CzECHO-SLOVAKS
HOPE OF RUSSIA
Breshkovskaya Decl a r e S
People Welcome Them
as Saviors
MUST HAVE AID
OF The ALLIES

SEATTLE, Wash. Jan. 20-If help is
not forthcoming az once, any govern
ment set up in Russia will fail, de-
clared Madame Catherine BreshkV,-
skaya. known as the grandmother Z
the Russian revolution" who has ar
rived here from the Orient.
Czecho-Slovak, rather than Allied
troops are wanted in Russia, she de-
clared The coming Of Czecho-Slivak
soldiers would be welcomed by the peo-
pie as they would welcome the coming
OF a Messiah"
"The only order existing today In
Russia is that which has been estab'
tshed where Czecho-Slovak troops
have gained a foothold," she declared.
Il hope some day 20 lead President
Masaryk OF the CzechO-Slovaks, on a
tour OF Russia, so that he may edu-
cate our people TO the true standard
OF democracy"
The cause to which Nine. Bresh-
skovskaya says she has devoted the
rest OF her life Is the obtaining OF
financial assistance for the 100000
Russian orphans and the 100000 illit-
crate people OF that country. TO tell
the story OF this condition, she says, is
the main purpose Of her visit to Amer
Ca.
The Russian Bolshevlsts were severe
ly arraigned by the visitors.
"They have failed because they are
destroyers," she asserted. "Ruination
Is their motto. They are not consruc-
tionists. You in America confuse So
clalists with Bolshevlsts. The Russian
Socialists are constructionists.
"Bolshevists in America-you do not
know what they are. They may be
working against the government and
they may be Bolshevist sympathizers,
but they are not Bolshevist destroyers
OF Russia.
"Kerensky Is a noble man, true
Socialist, devoted 20 the people. He
gave way before the Bolshevists be
cause he was outnumbered his organi-
zation was scattered and he did not
want to shed any more blood. Rus
sia's masses today, I believe, have the
utmost faith IN Kerensky."
Madame Breshskovskaya said she
went in hiding in Petrograd for eight
months when Kerensky was over
thrown. Then she went to Moscow,
where she remained two months.
Later she toured Russia, secretly in
favor Of what she said was a great
cooperative movement, on principles
on which she intimated were along So
cialistic lines. She declined TO say
whether her work involved steps
against the Russian Government Of TO-
day.
Madame Breshskovskaya celebrated
her seventy-first birthday anniversary
January i3 while crossing the Pacific.
