Far East.
VLADIVISTOK, (By Messenger
and Mail For two years Japan
"sowed the wind" of outrage and
murder in Russian Siberia.
She "reaped the whirlwind" in the
massacre at Nigolayevsk.
That once thriving seaport of 49,
900 people was a shocking ruin when
l saw it first from the Red Gross
ship Erivan after steaming 1000
miles north from Vladivostok-the
only newspaper man who has passed
the Jap Gordon.
Blackened, storm-soaked remnants
of the fire-swept town-crowds of
sick and starving refugees on the
wharves-and the decomposed bod

sluggish Amar river.
white" Russians Join Reds.
When the Japs and their tools, the
"White" Russians, surrendered
Nikolayevsk February 29, 1920, the
White" went over bodily to Ire
petzin's band of maruding Reds.
The Japs signed an armistice. They
had full liberty to go about town.
There is no evidence that they were
j many way molested or maltreated.
This peace continued II days. What
led to the break, nowitness is avail
able to tell The Japs areall dead the
Reds either dead or outlaws in the
hills. Whatver caused it, here is the
fact:
At 2 a. m. of March IL, in the dark
of the night, the Japs surrounded
Trepentzin's house, threw oil upon
it, set it afire, and tossed grenades
in the windows. The intent was to
destroy Trepetzn and all hs staff.
.Trepetzin escaped, wounded IN
the foot. His chief aide was kill
ed. His cosort, Nina, was not hurt.
Fighting continued, intermittent
! ly, in the streets for week. Then
the remaining Japs surrendered and
were jailed.
| do not know the rules of war
Perhaps, after signing an armistice
1 it is permissible to try to cremate
the other fellow.
His Classification"
But | can imagine how Trepetzln
felt about it. And | know that his
Classification" for his own unspeak-
able crimes, is what the Japs did
there. and at Ivanoka, and hun
dred other places. He says that IN
| killing them, wholesale, he treated
the Japs precisely as they had serv-
cd thousands of Siberian Russians
He did not kill them immediate
ly after the frustrated cremaOloh
party. For weeks a sullen quiet
blooded over Nikolayevsk.
In April, word came that a large
Jap force was on the way to re-
capture Nikolayevsk. Trepetzin
prepared, methodicall, for retreat
The town is about % miles above
the mouth of the Amur, which emp
ties into the Sea of Okhotsk by two
channels. Trepetzin sank IL barges
loaded with stone, to block one chan
mel. The other he sowed witt
with mines! m
(His strategy failed, however. The
cunning Japs avoided the NINE
strewn channel-and found a new
channel, cut by the current of the
river, around the sunke nbarges.)
Then Trepetzin executed ven
geance upon his Jap prisoners, de-
spite repeated pleas that he spare
them, from the Chinese consul and
the officers of certain Chinese gun
boats, neutrals, icebound at Nlko-
layevsk.
Executes Vengeance.
Trepetzin marched the Japs half
mile from shore (the Amur is two
miles wide at this point cut a hole
