nothing is left of them but row
ing bands who, however, con-
tinue their career of rapine and
murder.
One extract from the PAM
phlet depicting one of those
scenes of carnage must suffice
for this article:
corpses Fed to Dogs.
We pass over many more such
scenes. Those who wish for a fill Of
horrors should purchase the pamphlet
1.-THE Black Year" for themselves. One
further extract from the scenes of
carnage depicted must suffice for this
article.
"The victims were sabred in the
night; orders had been given not to
waste a cartridge on the 'rabble.'
The unfortunates were driven out
to the place of execution naked and
tied to one another. By some Satan
ical impulse Besrodorff (Ungern's
lieutenant) was moved to bind the
relatives together, so that the sight
Of dear ones being tortured might
still further increase the anguish Of
victims. They were further sabred
in turn in the sight of all, and the
corpses were left lying on the
ground for the Monaghan dogs to
eat" Further on Noskoff says:
This brutal murder took place in
the sight Of the whole detachment.
Hardened soldiers, accustomed to
the sight Of blood, and experienced
in civil warfare were confused. Sew
eral Of them turned away: others
abruptly cast their eyes down. All
were silent; but the feeling ran thru
the minds of all. this must be the

Red DeIiverers to the Rescue.
Finally, fear-maddened and driven to
desperation, the populace rose against
their prosecutors, joining hands open
ly with the Reds. and the White butch
ers were attacked again and again.
They attempted to retreat into Outer
Mongolia, but Mongol riders swept
thru and thru their ranks, hatred of
their White prosecutors being so in
tense that they feared not death, could
they only account for one Butcher. "
The White band was scattered far and
wide. but even now companies Of
these fiends, who have allied them
selves with Chinese bandits make
swift descents upon Russian villages,
leaving a trail of rapine and slaughter
in their wake.
These butchers of innocent women
and children have unquestionably been
supplied with arms and munitions
by Europe and America: not openly
perhaps, but none the less completely.
Can it then be wondered at that the
tortured populace has turned piteous
eyes of appeal to the Soviets for pro-
lection?
Their cries for help have been
heard. Into the Eastern arena have
sprung the Soviets-like a liOness pre-
pared to defend her cubs. The Whites
are being steadily rounded up, and
Japan, France, the corrupt Picking
government and the other Powers
have all been brought up with a round
turn. The Soviets are coming into
their own; they are Power to be
reckoned with.
Russ Plain Dealing Wins.
But Russia's place of prominence
in the East has not been won by the
might of her arms alone. 1t is largely
the result Of her policy of straight
diplomacy" and plain dealing.
An idea has always held among
foreign diplomats that Eastern na.
tious cannot deal straight. This opin-
ion is no doubt largely the outcome
of their own twisted mentality, and
has been retained in spite OF the
warnings Of many keen European OBJ
servers. II has remained for the So
