BY Cable to The Star Star and the New York
PARIS, October 29.-The govern
ment of Russia exists, but does not
govern. All power is in the hands of
woman, who occupies the post of
secretary general of the secret police
and who is known in Russia as the
Red Virgin Of the kremlin.'
This woman's word is law, not only
in all cases of espionage and counter
revolution, but she is also the center
of a group which devotes itself to the
creation of a gigantic alliance between
Russia. China and Eastern nations to
be guided by the German general staff
in a new attack upon France and the
Western world.
These are the revelation of NJ.
Charles Chieto, French writer, who
has returned to Paris after an absence
of three years, most of which time
was spent in the Loubianka Prison
and in the Fortress of Peter and Paul
in Leningrad. Chieto, who set up
originally to describe conditions in
Russia for a Paris daily. was arrested
because Of his connections during the
war with the French intelligence serv-
| ice.
Minister Left Country.
In the orgy of espionage that
brought France close to the brink of
downfall in 1917. Chieto was admitted
ly one of the ablest unravelers of spy
plots. His Russian experiences are as
sembled in a book that was published
at the moment when Christian Rakow-
sky. Soviet Ambassador to France,
was accused by several newspapers in
Paris OF having been spy during the
war. NJ. Rakowsky did not await the
storm that broke loose following
Chieto's revelations, but departed in
automobile for the German frontier
without presenting his recall papers to
President Doumergue, as diplomatic
| procedure demands.
Chieto says in his book that he
was present at a meeting at which
| the RED Virgin of the Krenlin" out
| lined a campaign for the subJugation
Of Europe. He reports her as saying
to the graduating class of the Mos
COW War College:
| "We are working night and day
| for a powerful alliance. We are try
ing to group the forces of Russia and
those Of China ami stir up SO much
trouble in India that England will

Opinion in Paris is heatedly divided
as to the value OF Chieto's book. The
extreme radicals treat 1t as an i'm

to aid in the campaign to force
France to break with the Sovets.

declare that even so insane and Grim
