WOMAN ESCAPES;
 SAYS BOLSHEVISM IS BAD


 Mrs. Anna Keiser, of Philadelphia, who recently arrived here after having been allowed to leave Odessa as a British subject, says that in leaving that city she felt as if she were escaping from madhouse. Odessa now is ruled by the Bolshe- wiki. Mrs. Keiser is the widow of Eli Keiser, formerly of Philadelphia, who died in Odessa, and she is the daughter of Mrs. B. Willer, of Chi cago, to whose home she hopes to return.
 q want to spend the rest of my time until Bolshevism falls telling what terrible people they are," she says. "It is a crime in Soviet Russia to criticise. If any of us complained of being hungry we were taken be- fore brutal and illiterate officers who are trying to do away with intelli- gent people and were then thrown into prison to die of typhus and hunger.
 q got along partly because l wasn't afraid. After my husband died I didn't much care what be- came of me. I lived by giving les sons in English. Once, when women without working papers, mostly wi dows and daughters of well-to-do families were being gathered to- gether and sent to the farms and garrisons to clean up for the sol diers, the guards tried to take me I said, you can shoot me right now, | but go I won't So they let me pass.
 ''I had to leave as British sub. ject because I was always told the Americans had not been asked for as was the case of the British, Ital- ians or French" Describing the marriage laws o1 Soviet Russia, Mrs. Keiser says Officials ask, for how long do you wish to be married-one month two months?' A couple can even be married for a day and get di' vorce on the minute by appearing together and asking for it'.
 Mrs. Keiser says that Henry Pot ter, an American who used to be employed in the American consul ate as courier or servant and who was left there to take care of thu effects of the consulate, was exc cuted in Odessa a year ago because papers addressed to the America, state department and complaining o. the soviet system were found il his possession.
