Studied the Army
"While in the Red army l. made
detailed observations of the organi-
zation. In 1918, the first so-called
Red army was nothing more than a
disorderly rebel, officered by such as
melted the soldiers to the destruc-
tion of anything and everything that
could be termed bourgeois and CAPT
talistic. But as soon as the counter
revolution of Krassnoff, Denikin and
others commenced, Trotzky realized
Immediately that an efficient army
with trained officers was necessary
At the present very large number
of former and influential officers OF
the Gar are serving the Bolsheviki
the majority of them doing so under
compulsion.
"The first means taken to enforce
compulsory service by czarist Of
fcers was declaration which every
officer was compelled to sign, stat
ing that he was aware that in case
of his infdelity to the Soviet gov
ernment his wife, child and other
relatives would be deported to con-
centration camps. This threat was
an exceedingly potent factor.
Terror, however, was not the
only means utilized. AS the Soviet
government realized the necessity
of experts it changed its attitude
toward that class. Despite the in
clination of the lower Soviet Of
fcials to treat the officers and ex-
perts in the usual style, that is Jail
them, kill them and starve them,
Lenine and Trotzky endeavored to
coneiliate this class and addressed
them in tone of consideration.
These are the conditions which
prompt officers to serve in the
army:
81. Restoration of iron discipline
and absolutist military authority.
"2. Disappointment at the effects
of Allied intervention.
50. Superior rations and pay.

j number OF outposts along the lakes.
1t was necessary to avoid them.
Being close to the lakes we were
obviously deserters. We, therefore,
decided to travel in a peasants cart.
we told him we were Greens and he
gave 'us food and permitted us to
sleep in his hut. After getting some
rest we set out for one of the lakes.
1t was two miles distant. In the
woods close by there was patrol of
forty men, and cavalry guards could
be seen riding up and down along the
shores every now and then. We ran
along straight piece of road, which
was half under water, and slipped
into the woods again. Five minutes
later patrol came dashing down
through the mire in the opposite di-
rection. Once near the shore we Law

march around the lake.
ut was long march, for the
lake was sixteen miles long and ten
miles wide. 1t being dark we could
not walk in the woods, so we had
to wade knee deep through the bogs
on the shore. We were in desperate
straits, and ! began to feel that it
would be best perhaps that I were
dead.
Suddenly we hit upon piece Of
good luck, when to our great delight
we found castaway fishing boat in
the marshes. 1t was a shabby old
thing, and it leaked badly, but on
examination it appeared that it could
be used provided one man bailed all
the time. We cut some oars out Of
branches and rowed across to
Latvia.
The day rose bright and glorious

The night was superb. | leaned
over the parapet, gazed across to the

"At the beginning of May, 1919,"
said Sir Paul, II enlisted as volun-
teer in a regiment of friend of the
manager of my works, who, although
strongly opposed to the Bolsheviki,
gained their favor by blowing up
the wrong bridges when Yudenitch
advanced on Petrograd. My COM
nlander intended to blow up the re-
treat of the Reds, but by an error
blew up the retreat of their oppo-
nents. Thinking that he had done so
purposely, the Communists extended
to him an invitation to join the Com
nunist party and gave him a COM
nland. AS private in this regi-
ment, stationed close to the Polish
lines, my commander delegated me
to Moscow and Petrograd in various
duties, such as purchase Of books,
motor tires, etc.

sources and to gather such informa-
tion on conditions in general as /

After spending considerable
time in the army there came orders
from Moscow to Sir Paul's COM
mander to move his regiment to a
distant part of the front. Dukes
felt he could no longer remain in the
army under this condition, for there
was certain danger of his being cut
off from the political centers of So
Wet Russia and losing touch with
his aids in Petrograd and Moscow.
He decided to desert and to leave
Soviet Russia.
Thus it came to pass" said
Dukes, chat on the evening of the
last day of August, 1920, I set out
from Petrograd with two com
panions, ostensibly in obedience to
orders that we join an artillery
brigade on a distant portion of the
front. The first night we spent in
the lobby of railway carriage in
which there were nine additional
passengers. The train was already
packed when we arrived. Even the
buffers and roofs were occupied.

day we slept on the grass near GER

the train reached it we jumped off

close to the frontiers of Russia, Lat

straight out: Are you for us or
against us?'
In the course of Zinovieff's speech
the Internationale was played three
times. The last occasion was when
he showered praises ON the repre-
sentatives of the Baltic fleet, the
flower Of the revolution.' The com
nissar of the dreadnpught Petropav-
lovsk was presented with Red ban
ner. Zinovieff's s excessive praise of
the Baltic sailors was significant in
view of the fact that during the
strikes disaffection had shown itself
among them also. The beginning of
that disaffection has now matured
into open revolt on the part of the
entire Baltic fleet against the Soviet
government.
In the name of the Petrograd
proletariat,' exclaimed Zinovieff, 4

the Red Baltic fleet.

to sweep them away. They are look

them to victory. Long live the Com
munist Internationale.'
"He ended amidst tremendous
cheering. The orchestra played the
Internationale twice.
There were several other speak
ers, all of whom sang the praise of
the Communist party and the good
Judgment Of the electorate. The au-
dience became very tired. The meet
inc dragged on until long after mid
night. Periodically the Interna-
tionale was played. Toward the end
many people were lolling over the
desks with.their heads on their arms.
At last Zinovieff arose and declared
that the prmsidium had decided to
leave all other business till the fol-
lowing meeting.
