Geneva, June 22.-Three Russian
peasants = real Moujiks from the
district of hamburg. near Petrosrad
ARE among the latest arrivals In
Paris. They arrived direct from
Soviet Russia. They have not reg
istered at any. hotel. On the tram
they travelled in q reserved nrst-
class compartment. They were met
at the Saint Lazare station by sew
eral official looking gentlemen ana
were driven rapidly away In a cur
tanned limousine to the Quay Dor
say - headquarters of the French
foreign office-where they remained
cloistered for three whole days.
Their arrival in the French capi-
tai is "a diplomatic secret" that has
been exceptionally we'll kept, but
which there is, in reality, very little
harm in divulging.
Diplomats Impressed.
The true story of this mysterious
visit, as your correspondent heard
it told, is as follows: Some weeks
Reval was surprised to receive
request for passports from three
Russian peasants attired in their
characteristic blouses and high
boots. They declared they had Sc
cretly crossed the Esthonian border
and that they wanted to go to West
ern countries to tell the truth about
Bolshevism in Russia
IL
PIE and sincere that the consul COM
municated with his government and
eventually he received orders to
have them brought to Paris, accord
ing to their desire. At the Quay
D'Orsay. where their presence
caused quite a sensation, the Mou-
jiks had the honor of meeting sew
eral prominent allied statesmen who
eagerly seized this opportunity of
probing the greatest mystery of So
Wet Rusda-the attitude OF the
peasants toward Bolshevism-and
who piled them with questions as
to conditions in Russian villages.
The Mouiks answers were a mix
ture of naivete and shrewdness that
made a deep impression on the Dip
lomats.

NJ. Maklakov, chief OF the So
called Russian provisional govern
ment in Paris was present at the
meeting.

the first question put to the Moujiks.

told the French are our allies and
we wished to tell them all about the

have appointed three or four of the

Then why don't you all become
and be bosses too?"
Because we know it is wrong"
