Boston Papers Praise
Wentworth Photographer

The following comments on the
work of local craftsman will be of
interest to Gardiner people:
Boston Transcript: Mr.. Bertrand
H. Wentworth, who is displaying
photographs of landscapes at the gall
lery Of the Society of Arts and Crafts
9 Park street, is truly a camera ar
fist, who, unlike so many makers of
artistic" photographs. plays well
within his field and comes off most
VIGOROUSLY. He does not neglect the
possibilities of the soft focus lens
nor does he abuse it, making every
print soft and filmy to the point of
weakness. In the photographs OF
Monhegan coast and lodges, where
fog mulls so perpetualIy roll in and
eat up sharp definitions the soft
focus most legima tely interprets ma
lures true aspect.
These photographs are in each in
stance free from any apparent ma
nipulations or strivjngs Of effect out
side the camera province, and they
are likewise handsome staightfor-
ward statements. The study of a
north Atlantic breaker as IL curls
shoreward is surprisingly like that in
Winslow Homers' fabulously priced
painting-"Early Morning After a
Storm-just acquired by the Cleve-
land Museum. In fact in their sturdy
simplicity these camera pictures by
Mr.. Wentworth bear some analogy to

creditable addition to our already

the same time the problem of the
emancipation of the peasants from the
great landowners.
Does this problem concern the
Union of Soviet Republics? 1t does,
not only for the reason that we are
a revolutionary state, but also for the
fact that this Union is not a new
name for old Russia, but a Union of
nations which, after having over
thrown the yoke of the landowners
and the capitalists, have thereby liqui-
dated the privileges of Great Russia
and created a fraternal community
of the various nations which are liv-
ing on the territory of the former en-
pire of the Cars. The Union of So
Wet Republics is not the continuation
of the politics Of Czarism. 1t recog-
nized and recognizes Lettland, Estho-
mia, Lithuania, Poland, in so far as
they constitute states Of nationalities
formerly suppressed by Czarism. But
what statute says that the Union Of
Soviet Republics must recognize the
violation carried out against the Mol

seized by the Roumanians Boyars

National Problems in South Eastern Europe

Polye poured out his heart in a lyri-
cal-historical article, by which he
tried to prove to the Serbians that
in the period of Imperialism the loss
Of national independence was not
important, provided that the Serbian
nation was maintained, though even
in the form of cannon fodder and
beasts Of burden for the Austrian i'm
perialism.
The victorious Entente, in its turn,
proceeded along the steps of the Aus
trian and German Imperialism; it
remarked the columns as its columns,
as its military and economical equip
ment, delivering considerable ter
ritories of Bulgaria as sops partly to
the Serbs, partly to the Roumanians,
and in its turn congratulating the
Roumanian Boyars for utilizing the
moment and seizing Bessarabia. AS
result, Serbia has now a national
problem, Roumania has now a series
of national problems. Neither the
one, nor the others appears to be a
homogeneous national state, both ap-
pear to be a state Of various national
tiles. In Serbia, a small clique of
Belgrad lawyers is depressing Croats,
Macedonians etc. In Roumania the
Boyars are depressing Bulgarians,
Germans, Moldovians, Ukrainians,,
Jews, etc. The masses Of the people
in these countries, awakened by the
war, are raising their head and striv-
ing to tear the chains to which they
are fettered. Especially in Roumania
the national problem constitutes at

for emancipation.
The peace negotiations with Rou-
mania began in the moment when the
military strength of Soviet Russia per-
mitted her to pass from moral SYM
pathy to political support. The Union
of Soviet Republics is strong enough
to refuse to recognize the fact of the
demand of a plebiscite regarding the
national problem in the SOUTHEAST.
The national masses Of the Soviet
Union. whose brethren are anguish
ing under the national yoke of the
Roumanian Boyars, had the right to
demand from the Soviet government
that 1t shall take over the protection
Of the Moldovians and the Ukrainians.
The Soviet government did this and
raised the slogan in the SOUTHEAST OF
Europe. 1t showed the working mas
SEES of these countries that there is
still another form OF living together
OF the nations, besides their oppres-
sion on the part Of the privileged
clique Of Great Powers, that such a
form is the voluntary union OF the
nations which have thrown OF the
chains and letters of Imperialism and
of the rule Of the landowners. Soviet
Russia has pushed the problem for
ward which Is becoming mature and
which will play formidable revolu-
tionary role in the reconstruction of
Europe on a new basis. Whether the
masses OF the people will attain this
reconstruction in the immediate
future or whether they are to meet
with long struggle, we do not know.

