RUSS TELLS OF
SOVIET HORRORS
Noted Writer, Just Before Death,
Asked U. S. Not to Be
Deceived.
LIES ARE SENT BROADCAST
mo Words to Describe Darkness
Around U.s." Is Assertion Of Plea
Made by Leonid Andreiev, the

New York.-"S. o. S." a remark
able literary document by Leonid An.
dreiev, written by the great Russian
novelist and short story writer just be-
fore his death recently, has been re-
ceived in this country by the Ameri-
can Central Committee for Russian
Relief, with headquarters in the HO-
tel Buckingham, New York.
Andrews message, like a voice
from the dead, describes the blight of
bOlshevism over his country. An
dreiev had been a pacifist, as shown
by his play 1.-THE Red Laugh" publish
ed during the Russo-Japanese war.
but he came out strongly for the al
lies and their cause. His pen was al
so turned against bolshevism with tell
ing effect.
Appeals to America.
In one paragraph the writer makes
direct appeal to America in these
words:
And you, every individual Ameri-
can-I call to you. You are young
and rich, you are broad in spirit and
energetic. you desire that the torch of
your freedom shall throw its light on
distant Europe also-come then and
see in what agony we are, in what in
human servitude our body and our
spirit are struggling. If you would
but see, l assure you, you would be
terrified and you would curse those
deceivers and liars who have repre-
sented this most evil tyranny to you
as break on the part of tho whole
Russian people for liberty"
Andreiev explains the title Of his
appeal thus:
Like wireless operator on q sink
ing steamer that through the night
and the darkness sends the last calls.
Quickly to our aid. We are sink
ing. Save our SOULS so also I, moved
by my faith in human clemency, throw
into the dark space my prayer of per-
ishing human beings. If you but knew
how dark the night is around usl
There are no words to describe this
darkness"
Worse Than Death.
At another point he writes:
1T Is not assistance for the Rus
sian people that implore Of you. But
here are these thousands, more or
less who have but one life, which
is but an instant, and who are perish
ing every hour in unbearable suffer-
Ing, or who live, but in a way worse
than death. 1t is of no importance
that they are called Russians, but it
Is of Importance that these human
beings, whose sufferings began so
long ago and continue endlessly, con-
tinue without CLEAN of light, as In
a real hell, from which malignant, ter
rible forces rule unchallenged.
There is still time to shorten their
sufferings; there is still time to re-
move the menace Of death from their
heads, and it is for the saving of their
souls that I send forth my human
prayer"
10 give assistance to these suffer-
Ing Russians in non-bolshevik terri
tory the American Central Committee
for Russian Relief was formed, with
prominent Americans at the head of
1t. Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
titus Of Harvard, is the honorary pres
ident; Elihu Root, Samuel Gompers.
John r. Mott and Cyrus II. McCor-
mick are vice-presidents. Princess
Cantacuzene, granddaughter of Presl-
dent Grant, is chairman.

one to family two generations

obstacle to many marriages
might be removed If the woman

came a wife.
