they were transported in special street cars to the graves.
 ', And this, added Captain Alkire. H just one city ruled by the bolsheviki.
 What Russia needs, said Captain All1ire. is a strong dictator, Bismarck or a Napoleon. The peasants them selves do not know what they want they will tell you. if you ask them, they guess they want a republic with a c,ar at the head of it.
 In the districts where the bolsheviki had ruled long enough to make their rule felt, said the captain, the peasants are very much against bolshevism. In other districts they are apathetic for whatever side will leave them their land and meagre possessions.
 Many women, said Captain Alkire, are taking part in the fighting against the bolsheviki. Among those he met personally was grand daughter of the great Tolstoy, dressed in a captains S uniform.
 Captain Alkire related the manner in which the Denekine army started. At first the volunteer army contained but one man. That man was General Korniloff, of the old army. He got to- gether eight other officers, and the nine organized a regiment composed altogether of officers of the old regime.
 Army Grows From Few
 Just as when Napoleon retreated from Russia and his officers. left with out commands, formed a bodyguard for hlm, so these Russian officers became privates and minor officers in the first volunteer anti-bolsheviki regiment. This regiment became the nucleus for the volunteer army.
 The volunteers had no equipment and tEey captured their first three towns with Cossack whips as the only weapons. Then the army began to nH 2 n r gwen; the Cossaclls and peasants sup ported them. This southern Russian army is the only one left now to fight the bolsheviki and Captain Alkire be- lieves it's recent reverses are not as bad as painted-for there is such a thing as bolshevik propaganda, he pointed cut.
 AS to the stories or Jewish persecu- tions. Captain Alkire declared from first hand knowledge that they were all false. Some Jews have been killed, he said, but not by the Denekine forces. Those who have been killed have met their fate at the hands of angry civilians.
 As for the Jewish situation in Russia, Captain Alkire said there were good Jews and bad Jews, as in every other country.-A majority of the komis- sars of the Russian soviet government are Jews, with Trotsky, whose real name is Bernstein, at the top of the list.
 Bolshevism Worse Than All
 The Russian bolshevist movement, the captain pointed out, cannot be com- pared to the French revolution. The real Russian revolution may be, but holshevism is not a legitimate successor to this revolution. It is merely a new despotism. worse than that of the czar. under which no nan is safe, even s<~s-- Hi gain is the movements sole object. For the gain of it's leaders and followers it has destroyed everything, checked progress for years, put the land and people back into the barbaric stages. IL cannot last, said the captain-but it can spread over the world.
 There are 237 kinds of money in Russia, incidentally, each faction mak- ing it's own as needed. The rouble, once worth 50 cents, is worth approxi- mately nothing. Bread is S2.20 a loaf; tea S6 a glass; soup g a bowl.
 Germany is getting the Russian busi- ness. said Captain Alkire, and once it gets Russia commercially German Russo Japan alliance will be the re- suit. Meanwhile, America is the most popular nation in anti bolsheyik Rus sia, and everywhere the people are asking American capital to develop south Russia, the richest district of all. America could get in and control all the trade in region rich in commer eial opportunities, but while bolshevism exists. it is impossible. Machinery of all types is being sought widely, and also capital
 We Must Wake Up
 Meanwhile, fresh from his view of Russia, Captain Alkire cannot under stand the attitude in America toward the bolsheviki.
 The people must wake up," is his They must realize that bol- shevism is the greatest menace we have, not thing to be laughed at, or ideal lzed, but something too vile for any American to hear without loathing.
 We need strict immigration laws. for one thing; they will help keep out 5olshevism, which is nothing but so- ,ialism gone wild. Then we should take action against every person who wants to see our government over out the aliens; impEson -he Americans. America Is the best country in the world, and we must 1 1eep it for Americans"
 In regard to deporting radicals, Cap | ain Aikire is in favor of sending them | Ill off to one of our island possessions. here to try out their wild theories. 1 The case. he said, would parallel that | when the too many dogs of Constan- inople were taken out on an island | md left to amuse themselves.

 We all can realize how rotten Mexico is,'' said Captain Alkire. Well, | Russia is a Mexico made a hundred [ imes worse. It needs intervention 10 | ,ut it on it's feet, and then develop nent will come"