THE rupture of the negotiations
of the Soviet Union delegation
= with the delegation of the Rou-
manian Boyars regarding the plebis-
cite in Bessarabia has more serious
Importance than this would seem at
the first glance. 1t appears to be a
diplomatic vanguard fight bringing for
ward on the order of the day a pro-
blem from which not only the Rou-
manian Boyars, but also capitalist
world in general will not be able to
turn away; 1t puts on the order of
the day the problem Of the destinies
Of the nations residing in the South
East of Europe.
The victorious Entente has not
solved the Southeastern problem, just
as the war schemes of Germany were
not solved, when she was at the
zenith OF her success. Germany and
Austria-Hungary regarded the South
East as the bridge connecting them
with the Near East. The single
nations of the SOUTHEAST they estim-
ated as columns, on which this bridge
is supporting itself, and these columns
they strengthened with all means. For
this purpose, Austria, tried to seduce
Roumania by promising her Bessara-
bia, and another part of Serbia they
delivered to the Austria-Hungarian

Of little children and old people, so
THEY ALSO PRACTICE THEIR

This is what the reactionaries call

CEVERAL PRIESTS who were on
- the side of the rebels WERE
ALSO BUTCHERED. for instance the
priest ANREI IGNATOv of the village
Of MEDKOVETSK. THIS BRAVE
PRIEST HAD BEEN THE LEADER
OF THE RISING IN HIS DISTRICT.
Unarmed and with barred breast he
marched at the head of the rebels, and
by his heroic example, led the masses
to victorious attack on the barbed
wire entanglements protecting the
barracks in LON. He was arrested in
his village and was to be hanged on
the village common before his as.
sembled parishioners. But when the
priest launched an impassioned indict-
ment against the reactionaries, the
hands of the officers trembled and he
could not place the moose around his
neck. The priest apostrophized him
thus: "Executioner of thy people, why
dost thou tremble, maybe you have
a spark of conscience left in your
body?" Then he said in turning to-
wards this small number of big peas
ants: you tyrants of the people, do
not rejoice too soon, your hour will
soon come when your power will come
to shameful end" But even this
brave man met with a cruel death at
the hands Of the executioners.
When prisoners are made, they are
thrown by the hundreds into damp
dark cellars where they are left with
out food and water and without even
any conyeniences.

News is beginning to come in from
Y that country Of horrors-BUL-
CARA. Horrors upon horrors are be-
ing committed there by the white
bands. 1t requires the perVerse imag-
ination of reactionaries to invent the
sadist crimes perpetrated in thous-
ands Of cases by the Wrangel solda-
teska against the Bulgarian workers
and peasants. Some of their deeds
are so incredibly bestial that it is al
most impossible to write them down.
To give the workers of the world an
idea how abominably the reactionar-
les treat their fallen victims, we shall
quote few instances from the plenti-
full material contained in long re-
port placed before the Central Com
mittee Of the INTERNATIONAL RED
AID by Comrade Korlarov.
THE vengeance of the reactionary
1 soldateska, whose acts border on
madness, is not satisfied in Bulgaria
with individual terrorist acts. Like
a swarm of locusts they infect cities
and villages. The white soldiers be-
have as in an enemy country. Heavy
artillery is used against towns and
villages the inhabitants of which were
among the rebels. Thus cities and
villages have been wiped off the face
of the earth. In Berkovitza band of
100 Wrangel soldiers destroyed all the
dwellings of the workers and looted
or destroyed the shops Of the petty
bourgeoisie. Rebels who were taken
alive by the troops were tied by these
infamous torturers to motor lorries
and died a miserable death being
dragged along the ground in the mad
career Of the lorries. Before putting to
death the prisoners, they iogged them
until blood flowed. In the village of
BJELNEL all WOMEN AND YOUNG
GIRLS WE'RE VIOLATED by the sol
diers. All the young men Of this vii
lage were TORTURED in a most
cruel manner and then murdered. All
goods and chattels were CARRIED
OFF and the houses WERE BURNED.
All the villages in the FERDINAND
region met with the same fate. The
captured revolutionaries there were
huddled together and the soldateska
practised with their swords on their
live bodies. WOMEN AND CHILL
DREN WERE BRUTALITY ILL
TREATED AND VIOLATED. By
such terrible methods entire families
were exterminated in many localities.
IN the town of BURGAS 300 workers
and peasants were huddled together
