A tragic drama of modern politi-
cal history was enacted here today
when a general without an army"
paid an official call upon an am
bassador without a country"
Smiling at fate, the actors were
Attaman Semenoff, former COM
armies Of Russia, and Boris Bakh-
the overthrown provisional govern
ment Of Russia" Semenoff was re-
ceived at the Russian embassy
when he went to pay his respects
on arriving in Washington to OBJ
tain passports for a trip to Europe.
Semenoff brought a warning of
the 'greatest war in history" which
he declared the world must face II
Bolshevism continues to control
Russia.
Predicts Greatest War.
III the Bolshevists continue in
control Of Russia for two years,
the world will be plunged into the
greatest war in history," Semenoff
declared. 1T will be a war far
different than the world war just
concluded, but the losses to life and
property will be staggering in COM
parison.
Instead Of a war with armies
and bullets and poison gas. II will
be a war Of destruction, disruption,
pestilence and starvation.
Russia has already been stricken
by the Bolshevists. In the recent
world war Russia lost 1000, 900 lives
on the battlefront and at home. In
the war of the Bolshevists against
civilization, Russia has lost 20.000,-
900 lives and 100 ,0O0. 900 people have
suffered, while property losses are
beyond computation"
Accuses Bolsheyiste.
Semenoff charged that the Boil
shevists already were waging their
war" in China, and that It ulti-
mately would spread across the face
Of the globe. He said their agents
were spreading propaganda In all
other nations. They are preaching
a war against the white race in
China. Their cry is kill off the
whites 1t is just the opening shot
in China"
As for a regular" war. Semenoff
said the Russian people would be
unable to recover sufficiently from
Soviet ruin to be able to attack
another nation within forty or fifty
years"
Touching on the Genoa confer
ence, he praised the action Of the
United States In refusing to par.
ticipate.
II must thank the United States
for it's attitude toward the Genoa
conference" he continued. That
was the right thing to do. The
Genoa conference will be a Joke, for
no allied nation will ever recognize
the Soviet government. The Soviets
are band of thieves who tenn
ruined Russia and no other nation
nomic way"
Semenoff also thanked the Ameri.
can people for sending food relief
to Russia.
II have some doubts whether the
Russian people received all tho
benefits of the $40, 900. 900 sent for
food relief unless Americans actual
ly handled direct distribution"
Semenoff continued. "If the Boil
shevists handled the food supplies,
the red army received 90 per cent
of It.
There is a terrific need for food.
clothing and every other necessity
Of life in Russia, People are dying
like flies II the United States sends
additional relief at once and then
takes direct charge OF its distribu-
ton 10 that the common people will
receive all the benefits. Il will
cement a friendship between the
Russian and American people that
will last for eternity"
