Red-which is tops in bitterness. Nevertheless Gen.
era Denkn suddenly sounded off to his fellow White
Russian exies with blast of indignation against Adolf
Hitler. who hates the Soviet government almost as
bitterly General Denkin does.
Denikn charged that Hitler is plotting to carve the
fertile Ukraine of Russias southwest flank and
add it to Germany. The general claimed to have OBJ
tanned the whole plan years ago from Hitler
himself. H. wound up by condemning any White
Russian who flrts with Hitler with view to weaken
ing Stain. and declared that white or Red
fatherland remains our fatherand"
For all that. White Russians in large numbers
reported be offering to help Hitler in any way they
when and if ne takes off for the Ukraine. 1t is
notorious that White Russians in Manchuria for years
have been spying and stool -pigeoning on the Sovies
for Japan. General Denkin has beautifully senti-
mental love for his faherland, but apparently fewer
and fewer Russian exiles string along with him.
What they want is revenge.
To u.s. it's an illustration of the inadvisablity of
killing king when the time comes for change in
government.
When the Bolsheviks shot the Car
M0kNg and his family to death in cellar they
Mu,4ro thought they doing the only safe
and proper thing. 1t felt by radicals
all the world that Czardom had become so rotten
that the only way out bump off the Gar and all
his reachable relatives.
What was the practical effect? That murder of
gentle old dub his pathetic wife and his goodooking
daughters lighted fire in the heart of many Rus
sian which hasn't out yet. 1t was better hate
maker than the Boshevik murders of 100000
aristocrats, inellectuals and professional people,
the starvation of three four million peasants
in 1882 for not growing surpluses for the Soviet
government to cOnfScate.
1t has generally worked out that way The British
Round-heads under Oliver Cromwell executed Charles

have practically always reacted against the killer and his
friends and in favor of the party backing the slain leader
And there is the classic example of Marie Antonette
and her husband King Louis XVI, guilotned by the
French Revoutionists January 21, 1898. Marie was
flghty little fuss-budget and Louis was dumb cuck,

But the French Revolution seriously threatened by
the consequences The French exles revenge,
that queen they had particularly liked in life
martyrized and with the aid of the Duke of Brunswick
the exies came overturning the revolution.
The Germans aren't noted for diplomatic fnesse; but
they handled this particular problem much sensbly
than did the Reds. Instead of killing the Kaiser they
let him run away Holland where he has been choppng
wood and keeping his mouth fairly we'll shut and appar
emily enjoying life these 20 years. He is martyr,
and hence problem to Germany. 1t is improbable
that there will be any Hohenzoerns the German
throne And although, rather because, Wittes-

the Central Empires is most unlikely that scons of
those degenerate stocks will again be Gods Anointed

Instead of killing their kings and thereby starting

but they might learn a few things from the Germans.
