to become the property of
the state.
Try to Get Support of Women
The Bolshcviki attempted to please
women by establishing amusement
centres in the cities and towns, but
TINS was counteractcu by the fact that
tie bolsheviki closed The stores and
natlonalized women's clothes. The
women also held alo0f from Bolshe-
vism because of the difficulties the
soviet government threw around house
Keeping. The peasant women were
often beaten by their husbands be-
cause Of the lack of food.
The wives Of the Bolshevik leaders
often were openly against Bolshovism
owing to the clothes question. With
their new found wealth the women
wish to make display and they also
had difficulties in obtaining silks,

has been very scarce.
Refused to Shovel Snow
During a heavy snowstorm in Mos
COW every person was obliged to 40
his or her share of shovelling snow
in the streets.
Bolshevik laws have led to ludi-
crous results. A story is told in con-
pection with the manner in which
women servants do as they please. In
smolensk, bachelor householder
tried to discharge his cock, but she
refused to leave. On the advice Of
Bolshevik friend the bachelor filed
declaration that he had married his
cook. He then filed a second declara
ton that ne had divorced her and he
was then legally within his rights IN
forcing her to depart.

sunset force of military was thrown
about the prison.
"The next move was to communicate
with De Valera, which was difficult
However, one Sim Feiner started
working on garden plot, of which
there were several near the prison.
He attracted De Valera's attention one
day by singing Sim Fem songs in
Gaelic, in which he told the leader
cue him. The wardens' suspicious
were not aroused, because it was not
uncommon for Irish workmcn to be
about the prison.
This man appeared again several
days later and again sang ballad n
which he told De Valera that the rear
exit of the prison was the most feas-
IDLE for the attempt and asked De
Valera to secure an impression of the
key to the gate.
Impression of Key Taken
"The impression of the key was Sc
cured. am not quite sure of the
method.
"This impression was wrapped in
paper with a stone and thrown to the
singer in the garden plot
while this was going on four Sem
Feiners escaped from the Usk Prison
in Wales, and this caused the author
tiles to double the guards of all the
jails and postponed the release of De
Valera
"The sentries about the rear Of the
prison were a grave menace to the
plans, and the committee tried TO find
girls in the neighborhood who could
be employed to influence them This
attempt was given up, however, and
finally telegram was sent to Dublin
for two handsome young women, both
highly cultured university graduates,
who arrayed themselves as shopgirls
and crossed the Channel.
The girls deliberately set out to
firt with the soldiers and soon came
to know most of the guards. De
Valera was informed by code in let
ter that February was set for his
escape and the procedure to be fol
lowed was outlined as much as pos
slble. This little code had been ar
ranged for just such an emergency be-
fore De Valera was imprisoned.
ION the eve of February 3 four mo-
tor cars packed with lrishmen were
sent wandering about the country near
hlncoln to serve as decoys for the po-
lice. AT o'clock the prisoners were
brought IN from their period of excr-
cise. They then had three hour pc
rod for wandering about the prison
before they were locked up for the

story of the arrest of Prince Joachim
at hotel here, as related by man
familiar with the circumstances:
The prince was discovered at a
writing table, with the princess seated
in an armchair nearby, reading a
novel.

in connection with the alleged royal

The prince eyed the soldiers little
contemptuously, and then said:

Germany. What do you want?"

of the soldiers, "to arrest you for
