OFFICER ENLISTS WIFE'S AID
TO WARM AGAINST BOLST1EVISTS

Denikine in the volunteer army today.
Synagogues Only UnviOlated.
Ref. Jews.-In towns captured by
bolshevists the only unviolated sacred
buildings are the synnagogues. while
churches are used for anything. from
movie-shows to slaughter houses" +"
The Poles Galicians and Petlura have
Jews). Not the Russian volunteer
armies under Denikine. Denikine has,
in fact. been so strict in protecting
the Jews that he has been accused
by his sympathizers of favoring them.
IF. however. a commissary, stepped
, in murder. with torture and rape,
with muti.ation. happens to be Jew,
as most of them are. should he re-
ceive exceptional treatment?
The very enemies of Gen. Denikin,
who have committed pogroms, accuse
him. of all men, and his volunteer
armies of massacering Jews. 1t is
one more eXpedient to turn the SYM
pathies of western countries against
Denikin-not very successful. on the
whole. and side issue. l don't know
why I wasted so much time on this
minor point of the Jews. Possibly
because they are one of the largest
non-Russian contingents among the
bolshies. and the most influential.
The Chinese and Let's act more as
executioners and torturers.
Unprfntable Photographs.

I hope to send you copies of sixty

cleared out; the bolshies had taken
the town and were finally driven out
by Denikin's Iron Brigade" The
successful assault was made by

AS no paper will print them. 1
suggest that you should have copies
done. If we're too hard up you could
pay for them by sending me no par
cells. or selling my Caucasian dagger.
or Persian book, or something. And
I suggest that you should then do
with them as you think fit, to make
them most widely known.
Their horror may make people
realize. They must realize. BY God,
they shall realize!
They show men who've been cruci-
fed with the torture Of the human
glove" The victim gets crucif1ed,
nails through his elbows. The hands
are treated with solution which
shrivels the skin. The skin is cut out
with a razor. round the wrist. and
peeled off. till it hangs by the finger
nails-the human glove"
I'm not sparing you. I hope you'll
show and send them to everybody
we know. People at home, apathetic
fools they are. do not deserve to be
spared. They must be woken up.
John and Katie ought to see them.
Most of the photos are of women.
Women with their breasts cut off to
the bone. Women with their bodies
cut open. One woman with her
stomach cut open and unborn twins
half dragged out:
1t is not surprising that such peo-
pie can't stand up to Denikin's men
in anything like even numbers or
equipment.
Gen Denikin started the war with
403 officers and 200 roubles GA lis.
6d.).
With 4 900 he liberated large area.
With 5000 he walked through over
10000 bolshevists.
The worst of it is that. though his
armies are numerous now. their
equipment and supplies of all kinds
are still insufficient. That's where we
try to help.
And that his enemies are active in
making political trouble for him
everywhere. And everybody can do
bit to counteract this. surely. every
little helps.
Outrages ON Women.
Two little bits, ref bolshevist afro
cities. you might type in as many
others left them in different tea
shops every afternoon. it might touch
quite lot of people. 1 shall send
you chapter and verse II can. If /
haven't sent chapter and verse in
month. do your best without. Papers
are no good; because papers would
put it more delicate1y.
1--WE have here at H.Q. passes issued
to bolshevists by commissaries on oc-
cupying Ekaterinodar. These passes
authorize their holders to o'arrest any
girl they fancy for the use of the SOL
diery. Sixty-two girls of all classes
were arrested like this and thrown to
the bolshevist troops. Those who
struggled were killed quite early on
The rest. when used and finished,
were mutilated and thrown. dead and
dying. into the two small rivers flow-
ing through Ekaterinodar.
"In all towns occupied by boishe-
visits and reoccupied by US slaughter

women and children. were herded in
these-doors and windows manned
until most of them were dead or dy
ing. The doors were then locked and
they were left. The stencil in these
places. 1 am told. is hair-raising
These 'slaughter-houses' are veritable
plague-spots and have caused wide
spread epidemics."
I want you to proselytize Robinson
and galvanize the colonel and every
body else you can get hold Of. I'd
like James to see this and No. 47 and
Dorothy. Above all the mater For I
feel sure that. whatever happens, she
and you will be glad that I've come
out.
l shall not be able to send you. the
mater, Dorothy. or any one else any
more detailed news. I want to start
the letters to the colonel. If I make
the first (to Taranto) CHEEKY and
amusing, the second (Constantinople
and Black sea) interesting. can
then start propaganda. So please get
your news out of them. And share
with the mater and Dorothy and any
body else who cares.
This has been full letter for your
birthday. dearest. and just when your
two dear letters had helped me to
find lighter tone. But these things
do move me so.
I've been inoculated and have such
a headache. I've got to stop.
Ever yours, x.
